Gorilla Pussy About
His Sleeping Place

Th, Lain apparent preoccupation
of the male gorilla is fighting for
the continued possession of his
wives. AS the family party moves
along through the forest, rarely
sleeping twice in the same spot,
there is every night the business of
making beds. For the gorilla has
at least this in common with his
human cousins, that he likes and
demands a comfortable sleeping
place and, what is more, he prefers
to make his sleeping arrangements
well before darkness falls.
For this. purpose paterfamilias
bends down saplings and covers
them with leafy branches, while
the members of his harem, who are
sent up neighboring trees, make
each her own bed in suitable fork
by breaking off branches within her
reach. Their beds are never very
high up-never too high for the old
man to be able to keep his eye on
them. You may find chimpanzees
nesting in the treetops, but never
gorillas.
Once had a chance of studying
this proceeding. / made my camp
close to two parties of gorillas. Ny
own bed was made in five minutes,
but the gorillas took twenty min
utes to finish theirs to their liking,
and probably were more comfort.
able than I. They are certainly
very fastidious IN this matter. Even
when they remain in the same spot
for few days they make fresh
beds every night, sometimes even
in the same trees as the night be-
fore, but in other forks.-Dr. N. A.
Dyce Sharp in the Continental Edi.
ton of the London Daily Mail.

regardless of the test on each can,
the total amount of butterfat pro-
duced was the same and therefore
the income would be the same. So,
after all, variance in the tests OF
different cans of cream matters
little so long as the testing is done
honestly and accurately.
1t is impractical for the producer
to so separate his cream that it
will always test exactly the same.
That can only be done in milk
plants and creanaeries where a
large amount of milk and addition
al equipment facilitate Standard
cation. On the farm, too, many
small factors influence the test OF
the cream. The test of the milk
may change little. The tempera-
ture of the milk may be up OF
down a few degrees when going
through the separator The amount
of water or skimn1ilk used for
flushing may not always be in the
same proportion to the amount of
cream separated. Such things of
tentimes are responsible for
changes in cream tests without be-
ing noticed and being small and
obscure, it doesn't pay to be on the
constant lookout for them and adj
just the separator to overcome
them and in that way always pro-
duce cream of exactly the same
test. Nor is il necessary as the
example above shows.

Minnesota Leads World
In Manufacture of Flour
Production Last Year More Than
10000, 900 Barrels-One Fifth
of Wheat Handled

Minnesota still ranks first as a
flour milling state in spite of con-
fiicting reports during the past few
years that the milling industry is
moving east.
Figures compiled by the E.. M.
Zwickel, director of this district of
the United States bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce show
that in 1927 Minnesota produced
nearly 20 per cent of the nations
flour. While the state ranks third
in the number of mills in operation
it ranks first by 100000 barrels
in flour production.
In this state there are 76 mills,
which produced i'm 1927, more than
100000 barrels of flour. Kan
sas, topping the list with 113 mills
produced 17,500,000 barrels. Min
nesota's production for last year
was nearly double that of New
York, which ranked third in pro-
duction according to the figures
compiled by MIR. Zwickel's depart
ment.
The summary indicates that in
the United States last year, 1866
mills ground total of 500, $50, 900
bushels of wheat. These mills in
1927 produced a total of 109, 107,-
$50 barrels of flour. Mills in this
state handled 66,00O,000 bushels of
wheat almost one-fifth of all the
wheat ground in the United States.
1t is of interest to note that L.
698,000,000 pounds of by-product
was produced in this state last
year. Much of this by-produce was
returned of Minnesota farms as
mill feeds, where it was used in
feeding livestock. This illustrates
the Undergraduates of the vari-
Gus types of agricultural industry
in carrying out Minnesota's extern
sive program of diversification. 1t
is this inter-dependence that has
made Minnesota one of the out
standing balanced farming states
of the nation.
Minnesota demonstrates her
right to the title of the nations
bread basket by these figures,
which We're gathered from every
mill i'm the country" Mr.. Zwickel
said. "They also prove that Min
nesota is still the worlds flour mil
hing center in spite of the growth
of the -four milling industry in
New York and Kansas. -
With the comparatively recent
rapid development of the dairy
industry in this state, we are clas-
sed not only as the nations bread
basket, but as the country's butter
crock as well. Minnesota is forg-
ing ahead rapidly in other agricul-
tural lines and within a few years
will undoubtedly become the
worlds poultry and egg center.
Interesting comparative figures
in the departments report show
where other states were placed in
flour production. Missouri, with
II mills, produced 100000 bar
rels of flour and was in fourth
place; Washington state was fifth
with 4,700,00O barrels; with 35
mills, Texas was sixth producing
100000 barrels and Illinois was
seventh, producing 3,780,000 bar
rels i'm so mills.

