the Senator had been sweethearts

schools together. Mrs. Lenroot always
retained the greatest affection for the
lower House and she acted more fire.

sentatives than with those of the
Senators in the various social activi-
ties. For few years past, Mrs.
Lenroot's health has been rather

the Congressional set than formerly.

today for his fundamental re-
searches and experiments in svia-
tion, = experiments which pointed
the way to modern worldwide fly
ing. In the late eighties Professor
Langley realized the educational
advantages that would result from
having a collection of living animals
accessible to the student and as an
incentive to study for the younger
generation. He, therefore. created
in the Smithsonian Institution
Department of Living Animals.
These animals were housed IN
small enclosures erected in the rear
of the present Smithsonian building
on The Mall. The collection grew
rapidly in numbers both by dona-
lions and purchase. The care OF
these animals became such burden
upon the limited funds of the Insti-
tuition, which depends upon meager
income of $4,000 a year from pri@
waite endowments, that Professor
Langley appealed to Congress TO
take over the embryo ZOO. 1t ID

Birds and Reptiles Also
Sought in Quest Which
Penetrates the Heart of
african Wilds.

r T NDER the auspices of the
" Smithsonian Institution of
Washington, preparations
have just been completed for the
greatest expedition for the capture
of Wild animals known in the zoo
logical history of this country. The
Smithsonian expedition of 1909,
headed by former President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, was devoted to col
lecting specimens of wild animals
for museum purposes. The object
Of the new quest is to collect only
living animals, birds and reptiles
for zoo exhibition and scientific pHr-
poses.
The Smithsonian Chrysler Expe-
dition, as this scientific adventure
is known, is being financed by Wal
ter P. Chrysler, prominent automo-
bile manufacturer. 1t will be headed
bv DR.. William NJ. Mann, director
of the National Geological Park at
Washington, who brought the urgent
need of the Park for new specimens
to Mr.. Chrysler's attention, and in
duced him to provide the necessary
funds.
DR.. Mann's story was empha-
sized by the disappointment of the
thousands of children, visitors to the
mark, who were not able to find a
single giraffe there. Upon the re-
turn of DR.. Mann's party there will
be several CRATES quartered in the
park together with hundreds of spec
linens of the largest and smallest
of African wild animal life, includ-
ing fully one hundred specimens
never before seen alive in this coun-
try.
Cooperating with the Smithsonian
Institution are the Museum of Com
parative Zoology at Harvard Uni
versity, the Museum of Zoology OF
the University of Michigan, the Zoo
logical Society of London, and the
Pathe News, which will make
pictorial record of the activities OF
the expedition and its ark-full OF
living animals.
