Martin, director of the Australian 1 Institute of Industrial _ Psychology, had put him through his paces. Dr Martin submitted a table of colors, in his own language Toto named them to his publicity agent. He also distinguished the prettier face among three pencil sketches.

But the instincts ,of the Congan jungle move swift in the blood of Toto Umtene—the black magic in Iris eyes is. filled with the light of a merry laugh.
