English GOUernor Who
Served Colonies Well

King Georges war, the bloody
period Of 1744-4S, Is an important his
torical link, says Hugh Pendexter, In
Adventure Magazine.
In New England the war was com
monty called "Shirley's War" because
of the leading role played by Massa-
chusetts' governor. He was one Of
the very few popular English gov
ernors in America. His father was
London merchant. Instead of going
into trade he became a lawyer, To-
Gated In London, and was familiar
with the intrigues of the court OF
George IL He came to America In,
1871 and became governor of Massa-
chusetts in 1741. Previous to his APP
pointment he served as surveyor Of
the kings woods, and was quick to
understand the value Of our forests
and especially the Importance of re-
serving the choice pines for "mast-
ing the royal navy. This work also
gave him an extensive knowledge of
the geography and resources Of New
England.
For fifteen years he was royal
governor and military commander in
America, and almost constantly en-
gagged in fighting the French and their
Indian allies. He was one Of the
first, If not the first, royal governors
to discern the supreme Importance
of the crowns contributing to the
Colonial welfare If Colonial loyalty
was to continue. Aside from the milf
tary rule he played during the old
wars, he carried through many civic
reforms. Chief among the latter was
establishing Massachusetts, on a
specie basis, that colony being bank
rupt when he took Office as governor.
He succeeded In securing compensa-
ton for the colony's expenses in King
Georges war, and was successful in
insisting the coin received should be
used to redeem Colonial paper. When
assuming office the relative values
of silver and paper were four to one.
He received no aid from the crown
that his efforts deserved. There was
no Pitt to speak for him and the
Colonies at court. He endeayored to
end the jealousies of the Colonies
and unite them for mutual defense
and self-improvement. In this he was
largely baked by the quarreling of
Newcastle and Bedford, neither of
whom gave any evidence of being well
acquainted with. or interested in the
needs of the Colonies.

Powerful Indian Chief

Pontiac was an Indian chief born In
Ohio about 1920. He was head of the
Ottawa tribe, and led his own and
the tribes of the Ojibway and Pota-
watomie Indians against Braddock In
1855. He determined to exterminate
the white settlers encroaching in his
domain, and organized the greatest
confederacy Of savage peoples ever
known. Practically every Indian tribe
in the Mississippi valley was drawn
into it. He attacked in 1853, took
eight Notifications and massacred sew
eral hundred soldiers and settlers.
His siege OF Detroit failed, and he
signed treaty of peace there In 1865.
He was murdered at Cahokia, ILL.,, by
q Kaskaskia Indian in 1859, and in
revenge the Ottawa tribe all but ex-
terminated the tribes OF Illinois. Kan

GORILLA CALLED
WISEST OF APES
Intellectually Easily Leader
of the Species.

OF all the man-like apes which have
been studied by psychologists, the
gorilla probably is the leader intellec
tually This is indicated by a series
Of tests recently completed on a
young female gorilla by DR. Robert
M. Yerkes, professor of psychology
at Yale university.
Doctor Yerkes recently returned
from Jacksonville, Fla, where he
spent six weeks testing the animal,
which belongs to Benjamin Burbridge.
Mr.. Burbridge. an experienced hunter,
captured the gorilla single handed
in the forests of the Belgian Congo.
On his last trip to Africa he caught
four, but two died In Africa; one,
which was taken to Belgium, has
since died, and the other is Congo. the
one that was studied by Doctor
Yerkes. Probably it is the only exam
pie of It's species, the mountain gorilla,
that has ever been brought to the
United States.
The chimpanzee, the most familiar
anthropoid ape, has been the subject
Of many psychological inquiries. The
Yale institute Of psychology has sew

conducted, but, on account Of the
scarcity Of specimens, the gorilla has

zones first impression Is that the
chimpanzee is the more intelligent"
said Doctor Yerkes, .sbut that is prob
ably due to the temperamental differ
ences of the two animals. The Chin
panzee is the more emotional and Inn
pulsive; the gorilla Is the more delib-
crate, and worked calmly and with
better judgment, and should expect
that the gorilla would go further in
the long run. was able to work with
Congo for hours at time, and she
stuck to her tasks. A chimpanzee by
comparison tires quickly"
The animal weighs about sixtyvfiv0
pounds, Doctor Yerkes stated. and Is
perhaps FIVE years old. Although their
average span Of life liz not certainly
known, they probably attain the age
of thirty or forty years. Congo dis
plays great strength, for when she
tugged at me / felt as If something
would break" he said. When tested
with a spring balance, she pulled 100
pounds. which, considering relative
weight, would be equivalent to pull

