1. The camel scorns the rival form of transport: This photograph was taken during a journey made by Dr. Minshall across the Sahara in a three-wheeled car. : Bird Man of Nigeria: A knowledge of camoutlage is the chief requisite of this hunter. Using his headpiece to mimic bird movements, he stalks his prey and when close enough shoots it with a bow and _ poisoned arrow. A warrior of the Tuaregs, who are known as "the People of the Veil." Only the men go veiled in this feudal tribe, who were subdued by the French this century. The hypothetical suggestion is that they are of Crusader origin, a theory supported by their use of a cruci-form-handled sword, the visorlike appearance of the veil, and the sign of the cross on their shields, saddles, and sandals. A glance at Algiers: This is the title of a talk by Dr. Minshall from 2YA next Tuesday morning. Something that can happen to ariybody who travels by car in the desert. .One of Dr. Minshall’s talks will deal with a day’s journey in the desert, with reference to the preparations which would have to be made, and the difficulties to be prepared against by, say, a tank commander in this theatre of operations.
