Porter VIII Get More Birds and
Small Animals.
Children of City VIII Help To
Select Them.
YOUNGSTERS ARE INTERESTED
Clay School Pupils Visited
Gage Park Friday.
Caretaker Instructed To Answer
All Their Questions.

The zoo at Gage park is to be en-
larged by the addition of some birds
and small animals. according to w. L..
Porter, park commissioner. Porter
plans to spend $3.50 or SITS soon on
the animal collection. The children
of the city are to be given an oppor-
tunity to express their preference as
to the kind of animals to be purchased
by means of a plan suggested by Com
missioner Porter.
Recently a little school girl, Rather
inc KENYON, of the third grade at
Clay school, wrote to Porter, asking
him for some information about the
animals at Gage park; how they were
obtained, etc. She wrote that she
and some other children were plan
ming an exhibit which was to be some
thing like a circus and they needed
information about show animals.
Porter Explained Details.
In his reply to the letter, Porter ex-
planned something of the methods of
maintaining the zoo, the cost OF AMI
mails and ways of obtaining them. He
suggested also that Katherine and her
classmates visit the park, where he
would have them met by the animal
caretaker, Clark Campbell. who would
show them the animals and answer
any questions they had to ask. In ad-
dition he promised to consider sug-
eestions they might make in letters to
him in buying animals from the Horn
geological arena, Kansas City. He
expects to be in Kansas City soon to
buy some small animals and birds
| from the Horn people.
The third grade children OF Clay
school visited the park Friday after
noon at 4 o'clock. Porter expects an
expression of preferences in regard to
| the new animals by letters from the
| children, and any others who want to
| write him on the subject are invited
To do so.

TO SHIP FOODS
Lots of Business Awaits Use of
Dutch Merchantmen.
Allies Communicating Them
Will Retain Dutch Crews.

Washington, March 16.-The mil
lion tons of Dutch ships about to be
taken over by the United States and
Great Britain by requisition, if The
Netherlands government voluntarily
does not agree to turn them over, will
be used chiefly, officials said today,
for the transportation of foodstuffs.
Their use is expected to go far towards
relieving the danger of serious food
shortage in the allied countries.
Wheat from Argentina and meat from
the United States will be the principal
commodities moved by the ships,
many of which have lain idle while
the allied peoples have been living on
war rationS.
The shortage of wheat has been a
source of anxiety. OF meat there is
abundance and exports from this
country will be doubled when the
ships are ready. The ships will be
pooled by the allied governments. The
Dutch crews are expected to remain
with them.
