Guns Easy TO Buy.
Recent months have disclosed that in
the District of Columbia, Mr.. Hastings
said, it is very easy for any one to buy
firearms, and for any purpose, legitimate
or criminal. He urged support Of the
bills introduced in the Senate by Sen
ator Capper, chairman of the District
Committee. and in the House by Mrs.
Mary T. Norton, chairman of the Dis

except Mr.. Blackburn and the keeper
who feeds him.
But the big chimpanzee adores the
veteran keeper who all his life has
been like foster father to him. When
Blackburn enters Soko's cage the ape
will throw his arms about the keeper S
neck, excitedly try to talk to him and
caress him like a long-lost friend.
Something of Blackburn's way with
animals was shown in the lion house
yesterday when it was desired to move
the big Siberian tiger into an adjoin-
ing cage. The tiger would not go
through the opened door so long as the
zoo attendant remained in the neigh
borhood. Blackburn simply thrust his
arm through the bars Of the cage,
stroked his neck, spoke softly to him,
and the tiger went into the next cage
without further protest. There he was
rewarded by further petting.
Instantly Recognizable.
There is something about Blackburn
which makes the animals remember
him. Some of them who have been
moved from Washington to other ZOOS
have recognized him instantly when he
has visited them years afterward and
have shown unmistakable signs Of
pleasure at his appearance. One rea-
son for his success with the animals Is
that he always makes their acquaint-
ance when they are babies, takes care
of them when they are sick and treats
them unsentimentally but kindly.
Thus they become conditioned to him
as a benevolent influence. Another
reason is that he always acts squarely
with animals, even the most intract-
able. He doesn't try to manage them
by trickery-something an animal re-
sents as quickly as human being.
But behind it all Is the understanding
which has come from years of expert
ence.
