Uncle Rows Corner

Now and then, a new village is
started in Africa. IF the houses
are to be built in a jungle or
forest, much work must be done
to clear the area.
Sometimes there is a special
worry. The natives say that evil
spirits live in the place where the
village is to stand.
In the French Cameroons the
Topa natives ask their witch
doctors to attend to that danger.
Two or more of these men pick
up magical mops and go into
the wilds. The mops usually are
short poles or sticks with red
dyed wool fastened to the end.
A witch doctor puts on a
strange garb before starting his
work. Under q cone-shaped hat
he wears o wig Of q queer kind.
The wig has long curls which
cover the face. The magicians
are able to see through spaces
between the curls, but their fea-
lures are hidden.

Another task of the witch doc
tors is to tattoo the boys. Once
in about five years, q call goes
out to all the villages in the
Toma area. The boys Of certain
ages-say between IL and Is
gather in the chief village. In
a nearby forest they are placed
In a fenced-in area. 50
Hundreds of men gather for
the ceremony. The witch doc
tors wear masks and charms, and
their messengers are painted
white. The other men cover
themselves with banana leaves.
There is dancing before the
tattooing starts. Then the witch
doctors work on 100 or more
boys. Knives are used to make
shallow cuts In the back Of each
one. Some Of the boys howl
with pain, but others are brave.
More scratches are given to the
brave boys than to those who
howl or oxy. I

Famous Fables
By e. E. EduaI

INSULT: An actress friend
OF comedian w. c. Fields
once asked him to watch her
infant son while she went
shopping.
BE sure to give him his
formula In an hour" she
told him.
At the end of the hour,
Fields went to the refrig-
orator for the bottle. It
slipped from his hand and
fell to the floor, spilling the
contents. Fortunately. the
actress had left a slip Of
paper listing the formulas
ingredients. Fields meas
ured the proper ingredients
and fed the baby.
When the mother re-
turned, he told her what
had happened.
"Are you sure you mixed
1t properly" she inquired
anxiously.
MY dear young woman"
replied Fields, his pride hurt,
Give been mixing drinks for
so years and I haven't had a
complaint yet"
ESTIMATE: Hum orist
Robert Benchley was intro
duced to a middle-aged

actor, without blinking an
eye, 81 think I'll have a fling
