dears and Mother Lemur had no time
to pay any attention to the children
So they listened to her as she talked
to them in her sweet little squealing
voice and later IN they heard kind
of NOTWITHSTANDING.
So they went about the zoo, and in
addition to the many strange and I'M
usual animals they saw all their old
friends, such as the lions and the
tigers, the rhinoceros and the ducks
and the geese and the goats.
Not, of course, that they were ex-
actly old friends with the lions and
the tigers, but they were familiar to
them by sight whereas many, many
of the animals they had never even
heard Of in all their lives.
Uncle John said that many Of them
were new to him, too.
They loved the zoo--almost better
than any place they had been. They
loved the big park itself and they
simply loved the animals.
During their stay in the city they
often went there, for after time they
actually felt "chummy'' with some Of
the animals
I've known a good many Of our
city zoo Keepers" Uncle John said,
land they've certainly helped me to
know and appreciate the animals
and am only. one of many. Truly
we are fortunate in our animals and
in those who are with them"
But that night. after the day of
their first visit to the zoo, Uncle John
called them, just before they were go
ing to bed.

that Mother Lemur was singing to her
babies this afternoon" he said. "She

singing?

somewhat the way the song went
I've been trying to put those monkey
sounds of hers into our words. This
is what I've jotted down:

I'll watch you and guard you, you need

While the tumbler switch Is the one
modern type for installation In new
houses, 1t is also especially adapted to
the undermining OF old electrical
equipment. 1t occupies the same
space In the wall as the obsolete types
that you may desire to replace and so

HELPS TO GOOD CITY GOVERNMENT
Chicago Daily News)

In the five-year survey Of the government Of
American cities to be started next year under the Ii
rection Of DR.. Augustus r. Hatton Of Northwestern
University. who is known as the father Of the city
manager plan, there is an almost certain promise OF
improvement in municipal administration. For, a--
companying the proposal for the survey Is a plan for
a consulting and advisory service to be available TO the
officials Of all American cities facing difficult prob
lens Of finance, public health, sanitation or any other
that may arise in the management Of a citys affairs.
DR.. Hatton's investigators and advisers, to be
chosen from the membership Of the City Managers
Association, it is announced, will be men who have dis
tingGished themselves in running the business Of their
respective cities. They should be fully competent.
therefore. to investigate conditions in any city intell:-
gently and to r%ecommen beneficial methods Of admin
stratiOn where changes are advisable.
1t is possible, too, that out Of the movement As
planned will develop a school OF instruction in city
management, a school whose graduates ultimately viii
replace officials whose only education in municipal
administration has been gained from ward politics.
Generally throughout the United States. according
to scientific and practical students who addressed the
Virginia Institute Of Politics recently, there has been
encouraging improvement in the city government. In
the institutes round table discussion. for example, it
was asserted that a new and respectable Tammany
Hall had replaced the old. and that New York City was
being better governed than it had been in years. Tam
many's improvement was attributed to the fact that
Olvany, its present chief, being a college graduate, has
associated with him educated younger men who respond
to the new and higher standards than those that pre-
vailed in the wigwam when, for example, Dick Croker
was chief.
According to the accepted verdict Of the institutes
assembled students of municipal affairs, New York Is
now fairly well governed. Chicago and Philadelphia
afford conspicuous examples of bad government, Bos-
tons government is "tolerable" and Detroits good.
Chicagoans may accept or reject that verdict as they
choose, but ut least it should set them thinking.

is the prediction of Mark Sullivan, famous political
writer, who asserts that the rank and file of the major
parties will not be sufficiently interested in the pOliti-
cal situation to participate in the primaries.
Mr.. Sullivan points out that as a result Of the
apathy Of the American voters the selection Of dele
gates will be made by the party leaders, who never
when the voters do not take sufficient interest to par
tieIpate in large numbers. IL the present condition
continues, IL there Is not acute contest between the
various presidential possibilities, the delegates will be
selected by the party leaders and their workers in
their various states-and the delegates will, of
course, vote for the candidate favored by their re-
spective leaders.
Hoe. or. Dawes. Lowden. Longworth, Hughes, Cool
idee each have large followings. and Il is generally con-
ceded that Coolidge could have the nomination if he
would accept However, none Of these ~favorite sons"
are Of the caliber that arouses much enthusiastic
among the rank and file Of the republican party. Tha
Hoover following is probably the strongest, but the
feasibility Of q coalition between the forces Of Lowden
ana Dawes has not been lost sight Of by the party
leaders. Lowden's following. which comprises the
farmers Of the Middle West, has launched a vigorous
campaign for their favorite. but it lacks the enthusiasm
aud vigor Of the campaigns of the old days when
Robert NJ. LaFollette Of Wisconsin and Senator Bev-
eridge of Indiana led the progressive element in their
battles with the eastern wing of the party.
The same apathy is apparent in the democratic
marty. The withdrawal Of McAdoo has had the effect
81 eliminating interest in the naming Of a party can
didste. So long rs there was a possibility OF another
clash between the McAdoo and Smith followings inter
est was cute, but the elimination Of MeAdoo has fiat
tened out the political perspective Of the democratic
rank and file.
Mary Sullivan expresses the opinion that unless
a sensational campaign is launched by some Of the
various contenders. there will be virtually no interest
exhibited either at the primaries or the state and ma
t;oual conventions. II Is unfortunate that such a con-
diion should exist. Tie future Of the nation is not

