CAN ANIMALS TALK?
NEW EVIDENCE FOUND

Can monkeys and other animals
talk? The old question was revived
by an interesting incident during the
filming of Miracles of the Jungle,
the sensational ederated animal pro-
ductiOn which will be shown at the
Kenworthy Theatre on Wednesday.
One of the hupe apes in the picture
escaped during the shooting" of film,
and went to the very top of lofty
palm tree. No amount Of coax1ng
could get him down until one of the
African natices who took part In the
chapter play, started queer jabber-
ing conversation with the monkey,
which the animal replied with spirit.
Whether actual words of kind
were spoken, or not, the native re-
fused to say, but after a little of this
strange intercourse, the simian slid
down, bit reluctantly, from his
perch, to a position where he could
be caught by the eye Of the camera.
During another scene, while lion
was about to attack a man, native
uttered peculiar cultural sounds, not
much above spoken word. The
signal stopped the king Of beasts in
his track, he looked as amazed and
surprised as lion possibly could,
stood still for a moment, then wheel
I'd, and dashed off into the jungle.

SAYS WHEAT DISTRICT THE BEST

j. P. Duke, state supervisor of
banking in the state Of Washington,
in an address made Saturday before
the chamber of commerce at Palouse,
stated that conditions are better in
the Inland Empire wheat district
than in any other part of the west,
or, in all probability, in any part of
the United States. To use his words:
1.-THE Palouse country was not
scratched, comparatively speaking,
by the deflation of top-heavy values,
which has now practically been ac
complished" While, when the slump
in the price of farm and orchard pro-
ducts struck the country the demand
for some products was almost en-
tirely wiped out, there was still
demand for the product of the Pa
louise wheat fields, although at great
1y reduced price. In face, the price,
while far below the cost of produc-
ton last year, remained above the
normal pre-war price. With other
products, in some cases, the price was
the lowest in the history Of the coun-
try. AS a result the wheat belt is
not as rich as had been anticipated,
but is still on a sound financial basis,
with good Roadway being made in
liquidation and with all banks on a
solid footing"
Mr. Duke recently returned from
San Francisco, where he was in con-
sultation with leading financial men
of the west, and gives it as his opin-
ion that the country is past the worst !,
in the readjustment period, and that |
there will now be a steady, but pos
sibly slow, improvement. He liken-
ed the country to the case of man
with typhoid, who had passed the
crisis, but must still be mighty care
full. He had been absent from the
country for some six months,
and was enthusiastic over the condi-

With close to $4,000 claims for sol
diers bonus either passed for pay
ment or ready for final action in the
state of Washington, the outstanding
feature of the states effort to give
it's veterans extra compensation is
that only five men, two in King cOun-
ty and one each in Yakima, OkanOg-
an and Clarke, have made such a
palpable effort to sdefraud the state
that officials have found it necessary
to prosecute them.
There have been innumerable dis
putes and misunderstanding to
straighten out but downright fraud
has been so rare as to be regarded
as negligible. Men who served IN
the spruce division all or part Of
their time found it hard to compute
and subtract from their claims the
amount .of extra pay drawn in the

our people would be pleased if we
were member on terms such as the
league seems willing to agree to. We
are out because we would not join
what was documented as a general
alliance, whereas if we go into an
alliance we would pick our asso-
ciates and limit our promises.
In practice, of course, the league
is not an alliance, for it has no
power, but until its constitution con-
forms to the facts our people, with
their tendency toward legalism
doubt the good of going through
the farce of signing pledges that are
meaningless. The conference should
be more effective than the league,
for not only does it strike at the
heart of the peace problem, but it is
confined to the five nations in which
mankind can repose faith and which
at the same time possess power to
enforce their judgments.

Educated Lawyers
Lack of Breadth and Culture Is
Often a Handicap

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l noticed in your columns Of
this morning letter from gentle
man in Jersey City which sought
to condemn the action of the Bar
Association in its recommendation
that two years Of college work be
added to the prerequisites for legal
career While I deem long answer
unnecessary, attention should be
called to the two lines of thought
which permeate his letter and are also
commonly expressed at large, the re-
suit of which has flooded the legal
profession with immature and incom-
petent members. These ideas are "a
that higher education, with its accom-
panying culture and broadening in
fiuences, is unnecessary, and that (2)
there have been many great men, self
made and unlettered, who have made
good without cholastic training. Both
of these statements are undoubtedly
true. More training than the mini
mum, while not absolutely necessary,
is highly desirable The present
policy of minimum requirements, max
ing it as easy as possible to become
lawyer, has allowed thousands of
young men with meager intellectual
and legal equipment to study law as
a side show and by means of a cram
or a quiz course pass the bar exami-
nations. This process of dumping"
vast quantities of material, without
regard to quality, upon the legal pro-
fession has had the natural result OF
lowering the general tone and repute
of the bar, and has also caused the
coming of new term, 1.-THE. law
business"
NO ambitious young man is de-
tered by strict requirements, as all
leading colleges lend financial aid to
worthy students. If a man is not will
ing to devote the time competently
to prepare himself for his chosen pro-
tession and to bring to that profess
sion something more than his pres
ence, the loss of that man as law
syer is the public's gain. A lawyer
should be n counselor and leader of
his community and not merely an
other business man.
The fact that many of our leading
lawyers are not college men is not
surprising, since in their younger days
higher education was viewed with sus
picion and was not open to all as it
is to-day. We have found that in
many things what was good enough
for our forebears is not good enough
for us, so why not apply this discov-
cry to the administration of law and
justice? JOHN w. STRAHAN

tend, however, beyond eighteen

lie Health Service has held on to it.,
on the technical pretext that the war
isn't yet officially at an end.
The trustees feel that their gen
crosby has been abused. They want
to resume their relief and educa-
tional work. The Polytechnic Hos
pital, an old and distinguished medi-
cal institution, has suffered tinan-
cially from government occupation,
because the rental paid by the Public
Health Service is small and income
from endowments for specific pur-
poses has been suspended. Other
quarters could be found for the Pub
lie Health Service. The board has
appealed to Washington to have the
lease terminated. The Polytechnic is
entitled to relief, in its own interest
and in the interest of the civilian
population here which it has lon,s
zealously served.
