BERLIN GEOLOGICAL GARDEN
HAS MONKEY MASCOT OF U-35

BERLIN, Dec. THE newest addi-
ton to the Berlin geological garden is
a monkey which was the mascot of
the U-35 for a considerable time.
The monkey originally was the
mascot of an English merchantmen
that was halted by the German sub
marine. He made trip after trip with
the U35 and was in at the death" of
several merchantmen. His transfer to
the ZOO was ordered only when it be-
came so cold that he was likely to
suffer if exposed.

PANAMA COMMISSARIES ONLY
FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

PANAMA, Dec. IA law to abolish
privileges of purchasing at the COM
missaries of the Panama Canal, by
others than employees of the United
States Government, has been passed
by the Assembly of Panama and sign
ed by the President. 1t has not, how
ever. been published in the Official
Gazette, and will not become effective
until three days after such publica-
ton.
The presence of the commissaries,
with their advantages of no rent, no
tariff, and reduced steamship and
railroad charges has long been .
thorn in the flesh of the isthmian mer-
chants. The number of influential per-
sons who have enjoyed the privilege,
given by the President of Panama, OF
buying in the commissaries has been
an obstacle in the way of preventive
action. The restriction of the use of
the commissaries to the people con-
nected with the canal and its defensive
forces, for which the commissary sys-
tenn was intended will be quite an &C
for the Chambers of
Commerce of Colon and Panama. 1t
will remove a cause of annoyance and
distrust between the Panamanians and
and is generally regarded
ac altogether to be desired, except by
those who have enjoyed special privil-
eyes,

A Welcome Guest.

Do you happen to know the per-
son who somehow has such a hap
py knack of adapting herself to any
and every circumstance? No matter
whether she is at children's party
or a grownup's function, or merely
visitor, she is always just the per-
son you want.
Hostesses are only too glad to well
come such a person, for Immediately
upon her arrival they feel that half
their burden is taken away. Chill
dren always love her, and even those
that are shy and timid will sudden
ly come out" as soon as she starts
talking to them.
She is just as successful in the
company of grownups. The girl OF
IS will simply adore her, the woman
of mature age will think her de-
lightful, while men are no less struck
by her charming nature.
The old folks regard her as an In
dispcnsable companion, for she some
how Just manages to do what others
generally omit to do. This is be-
cause she always thinks of Others
rather than herself and her happi'
ness rests in making others happy.

FRIGHTFUL ABUSES

can And u comparison only in the de-
scription of the life of Russian con-

investigation has just disclosed de-

Two instances are cited, one where
convict was forced to work with a
broken arm, and another where a
convict suffered with heart trouble
was compelled to labor in the mines
until he dropped dead.
II was also learned thru the inves-
tigation that convicts were told they
