FRONTIERS FOR COLLEGE MEN

George A. Malcolm, associate justice of the Su-
preme Court of the Philippine Islands, urges Young
college men to seek opportunities "present-day
frontiers" He explains:
"By frontiers l refer to ordinary geographical
boundaries. The Philippines. Australia. Hawaii, are
frontiers where opportunities abound for college
trained men, but those opportunities go a-begging be-
cause in our changing social life, the immediate thing
every college lad must have is and he believes
curiousy enough, that he is attaining if he
gets white collar job of little worth than if he dons
overalls and learns the game from the BOTTOM
The desire for immediate success may be natural
enough, but 1t is shortsghted 1t does not allow for
building sound foundation of experience it does not
recognize the fullest meaning of Success" but is con-
tent with its superficial signs.
1t takes a courageous pioneering spirit to tackle
even presentday frontiers but anyone with faith in
young America believes that there is plenty of such
spirit left to make use of the Judges advice.

UNCLE WTGGILY AND THE
LOST ANT

Once upon time Mrs. Crawl, a
six legged ant lady, called to see
Uncle Wiggilv at the rabbit gen
tleman S hollow stump bungalow.
Mrs. Crawl came feeling her way
along the sandy, gravel path, mov
ing her six legs very fast indeed, for
she never forgot that she was nev,

Il am very glad to see YOU, Mrs.
Crawl" said l'mcte Wiggily as,
hearing faint little scratching
sound, he opened the front door.
" But who is that with YOU, asked
the rabbit gentleman as he noticed
a tiny creeper behind the ant lady.
"Oh, that is my daughter and her
name is Drop answered MIS-.
Crawl. "She has heard so much

begged me to bring her, and here
she is.

Mrs. Crawl with half laugh "It
was her fathers idea. She is so
small that he called her Dew Drop,
which, as you know, is much smaller
than a rain drop. But we call her
Drop for short.

when members of the United States
expedition into the wilds of Sumatra
| and other Indian Ocean islands return
| loaded with hundreds of specimens OF
animal and insect life of that breeding
place of weird creatures that predomi-
mated in earlier eras.
DR.. H. c. Keller. friend of DR..
William NJ. Mann. director of the Ma
tional Geological Park. has arrived at
San Francisco with great collection
destined for the local Zoo. according
to word received here today. These
will be placed on exhibition before
marveling Washington youngsters
and oldsters in the near future in
cages and pens at the park.
DIR. Mam's Further Quest.
DR.. Mann is bound for the East to
bag giraffe and other species of ami
mails TO enhance the growing col
lections at the Washington Zoo. With
the many additions being made, quar-
ters will have to be doubled soon, Off
Gals declare, or no more can be added.
Little is known what new friends
are being brought to the Zoo by DR..
Keller and others of the expedition
to Sllmatra, as no list Of their cap
lures has been received by A. b.
Baker, acting director of the Zoo.
Among them, however, are three
snakes one of them of the constructor
species, which were shipped ahead by
Dr. Keller, and which arrived at the
Zoo this morning. The constructor,
python, resembles it's big brother, the
boa, but is only about feet long. The
other two are green, non poisonous
snakes about feet long.
HOrnbill a Rarity.
The hornbill being transported
under DR.. Keller's personal care
probably will provide the liveliest in
terest for Washingtons bird lovers.
Hornbills have been seen at the local
Zoo before, but none are there now.
They live but a few years and raise
young hornbills, but seldomly in this
country, away from their natural
habitat.
Mr.. Hornbill gets his name from his
enormous bill, which is of the texture
of ivory This bill is very useful to
him in his meals. 1t is not known how
ever, whether the Creator gave Mr..
Hornbill a great bill so he could eat
large chunks of meat. or whether he
enjoys such a diet because of his
mammoth bill.
Mr.. Hornbill has horse cry which
sounds very much like the bark OF
dog. He is about the size of a hen.
