MONKEY is ONLY
PERFECT HUSBAND

LONDON, June 17.-Man, after his
descent from the monkeys, must CLIMB
back up again before he can be the
perfect husband.
DR.. Bernard Hollander, noted British
psyche ho-analyist, in taking this view,
agreed heartily with New York physic-
ians and the world s divorce courts
that the ordinary man not only can,
but does love two women at the same
time.
"When we can love like the
monkeys, we shall be nearer the per-
feet monogamy, DR.. Hollander said.
Man constituted as he is now can
and does love more than one woman
simultaneously.
"We have much to learn from the
lower orders of the nature of perfect
monogamy. Among anthropoid apes,
for example, you have an almost per-
feet example of the single attachment
of male and female.
