GET AROUND ANTITRUST Law.


Chairman d. w. Williams of the
legislative food probe committee said
letters reviewed by him indicated that
many of the big concerns dealing in
foods attempt to evade the operations
of the Valentine antitrust law by ap-
pointing wholesalers and retailers as
their agents to dispose of their prod
ucts. Senator Williams said the sys-
tenn enables manufacturers to dictate
both wholesale and retail prices and
prevents retailers buying direct from
manufacturers, thereby injecting an
extra middleman in all cases. If the
food probers find this it not law
violation they will introduce bills to
prohibit and also seek to end the al
legged djctation of prices.

Believes Monkeys Do Not Know Much


The professor is satisfied that the
monkeys have no memory of things
in the sense that they are able to call
up a picture. place, person or thing.
There "a no question that they are
able to recall having seen a person
when that person stands before them.
In other words, they are the equal of
any of the domestic animals ia that
respect.
He can not even subscribe to the
Darwin belief that they have magma
ton, such as Darwin thought dogs
have because of the evidence before
him that dogs dream in much the
same way that human beings do.
Professor Shepherd did not enter
upon the experiments with a view to
establishing a theory or to disprove
theory advanced by another. but
simply to find out for himself the
mental capacity or want of capacity
of the lumenoids available for his ex-
detrimental work. The professor is
convinced that when monkey
scratches his head, very much as a
man does when he is perplexed, it is
no evidence of thought on the part of
the monkey. His idea is that it is a
purely physiological phenomenon, per-
| haps due to the similarity of construc-
ton of man and a monkey.
Another thing the professor feels
warranted in saying is that the mon
key is not any more initiative than
many other animals. He shows that
monkeys that have had merry 60
round in their cages, that revolves
when they jump on it. will continue to
| jump on a contrivance of that kind
| that is fastened so that it will not
revolve and continue to go through
| the motions necessary to make prop
! er merry-go-round perform its proper
! functions, just as if the first trial had
| produced results.
