Blue-eyed John Cromartie, 81,
five feet eleven inches, was not
dealt with so easily. He wanted to
enter the zoo as a specimen, and
his proposal, made back in 1924,
still echoes occasionally in cloisters
where the talk turns to anthropol-
ogy.
The collection of animals was not
complete, lacking an example of
Homo sapiens, he pointed out, and
he offered to stop the gap.
CIT would complete the colIec-
l. tion," his proposal said, "and it
would impress upon the mind OF
the visitor a comparison which he
is not always quick to make for
himself.

IT'S that man with squirrel

Ditmars as he hung up the tele-
phone. Hes a sad case. Almost
as sad as the copperhead lady"
OF course, after that he had to
explain.
He lighted his thin-stemmed pipe,
closed the window against the
Bronx parks peacock's plant and
spoke a while of the strange re-
quests and suggestions with which
the metropolitan public fayors the.
New York Geological Society.
"The squirrel trouble man lives in
Westminster, he said. HE has
fine house, good grounds, family, all
the common aspects Of comfort.
But gray squirrels are making him
old before his time.
They put his lights out, eating
insulation of the wires. They keep
him awake nights, chewing in the
trees. Now he says he ran into four
Of them in the cellar today and
they were looking for a fight"
DR.. Ditmars told him to get state
permission to shoot and trap; he got
it, along with copious literature
telling him how to set his snares;
but the squirrels keep coming. AS

let him try poison.

Her house must have been built on
snake pit. Rattlesnakes and cop
perheads. The rattlesnakes don't
bother her much, but the copper
heads infest the house.
"She says they look so much like
pattern in her carpet she can't
distinguish them. They give a turn
sometimes"
He told her that attrition by trap
or poison would be futile, that the
best thing she could do would be
to have the grounds around her
home cleared, underbrush removed,
rock lodges that might appeal to
snakes ripped out.
"She kept on writing, though. She
thought there must be something
she could do besides that. Finally
she told us she'd concluded we
didn't know what we were up to-"
So he wrote her the only other
suggestion he could make was to
get a carpet with a new design.
Her trouble wasn't extraordinary.
Snakes venture out over radius of
several miles in summer, but as fall
comes on they invariably get back
to the pit they know as home. They
