New York, June 1O.-This s>to be
brief in defense of the ape. l
trust that it will come to the atten-
ton of Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. barrow and
others engaged in the monkey con-
troversy at Dayton, Tenn.
Having just returned from COney
Island ] am firm in the belief that it
is high time that humans cease ma
ligning apes by claiming common an
cestry with them.
First let US establish the mise en-
scene. 1t is blistering hot. Collars
wilt Hat bands stick to the head
The murky grease of potato chips and
waffles mingling with whiffs of cheap
perfumes and sachets and that par
ticular geological atmosphere that
hovers over a mass Of the great un-
washed.
Here there is a mulatto waving a
bejeweled hand before the face of 4.
white girl, claiming to have hypnotic
power over her while onlookers stand
with mouth agape.
There a dowager of indeterminate
age and doubtful origin being point
ed to as beautiful muscle dancer"
who will give her performance inside
the tent.
In u "fun hounse" two pigmies
slapping women with cracking boards
and shocking men with an electric
| rod, secure in the knowledge that
their size protects them from retalia-
ton, having their one grand fling at
superiority over their physical SUI
periors.
A gallery of funny mirrors, fat
persons laughing at thin reflections
of themselves and thin persons
laughing at fat reflections of them
selves.
Saltwater cowboys paying a dime
to whip horses into wild gallop
around 2O0-foot track, taking the
corners SO sharply that the steeds
can hardly keep their feet. Finally
one Of them crashes into a fence
and is knocked silly, while the horse
brainier than his rider, escapes un:
hurt.
Walking down the midway and on
the boardwalk men, women and chill
dren soldering over dripping ears of
corn, tossing the cobs under the feet
|of others. Pigs eat in one corner of
their sty and keep their food out OF
their wallow.
And now into an exhibition OF
freaks. Kookoo, the bird lady with
her hair shaved off to accentuate the
odd shape of her head. Her visitors
look upon her with commiseration
And the armless lady who writes
with her toes and the Indian who
swallows fire without feeling it and
the immense fat woman, they all arc
objects of pity to those who are civ
ing full play to their superiorit,
complexes.
And as we go out there sits a little
monkey in cage in silent and sol.

TO PREVENT HEARTBREAKS

Joseph M. Devine state commissioner of immigration,
has for had the opportunity to observe the workings
of the former system of unrestricted immigration and since
the enforcement of the present quota law has studied from
various angles.
AS result, Commissioner Devine has become firm
proponent of the registration of aliens and above all the
selection of immigrants at the point of embarkaon instead
of the port of debarkation.
Since the quota law has into effect the federal
hortes have ADVOCATED the selection of immigrants at the
other shore James Davis secretary of labor and imm
grafton has preached this up and down the land
but it stilhas to become a law.
The for immigrant selection the other side

present law Foreign countries would be glad to
operate with Washington and share the expense of main
tanning bureaus of selection since in time such
would react favoraby to them diminishing the number OF
those who returned impoverished.
The advocated by Commissioner Devine and
others close to the immigration problem should be pressed
until the federal government is stirred into action.

The Twins laughed. 1--WE don't
care" they cried. "We can pretend
it's true, can't we?"
Certainly" said Mi o. Mi, jingling
his bells. "Well, once upon time
there was a queer state of affairs in
the world. Men were all like fairies
and no matter what they wished, it
happened at once.
If man wished "a house built he
merely commanded the logs and the
stones and the hammer and the nails
to do his bidding, and in no time at
all the house was up.
IF he wished to 60 riding, he COM
manded his mare to hitch herself up
to the cart, and as quickly as l am
telling it, the bride and reins fell
into place upon the mares back, the
whip settled into its groove, the
wheels turned around, and the whole
outfit was ready to take him on a
journey.
"If the farmers wife wished for a
new Dress" went on Mi O. Mi, -"the
scissors hoped out to the sheep pen
and sheared eve of all it's fleecy

through the window, the spinning
wheel began to turn and spun the
wool on the distaff into fine thread
"Then the thread hoped off the
spool into vat of red dye and was
off to the weavers, where it threaded
itself into a shuttle and raced back
and forth, in and out, on big loom
until piece Of fine cloth was woven.
after that the cloth walked itself
off to draper's and laid itself on a
table and was cut out by willing scis-
sors and sewed by crafty thread until

