So he um mm.hfl"ls::rm!sbn to “follow the white man.” sent him to his elder haif- brother, the present King, who re- fused his request. Then he called a council of the potentates, but, having consulted with the gods, they also re- fused him. So he fled, (ollovl!d by one faithful elder, who, however, lost cour- age at the border and, having spit upon Blooah's face and back to invoke upon him the blessing of the gods, returned. Blooah fled to a missionary in a near- by nation, who dressed him in “Ameri- can clothes,” which consisted of a long shirt that hung down to his knees. He was delighted with this first symbol of civilisation, He was taken to Upland, Ind., where he went to school. Later, he attended Depaw University, studied for the min- istry at Garrett Biblical Institute, and finally went to the University of Chi- cago, where he became a bachelor of philosophy. During these years he made his living at odd jobs, standing so little on his royal dignity that he set up pins in a bowling alley. Kings Work Hard. When asked how this job compared with being King, he laughed. “In Africa,” he said, King works for his living Nke every other member of the tribe; in fact, harder, for he ha: Al '69 *79 Jacquard stery. 4 ‘67 98 vanity. bed, chest $169 Living Room Suite, 3 Pcs.

But Mr. Blooah did not enough money to get them, so he wld his troubles to a Methodist pecple’s meeting. The sym- pathetic bwothers took up a collection with which the cherished articles were bought. Thus the road was cleared for the University of Chicago's scientific expedition. Mr. Blooah explained his mission, saying, “I wish to interpret native cul- ture to the people out here. I shall bring back actual data of African civilization which is in some ways high- er than American civilization.” Is Teetotaler. He will teach his subjects those aspects of American culture that he considers higher than theirs. But he will by no means tell them all about the United States. Being a teetotaler, he will not let them know how prohi- bition has turned out. Such knowledge, he thinks, would be bad for them. He will not tell them of American morality, which he considers lower than the savage. “In my country,” he said, “looseness with Iromen is punished by death, and that is a good idea. I should like to see it done in America. In Nimiah if you see a neighbor doing anything you report him to the authorities. There is no organized police system, but every man, woman and child is a policeman. That would be good over here, too.
