His recommended list of do’s and don’s follows: 1. Remember the natives are highly provincial, Often they won't leave their own immediate area and the white man, out for a walk with some of them, might suddenly find himself alone in the jungle. ; 2. Respect tribal superstitions. Julian Wilson. Associated Press photographer, recently visited the Lolos and reported he anger- ed his host by throwing a match into the fire.

The native powers. The gun helps think that. He might be too dis- illusioned if nothing happened after a shot.” 4. Never, if you can help it, strike a native. Tate recalls the | case of a soldier on a jungle ex- | pedition with him who lost his | temper that way. He was found! the next day with a poison dart in his back, which he never saw or heard coming. 5. Don’t give the natives liq- uor. They'll only want more and when your supply runs out you'll have trouble. 6.
