In fact, all African babies who are not born singly or in perfect health have short lives, For their parents fear the devil inhabits the unusual child and they throw .him to the crocodiles. 3 This is one of the interesting stories of the strange customs of some natives in that dark land, told by Dr. Daniel Davenport, who has recently returned from five years' ex- ploration in regions along the west coast of Africa. : Yesterday in his suite at the Royal York hotel, Dr. Davenport related tales he had heard from natives he believed reliable and sights that he had seen that surpas- sed even the thrilling narratives of Trader Horn, Stories of tribal wars. of apes that reasoned like humans, of a gorilla that split a crocodile in two with one great bash of its arm, and of a little old native who was impervious to pain and whose wounds shed water when pierced with spears, " "When I tell native chiefs of the wonders of civilization, of radio, aviation, automobiles and so forth, they listen silently and curiously, and then they say, 'We've had a fine time; you're the best liar we've ever hapened to know," " he said with a little smile. "Well, when I tell white people of African tribes who throw women who have passed maturity to crocodiles, I am afraid I expect them to pat me on the back and say the same thing." Dr. Davenport is a Canadian, born in Moose Jaw and educated in Eng- land. He 1s about middle height and slight. "The Congo pulls one down, you know," he said. He does not look like "a big game hunter," nor like "a bug-collector," although he has "captured lions and studied the tse-tse fly, He's just a regular Bri- Tells Dyspeptics What to Eat Strict Diets Often Unnecessary It is a well known fact that some foods have a strong tendency to produce excessive stomach acidity and consequent indigestion.

He has also brought home with him two natives, both big black chaps. One is a Bengalla, which is a cannibal tribe in the Belgian Congo. The other is a Douala from the Cam- erpons, now mandated to France, Both have served him for the last five years, and once when he was bitten by a cobra they carried him for 30 days .on a, trip of over 100 miles. Yesterday they stood with gleaming smiles while Dr. Davenport pointed out the fantastic scars on their faces that were carved with sharp knives on their Baby skin. Although Dr, Davenport paid high tribute to missionaries, he commented that social diseases arise from the contact of white men. "In the 17 villages in which I was the first white man to enter and in nine prov- inces, I have found social 'diseases and sexual perversion only where white men have pentrated," he said. "But nothing | can say for the mis- sionaries is too fine, Regardless of sect they display the most extraor- dinary unselfishness. The first thing they do is to introduce sanitation, and the so-called belief that the na- tive missionary boy is a bad boy, which is so often broadcast, I have 'tion to 1 €atla, found to be absolutely ious." In spite of his pleasure at being again ivilization, Dr. Davenport is already planning another expedi- frica in September, But first of all he is going home to Moose "I haven't been there since he said, "for 1 was over four years on the western front in a Bri- tish hospital unit and have been away ever since." AFTERMATH OF THE WAR (Halifax Herald) Many tragedies of the War are just beginning to emerge from the after- math, Men who thought they were strong and fit 'at demobilization now find that their health is going, that the effects of old wounds are coming back, that they ate getting old before their time. This is not phrase-turn- ing: it is fact, Look a&cut you and sce for yourself. Some say it is a "serious problem" for this country, it is no problem--if this country will but do its duly toward the men who served and suffered.
