NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 19.-Unless

1t is the general opinion among the

two to whip the crew around in shape
so that it can hold it's own with Har-

direction that all the experiments are
being made.
Before the baby ape drew his first
breath of life in the laboratory nearly
two months ago his parents had been
watched for months. They were intel
ligent apes. and were naturally pre-
sumed to be the proper parents of a
probably more intelligent offspring. But
HE baby is being trained in human
ways and soon, when it is feasible
to take him from the care of his moth

If it is found that the babe can be
taught to do things humanlike, every
effort will be put forth to develop his
mind along lines that will fairly test
his mental capacity to assimilate hu-
man knowledge.
