Mention at the Belgian Congo pre-
sents a mental picture ot impene-
trable Jungle, wild beasts, and na-
tives who feast on human flesh.
There are jungles, wild beasts,
and tribes still inclined to augment
their bill of fare with an occasional
tribal enemy or unwary traveler in
the vast Belgian colony, but the
American soldiers just arrived at
Leopoldville will be amazed that the
colonial capital is a modern city
with a normal population of 30.000.
Three hundred and fifty miles up
the Congo river, the soldier boy
from Keokuk or Kalamazoo will find
there electrically lighted streets,
palm fringed, and lined with brick
and cement puildmgs. Invited to
dine in a Leopoldville home, he will
be cooled by electric fans, and
served food from an electric refrig-
erator.
The capital is the nerve center of
the colony's c. jnomic life. Eastern
terminus of t.e recently established
trans-Atlantic plane route from Mi-
ami, Fia., it also has air connec-
tion with every commercially impor-
tant colonial settlement.
Usefulness of the air service is
apparent in the quantity of gold and
diamonds shipped from Congo
mines by plane. Falls in the sec-
tion of the river between the city
and the Atlantic outlet drop the wa-
ter level 800 feet and balk steamer
navigation. North of the city the
Congo is navigable for more than a
thousand miles. The colony spreads
over an area almost one-third as
large as the United States. In square
mileage it is rouglily equivalent to
the aggregate of Texas, Arizona,
New* Mexico, California, Nevada
and Montana.

French Guiana Noted for
Notorious Penal Island
Before the war, gold, sugar, rum,
hides, fish glue, and various woods
were exported from French Guiana,
South America. The banana mar-
ket was expanding. Growers of
maize, sweet potatoes, and cassava,
for the most part consumed their
products themselves.
In a move to open up the interior
the French government, in 1930,
made the hinterland a separate ter-
ritory, named it Inini, and left its
supervision to the colonial governor.
Development was made difficult by
the lack of good roads and navigable
waterways, and by the dearth of
workers able to stand the heat.
French Guiana is best known as a
penal settlement. For almost a cen-
tury convicts have been sent from
France to the Guiana mainland or
to one of the penal isles off the
coast. Devil’s island is a green bit
of tree-capped land about 27 miles
from the mainlar 1. It was reserved
for political prisoners sentenced to
life imprisonment. At times it has
held less than a dozen convicts. Its
ill-fame baa been epitomized in its
other name, “the ury guillotine.’*

First Time Used
Mr. Albert Matthews has shown
that the expression Indian Summer
does not occur anywhere either in
printed books or manuscripts until
the year 1794; but at that time it
was in use throughout the Atlantic
states. The popular belief that In-
dian Summer weather waa predicted
Iqr the native Indians in conversa-
tion with the Brat European settlers
finds no documentary corroboration,
and the Men that the term Indian
Summer was employed by the early
settlers seems to be a myth. In
general, neither this term nor any-
thing corresponding to it is to be
found in any Indian language. The
term Indian Summer in its present
usage was introduced into England
from America. In 1778 Horace Wal-
pole used the same expression, but
he evidently had in mind the in-
tense heats of the midsummer
weather in India and the West In-
dies.
War-Style Bob for Carrots
Carrots are getting a “military
haircut” these days— nothing fancy,
just a quick bob. As a result Uncle
Sam is saving on wood and nails
and on transportation space needed
in war.
Bobbing carrot tops has been
practiced on a small scale for sev-
eral years. Now the shortage of
packaging materials may give it
an impetus. Some growers and ship-
pers have found that by cutting the
carrot tops to a length of four inches
or less they can save up to 40 per
cent of the crate space. This means
saving on crating material, lumber
and nails.
Carrots with four-inch tops remain
fresh just as long as those with full
foliage, and much longer than those
whose tops are pared at their base,
say marketing specialists. To facili-
tate marketing pf these carrots With
short-trimmed tops, the agricultural
marketing administration recently
announced new U. S. standards for
topped carrots, fh addition to meet-
ing other quality requirements,
these carrots “shall have leaf stems
which ire free from damage by
any cause and which shall be cut
back to not more than four inches
in length.”

‘Gibraltar of the North’
Victim of geographical position,
Luxembourg's destiny as a stadium
for th? contests of warring neigh-
bors goes back to the ancient Huns
and Goths. It has been overrun by
the Romans. Burgundians, Span-
iards, Austrians, French, and Prus-
sians. For centuries before the
treaty of 1867, the capital of the state
was known as the “Gibraltar of the
North” because of its stoutly forti-
fied cliffs.
The first shot fired on to neutral
ground in 1914 was fired into the
vineyard village of Remich ton Lux-
embourg’s southeastern frontier. In
1919 Genera] Pershing and the dough-
boys of the American army of occu-
pation were heartily welcomed by
the relieved citizens of the re-
emancipated state.
Chartered by Congress
The American National Red Cross
is not a part of the government, but
it was chartered by congress, by an
act of 1705, “to furnish volunteer aid
to the sick and wounded cf armies
in time of war in accordance with
the convention of Geneva; to act in
matters of voluntary relief and in
accord with the military and naval
authority, as a medium of commu-
nication between the American peo-
ple and their army and navy; to
continue and carry on a system of
national and international relief in
time of pahee, and ta apply the same

But Brantley d-d not flout war or-

—a sticky soil—and made adobe

The only materials Brantley
bought, afti r an inventory of build-

Such an outlay is good business,
Brantley believes, because eggs sold
from 150 chicks last rear brought

and to take a wr.nck at tiie Axis too.

... and WAR
When you hear chat bombing planes cost
$335,000, tanks $75,000, anti-aircraft guns
$50,000—And when you hear, too, that
America needs 60,000 planes, 45,000 tanks,
and 20,000 anti-aircraft guns at once —
It doesn’t take much fig-
uring to see that winning
this war calls for every
dollar all of us can scrape
together. With our freedom at
stake—with our farms, families,
even our very lives depending
upon the outcome, we’d gladly
give this money.
But we aren’t asked to do that.
Our Government asks us only to
lend the money—to put our in-
creased earnings into W ar Bonds
— month after month — until this
war is won. In doing so, we save
for our own security as well. For
we get hack S I for every S3 we
invest, when the Bonds are held
10 years. And if we need the
money, vve can get it all hack any
time after 60 days from issue date.
This is the American way—the
volunteer wav—to raise the pil-
lions needed for Victory. And the
money can ... will .. . must be
raised.
So let’s Show them that the fa»U-
ers of America are helping to
win this war in two vitally impor-
tant wavs—by producing more
Food for Freedom and by saving
more in \X ar Bonds.
