Mr.. Sackett, A. e. and p, has been

he is Ambassador for the United States.
That's the "A" in A. E. and p. The

fossilized tributes to a grand free past

NEW YORK. September 27.-The

construction had Iessened in the past
few months and that unemployment
had resulted.
The shipbuilding industry of the
United States views the future with

Is four times as hourishing as it was
two years ago."
The report stated the workmen in
volved would receive 100000 900 for
their services this year. or 80 per cent
OF the total expenditure. This will be
divided equally between labor within
the shipyards and labor engaged in
providing materials outside the yards.

The boy is Richard Kruger, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Kruger, who have

At the time of the divorce the boys
custody was given to the mother Three
years ago she went abroad, placing the
child in boys school. Returning, she
found he had been taken from the
school by his father and placed in the

In the litigation now before Judge
Lewis, each side contends that the

How small o gorilla have you ever seen3
Very sman-so long measuring Is tnches)
riding upon its mothers neck.
Did you ever see q gorilla attack or Hill o
man?
No I never saw one but heard of one
who killed man Bzaz who came up on east
of Mikeno by a banana grove to cut bamboo.
He never came back to Shamba and other
natives went to look for him and found him
all tramped and many gorilla tracks all
around his body. CThis is similar to the story
Mr.. Akeley heard and is apparently the tradi-
tional story of this regon).
Did gorilla ever charge you while hunting
trapping?
Have you hunted gorilla with many white
men?
Twice before Mr. Akeley came in 1921 and
five times since. 1 caught with my own hands
one of the little gorillas taken by Burbridge.
Did you ever see gorillas in a tree?
Only once in all my hunting experience, and
that was with Mr.. Akeley in 1921, when he
took his motion pictures of them. CHe here
described exactly Mr.. Akeley describes and
as his film shows, the position and action of the
gorillas)
Have you ever seen gorilla in tree since?
Never, but that one time.
Have you even a gorilla nest in tree?
No have seen many chimpanzee nests in
trees, but never a gorilla nest.
LIE then related the story of my husbands
gorilla hunting, and told the details of
where and how he shot and skinned them
in very steep places, of how the old gorilla
almost rolled over them, telling all details with
exactness When remarked on this he said,
"Why, of course, tell the truth; tell things
just as I see them"
Nearly all of these questions were asked at
least twice under different conditions and his
answers were invariably the same.
Leopards, which very numerous in the
Kivu volcanoes, said to attack young
gorillaS. Because of their depredations upon
the gorilla, the Belgian Government encourages
the killing of leopards in the Pare National
Albert With this single exception, the great
ape who journeys without haste over the
Birunga slopes has enemies in the animal
world Herds of elephant and buffalo travel
the same mountain trails the gorilla, and

Cattle Tick Losing Ground

THE cattle fever tick is being driven farther
and farther back into it's strongholds in
Louisiana and Arkansas, but the campaign in
these sections is expected to give scientists
real battle The quarantine laid down by the
Federal Government in 1906 covered IA South
ern States and one Pacific State. The menace
of the parasite and the fever became so great
at that time that drastic steps were found
necessary in order that its spread might be
checked. Intensive work. often under the
greatest local opposition, has gone steadily
since that time, until now only five of the orig
inal Is States are stin under quarantine.
Mississippi one of the five remaining has
been forging ahead rapidly, and it is expected
that the remaining II counties under quarantine
will be freed by Fall The work being carried
on in Texas and Florida gives promise of free
ing those States in full before long.
The last remaining strongholds now-areas
in which no effort has been made to eradicate
the tick-are Is counties in Arkansas and AZ
parishes in Louisiana. Just what future steps
win be taken in these localities are not mdi-
Gated at present.

Groqcth of W00l Studied.

