Meet Hattie, the elephant with a sense Of humor. Hattie
is the star attraction at Central Park, New York.
The day being hot, it occurs to Hattie that the Riddles
around her cage might like a sold shower bath. So she fills
her trunk at the drinking tank and sprays her young specta-
tors again and again.
The kids liked it. They stage a young riot.

keeper, head to foot.
A sense of humor involves high mentality.
1t makes you wonder, do animals think?" Aesop, the
Greek slave, thought so when he wrote his fables some $500
years ago.
When Poisson was a prisoner in the Bastille, he amused
himself by feeding a spider which had spun a web near
the cell window.
Poisson, being a privileged guest, had his valet with him,
The valet played a bagplpe as soon as Pelsson caught a lily
and placed it on an outer strand of the spiders web.
Soon the spider was trained to come hurrying forth at the
first sound of the music. Eventually Poisson had the spider
educated to travel across the cell and climb his knee to get
the fly.
the rudiments of reasoning. Both are intellectual powers.
You have observed the same sort of intelligence in pet dogs
and horses.
In a good many ways, ants and bees have a higher form OF
civilization than man, measuring civilization IN terms OF com
munity cooperation with delegation of work to individuals
best fitted to handle certain tasks.
Professor Hatchet Souplet, director of the French Institute
of Geological Psychology, a decade ago decided, after study
ing animals for years, that they have no reasoning powers.
His theory was that animals sometimes act inteligently
because they are susceptible to the projection OF human will
power. He even applied this theory to Herr Krall's horse,
Muhammed, which was said to be able to extract cube root,
and to Herr Mockel's dog, Rolf, which answered questions by
tapping letters of the alphabet with its paws.
Yet we've all seen dogs ''that know more than some peo-
pie"
Mar is averse to crediting animals with intelligence, be-
cause it doesn't please his vanity, basis of most OF his troubles.

Is it true that water itself Is in
t~oxicating Re. I. H..
A.-Water in excess is an intoxl-
cant. according to Science Service.
With the aid of an extract from one
of the ductless glands and also
without such assistance in controll-
ing thirst, DR.. Leonard G.. Rown-
tree of the Mayo Clinic has proved
that excessive water drinking by
either humans or animals may re-
suit in intoxication. Water intox-
ication," he says, lis hard to produce,
as nature has provided against the
accumulation of water in the body
in poisonous amounts. Through
thirst the intake of water is regulat-
ed to the body's needs. Unless the
intake is greatly in xces the out
put through the kidneys and the
skin takes care of the surplus. In
order to control the thirst, an ex-
tract from a small ductless gland at
the base of the brain was used. I'm
der the influence of this drug the
patient kept drinking water until
he developed marked headache. nau-
sea. a staggering gait, unsteadiness
of muscle and inability to stand or
walk, which lasted for a few hours.
The same process was tried with
dogs with even more striking results.
The commissions of water poisoning
are cerebral in origin and of ex-
treme violence at times, usually asst
ing from / to 10 or Is minutes"

SPANISH SWINDLERS AGAIN
BUSY IN AMERICA
Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE
Spanish swindle which in the past
has lured nobody knows how many
dollars out of gullible America, is
again being tried, this timo pre-
sumably on a larger scale.
This celebrated hoax is based on
the human weakness for easy money
and for adventure. Many peo-
pie see no reason why adventure
and great wealth should not wait
around the corner for them just as
in the movies and in magazine fic-
ton. Occasional stories in the pa
pers also tell of vast fortunes ac-
quired in odd ways.
So. when an honest American cit
izen receives a letter bearing a
Spanish postmark and addressed to
him in quaint, foreign handwriting,
he is intrigued. If he knows no
one in Spain he opens such a let
ter curiously, with all sorts of ro-
mantle possibilities buzzing through
his brain. He reads the commun-
ication, and his widest speculation
regarding it becomes suddenly tame
He learns that he has been select
ed to help noble Russian who faces
bankruptcy and is in prison. He
reads further, breathless. and learns
that "a modest fortune" of 100000
is practically within his grasp.
The noble Russian has some
where in America 10000 Ameri-
can dollars and is generously willing
to reward the person addressed with
one-third of them. if only he will
help in the recovery of the money,
The unfortunate Russians baggage
has been seized and he needs a trif-
ling sum to reclaim it and to pa'
the Registrar of the Court for the
expenses of the trial. In the port
manteau among the Russians bag
gage there ia secret pocket, he
says, and in the secret pocket he
has hidden two checks payable tc
the bearer for that sum-that Is
for the 100000.
The imprisoned man cannot re
| ceive letters in his Spanish prison
but he has a trusted friend. The
| American is requested to CABLE this
| friend, in Barcelona, who will in
| struct him how to proceed. II the
chosen b~enefactor does cable, ne
will be told to send the small sum
compared tc 100000, necessary te
the portmanteau. When M
has cabled the money he finds tha1
the noble Russian and the rustic
friend have passed quietly out O.
his life.

Clubs. Fifteen hundred women aid
ing this campaign were in cores
pondence with the Bureau. In CO.
operation with the General Fedora
ton with its more than ~2,O00,O00
members, the Bureau organized the
national observance of Baby Week
in 1916, and 2,0S3 communities re-
ported joining in this observance.
The campaign of Children's Year,
however, carried on during the Sec
ond year of the war, in cooperation
with the Women's Committee of the
Council of National Defense, was the
Bureaus largest adventure in CO.
operative effort with voluntary or
local organizations, State committees
were organized in every state but
two, and 1900 local committees in
cluded 1 1000, 900 women.
Through the Children's Bureau
the federal government has under-
taken the task of preserving n
lives of the nations mothers and
babies. Under the Sheppard-Tow-
ner act, effective this year, a fund OF
$1,240,0 900 has been provided for al
lottment among the states which
undertake seriously the conservation
of infant and maternal life. Thirty
three states have already accepted
participation in the fund and have
had their place for saving mothers
and babies approved by the federal
authorities. Each year in the Unit
ed States from 100000 to 100000
babies die in the first year of life,
and about $4,000 mothers die in
bringing children into the world. The
Children's Bureau has made extern
siye studies of the causes OF this
mortality. In various cities, women
associated with the Bureau have
taken up the problem. in a human
way, seeking real causes. These in
yestigators have reached the conclu-
sion that if all children We're we'll
born and we'll cared for mortality
among infants and mothers would be
negligible.
Care of the nation's mothers and
care for the nations newborn ba-
bies is conceded to be the real solu-
ton of the problem. 1t Is to pro-
| vide that care that the plans OF the
various states seeking to participate
in the federal funds are framed.
These plans must have the appro-
val of the federal authorities n
| the latter insist upon constructive
| and effective work. In the prosecu-
| ton and extension Of this work I'M
| der the Sheppard-Towner bill lies
the saving to the nation or many
future citizens.
