an hour or 50 of some tension. And
all because Il monkey, declared by
some of tn" persons who SAW him
to have been wild, lcapcd from tree
to tree and from house top to house
top, successfully cvading capture.

Authorities from the San Diego
100 were notified the monkey was
at large. \ Gagged automobile and
several 700 assistants went to the
neighborhood to help capture the
monkey but cmphaticalIv declared
it had not escaped from the 700 as
all monkeys there were accounted
for. But upon arriving they could
find no monkey.
Mrs. Graves said her attention
was first called to the presence of
the monkey by loud and agitated
cackling of her chickens. the bark
ing Of her dog and a cat, which
seeing the monkey scurried to the
house top for protection. Going
into the backyard, Mrs. Graves said
she saw the monkey, which appear
ed to stand ~, feet tail, but that
when she threatened him with Il
stick he lcaped into tree and later
to the house top, routing the cat
that had taken refuge there
The monkey also is said to have
paid visit to the garden of +.
Hcllsing. 2625 r. street. There the
simian pulled several onions from
the grounds and after eating Sev-
eral of them returned to the garden
Of Mrs. Graves, where he fortified
himself in avocado tree and ate
of the fruit there for more than
an hour.
Although efforts were made to
capture the monkey by residents
they proved unavailing. Mrs. Mau-
recn \. Clarke Of 1924 + street,
notified the 700 authorities to come
and help capture the beast. The po-
lice also were notified, but arrived
too late.

ments brigaded with the French
army during the World war, would
come up in the House of Representa-.

pie throughout the United States that
now is the time to write to theiI
congressman demanding that this
measure, H. R. 1894, be passed al

THE indications are," said Mr.

will be favorably reported from Com.
mittee, there will nevertheless be a
minority report opposing the bill.
Everybody interested in this bill
should write at once, mentioning il
by number, H. R. 1894. The opposi,
ton from the South will be determin,
ed and can be overcome only if col.
ored people will now act to show that
they want for their soldiers the re,

who fought valiantly and well.
