Chimpanzee is the native Guinea
name for a large ape Of equatorial
Africa, belonging to the anthropoid or
man-like monkeys, and to the same
family as the gorilla. 1t is sometimes
five feet tall when fully grown, with
black hair, but is not so large and
powerful as the gorilla. Like the
orang-utan, it has the hair on it's
forearm turned backward, but differs
from 1t in having an additional dorsal
vertebra and thirteenth pair Of ribs.
1t walks erect better than most Of the
apes. The chimpanzee feeds on fruits,
often robs the gardens of the natives,
and constructs a sort Of nest among
the branches. In menageries, where 1t
is common, it shows much intelligence
and docility.

one Of the main Industries of the
Northwest. Birds are splendidly busy
little protectors of the orchards. Love
of birds Is fine idealism for children.
So, In Seattle, the manual training
shops of the grade schools were
turned TO bird-house making, and the
product of the children during the re-
cent winter was 5000 small domiciles.
The little dwellings were made of
cedar, fir bark and tin, painted and re-
touched TO harmonic with the natural
beauty of the trees and their sur
roundings. The campaign for the at
of birds to the orchard coun-
ty has been entered into with fervor.
and an order for 1900 of the schools
bird houses came from Wenatchee and
its vicinity. Other places might imi-
tate Seattle to their own advantage.

For ten years there has been a
steady increase in the proportion of
women to men among immigrants
from all parts of Europe. Last year,
for the first time since immigration
statistics have been kept, there were
more women than men admitted to
the country. The proportion was SIG
per cent. This situation Is partially
explained by the fact that immigrants
of former years have prospered and
are now sending for their mothers.
wives and daughters to join them.
Despite the increasing number Of
women coming in there is no apparent
relief for the household help prob
lem. A trifing proportion of these
women take up domestic work Many
of them enter factories Statistics
show that of the women immigrants
few are trained for any
kind of employment. The same condi-
ton is found among the men. A
large proportion Of the immigrants are
classified under "no occupation" There
are fewer laborers coming in than at
any time in twenty years.

A recent demonstration of the prog
ress which has been made in the
adaptation of wireless receiving sets
with concealed aerials to private
motor cars was made in Windsor
Great park, England, so successfully
that it calls up wonderful vistas Of
possibilities for the future. Some so
people in feet of automobiles were
driven to the park and while there in
their closed cars heard comfortably
and clearly broadcast concert. The
apparatus was neatly fitted into the
cars and, beyond a small covered
switch-box near the seats, and the
head pieces, was completely invisible.

NEW DANCES

Complicated dances are proposed
which the public can learn only
through serious study; and one effect
Of them, it Is said, will be to reduce
the popularity Of present inane and
inartistic steps Of the Jazz" variety.
1t may be so. Dancers, like mankind
in general, abandon the customary
and reach out after the new. But the
critics of modern dancing are not
likely to believe that increased COM
plexity will be Of benefit. A real OBJ
lection to modern steps has been, in
fact, that they are so numerous and
so exotic as to require special study,
with the result that dancing has be-
come a profession rather than a pas
time. The proficient dancer has to
devote real attention not only to the
elements of the art, but to all aston
ishing variations in the steps that the
of devotees can devise.
People nowadays are sorry for the be-
nighted peasants of Europe who dance
the same dances that their great-great-
grandparents enjoyed. The life of a
modern dance step Is measured in
months instead of centuries-perhaps
because it is overworked.

FRESH-AIR CRANK

One of the worst foes to human
happiness is the fresh-air crank. l
love fresh air as much as anybody,
but l love it where it belongs-out-
doors l do not like too much of it in
the house, and l particularly hate the
mixture of in-and-outdoor air, because
the ingredients are never correctly
amalgamated. l hate wind blowing
across library table, and 1 hate a
draft down the back Of my neck. One
Of my grievances against the fresh
air crank Is that he has a positive
genius for the inopportune, writes w.
Lyon Phelps in Scribner's. Just
when am absolutely comfortable in
q warm interior on a winter day, and
can laugh from my security at the &C
cursed cold, some crank is sure to
say, Don't you think it is very close
hereY' then walk across the room
and open window on the back of my
neck, letting in the poisonous chill.
For the invariable fact is, that in
meeting or anywhere else, the fresh
air crank stealthily opens the window
on somebody else's back. He then re-
turns to his safe chair with smiles
that say 'That's better" l remember
once when this happened, friend of
mine remarked that we had been alb
Dolutely comfortable until this idiot
opened the window; as he emphati-
cally closed it, he added: 1--WE got
only one drop Of blood in my whole
body, and 1 want that to circulate"

