You let him feel inferior to you.
Now he feels the necessity of prov

you that his charm is irresistible.
Since he failed to floor you by
making love to you exclusively, he
must try other means to impress
you with his Importance.
You two are engaged in the
struggle for power over each other.
This will wreck the finest love af-

The successful love affair is that in
which the lovers unite their drive

instead of pitting it against each

You say, "I let him understand

which Ngi, the 6-year-old gorilla in
the next cage, has been suffering from
the past three weeks and from which
he has been at the point of death.

quent among the apes following the
1918 "hu" epidemic. 1t is not neces-
sarily serious, but is an alarming
symptom because, in human beings, it
frequently indicates a punctured lung.
1t might also be caused by a gas
bacillus.
Mann Notifies Explorer
DR. William NJ Mann, director of the
Zoo, at once called on the long distance
telephone Martin Johnson, famous Al
rican explorer, who brought OKero
from the Belgian Kongo last Summer.
Johnson promised to fly from New York
to Washington this morning. OKero
was purchased by johnson from a native
Of the Belgian Kongo when he was in
very bad condition and was nurSed
back to health by him.
For months he reared him as child.
It was thought that Mr.. Johnson's
presence might help to keep up the
little fellows morale.
OKero belongs to the species Of
mountain gorilla which is confined to
the slopes of the high mountains of the
Albert National Park in the northern
part of the Belgian Kongo. He is one
of the two mountain gorillas in cap
tivity. N'gi belongs to another species
which inhabits the jungle country of
West Africa.
Since O'Kero has been at the Zoo he
has shared his cage with Teddy, a 3
year-old chimpanzee. As soon as the
little gorilla's condition was diagnosed
the chimpanzee was removed from the
cage.
The two apes have been inseparable
companions since they have been in
Washington.
Epidemic Among Apes.
An epidemic of colds appears TO be
running among the apes at the zoo.
Jojo, the chimpanZee in the next cage,
had a cold yesterday. 1t is approx
mately the same condition, 1t was ex-
planned. as the epidemics of colds and
whooping cough affecting children In
many Washington neighborhoods.
Close watch was kept on O'Kero last
night. Today an effort will be made to
determine the type of the pneumonia
organism with which he is infected.
N'Gi has what is known as Type 4.
This is the most common type OF
bronchial pneumonia, and there Is no
serum which acts upon it. If O'Kero
has any of the other types, a serum
treatment may be attempted.
NGi was operated upon Thursday
night and nearly a quart OF fluid
drained from his pleural cavity He was
reported as continuing to improve last
night.

Washington soon is to miss the pres

Back in 1927, when President
Coolidge set up the Summer White
House near Rapid City S. Oak, Col.
Latrobe was moving at the head of the
4th Cavalry from Fort D. A. Russell,
Wyo., to take station at Fort Meade,
S. Oak. President Coolidge went out to
see the Cavalry pass. Probably it was
the first time he had seen a mounted
command under field conditions, trudg-
ing through the dust to the squeak of
saddle leather, and the trampling Of
Shod hooveS.
Invited to Dinner.
Mr.. Coolidge, released from the
drudgery at his White House desk, got
such kick" out of it that he went
on that night to visit the command in
its bivouac under the stars There he
met Col Latrobe, a Beau Sabeur of the
modern days of horse soldiery, and he
sat up late, listening to Latrobe's vivid
tales of early days in the West.

doubtedly existed a boyish thrill for
tales of adventure and danger At any
rate, he invited Latrobe back fol-
luncheon the next day at the Summer
White House. Correspondents from the
Summer camp wrote that the COM
mander in chief of the Nations land
and sea forces sat spellbound as the
colonel drew on his book of memory to
sketch picture after picture of thrilling
episodes of the out-of-doors.

TREASURER REMOVAL
BILL GIVEN APPROVAL
Va. House Passes Measure Giving
Governor Authority to Sus-
pend County Aficials.
BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 5.-Their
Importance having been demonstrated
by the recent alleged shortage in the
Arlington County treasurer's office, it
was claimed by the patron, two bills
affecting county treasurers were passed
tooay by the House Of Delegates.
one OF these bills will give the Gov
ernor the right to remove from Office or
suspend any county or city treasurer
whose accounts are thought to be or
found to be short. The old law on this
subject was last year declared to be
unconstitutional because it did not pro-
vide that such suspensions or removals
be preceded by hearing.
The other bill will make it a misde-
meanor and malfeaSance in Office for
any treasurer to omit any delinquents
from delinquent tax lists. The prac-
tice OF holding out" tax tickets, it was
oeclareo by Delegate Wilbur C. Hall,
patron, has gotten more treasurers in
trouble than any one other thing.

DELEGATES APPROVE
NEW CHARTER BILL
Virginia House Passes Measure to
Amend Falls Church Corpora
tion Law.
a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

BY staff Correspondent Of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 5.-The
Falls Church charter change bill was
among 83 bills that were passed today
by the House of Delegates in an effort
to clear its calendar prior to Monday.
the last day upon which the House can
act upon its own measures.
AS passed, the bill contains an amend
ment striking out the clause that would
have prohibited Arlington or Fairfax
County to lay fire levy within the
towns limits.
The bill was introduced by Delegates
Hugh Reid of Arlington County and
Edmund Hallen of Fairfax County at
the request of the Town Council. 1t
permits the town to lay separate fire
levy for support of the fire department
and for the installation of fire plugs.
The section which would have prohibit
ed either Arlington or Fairfax County
from laying fire levy in the town was
cut out, because it would have deprived
the Falls Church firemen of the benefits
of the Arlington Alexandria firemens
relief act.

Col. Latrobe stayed on for dinner.
and the next that Washington heard
OF him he had been detailed to this
city as the Presidents military aide.
While desk duty in Washington was
far different from the active military
duty Col. Latrobe had been accustomed
to for years, he never lost his
picturesqueneSS. He has, his friends
say. no patience with "SWanky" uni
forms and military "dandyism."
Has Had CoIorfuI Career.
Col Latrobe has had a colorful
career since he ran away from his
home in Baltimore to join the Cuban
Insurrection, long before the Spanish
American War gave him his first taste
Of soldering under the Stars and
Stripes. He was a captain of artillery
in the Cuban Army, aide to Gen.
CaliXio Garcia, and still later an
officer of the 4th United States
Volunteer Infantry.
He served through the Porto Rican
campaign. being commended for gal
lantry and in 1916 was back to Join
Gen. Pershing in the dash into Mexico
after Pancho Villa.
Col. Latrobe was the kind of officer
who would risk his life to save one of
his enlisted men, which he did in
pulling Pvt. James Lee out of Norman
Lake in Chihuahua.
During the World War he went to
France with the 82d Division for a
short period, but was returned to the
United States to command the 42d
Infantry at Camp Devans, Mass
