BABE, ARE YOU MAN OR APE?
Scientists Watch Developments of
the Monkey.

Baltimore, Sept, lion Babe, a
cute little monkey that grimaces at
visitors at the Biological Laboratory
of the Johns Hopkins University,
rests the responsibility for determin-
ing whether his race is, or is not, re-
lated to the human tribe.
There has hardly been an hour
since he came into this world several
weeks ago that he has not been un-
der the close surveillance of learned
scientists. In the effort to forge
Babe into the missing link between
the ape and man, DR.. John E. Wat
son, director of the psychological lab
oratory, is the moving spirit, and it
is under his direction that all the ex-
periments are being made.
Before Babe drew his first breath
of life in the laboratory his parents
had been watched for months. They
were intelligent apes and were nat
urally presumed to be the proper par
ents of a probably more than usually
intelligent offspring.
But Babe is being trained in hu-
man ways, and presently, when it is
feasible to take him from the care of
his mother, it is planned to make his
schooling still more elaborate. If
it is found that he can be taught to
do things human-like, every effort
will be made to develop his mind
along lines that will fairly tax his
mental capacity to assimilate human
knowledge.

He Couldn't Catchee.

A young American tourist in the
Far East was delighted when his
steamer touched at Hong Kong to
see a Chinese woman in the costume
of the country, silk trousers and all,
come on board the ship. She was
the first Chinese woman he had seen
in the native dress, and, rushing be-
low, he got his camera, determined
to take a picture. Advancing to
within a few feet of the little wo-
man, he leveled his camera at her
and began exclaiming loudly in anna
teur "pidgin" English:
Me take picture. Can catchee?
Can catcher"
The Chinese woman looked at him
in deep disgust and said in perfect
English:
"You can catchee, but you may
not" and, turning, she walked away,

HAWAII DEMANDS
AMERICAN CARS

San Francisco Chronicle. The
great amount of attention being paid
to the automobile export business this
year lends particular interest to the
Hawaiian field" said Manager A. S.
Holden Of the local Stearns branch
yesterday. Americans are apt to
think of the Hawaiian islands as be-
ing a great distance away, and yet the
islands and this country are not sepa-
rated by such a great distance after
all
American manufacturers have OF
late been finding a very fertile market
in Honolulu and other cities in the
islands In past years European cars
have held much of the attention of the
Hawaiian public, but the pendulum is
now swinging the other way. No doubt
the standing of the European cars has
had much to do with the selection OF
the American machines, and it is quite
probable that the strides made in
Europe by the Silent Knight type
motor largely influenced the selection
of the Stearns-Knight by one of the
largest automobile dealers in Hawaii
Several Stearns-Knight cars have
been shipped to the islands during thu

it is to drop bombs while his COM
