Johns Hopkins Professor Keep

Baltimore, Md, April 27. R-A half grown chimpanzee is living an ideal life at Johns Hopkins univer- sity, earning his keep simply by growing up and developing normal ly.
 Propinauus Dayton by name. he was captured in Africa a year or so ago and is one of the healthiest chimpanzees in captivity, offering science d rare opportunity to fill in one of the gaps in mans knowl- edge of the higher apes.
 He now is a little more than four years old and will mature in about four more years. Every de- tail of His development is being watched and recorded by Dr. Adolph H. Schultz. associate pro- lessor of anthropology. who has studied chimpanzees and gorillas in many European museums and universities.
 Dr. Schultz hopes. through this investigation, to produce record of the physiological and morpho- logical development of the chim- panzoe which will yield valuable information when compared with the similar. though more complete, data already assembled with re- spect to human beings.
 In all mammals. during the grow ing period. some parts of the body develop faster than others at diff ferent stages. Dr. Schultze's record will show these relative rates of growth for the head, arms. torso legs, feet and all other organs which can be measured, together with changes in facial expression and behavior. The study will be continued through maturity If the chimpanzee survives. and at dea'h normally about the age Of 70 years or more, a complete analysis VII

 The couple was married yesterday at the brides Park avenue apart ,ncnt by the Rev Dr. :. Parkcs Cadman, the ceremony being at tended only by the immediate rcla- lives. The marriage license gave the brides age as 3S and that of tho bridegroom as 3o2.
 The bride was divorced in 192- from Clarence Frederick Ncs'in wealthy broker and clubman. She obtained the custody of their two sons. Clarence. now 1o, and Doug las. now ten. The wedding ill l9ot was a social event.

 "You don't have to talk to get along as a salesman" Methvin said. About nine-tenths of all talk Is probably useless.

 Dayton now weighs about 40 pounds and can pull 120 pounds in weight. When he is full grown his strength will be dangerous, so every precaution is being taken to keep him on friendly terms during his youth with the men who must work with him later. For that req son, Dr. Schultz is his most fre- quent visitor and best friend, pet ting him like some fabulous uncle and being on hand usually when such luscious delicacies as oranges, his favorite fruit, are being served. Dayton is quite a spoiled child. Only one thing is lacking to make life complete for him, a mate Of his own race and age. To compen- sate for this, and to keep him from moping with loneliness.

The resources of our banks and our
National Treasury, the strength Of our
Federal reserve system, were so great
that we not only kept our own currency
on a gold basis and our own exchange
at par, but were able to furnish lage
credits to other nations to stabilize their
currency and support their exchange.
These are some of the facts which
indicate the progress and prosperity OF
the United States While there are still
some of our people who have not yet
become participators to the extent of
their merit in our material resources
and some lines which have fallen be-
hind. we have Striven to keep the door

Cites Increase in Savings.
The millions of our people who are
investors in securities, the S27 500, 900 900
of deposits in savings institutions, which
have more than doubled in nine years;
the $1,000, 100000 of assets of building
and loan associations. which have more
than trebled since 1919, the widespread
individual ownership of homesteads the
possession of 23000,000 motor vehicles
of which 20.000,000 are passenger cars.
the general use of the telephone and
radio, the constantly increasing rate of
wages even when the price of commodi-
ties has been declining. and the general
standard of living never before expert
enced by any people in human history
all testify that under our free institu-
tions and equality of opportunity the
distribution of wealth is solving itself
in accordance with natural laws.
These figures, which would be cold
and uninteresting in themselves. when
we realize they illustrate the life and
development of our country, cannot
fail to have a deep fascination. But
those wonderful records would be of
little avail if they we're not accom-
panied by evidences of the moral power
OF the Nation. Education is on the
increase. Our charities are lavish and

in behalf of limitation of naval arma-

all mankind. Our influence in nego-

for each of their wage earners. The
scale of labor has constantly improved
in importance and compensation.
A most important influence in our
national progress has been the expan-
sion and increased efficiency of trans
portation. Prior to 1860 railroads were
in small and detached units built on
different gauges and freight charges
were rarely less than 2 cents per tom
mile. Beginning in 1869 consultations
were effected, gauges standardized and
uniformity of operation introduced,
which have gradually reduced freight
charges to about cent per ton-mile.
Business has so much increased that
passenger traffic is three times and
freight six times as large as they were
in 1890. There has lately been a re-
markable increase in railroad efficiency.
In The five years prior to 1927 the aver
age distance travelled by freight car
was increased four-twelfths. while the
proportionate consumption of coal was
reduced two-twelfths, and one-twelfth
more employees moved four-twelfths
more freight. The movement from pro-
ducer to consumer has increased 40 per
cent in rapidity. The periodic car short
ages have been entirely eliminated.
Goods we're handled with so much care
that the cost of paying for such dam
ages has been reduced 70 per cent.
Waterways Expenditures.
Our national expenditures and au-
thorizations for inland waterways have
run into hundreds of millions of dollars.
Some of this in the Mississippi Valley
has already been demonstrated to be
commercially profitable. The water
borne traffic on the Great Lakes has
reached the enormous total of 116,000.-
being made for a deep channel water
way from the Great Lakes to the sea.
Within the past 10 years one of our
most remarkable Improvements has been
in highway construction, the expense Of
which has been borne in part by the
States and local units of government
and in part by the National Treasury.
More than $4,000 miles of improved
highways have been constructed, with
over 222 miles of bridges, at cost of
over 81, ,439 100000, of which the Federal
Government has paid $633 100000 On
rural highways as a whole over ST.
000,000,000 is being expended annually.
This movement for good roads. with the
general use of the automobile. has great
ly decreased the cost of the transporting
of our production and given a mobility
to Cur people that has expanded the
whole horizon of life and brought bene-
fetal results so great that they cannot
yet be enumerated.
In our airways commercial aviation
already covers many thousand miles
each day.
The great strength and soundness of
our financial structure was demonstrat-
ed by the World War Prior to that
time we had been debtor nation. Dur
