What's to be done about Gabong?
Now that the fighting king cobra has
been attended to. that's the next problem

Geological Park. Gabong, which Is the
Malay word for canoe, is also the name
OF an orang-utan. who is puzzling the
park scientists by an uncannv grasp of
mechanics which he has been putting
to destructive purposes. Gabong has the
principle of the lever at his finger tips.
He first demonstrated il by picking
up a screw driver which one of the car
penters had left in his cage, and starting
tc pry up the planlSing. Finding pleas
rre in that. he followed it UP one day
by picking up an iron bar and using it
to demolish the partition between his
own cage and that of the hamadryad
baboon, fiercest OF the monkeys, and an
enemy of his own species. He was so
far successful as to lift the sheet iron
and rip away two planks. but the ba-
boon, looking through the open space,
saw the iron bar and made no advances.
Two keepers came along just in time to
take the baboon out.
Recently he has shown even greater
cunning. There is a trapeze in his cage.

the case might be, who had no husbands

There was no law on the subject. Pre-
cedent and a vague ruling made away
back about the time Martin Van Buren
was thinking about going into politics,
governed the situation. Many beautiful
pCstmistresses languished in unwar-
ranted spinsterhood behind postoffice
screens because they couldn't decide be-
tween husband and a job. They
dreaded the unknown just like all the
rest OF us. ct will be noted here that
nothing has been said about these un-
married postmistresses failing to decide
between the mails and the males. Men

IDLENESS INCREASES

DR.. Knopf Appeals for Sale of

said DR.. $. Adolphus Knopf OF the New

The children of New York are to have
new experience to-day when one
thousand policewomen take over from

formed of traffic regulations and whis-
ties were issued for the use of their
subordinates.
In giving the officers final instructions
to be passed on TO the rank and file this
morning, Mr.. Dwyer said:
"The country will watch your success
or failure. A great responsibility rests
upon you--that of proving that woman
can do a type Of work that heretofore
has ben considered exclusively as be-
longing to man."
Mr.. Dwyer said the women showed
eagerness and enthusiasm to do the work

that he wanted the public to know that

Faenza MajoHca

Faenza is another little
Italian hill-town which has
made pottery for centuries.
But none of it has ever be-
fore reached this country.
Last summer the Chief, Au
Quatrieme, visiting it for the
first time, found every one in
the busy little place at work
making these half-crude, alto
gether lovely plates, cups and
other table pieces, working by
the primitive hand methods
which have never there been
supplanted by the more per-
feet but less individual ma
chine-turned process. Even
the children were busily put
ting the color into the de-
signs. The pottery industry
is the whole of Faenza.
A visit to the museum of
the little village revealed
some beautiful pieces of
Faenza hundreds Of years old
whose patterns were no
longer made. "Could you not
again reproduce these lovely
old patterns?" asked the
Chief, Au Quatrieme, of the
head potter. Certainly, Sig
norma, if you WISH" was his
reply. 1t was done. The
beautiful old patterns, re-
stored to us after hundreds of
years Of disuse, are now to be

And no wonder! For the
Chief, An Quatrieme, spared
no pains to secure it, cost
what it might, in long, weary
journeys over the mountains,
where no mere tourist ever
goes, to reach the little, half
forgotten age-old hill-towns
where these unusual things
are made.
