Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLAND, Mich, July 26 MAN
A).-George F. GetZ, millionaire Chi
cago sportman and big game hunter,
whose private zoo on his Lakewood
farm, near Holland, was visited by more
than 1,225 900 last year, is planning
another hunting trip to East Africa.
He made his first trip in 1927-1928,
and the trophies of that expedition, on
exhibition at the Michigan estate, form
one of the largest and finest collections
in the country.
Next January or February, in COM
pany with Jack Dempsey, former
heavyweight champion, George F. Getz
jr.. one of his two sons, and party OF
friends, Getz will lead another expedi-
ton. On the previous African venture
there were six Americans in the party
and 800 natives were employed.
Zoo Grew Out of Hobby.
Getz's zoo grew out of his hobby OF
collecting. with the result that COM
modious dens and cases now house 125
animals, ranging in size and variety
from pair of 24-foot pythons to an
elephant There also are tigers, count
less monkeys, lions, jaguars and the
smallest pony in the world.
In 1918 Getz had a wonderful collec-
ton of animals When the war came
he was commissioned a major and put
in charge of relief work in cooperation
with the American Red Cross in Bel
GUM, France and later in Germany.
II did not want to feed the animals
during the war, when / thought the
food might be needed by our boys, y
Getz explained. Then, too, did not
know how long I would be in France
I offered the city of Holland my entire
zoo, but the offer was not accepted.
believe the city made a mistake"
Grand Rapids heard that the animals
were to go, and an hour after an Of
flcial called they were being loaded and
removed to that city.
On his return from France >Getz de-

cided that he could not get along with
out his animals. and so he started
building up his second collection.
Every year he has added to the num-
Der of animals until today visitors pass
through streets lined with cages. Most
Of the animals Getz obtained in their
native haunts.
ST love animals and love to enter
tain people," the 64-year-old millionaire
said. I'm getting too old to go to
other folks celebrations and I want
them all to come to mine instead. I
get much pleasure from the animals
myself, but get even more in watch
ing Others enjoy them, especially the
children"
When Getz was he went to work
on farm near fredericksburg, Pa. He
had to work hard. He recalls seeing
his first circus poster. There was a
picture of tiger and elephant on a
crossroad s.gnboard
What are those?" he asked. I'll
get some like that to play with" he
said, when told.
But the wages of a 6-year-old boy
were not sufficient to buy even a dog,
to say nothing of a tiger or elephant.
Getz left the farm at IL and went
to Chicago, where he obtained Job as

Vets Recall Memories

One of Oldest Legends,
That of Wandering Jew

How long the story of the "Wan-
dering Jew" has been in circulation,
and what was its origin, are ques-
lions on which there is no evidence
to base replies. But it is certain
that from the period of its first writ
ing it became more prevalent than
ever in various homes.
1t was not till after that the aspect
of eternal wandering was introduced,
and this was possibly encouraged by
the fact that at intervals persons
claiming to be the original wander
ing Jew made their appearance in
different parts of Europe.
According to the Italian astrologer
Guido Bonnati. the wanderer passed
through Forli in 1867. Philip of
Noyara, famous jurist who resided
for long time in Jerusalem, writing
in 1850, refers to one Jehan Boute
Dieu as one proverbially long-lived,
suggesting that the legend was then
well established in Jerusalem.

Crop Rotation Ancient

The principles of soil cultivation,
which are included under the term
scientific farming" were known to
the farmers of the most ancient
times, according to II. W. Warner,
writing in the Farm Journal.
''The principle of crop rotation
was known and practiced to some
extent more than three thousand
years ago." he says. 1--WE find ap-
plication of lime to the soil men,
toned in writings dating well be-
fore the Christian era. The early
white settlers of New England found
the Indians fertilizing corn, and arti-
fetal fertilization with guano was
practiced by the Incas in South
America 20 centuries ago"

ROBERT ARMSTRONG
FINDS QUICKEST WAY
TO END BAD COLD

In making talking pictures, Rob-
ert Armstrong no longer breads to
face the sensitive nlicrophone. For,
like scores of other Hollywood stars,
he has found how easily one can get
rid of a cold by the quick, pleasant
method doctors now advise for home
use.
Mr.. Armstrong, for example, had
a severe cough caused by neglecting
a chest cold. Examination showed
that his breathing passages were
congested, his throat was infamed
by constant coughing and his voice
was hoarse.
Then he was given double strength
doses of Ayers Cherry Pectoral
every Is minutes until congestion
started clearing up, then a spoon
full every two hours.
In just an hour or so the medi-
cation began to relieve congestion.
Breathing became easier; the spas
modic attacks of coughing ceased
and by dinner time he was feeling
like a. different person. When
friends arrived for bridge that eve
ming his hoarseness had almost en-
tirely disappeared. The next day
he was delighted to find that Cherry
Pectoral had cleared up the cold so
that his voice was in condition to go
ahead with the picture.

from Indiana, had favored Brown
in the lease awards.
