Hill is Republican candidate for Congress. These sections are again divided on the war map into wards, which represent army divisions, the divisions in turn being grouped into precincts, which are the regimental groupings. Finally the regiments are divided into city blocks, which are the military companies. Each company is commanded by a man and a woman captain. The “buck” privates are the ultimate workers and voters. Each day the candidate goes to gen- eral headquarters and scans his hugs various sectors are made with the pins and flags, Orders, in military style, are issued to the divisional commanders and bulletins are read.

Outside the villages, one might stum- ble upon the skeleton of a tribesman whose body has been Jeft to the hyenas, jackals and vultures. Only the chief of the tribe deserves a burial. After a chief has been buried for a year the son of his successor digs up the old chief’s skull, which is a treasured possession in the village. Wives Like Ornaments. ‘The tribesman’s wives presiding over his hut jingle with every move. Their legs and arms are covered with dozens of wire rings. These adornments and a dozen or more rings enclircling their necks sometimes weigh between 15 and 25 pounds. Both men and women are frequently seen with wood cylinders and tin cans in their distended lobes. Masai tribesmen have been almost impossible to convert from Nature worship. When their chief would in- voke the pleasure of the gods, all the children of the village stand in a circle and chant. Grass is sacred to the tribesmen. If a Masai hands a stranger a tuft of green grass, it suggests friend- ship. When young warriors start out on raids their sweethearts throw grass upon them to insure victory. The hyena has a certain sacred character, If a beast happens to cross the path of a warrior, the whole tribe goes in mourning. The python is held in ven- eration, for they believe the souls of their ancestors are reborn in them. Some tribesmen worship a black and a red god. The black god is benevolent, living immediately above the earth, while the red god lives further -up in the heavens, When the Masai hear thun- der, they believe the red god is to get through the domain of the black god. The rumbling is the voice of the black god pleading with the red god not to harm the tribesmen below. ‘The Masal hate agriculture in their native environment. They are cattle herders wheh not on the warpath, and live entirely upon the food their herds provide. It is a comman practice to drink warm blood immediately after it has been drawn from a cow shot with an arrow through the jugular vein. for the Money YOU'RE probably considering an all-electric radio.
