Central Tanganyika,

T this point on the trail one thing becomes clear: this great East African Empire is no place to have n toothache. In all of Tanganyika, three times the size of Britain, there are seven dentists. There are likewise, over all the terri- tory, 137 doctors.

пе

The Government just knowledged this, with a certain quiet pride. Should there be trouble from that broken-down. bicuspid, it is the snake's blood and magic bones treatment for

me.

Let it be said that the body and mind get equal treatment. In the whole of Tanganyika there is no European secondary school and enough primaries for only about half the children. One mentions these and the following matters in no mood of criticism: only because when we talk of Colonial Development in Africa it is as well to know what it is we have to develop.

Development, and how to do it. Tanganyika, for instance, has just three railways, of which only two contrive to meet. It is as if Britain had a line from London to Bristol, and another from Grimsby to Man chester, and that was the finish. In this enormous lump of land there are fewer than 40 miles of metalled roads.

Waiting

To get from Dar-es-Salaam to Southern Rhodesia (and why shouldn't one, one feels like asking) you take a ship, if you can, to Beira, in Portuguese East Africa, and train on the one up-country line from there, It may take a week or two.

LOVE TOPS THE POLL

BY C.V.R. THOMPSON

- NEW YORK.

PROFESSIONAL politicians of Milwaukee,

beer capital of America, have been told that they will probably lose their campaign for mayor's post to an ex-Follies girl,

Mra Ruth Froemming used to be in a Broad- way show. Today, she is 50 and the mother of four.

In her campaign for mayor, she has con- founded her opponents by refusing to debate such hot political issues at high prices, lower taxes, and better wages. Instead, she has cam- paigned for more, and better brotherly love.

Typical of her slogans-Let's have a feeling heart and a helping hand; chop your own wood and it will warm you twice; we must make Milwaukee merrier, mightier, and more modern, keep the citizens happy and give them what they need-love and understanding, and a space in the good earth for a parsley bed.

So captivated are the people of Milwaukee by Mrs Froemming's unorthodox views that, according to pollsters, they will elect her with a handsome majority.
