Hiboy, the male giraffe at the Zoo,
who died Sunday, will not be replaced
Immediately.
Giraffes seldom come on the market,
according to DIR. William NJ. Mann,
director Of the Zoo, and when they
are offered for sale the prices usually
are prohibitive. They are extremely
delicate until they become accustomed
to captivity, are not easy to capture,
and frequently perish during the long
ocean voyage.
Awaits New Expedition.
In the event of another African
expedition in the next few years, DR..
Mann said, it is proba BILE that special
attention would be devoted to obtain
ing three or four giraffes, as we'll as
one or two gorillas, which never have
been represented in the collection
here.
Once a giraffe does become accli-
mated, DIR. Mann said. they frequently
live for many years in captivity and
there is every indication that Dot,
the female brought from Africa with
Hiboy, will enjoy a long life in Wash
ington. She has taken to her food
we'll and never has had any sickness.
Dot will not grieve very greatly
over Hiboy's death, Zoo officials be-
lieve. For the past three or. four
months he has been far from
pleasant companion, and has kept to
himself as much as possible. Besides,
giraffes are not very emotional crea-
lures nor given to building up very
strong affections.

That no greater loss of life resulted
was attributed by railroad men to the
fact that the first-class coaches were
of steel construction.

Social Service League.

Christmas donations received by the
Social Service League during the past
month went to provide Christmas for 81
families and altogether nearly 200 chill
dren. Miss Irma E. Mohr reported at the
executive committee meeting of the league
on January 4th.
Cash donations amounting to $4S2. 20
were received from women's clubs and
churches to meet the needs In certain
families. which occur not only at Christ
mas time. but throughout the year. Gifts
of toys, canned goods and provisions were
sent from Troop AZ. of the Girl Scouts, Of
Chevy Chase and the Junior Social Service
members of the Kensinston. Bethesda and
Rockville schools. The First M. E. Church
of Chevy Chase obtained in advance the
names of the children in IL families and
packed large boxes of toys and clothing
for them. Stockings were filed by the
Civic Study Club of Takoma Park and dis
tributed to the children placed out in
foster homes. Gifts of clothing donated
by the various branches of the Needle
work Guild also helped to provide for many
of the needy.
The cash contributions which were re-
ceived made it possible for the league to
provide not only Christmas cheer, but to
meet concrete needs which will improve
the comfort and happiness of many fami-
lies throughout the year. These year
round gifts included repairs for the home
of widow with six little children, milk
for group of children exposed to tuber-
culosis. orthopedic shoes and brace for a
crippled boy, cash allowance for an aged
woman no longer able to work. and winter
fuel and blankets for several fatherless
families.
