Will Washington get the giraffe

That is the question agitating the
children of the National Capital to-

ment of jungle folk is due next month
Officials of the National Geological
Park firmly believe there is giraffe
on board the ark" but have little
hope that the local zoo will be able
to get it, as the animals are destined
for the Bronx's animal land. Wash
ington will get only such animals as
are duplicates.
The local zoo never has boosted
the possession of a. giraffe. There has
been no quotation on giraffes for sew

class one would range between
$1,000 and $4,000, it is believed.