Maurer, at Conference,
Praises USSR Laws

The grim prospect of homelessness
which faces all workers after a life
time of toll was described by speak
ers Tuesday at the First National
Conference on Old Age Pensions
which opened at the Community
Church, 34th St. and Park Avenue.
"More than 100000 workers arc
facing old age wi hout any means Of
support" declared James H. Maurer.
president of the Pennsylvania State
Federation of Labor, and one of the
speakers at the conference.
Problems Worse Than Ever.
Discussing specific conditions in
Pennsylvania, Maurer declared thai
the misery of the workers there has
grown in intensity due to the present
acute unemployment situation. He
said that ct the Pennsylvania legis-
lative hearing on the old age pension
law, the political henchmen of the
Mellon interests who fought and de-
feated the bill, boosted of the aim
houses maintained for the poor.
Maurer described these as "as hell for
the inmates"
Praises Soviet Union.
Referring to the system of labor
protection in the Soviet Union.-old
age pensions, sickness insurance, doc
tor, medicine, hospital and sanatorium
care, clothing, maternity insurance,
ETC., Maurer said that in mining re-
gions in the U. S. S. r. where the
production is about 1000 lbs. a dav
as against the four to five gross tons
output in Pennsylvania, the strong
hold of coal and steel, the Russian
workers enjoy the profits of industry
by an insurance law that guarantees
protection to all workers against the
common emergencies of life, and
leaves no worker facing the prospect
of being junked on the scrap bean in
old age. Maurer argued that the
American Association for Old Age
Security should not waste its time on
old age pensions alone, but direct the
tight to winning old age security
sickness insurance and unemployment
insurance.
among the other speakers were
Prof. Joseph P. Chamberlain Of
Columbia University who discussed
the $4,000 appropriation gran ed this
year to the Joint Legislative Welfare
Commission.

BOSSES CONTINUE
TO SURRENDER TO
STRIKING CLERKS
so Join Fruit Workers
AS 4 Dealers Settle

Eight more striking fruit store
clerks were arrested. yesterday while
picketing the shops of the retail fruit
stores in the Bronx. This brings the
number of arrests up to 43 in the
three day fight of the Grocery, Fruit
and Dairy Clerks Union to organize
the exploited fruit store workers.
-Four of those arrested are to come up
today in the 9Th District Magistrate
Court, two come up for trial today
in the night court, and two were dis
missed in the 9th District Magistrate
Court.
The employers attempt to intimi-
date the strikers and destroy their
morale by the continued and whole
sale arrests has only served to in
tensify their determination to fight
all the harder, in spite of the fact
that most of these workers have
never belonged to a union. To prove
this they point to the fact that the
committees visiting the stores not yet
on strike have succeeded in recruit
ing so more strikers yesterday. Each
day of the strike also shows an in
crease in the number Of bosses apply
ing for settlements, the strike leaders
declare.
Yesterday four more stores signed
agreements with the workers organ
ization, the Korn Fruit Exchange,
169th st. and Grand Ave; Morris

kelman, II Featherbed Lane. One of
