monkey DRUNK
THREE TIMES
A WEEK
Public Health Service Tries
Experiment TO Find Cure
for Human Souses.
By WILLIAM PICKETT HELM.

/ BY WILLIAM PICKETT HELM.
This is the way a monkey looks
when he has a couple Of shots Of
good rye whiskey under his belt.
"Jimmod is his name and he is
owned by the United States govern
ment. The government gets him
drunk three times q week.
"Jimmo" is shown as he looks
when he is SOLDERING up. The spe-
cialists Of the United States Public
Health Service at Washington have
put "Jimmo" in the hygienic lab
oratory for the purpose Of making
q drunkard of him and then curing
him. They want to find out how q
drunkard can best be cured
whether it is better to taper off
or quit cold-and in lieu Of a
human being upon whom to expert
ment are conducting their tests on
"Jimmo."
AffabIe When Drunk.
"Jimmo" drunk is a much more
affable monkey than :'Jimmo" sober
When sober he's mean: when drunk
he frisks and scampers about and
grins at the privileged few allowed
to approach his cage. The liquor
given him is carefully measured
and of absolute purity.
He has been on the way to be-
come a drunkard for about three
weeks now. When the habit is
fully confirmed and he qualities as
full-fledged topper, the doctors Of
the Public Health Service will be.
gin their experiments as to getting
him sober.
Can Hold a Lot.
They intend to try both systems
--tapering off and quitting cold.
Whichever seems to be the better
way will be followed until "Jimnno"
becomes once more a self-respecting,
sober animal. Then, completely
cured, he will be allowed to live
the normal life of a monkey again.
Now, however, he is causing the
doctors some apprehension over the
amount of liquor he can consume.
He takes it greedily and sobers up
so quickly that 1t seems almost i'm
possible to keep him drunk.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-British Of
ficials expressed hope today that
the United States will accept the
invitation Of the lnter-Allied
Reparations Commission to Join the
two committees which investigate
Germany's capacity for PREPARATIONS
payments. In some quarters belief
was expressed that the inquiry will
prove Unsuccessful unless the
United States takes part.
Hope ln Hughes Speech.
Despite news from Washington
that the United States will not send
delegates to the reparations com
mittees, officials are hopeful that
the Washington Government will
have representation. Secretary of
State Hughes speech at Phiiadel-
phia was interpreted in a most fa-
yorable light both in London and
Paris.
It il not expected that a formal
invitation will be sent to Wash.
ington, but a ''suggestion' of
American representation will be
forwarded through Col. John A,
Logan, American member of the
reparations commission.
Sir John Bradbury, British repre.
sentative upon the reparations com.
mission (who is now in Paris. was
quoted as saying that the presence
Of Americans upon the committees
was essential If their work was to
be successful.
France has united with Great
Britain in emphasizing the import.
ance OF American cooperation.