WHEN the wool expert decides to study the
growth of wool he gees at it in a way
which limits all uncertainty and guesswork.
The rate of growth of the wool and its fineneSS
have been believed subject to various conditions
within the control of the wool raiser, and in
order that this may be determined and the ideal
conditions for wool production developed, ex-
perts working under the Department of Agri-
culture hit upon a novel scheme for watching
the growth of the wool. At the time of shear
ing the test animals tuft was tied close to the
skim and every % days thereafter new tie was
made at the skin.
When a year had elapsed tuft of wool with
IS ties in it was ready for study. 1t was found
that the growth of the wool. both in length
and diameter, was greatest in the Summer and
Fall, while in the midwinter it was least.
Any condition, such as undernourishment,
severe weather, and so on, which might affect
the vitality and the thriftiness of the sheep
was found to have a corresponding effect upon
the wool.

man of good digestion, with strong heart, and
a burning aspiration to get somewhere. Peary's
formula for it was two pounds of pemmican
and a half gallon of tea day, on which he
declared an explorer could go around the world
in any direction"
Exploration today demands a large staff,
many receiving fairly large salaries The public
insists that every care be taken for their COM
fort and every precaution for their safety. 1t
is becoming more and more a matter of high
powered organization rather than individual
initiative.
"A fully equipped expedition to either pole,
Tibet Central Africa, or the head waters Of the
Orinoco," continues Comdr. Green, costs from
500 900 to 100000, depending on the size Of
the ship and the number of men. An expe-
dition without private ship and hrst-rate
scientists representing the major departments
of research can scarcely claim wide public at
tention 1t lacks dramatic appeal"
Six years remain of the period Byrd allotted
to exploration. Probably no decision has yet
been made but in Byrd's busy brain some plan
even now is surely coming to maturity.

Fruit Tree Pruning Needed.

MUCH as the home gardener hates to cut OF
Az the branches of his fruit trees, which at
their best seem to grow so slowly, some ampu-
tation is necessary for the future of the tree.
Limbs which have tendency toward the
center of the tree should be cut out, as well as
those which grow at odd angles and rub
against others. The rubbing of branches win
result in the death of both, while ingrowing
branches will result in trees which will suffer
later from lack of sunshine at the main trunk
Of the trees. Therefore, much as it may hurt
as all pruning seems to hurt, the home gardener
must get out his knife or pruning saw and go
to work II he wants real satisfactory results
in the future.

3Orest never use O trap. They use only spears
and bows and arrows. They will not touch
sat flesh Of O gorilla or chimpanzee. Notwith-
standing their great courage, they avoid the
gOriIlas since contact with the great apes may
prove dangerous and can be of no advantage
to them. Several pygmieS whom Derscheid met
told him that they had never seen q live gorilla
and that they knew Of the animal only by hear-
ing stories from their tribssmen. Other
pygmies familiar with gorilas, stated that 1t
is unwise to climb q tree in face Of a charging
gorilla because of the likelihood of being
trapped. They told him not to go into a dense
Jnicket in case of danger, as there the gor1laS
move easily and pay no attention to thorns.
Usually when a native disturbs a gorilla,
thereby provoking charge, the native is
warned by the bark" of the gorilla. Since
only single gorilla charges native. if aware
of what is happening, is able to protect himself.
The method seems to be always the same. The
gorilla, running but not leaping is stopped in
his charge by spear which the native holds
near the ground with its blunt end thrust into
the earth at narrow angle. Conflicts between
natives and gorillas are difficult to study, be-
cause the natives realizing that the white
men wish to protect the gorillas, afraid to
give information. They fear being jailed If
1t is known that they have ever killsd gorilla.
Only the pygmies freely admit the truth in
such matters.
THE testimony of Mguru, who had also
served gorilla guide for Mr.. Burbridge,
Mr.. Barns and several other white visitors to
the Kivu, seems to me pertinent to this discus
sion. His replies to my questions were inter-
preted for me and quote than in the form
of a QUESTIONABLE with answers:
How long have you, Mguru, been guide?
Since long before the war.
How long have you known the volcanoes?
Since long before the white man came to
hunt.
Why did you come up to the Karisimbi
Mikeno and BiShoke forests?
I came to trap duiker and to hunt hydrax
with dogs.
Did you see gorillas thsn when trapping?
Yes, many before white men began to shoot
often 20 or 80 in one place and in one family.
How did these gorillas behave then?
Some lay in beds. Sometimes 10 and 10
lying in beds. Never, never run away from
me. Only looked at me long, long time.
How close did you go to them?
AS close as is feet when I came them
IA deep vegetation suddenly.