Despite this. however, the animal is
quite gentle, In Doctor Yerkes' opin-
ion, for. he said, ''she doesn't realize

Firm in His Convictions

The late Frederic Harrison, the emf

letters, remained steadfast In his
rationalism until his death, as is evil

his son, Mr.. Austin Harrison: when
my brother was wounded in the early
part of the war and lay dying In q

he was then eighty-fouF, insisted upon
going to his bedside, and sat with him

Many color Standards

In making certain cOlored fabrics
like rugs, tapestries and similar mate
rails, It u necessary to have large
number OF color standards and In the
rug industry some mills have as high
as 5000 standards from which they
work. The men in charge of the col
ors and dyes are artists as well as
craftsmen, and they have to have al
most infinite patience in working with
the anilins dyes used in getting the
color values for each job. A few

May Thr0sO Light on
"Afric0n Golf" Come

Scientists who have been excavat-
ing ancient ruins In Algeria have
made curious discovery. Among the
relies unearthed is a bit Of stone,
spotted and striped with red ocher.
The Psychologists are undecided
whether the painted pebble is print
tive form of writing used in the transit
tional period between the old and the
new Stone age or whether 1t is one
Of pair of dice
Should an examination of the relic
prove that the stone is one-half Of q
pair Of mississippi dominoes" It win
prove that the dice game so dear to
the heart Of the African race had an
ancient origin.
The scientists who were sent out by
Beloit college are somewhat puzzled
by this particular relic. They are
unable to decipher the writing or the
characters on the stone, and, having
little or no experience with dice games,
they are at loss what to do.
1t would be presumptuous, perhaps,
to suggest mode of procedure for
such learned men, but the thought oc-
ours naturally that they should sub
NIT the find to persons who have
handled dice. If it should be found
that african golf was played in
the Stone age, the fondness OF the
African race for that particular game
could be explained. 1t cannot be
doubted that the American negro takes
to the game played with two dice
easily and naturally Perhaps, aft
er all. he is merely displaying
primeval impulse. Let somebody de-
eide the question who has rolled dice.
Clearly it is situation which calls
for technical knowledge and not for
book learning Seattle Times

Rude Joke

A middle-aged bachelor, who has
wide acquaintance In the theatrical
profession, was at lunch recently with
an old friend, ventriIoquist, who was

appearing on the same bill, to join
them. Suddenly, to the surprise of the

eStop holding my hand" Again, on

College Degrees

The degree, an academic rank or

an analogous nature seem to have ex-
listed in ancient times. In the latter
part Of the classical Greek period
education was well organized into In
ferior and superior courses and there
evidently existed some recognized
proof that such courses had been COM
pleted. The degree as university

The production of synthetic cam

Records ShouD 1t Was Prnc.
ticed Centuries Ago.

The ancients have q way of boDDlng
up from their graves and presenting
their claims to have originated some
supposedly modern method or inven-
ton. The comparatively new method
of introducing some drugs directly
into the blood stream by injection or
even the principle of blood transfu-
sion, for that matter, had their origin
far back, centuries before even the
most advanced scientist suspected the
existence Of the circulation of the
blood.
Those were the days of hopes, when
men dreamed of the wonders of things
to come, according to DIR. w. F. Dut-
ton, former chief of the Polytechnic
hospital, Philadelphia.
TRANSMISSION of blood and the idea
OF injecting drugs directly into the
veins" said Doctor Dutton, "had their
scientific origin in the Seventeenth
century But for many hundreds OF
years before that the idea Of transfer
ring blood from human being or ami
NAL to the veins Of a human suffering

Of those who carried on the medical
tradition.