The cost of wood may fluctuate, but
the general direction Of prices for
wood products is bound to RISE and
the movement will gain tremendous
impetus a few years hence. There is
going to be a wood famine in this
country and little can be done to pre-
vent it. We have procrastinated too
long. Much can be done, however, to
alleviate and shorten its duration.
Forest protection is one of the pro-
phylactics. Out Of S22,00O,O00 acres
of virgin forests we have 137,000,00O
left. We are cutting this remainder
at the rate Of 100000 acres yearly.
In 25 to 80 years our supply of virgin
timber will be exhausted. This hiatus
will continue until trees can be grown
In five years ended 1920 there were
100000 forest fires in the United
States, which did damage amounting
to more than $S5,OO0,000, says the
Thrift Magazine. Forest fires have
caused an annual loss of about 70
human lives, to say nothing of stock,
crops, buildings and improvements.

William Patrick Flaherty, who has a
record Of thirty years Of cab-driving
without an accident, 1t must be be-
cause he believes that accidents are
not necessary. He is not rewarding
Mr.. Flaherty for his good luck, but
for his careful driving; and If a New

cuse for the damage he sometimes
causes. Why, Flaherty not only sue
ceeded in avoiding ordinary vehicles,
but he lodged the reckless drivers as

A New York woman, charged with
obtaining $1,000 worth of goods from
a department store under false pre-
lenses, is saved from a prison term by
physicians who testify that she is a
pathological liar" To most people
this is something new under the sun
that the chronic liar may be merely
a victim of diseased mentality. Lying
is the result Of effervescent magma

or cunningly purposeful. And effer-
vescent imagination is usually an en-

there was no formal engagement be
tween the two, rumor had it that Nora
and Larry intended to marry as soon
as his profession became established
Therefore he had Nora S welfare ut
heart when he warned her regarding
her new position.
"Nora," he said, almost paternally,
"a hotel lobby is a great hangout for
wealthy idlers. Many will be glad to
exchange a dinner for a smile, the
alter ticket for a touch of your hand,
and some tawdry gift for a kiss.
Never sell your self-respect, and be
on guard"
Gall right" Nora replied laughingly,
'but there's no cause for worry, Larry.
Men like pretty girls; they|won't even
honor me with second glance"
"That's where you're wrong" ar
gued the doctor, turning poetical, you
will be as refreshing as an old-fash-
Toned melody after an evening of jazz.
You're different, Nora"
Larry was right: Nora was differ
ent. Simplicity was her keynote, and
her eyes held an honest, wistful ap-
peal.
But we all have our moments Of
weakness, and the good things in life
are very desirable. So one day when
a well-groomed gentleman asked for a
5O-cent cigar, Nora found herself re-
garding him with interest. The sale
of 50-center was a rarity even at the
Costlea.
Nora pressed on the cigar lighter as
she always did for her customers, but
there was something besides service
behind her movement. She cooked her
head in birdlike manner and puck
cred her lips in assumed pensiveness
while the man puffed contentedly.
swell, WELL" he exclaimed heartily,
you are alive, aren't you? For mo-
ment thought you were one of the
girls on the magazine covers. But you
are lovelier because you are real"
No woman can resist so flattering a
compliment, and after he had gone
Nora went to the desk for information.
''Hes a wealthy cattle owner from the
West" the clerk told her. His name
Is Brenton. Better cultivate him,
Nora"
Several evenings later, as Nora was
leaving for home, she was surprised to |
see that cold, gray fog had blown In |
from the harbor. So when Brenton's
luxurious sedan rolled up to the curb !
she was glad to accept his invitation
to ride home.
Brenton took a marvellous moleskin
wrap from the robe-rail and held 1t for
Nora to put on. How good it felt as
t caressed her throat, and what a
feeling of dignity and poise a garment
Ike that gave one? 1T fits you per-
ectly," Brenton remarked casually,
my sister and you are about the same
ize."
Nora's first taste of luxury whetted
