be going to happen here. They had been completely washed out. Their dam was gone. Their house was gone. Their food pile was gone. They asked if they might stay with Patldy and Mrs. Pad- dy until the flood was over. Paddy said they were welcome. Then he showed them what was happen- ing at the dam. One of them want- ed lo know if something couldn't be done to stop the water rush- ing out.

said Paddy.

"Four of us working together ought to be able to do something about it." said the eager young Beaver.

Tiiat was a new thought to Pad- dy and Mrs. Paddy. Right away the four put their heads together. "The first thing to do is to find out just how bad things are." said Paddy. ”Then, we can decide what to do next.”

"If you two can mend the break we two can get the sticks and bring them. You probably know better than we do just how to build.” aid one young Beaver. The other nodded in agreement.

”I do believe the water has stopped rising." said Mrs. Paddy.

All four watched for a few mo- ments. Then one "of them as- claimed. ''It is going down. not rising!"

”llhat means that the water is running out through that hole fast- er than it is coming down into

the pond." said Paddy.

”And if that hole gets bigger and bigger the water will go out faster and faster. And by and by there won't be any pond." said Mrs. Paddy mournfully.

”Then the sooner we get busy the better.” declared one of the young Bavers. ”l..et's go over right now. and see just how bad things are."

So the four Beavers swam over to the break in the dam. It was then that they saw that the big log that had made the hole had become stuck there in such a way that it was partly blocking the hole. The were quick to see what this meant. By making use

Strange But True . Iy I. ll. MacArthur '

A Wahgi Valley debutante of New Guinea does no work: she lives a carefree life. Marriage in her early teens ends forever her freedom and makes her a sort of slave. The rest of her life she is a drawer of water and how-

care of gardens, the cooking of meals. and the taking care of children and pigs.

The number and variety of shells worn about her person measures her father's wealth and the price she will bring at the time of her marriage.

It would take it gold-lip shells to

buy a wealthy father's daughter. Sometimes the price of a high- class wife adds up to we man- hours of labor. If the husband is unable to meet the cost and he is a likable chap, the girl may be sold to him on the instalment plan. just as we buy cars and furniture. y An unhappy bride may leave her husband with no penalty ex- cept forfeit of the marriage pay- ment. She thus retains some con- trol over her destiny. and in prac- tice she subtly chooses her life partner. All married women. without ex- ception. use pig grease to per- fume their hair and bodies. Pig grease. as a perfume, wouldnit appeal to the women folk of this Island. or to the men either, but in this land of rare birds and Stone Age men. pig greaseg is a must with the ladies.

And strange but true, tribal lore associates the ghost of pigs with the souls of deceased rela-

ers. the Natives make geruas. symbolic wooden shields. and carry them during slaughterings In cemeteries. Once used. the shields are left behind to rot in the jungle. There the sorcercr's taboos guard them against furth- er use. Natives believe that if this ritual is not faithfully carried out. their ancestors 'wlll return to haunt them.

of this, and keeping it right where it was. it would be easier to mend the break than if the log wasn't there.

"I believe we really can do it,” said Paddy hopefully.

"Of course we can." replied one of the eager young Beavers. Be- ing young. they were full of hope and anxious to get to work.

So it was agreed what each should do. and without more de- lay they started to work.

You know. there are no better workers in all the Great World than Beavers.

The Pescadores islands in the Formosa strait were named from the Portuguese word for ”fisher- men."

GAMBLING FEARED

SASKATOON (CPI-The city's ministerial association ado pted Monday the report of a committee which said it is "convinced from reliable information that there is a well-organized attempt by pro- fessional gamblers to promote gambling on a large scale in Saskatoon." It said committee members were "convinced that the recent increase in tempo of small gambling enterprises for charitable purposes. while having no connection with professional gambling. is gradually breaking down the public conscience in the face of such an attempt.”

France has 24 cities of more than 100,000 inhabitants, compared with 19 in 1936.
