Never in"that pant of the Congo do you see hoses, ox or other beast of burden. The natives have no wheeled vehicles'. Almost nude wo- men, some truly stunning ebony beau- ties, carrying babies on their hips and 'bunches of bananas on their beads, scamper off the road as you pass, and dive into the brush if you try tip take a picture. Grim, thin black 'men, canning spears, leap in- to the forest when your driver toots his horn. Toward evening, in the open country, a lion may venture in- to nto the road, and your driver stops un- til the animal looks you over and moves erne. You don't drive at night; too many elephants on the road. They dent your fenders. On the way to Putnam's we pass- ed the ruins of Henry M. Weenley's Font Bodo; not far away was his "Starvation Camp," where white mune were bontured and eaten by the fa- thers and grandfathers of the natio we now saw 'dancing to witclh doc- torsr drums.

You dine often on 'antelope meat and, if you insist, on fried white. -ants, wCxredt tbast'e like ralmonds, Putnam says. Mrs. Putnam provides pawpaws and fried plantain and palm salads, and fish from the river. When you tire of native food you get good things out of cans, such as sausrages and shrimp.

When some- one in a village dies mysteriously, the witch doctor, with ghoulisb, incan- tations, picks out the one 'olio, he says, caused trhte catastrophe. Once they would kill and eat the witch. Now they drive him out of the vil- lage. No other village wir11 take these outcasts in. So that's how Putnam gets them. Putnam's address is "Epulu, via Stan'leyvrilie." Stanleyville, on the Congo River, 285 mikes west, is the shopping center, and the mail truck Domes from there once a week. The nearest railroad to the sea is 550 miles away. There ris nothing at Epulu but the camp, a mile back from the road, and a ferry, poled by na- tives, which carries cars on five can- oes lashed together with boards on top. Putnam has mo radio and doesn't want one. He 'hens no picture pos't- Candes for scale. When newspapers ar- ri'v'e they are a month old. There is no telephone. Telegrams come out with •the weekly mail. No radio program could be so thrit- lineg as the taut of .the Di's'trict Com- missioner beside 'the oa'm.pfire one night. He told us about the leopard - men, bands -orf asins who 'work for any native who events 10 take justice into his own hands. 'The leop- ard -men carry a bunch of spikes in each fist and tear their victim's throat so it looks as' if a leopard had done the job. The Commissioner hanged 34 leopardmen for 90 mur- ders in that pant of the Congo a year or so ago and has them under con- trol now. But he weesen^t sure they wouldn't break out again any min- ute. Putnam hag lived in the Ituri For- est for ten years and speaks the na- tive language perfectly. His most re- markable fr4eneddbips `have been form- ed with the pygmies, who are densest in that part of ,the Congo. These lit- tle people, four ,to four and once -half feet tai'1, in .an allmost constant state of being soared to death, probably have less contact with whites than any other nape in tire world. For $12 a day, to pay for their food, Putnam brings 50 to 75 pyegmy men, women a.ns children to Live at the edge of the forest, 200 yards from your goesrthouese. Ai easily as though ysou were walking from the 18th hole to ,the locker roam, you join them and lease more about these wild peo- ple than you know about your next- door n•eighbaxe at home. They build their huts, invite you to crawl into them, gather wild homey in 'tire tops Of trees 100 feet high', ,savoot passing monkeys with poisoned arrows. Feer additional bribes of chickens and 'cloth, hundreds will come to work for a movie director like the best troupers in Hollywood.,eIn a re- cent picture of adventure"iii Darkest Africa, the narrator says, "And then stealthily we approeached the myster- ious land of the pygmies, dotted, with bones of white men who have brav- ed 'their poisoned arrows,. Hidden from these tiny monsters, we p'hota- gra thed them at work and at play. Had they discovered us, our lives would have paid the penalty." Like almost alt good pygmy shots, those well•'rehearsed scenes wene made at Putnam's. Putnam first visited the Congo in 1928 and liked) it so well that he de- cided' to make it his home. He join- ed the Belgian Red Cross, took a course len topical medicine in, Brus- sels, and returned as a sanitary ag- ent to treat those diseases the na- tives couldn't one with witch doctors and wild [herb's. With heeeadquatrters in a hut on a riverbank, 60 miles fnom the nearest white man, be •gave injections for syphilis axed yaws, bathed ulcers and banded out quinine. He fed and clothed! the natives and helped them In their troubles with the government. News spread through the forest that Putnam was tihdir friend.

Or he will take ylou to visit a. chief :with 300 wives. As we 'drove through one village the head mean 'came to our carr dreseed in a white skirt and a stylish broadcloth dinner -coat. It bore the label of a fashionable New York firm. At another time, swinging around a bend in the dirt road •through- theforest, we 'suddenly came into a ciearitiPg, where a ceremony was go- ing en. Ira front of a scare of mud huts were sitting several 'hundred al- most unclo'thedl men, women and children, the dread men, fon'dlin'g their spears, in old folding canvas' obai rn. Not 15 feet from the ear was the old witch doctor, a bright red cloth ct- rountd his loins and brilliant +feathers on his heads. Sitting in the oar, I shot a pl•oture. I was so excited by the serene I didn't realize what a foolhardy act it was. Men Java been killed in the Congo for doing that, There wa81 a eslighet, sudden move- ment throughout the village.
