Lawrence, editor of the United States

sion late yesterday Of the conference OF

Mr.. Lawrence contended that little
is being done in the schools and col

knowledge that makes leadership If
25.00O young men and young women

colleges each year whose interest in
the subject of government, in the af

Indians Watch Airmail.

Indians in London are using the air
mail, but they must be sure that letters
start on their way. The collection of
the box marked Air Mails in front
of the General Post Office in London
is very often attentively watched by
both men and women, who have just
posted their inissives to India. 1t is a
characteristic trait of the Indian ma
ture which likes to be thoroughly sat
isfied that everything is just so. Hence
the anxiety to see the postman put the
letters into his collection.

Ability to Learn
Held Depleted by
Vitamin "B" Lack
Experiments With Mice
Show Impairment of
Nervous Functions.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May IA baby who
doesn't get its share of vitamin B-that
food component lurking in milk, oranges.
whole wheat, yeast and all leafy vege-
tables-won't learn as rapidly as the
one who does, if results from expert
ments with mice at the University Of
Chicago can be applied to human
beings.
Dr. Siegfried Maurer, associate pro-
fessor of pathology. told the annual
meeting of the Illinois State Academy
of Science today experiments proved
conclusively that learning ability was
retarded in mice whose early diet had
been depleted of vltamin B. His con-
clusion was that such depletion is detri-
mental to the higher nervous functions.
Nice were used, he said, because their
nervous systems like those of human
beings. are not completely developed at
birth. He also said he found that the
offspring of the deficient animals could
attain the normal level of learning
ability II they were brought up on a
Diet rich in the vitamtn.

Has don't kidnap women.

GorlllaS don't kldnap women.
Martin johnson, African explorer,
conducted an investigation through the
gorilla country to find if there was a
single case, either on record or rurnor-
ed among the natives, he told the Amer
ican Society Of Mammalogists here yes
terday.
The African natives, who have lived
all their lives in close contact with the
big apes were amazed when he uues-
toned them about it and told them
that such an incident actually had been
shown in an American moving picture
as a real event.
why Want Woman?"
One old chief said:
Gorilla kidnap woman-why? CO.
rilla no make garden. Gorilla no make
house Why gorilla want woman?"
Gardening and house building are
the chief activities Of the native women
in this section.
johnson asked the mammalogists to
go on record against fake jungle pic
ture. They usually, he said, are made
in California.
Some of the worst, Johnson said, have
been sponsored by the public schools as
educational films. He was especially
indignant, he said, over pictures Of ami
mails of different species fighting for no
reason at all and tearing each other
to pieces. Real animals, he said, fight
only when they have a very good rea-
son for fighting.
The United States now is importing
black bears, DR.. T. S. Palmer of the
Biological Survey told the manmalo-
gists. These creatures have been
slaughtered so ruthlessly through their
natural habitat, the Eastern United
States, that it is no longer possible for
hunters to supply the demand for bear
cubs for pets and exhibits, with the
result that more than 100 are brought
from Canada each year.
Seek to Restore Bears.
Pennsylvania is trying to restore her
black bears, said Leo A. Luttringer Of
the Pennsylvania Game Commission,
and by rigidly protecting them now has
more than all the other States. 1t
costs the State about $4,000 a year, he
said, to settle damage claims for stock
killed and bee hives raided by the
animals.
A strange animal that lived in Pata-
gonia about 50,000,000 years ago was
described by DR.. George G.. Simpson Of
the American Museum Of Natural His
tory. This fauna, he said, seemed to
have developed in lines parallel to the
subarctic fauna, which has resulted
in misleading ideas of relationship.
Thus the far south developed a crea-
ture approaching the horse, although
with an entirely different ancestry. An
other form developed parallel to the
rhinCceros.
The only f1esh-eating animals, he
said, were marsupials, which carried
their young in pouches. The family
now is almost entirely confined to
Australia