of sugar, three times that of tobacco.
Wool produced yearly in this
country is worth only one-twelfth as
much, as are the eggs and poultry,
while all of the fruit of the country
is worth just one-half as much as
the poultry products.
All the gold and silver mined
throughout the verdi in one year
does no more than equal the value
of the eggs and poultry produced an
nually in the United States alone
In 1923 the value of poultry and
eggs in the United States was $l,047,-
100000. This was worth three hun
dred thousand dollars more than the
wheat crop in that year. In 1924
poultry and egg value increased to
the high point Of $1,225 100000.
Increasing population in this coun-
try and the world as whole is
largely responsible for the fast grow
ing demand for poultry products,
Mr.. Barton says. Especially is there
good demand for market eggs. and
poultry of good quality. Bettef
quality products, better feed, man
agement and marketing will result
in higher prices, he declares.
North Dakota poultry flocks are
constantly showing increased value,
egg production records increasing
and birds in the flocks showing bet
ter and more uniform quality.

SHRINKING FROM FAME
New York Times)

Our melodious old friend Lieut..
Commander John P:ilip Sousa has
sueL a tobacco company for dam
ages alleged to have resulted from
violation of his rights under the
Civil Rights law by causing his
name and picture to he published
| in advertisements of certain cigars.
or the legal aspects OF the case
| there is nothing to be said; but it
is hard to understand why the
plaintiff, even if annoyed by the
! harmless teerS OF HIS friends,
SHOULD be particularly incensed
because, in addition to using ais
name and picture without his per
mission, the defendant had used it
to advertise cigars at five for 10
cents" The price OF the cigar
has NO necessary relation to its
merit There was time when
some of our purplest plutocrats
| were proud of smoking Pittsburgh
stogies at a cent apiece. III Mr..
Coolidge, as Il moderate, contents
himself with q ten-center, there is
no reason why other disciples OF
economy shOui.dnt cut u good deal
more their bills for this same
filthy roguish tobacco; am there
are persons Of good moral character
who thrive on ten-for-a-Quarter.
A few years ago one used to see
in the windows Of certain obscure
| tObaccOnistS a curious tribute" to
a then lately departed literary
glory The effigy of Henry James
on a box of tive-centers was mex
pressibly gratifying to Jacobites
| with sense of humOr. This was
,pOsthumous honor, however, and
trespassed on no right of privacy.
IL such right can he established
in an age devoted to self-exhibi-
ton. Mr.. Sousa has escaped, so
far, distinction which has fallen
on many poets and statesmen and
other illustrious men. No brand OF.
cigars bears his name. This may
come to him later; or some inven-
ton Of his own or CT others may
give his name, eminent for other
reasons, a collateral perpetuation.
Mr.. Roosevelt dirt object to that
teddy bear" whose symbolism
tickled the malefao tors OF great
| wealth Washington had his pie,
Wellington his boots. A budget is
a bag; and Mr.. GladstOne's tri-
umphs as Chancellor of the Elk
chequer are thus appropriately
:. commemOrated.
In the days of paper collars,
Shakespeare and Byron were On
many necks: A different but last-
ing glory is that of making ones
name a common word in the lang
uage. Who would remember
certain Earl Spencer and a certain
Earl of SanL'yich had not "the one
invetned half coat, the other .C:alf
a. dinner? What Earl OF Chester
field survives in his overcoat?
Bowie, derringer, maxim, s'hrapnei
are remembrances CT as many prop
err names. The phi.ologer never
sees a derrick without remember
ing the London hangman whose
name is kept fresh. The whittier
of tobacco who runs across "nico-
tine" and "nicotian" will have
kindly thought of Jean Nicot, who,
as Ambassador OF Henri ii at Lis
bon in 1859, sent some tobacco
plants TO the Cardinal of Lorraine
and Catherine de Medicis, insist
ing, as all judicious souls still in
sist, on the medical, in motern
language the antiseptic, virtues OF
the mother of contentment, the
, nurse of dreams, the faithful com
paniOn.