WASHINGTON Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART

Unable that they hornswaggled Ser
rano into going off at half cock.
Washington is pretty well salts
fled now that 0bregon will succeed
Gales as president next year in the
regular way.
It's regarded by peace-lovers as q
program dcvoutly TO be wished.
His best friends don't speak Of
Gales as tactful. They defend him
as honest, patriotic and courageous,
but they have to admit that he's
bull headed, and some say thick
headed, too.
Obregon's given credit for all
Gales best qualities and first rate
ability besides.
Foreign oil companies in Mexico
send word that they're laying off
hands wholesale because the govern
mcnt won't grant new well permits.
Official figures show $50 permits
granted from Jan. /. to Aug. 10.
While not a record, expert pro-
nounce this fairly good. for a time
when the companies are curtailing
Mexican drilling and Gaping wells,
to counteract the American oversup-
ply, which can better be done there
than here, because Mexican derricks
aren't so congested and pumping
competition consequently isn't so
keen.
At the same time, combining bust
ness with pleasure, they seem to be
blaming the Mexican government for
what they want to do any way.

The World and All
By Charles p. Driscoll
MY TOWNS-BAYONNE

It takes money to make a city modern and pro-
gressive and outstanding. Good schools, good water,
good policing. good sewage disposal and good pave
ments cost enormous sums Of public money in an
American city.
The money has to be got out Of taxes. Somebody
must pay the taxes. High enough taxes to make
everything first-class become burdensome if all the
taxation falls upon moderately circumstaneed individu-
ais, small grocers and struggling manufacturers.
A city really needs at least one large, rich corpo-
ration TO help pay the taxes. Preferably a corporation
that occupies much ground and has very large real and
personal property interests.
Bayonne Is in New Jersey, separated from Staten
Island, New York, by a narrow stream called Kill Won
Kull. 1t occupies part Of the New York harbor water
front. It has frontage on Newark Bay. 1t is only a
few minutes from the heart Of New York by electric
train.
Bayonne Is a very superior town. II has one OF
the best school systems in the vicinity Of the metropo-
lis. People who live with their families in Bayonne
could not afford to move over to New York. The
children would miss the school advantages Of the New
Jersey town.
Almost all the essential public activities and serv-
ices in Bayonne are tip-top. Citizens Of this remark
able town have SO little to complain about that they
are practically untitled for life in the average Ameri-
can city, where citizens often find their chief happiness
in complaining about the water. police, fire depart
ment, ice, milk, ~pavements, parks, zoo and sewers.
The Standard Oil company has an enormous plant
in Bayonne. As you pass through the fields of oil
tanks there, you are amazed that a town SO far from
any oil field can have such a f~ar-flung array Of stor-
age tanks. These tanks get their oil from pipe lines
that run 70 oil fields all over the continent, I am told.
probably IL is cheaper TO transport the oil by pipeline
than to haul 1t in tank cars OF course, the oil must
get to the Ocean-side somehow, since 50 much Of il,
refined and u~nrefined, must be exported.
As you view the refineries and tank farms, you
realize whence comes some Of the tax money. And
Bayonne has many other rich sources Of income. No
wonder it's such a well-groomed ethyl

ing to Mexican Law.
Ali the same, the state department
folks couldn't repress q slight shud-
der at the short work Gen. Oregon
made Of him a few days ago, with
his chief lieutenants, for rebellion
against President Gales.
Serrano was 0~bregon's war minis
ter. They were buddies. Like broth
ers" was the way they generally
were described.
Still, there was no doubt about
Serrano's rebellion.
The Emperor Maximilian's govern
ment made the law originally, in the
COS. IL proyided-no ceremony with
rebels, caught red-handed-a drum

squad-prontol
Macmillan used il against Rebel
Juarez's forces for quite awhile.
Then Juarez caught Macmillan
and executed him, under his own
law. He said Macmillan was the
rebel; not he tJuarez).
1t was too handy a law to repeal.
The Mexicans have kept it ever
since. 1t accounts for SO many mill
tary executions south Of the Rio
Grande. Some critics say il amounts

such thing. Its a law.
Even though a rebel, Serrano ap-
pears TO have been an exceptionally
fine chap. Washington officials knew
him quite well, through his connec-
tion with the Obregon regime, and
were mighty sorry TO hear he'd been
shot.
A good deal Of surprise Is ex-
pressed over the fact that he took
the war path at this time.
It's assumed he thought he wasn't
getting a fair break as a presidential
candidate, but the general verdict is
that he was foolish not TO wait until
after election, instead Of rebelling
so early-with the opposition's
crookedness, if any, not only un-
proved but not even committed yet.
