BABY BEATEN IN
LEARNING TESTS
BY CHIMP AIMEE
!. u. Psychologist Uses His
Own Child as Subject
of Experiment.

~ Tunes Special
BLOOMINGTON. Ind, May IA.
How a baby chimpanzee was
taken into a human home, reared
with a human baby approximately
its own age, and surpassed the hui
man baby in learning ability, men,
icry and cooperative spirit, was ths
strange story related here today
before members Of the Midwestern
Psychological Association by DR..
w. n. Kellogg. Indiana university
psychologist.
Using their own baby boy as the
basis Of comparison, DR.. and Mrs.
Kellogg took a chimpanzee into
their home at Orange Park, Fla,
about year ago. They sought a
thorough. scientific test of the
theory that environment plays
such large part in life that the
ape can be made largely human,
If reared in a human environment.
Results Of the experiment point
definitely IN that direction, within
the age limits reached.
Played Together
The two babies lived together un-
der exactly the same conditions of
the human home They played to-
gether. They ate together. They
we're clothed alike. The ape be-
hayed in practically all respects, DR..
kellogg reported, like their own
baby boy.
When the testing began, TO see
which had progressed the farthest
the chimpanzee actually won out
over the human being. The apes
superior progress is attributable
largely 70 its relatively shorter life
and to the fact that it reaches ma
turity earlier than the child, the
experimenter explained.
DR.. Kellogg tested the learning
ability Of the two infants by many
experiments such as tying slip knots
on their wrists and feet and seeing
which could undo the knots most
quickly. The chimpanzee did best.
Another test was that Of ability to
use the hoe or rake as tool. Here
again the chimpanzee learned
faster.
Better in Memory
DR.. kellogg used memory tests to
see which had the best retentivity.
He arranged two doors. for instance.
in full view of the chimpanzee and
the baby boy. and disappeared
through one Of the doors. The prob
lem was to see which Of the two in
fants could remember longest the
door DR.. Kellogg went through. The
chimpanzee could remember as long
as thirty minutes. while the human
baby could remember no longer than
five minutes.
The ape showed superior cooper
alton, when compared with the hui
man baby, by responding more
quickly wien called and by doing
things more readily than did the
child.
DR. Kellogg was not able to teach
the chimpanzee to speak and thinks
it unlikely that the ape will ever
learn to talk, contrary to the belief
Of one or two earlier investigators
who have reported that they sue
ceeded in getting apes to say a few
words. DR.. Kellogg pointed out,
however, that the parrot and some
other birds, much lower in the
biological scale than the ape or the
monkey, easily can be taught to
articulate human words.

largely to the making of our wide
awake and prosperous town. Our
places of business are a credit to a
town of 10000 population and speak
we'll for the progress of the town and

therein. Our hotels cannot be sur
passed for the good, wholesome meals

altitude of 2,700 feet above sea level,
pure mountain spring water, scenery
that cannot be duplicated, modern and
up to date homes, unlimited natural
gas supply, continuous electric SER
vice, are but few of the many in
ducements Oakland has to offer. In
fact Oakland has everything to offer
you that large city can, except high
taxes.
On May 1, the City officials of Oak
land, by careful budgeting, were able
to give the people sixty-eight cent
tax rate, this being the second tax re-
duction in two years. Oakland is only
two hours drive from Fairmont,
Clarksburg, Uniontown, and only
three and one half hours from Pitts
burgh, Wheeling and Steubenville.
During these summer months when
you are thinking of nice places to go
and cool places to go, drive over the
beautiful mountains to Oakland and
spend weekend with US, breathe our
pure mountain air, and you will feel
that you have added ten years to
your life. You will find the people of
our town most hospitable and cour-
teous, people whom it is pleasure
to know, and whose friendship is last

over our miles of streets improved
with amiesite will convince you that
Oakland is all we claim for it.

WATCH THE TAXES

Up to this time we have had defla-
ton in everything excepting in the
cost of government in America and
the resulting taxation. Of course, as
everyone knows, taxes are now mount
ing because of the falling off of the
federal revenues, and higher income
tax rates and nuisance taxes will be
necessary until there are added reve-
nues resulting from a resumption Of
normal conditions.
1t is obvious that there can be no
real permanent improvement in Amer
lea until taxes can be reduced, and
that the only way they can be reduced
is through lessening in the expense
of government. The one healthful
sign everywhere is that the people are
becoming outspoken in their opposi-
ton to new government ventures at
this time. Governments everywhere
state and local, as we'll as the national
government, are being importuned to
reduce their costs of administration,
and if the people who are protesting
will only translate their criticism into
votes next fall, there will be some real
reductions in the cost of government
before many months.
In fact in many; states and many
communities, genuine efforts are now
being made by officials to reduce the
cost of government. 1t is not to be
forgotten after all, that most of the
tax burden shouldered by the ordinary
man comes to him from his local gov
eminent, and it is here that the real
tax reform can commence. The Fed
eral government is always under the
watchful eye of political leaders and
the newspapers of the country, and
is the first to reduce taxes when the
opportunity arises. But it is so easy
to forget about the real burden of
taxation-the local taxes-and to TO-
Gus ones attention on the tax debates
in Congress.
If there could be some assurance
that lower taxes would be the order
of the day during the next decade,
this in itself would bring the assur-
ance of better times. In the future
the community which is efficiently
managed and has therefore low tax
rate, is the one which is going to at
tract new industries.

Mountain Lake Park, one mile east
of Oakland, is lovely Park of sum-
mer cottages and has auditoriums
with a seating capacity of six thou
sand, and is noted as a desirable place
for large gatherings and conventions.
1 could spend a great deal more
time talking to you about Oakland
and beautiful Garrett county, but my
time is limited, so extend most
cordial invitation to all my listeners

town and county, that God, nature and

from all points, east, west, north and
south. We are proud to have Oakland
as the County Seat of Garrett County.
Garrett County is considered by many
people to be the best County in the
State; it is farming center, is pros
porous and progressive, With its
six substantial banks, three of which
are located in Oakland, all with their
unlimited surplus, Garrett stands out
as the foremost county of Maryland.
The delicious peas which are served
on your tables are grown in Garrett
County, near Oakland and Accident,
and are packed by the Mount Airy
Canning company, at Loeb Lynn, just
two miles east of Oakland. This can
merry gives employment to large
number of men, women, boys and
girls during the canning season.
Nestled among the beautiful hills of
Garrett County, and resting in the
valleys and over the meadows, eight
miles north of Oakland on route 81,
lies beautiful Deep Creek Lake. This
lake is fed by mountain streams,
covers 1850 acres of land, has a shore
line of seventy-two miles and pre-
sents a scene which only the eye can
appreciate and the soul and mind
feast upon. Cottages and cabins are
numerous here and this lake is fast
becoming a Summer Paradise.
We read these words in the Scrip
lures, "God did snlite the rock and
water gushed forth from the rock"
No place is this act of God more clear
ly demonstrated than to see the bub-
bling water gushing forth from the
mountains in Garrett county and
winding its way along the mountain
side into this beautiful lake.
