OXYGEN SLOWLY
ANN|H|LAT|NG
FLU GERMS
Both Appetite and Strength
Increase, Temperature
Almost Normal

N'Gi, the Washington Zoo s
gorilla. had a very good night
and physicians attending him
said today that if he can
ward off a heart attack, he
will recover. The fact that
his heart is on the right side,
they said, is not a handicap.
NGi slept better last night. his
attendants said, than on Satur-
day, heretofore his best night.
Food placed in his cage last
night was practically all con
sumed. Buoyed up by the revivi-
flying oxygen chamber imported
for his treatment. N'Gi ate and
drank more yesterday than any
day since he became i'll.
Embraces Keeper
Again today when Paul Holup,
his keeper entered the oxygen
chamber, the little fellow raised on
his launches and Rugged him.
He gulped water with evident
relish. DR.. David E. Buckingham,
Zoo veterinarian, said all OF these
are hopeful signs.
The oxygen tanks are being
used at the rate of about eight a
day, and 25 have already been
emptied since the treatment was
started. He is kept continually in
this chamber. N'GI also is given
tonic which consists Of a punch
of eggs and port wine. He likes
that very much, his physicians
said, but they said that all credit
for his improvement must go to
the oxygen tanks.
Increase Temperature
His temperature has abated and
his respiration has dropped almost
to normal. Because of that fact
the temperature Of the chamber
has been raised to 80 degrees to
keep him warm.
N'Gi'S sick chamber is viewed
in the light. of a human labora-
tory by, DR.. John C. Eckhardt,
Washington child specialist, who
is attending the little gorilla.
According to DR.. Eckhardt:
"UpOn the outcome of N'Gi's
case rests the lives of thousands
of children. 1t needs a thing of
this sort and the wide publicity
the story has been given to con-
vince the medical profession of
the adviSability of pushing" the
oxygen treatment early in pneu.
mOnia cases. Oxygen usually is
called upon to play its part too
late in the game"
Reacts Like Child
DR.. Eckhardt has found N'Gi's
reaction amusingly and sometimes
embarrassingly like that of a
child. He places the little apes
intelligence somewhere about that
of 3-year-old human, and his
DenaVlOr is pracClcalIy lQenClcal.
He says:
"N'Gi puts up a kick about
taking his medicine just like a
spoiled baby. And whimperS for
his keeper, Paul HOlup, like a
child for its mother. He knows
we have his good at heart, but
he feels more confident of our
skill if HOlup is near by"
Holup has been one of the un-
sung heroes of the entire episode.
He has put in "a hours a day
caring for his sick charge, and
his nursing has been one of the
factors in N'Gi'S amazing recov-
cry.

the award is publicly given as a

in this award; it suggests a doubt
whether any individual, particularly
any outstanding leader, has been
as intelligent and as patient and
as generous as the undistinguished

happy. 1t recalls, Intentionally, the

part cf Cossack general. He in- VeStlgated the origin of the word CoSSack.
 Means Free Man
 Despite the fact that aCossack' means, in Russian, Free Man. there still rages a pronounced con troversy over the origin of this wild and courageous band of horsemen.
 In reading material on the part played by the Cossacks in the World War, with which @The Vir- tuous Sin" deals, I found an &C., count of how the name was de- rived from a band of Ttartars, '' Huston reveals.
 The story relates that in the thirteenth century the Tartar Chief GsnghiS Khan, with his terrifying hordeS of soldiers on horseback. swept from Asia into the country now known as Russia. These horsemen were known as Kazaks. They were fierce riders. mounted on fine, well-trained horses such as had never before been seen in this part of the world.
 Adopted By Mounted soIdicry
 Tt is claimed thst, after the Tartar invasion was checked, the name Kazaks was adopted by the mounted soldiery of the Russian communities which were formed on the border lands. notably in the Ukraine It is said that the name was afterwards corrupted into Cos sack"
 'Dishonored." Is the dramatic romance of an intriguing woman. an international secret service agent of wartime fame. It requires of Miss Dietrich almost constant change of character and of person. ality throughout it's action. Pre- sented first as the bitter and dis couraged woman of the Vienna slurns, she blossoms forth as the Of Vienna's drawing rooms and cafes.
 Character Changes Again
 Her character changes again, and she is seen as a Russian peasant woman, giggling and coy before the advances of the gay officers of the general staff. Indifference, scorn, uncertainty, alertness suc- ceed each other quickly in her ati- tudes.
 ''DishonoredD traces the remark able career of a woman, having little interest in life itself, who de- dicates her life to her country, and, as spy, pursues her country's enemies in high places.
 Ruthless In Pursuit
 Her ruthlessneSs in pursuit brings her up against rival, McLaglen, a tricky, handsome young officer, vho scorns her woman's intelligence put succunlbs to her feminine ,harm. In spite of herself, in the yanle of hide and seek they play 'ver half of Europe, Miss Dietrich s drawn under the influence of his strange lover-until,, in the dramatic climax of the picture, she ldmits defeat and accepts a new +ictory.

"e>'''N In "Daybreak, to insure absolute accuracy in the military scenes, Director Jacques F'eyder secured the services of Captain George de Richelave, both for acting and technical advice.
 World War Veteran
 Captain de Richelave commanded a compay in the 4th Regiment of Austrian Uhlans Gancers) during the entire World War. He served three years on the Russian front and one year on the Piave (Italian). Previous to that time he served for another country in one of the Balkan wars.
 In addition to acting, de Riche- lave taught Novarro, c. Aubrey Smith, William Bakewell Kent Douglass, Glenn Tryon and other members of the cast the innermost secrets of the Austrian drill manu- al in the brilliant military days before the war.
 Highly Sophisticated Drama
 "Daybreak' is an adaptation ot the highly sophisticated drama by Arthur Schnitzler, the viennese author and playwright Helen Chandler plays opposite Novarro and Jean Hersholt has a promin- en trole.

Then, in desperate realization, the father bares his own sins in a dramatic appeal to jury to save the ehild's happiness.
 Support Is Brilliant
 Miss Shearer is ably supported by a brilliant group of players. Leslie Howard gives ainished performance as the millionaire sportsman; Lionel Barrymore scores an outstanding portrayal a. the drunken lawyer father; Clark Gable is effective as tlle gambler and excellent wrok is done by James Gleason and Lucy Beau mont.

 Two Expected To Sell
 The Vivian, Capt. Charles Lar sen, with 1000 pounds, and the schooner Norland, Capt. Thomas Sandyik, with 1,500 pounds, had net accepted the 5 and 3 offer early this afternoon, but the opin- ion expressed around the Exchange was that at these figures both catches would sell here by this ev- ening.
 The schooner Norland had to re- turn to Juneau, after having made one cast of hooks on the ocean banks, because of a broken rudder. With fish in her hold, she imnle- diately went on the Municipal Gridiron.
