Folk who have stopped over in
Dakar, however. report consider
able building activity in the
European" (another way of say
ing white) section there. These
visitors say the white area of the
city Ia quite attractive, much Of
1t modern. BY contrast the sec
tons where the natives live are
neglected, with shacks serving as
houses. These are filthy and smell
ly with great swarms Of flies
almost constantly present.
Use U. s. Money 70 Build Trade
The French, like the British
are making good use Of U. 8. do
mated European Recovery act
funds in building up their Afri-
can colonies, even II natives do
not benefit directly. Liberia. al
though most of the fats and oils
she exports go to Europe, can
not get ECA money because Con-
gress earmarked the money spe-
officially for Europe.
Liberia Neglected
This seeming negligence Of a
friendly country occurs even
though Liberia Is surrounded on
one side by competing French
colonies and on the other side by
q rival English colonial area. The
European nations seem to be US
ing this American money to equip
their African dependencies to pro-
duce more food for home con-
sumption in France, England and
other countries, and to make hv-
ing more pleasant for their colon
ial agents who administer them.
French Colonies Inferior
French colonies, as have visit
ed them, gave me something Of a
shock. The famed democratic at
titude which we have always at
tributed TO France and Paris and
the French slogan of Freedom,
Liberty and Equality" had led me
to believe that in her colonial pos
sessions, one might expect to find
enlightened treatment At least,
one would expect humane con-
sideration of the rights Of the ma
tives. To the contrary, I found
the French colonies distinctly in
ferior.
France has. II is true, declared

Homing Pigeon Homes

Instead of homing to his pigeon

The pigeon, named Joey, is six

He whizzed off and Joined her
In the classroom, two and one-half

He also finds Ivy when she's stop

The doctor said he thought the

Kessler said that after the man
learned routine ~dexterity, such as
tying a shoe, the amputee was fitted
with two special pairs Of metal
fingers which he learned to spread
to cover a wide range of notes.
The doctor said it was not enough
to give a man an artificial appliance

Family Radio May Soon
Become Mosquito-KiHer

NEW YORK. - The f a mily
radio soon may be used to kill
mosquitoes-and not with COM
mercials, either.
Just broadcast the song Of the
female mosquito, amplified a
million times. Male mosquitoes,
lured by the siren song, come
arunning and are burned to a
crisp on an electrical grille COW
ering the loud-speaker of the
radio.
DR.. Morton c. Kahn, associate
professor of public health at Cor
nell university medical college,
says that on a recent trip to Cuba
he conducted an experiment in
the center Of a vast mosquito
filled bog. The female voice,
broadcast over giant loud-speak-
ers, attracted every male mos
quito within a one mile radius.
They persisted on a charged
grille.
There's one little hitch, how
ever. Females, probably being
smarter, aren't drawn by the
call Of the male mosquito.
It's the female mosquito that
causes humans all the trouble.
(The male mosquitoes beak is
not strong enough to pierce the
human skim
