The painters laid down their
brushes. Sammy and Billy shook
their cage bars. One came loose.
Sammy and Billy climbed out and
headed toward the paint cans.
Ten spectators we're in the
monkey house but kept their dis
lance as Sammy grabbed a paint
brush and started to initiate the
painters. He painted the floors,
the ratings and started on the
wall. Occasionally stopping to
view the spectators, Sammy held
the brush in his mouth, paint
dripping over his body.
Billy stood by Sammys side and
consequently got paint in his fur.
THEN the chimps decided to
l. have additional fun at the
expense of the ten spectators.
Sammy laid the dripping paint
brush on the floor at the feet of
a spectator. AS the man stopped
to pick it up, Sammy grabbed it
and scampered away. He repeat
ed the game" several times.
In the meantime, Billy selected
Henry Hartman of Cedar Rapids,
Ia, as his victim for his pranks.
While Mr.. Hartman amusedly
watched Sammy, Billy bounded
across the room, grabbed Hart
mans hand, using it for a swing.
Billy's weight spun Mr.. Hart
man around. Il feel like a human
merry-go-round," Mr.. Hartman
said later.

GROCERY SUCCUMDS

Horse Racing Figure.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 81. - James
Butler, 10, leading figure in horse
racing and founder of the grocery
store chain which bears his name,
doed last night.
Mr.. Butler entered the grocery
business in 1882 when he staked a
former newspaper man to $4,000 to
open a grocery store on Second ave-
nue., under the name of P. j. O'Con-
nor & Co.
Two years later he bought out his
partner and incorporated the James
Butler Grocery Company. In 1909
he controlled 200 stores in New
York, and forty-three in Cleveland,
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Five
years ago his fortune was estimated
to be in excess of $30,0000OO.
Mr. Butler built the Empire City
track in Yonkers in 1898. Later
he gained control of the Laurel
track in Maryland and an interest
in the Juarez track, in Mexico.
Among his thoroughbreds was the
famous QUESTIONABLE.

BIZ United Press
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 21.-Attor-
General Emilio Portes Gil
issued a decree today that was re-

complete naturalization of church
property of all sorts and denomina-

Church edificeS, residences, schools

1t was held that many churches
had transferred property to groups

Therefore, Attorney Portes Gil

TT is difficult to imagine Ogden
i L. Mills as Republican candi-
date for the presidency in 1886.
It is even more difficult to imagine
the Republican party adopting a
low-tariff platform. Still TINS Is
an age of surprise and paradox.
Here is the Democratic party,
for instance, the party of Jefter-
son and state rights, indorsing a
program of Capitalization and
bureaucracy. While some Demo-
Gratis merely tolerate the program
as an emergency measure, others
accept it as permanent.
Of equal significance, Hiram
Johnson, ProgresSive-Republican
of California, will probably be
supported by the Democrats when
he runs for reelection next tall,
while David I. Walsh, Democrat OF
Massachusetts, may be supported
by the Republicans.
We are doing lot of things ana
thinking a lot of things right now
which we did not expect to be
doing or thinking ten or even five
year ago. The new deal bears lit
tie resemblance to Wilson's new
freedom, and the prevalent attl-
tude toward banking bears less re-
semblance to what it was in 1928.
Four years ago Herbert Hoover
was still a popular idol, while
eight years ago there wasn't a man
in the country who could have
beaten Coolidge.
We are not only swapping lead
erS but ideas at tremendous rate.
If the process continues who can
pick the idols or obsessions that
will be in vogue decade hence?
TINE very absence of deep con-
i victions suggests that we are
milling like scared cattle rather
than staging well-considered
revolution, as many seem to think.
Unless all signs fail, this just
is a fluid season in our national
life, with emotional hunger for
recovery at any price as the driv-
ing force. Whatever works is &C
ceptable. Whether it will be
acceptable next year, even if it
works, is another story.

PARIS AVERAGES
ONE BOTTLE OF
WINE A PERSON
Daily Figures Include Men,

in Capital.
BIZ United Press


PARIS, Feb. 21-A bottle Of wine
a day is proving bad news for the
general practitioner, who has fewer
ailments to cure, because Parisians
have learned the efficacy of mod
crate bibulation.
Men, women and children of the
French capital average one good
bottle of wine a day, according to
statistics just revealed by tax re-
ceipts. Within the past two months
Paris has consumed 100000 liters
more wine than during the CORE
spending period last season.
The Paris population is estimated
at 4628,637, with an unestimated
number of transients, and records
reveal a consumption of 1886, 1899, $50
bottles of wine 1863, 551 400 liters)
during October and November, Or
$685. 54 bottles per day. During
the same months of 1882 the wine
bill was for 329 1859, 125 bottles.
The annual consumption of wine
for the 1928 season was 950,575
quarts This was somewhat under
the previous year, but the first two
months of the current season, dur
ing which drink more wine" cam
paign was waged, brought the figure
higher.
Wine drunk in moderation and
continuously is an excellent pre-
sentative of health, according to the
doctors, whose profession it tends,
therefore, to curb.

Before a keeper arrived, Billy
sneaked through the crowd and
kicked a few other spectators and
Sammy slapped several.
When keeper Max Mall ap-

the keeper, who started in hot

as though nothing had happened.

M. E. Tracy Says

Just before the armistice was
signed we thought we wanted a
league of nations. 1t was not
long afterward that we made up
our minds we didn't. For twelve
years we maintained the prohi-
bition farce. Now we wonder
why.
Unless future historians are
kinder than those of today, they
will write down this epoch of IN
tellectual Laundering as a sad
commentary on higher education.
We can't seem to hit on an idea
that is worth retaining, or if it is,
we can't seem to resist the temp
tation of shelving it for a new
one. Thinking, like travel, APP
pears to have become a matter of
speed rather than dependability.
Well, it can't go on forever be-
cause of the overhead. Well soon
run out of taxes, even if we do
not run out of ideas. Our one
hope consists of converting some
of those ideas into bread and
meat.
We have displayed plenty of i'm
agination when it comes to setting
up administrative agencies, but
very little in the field of new and
constructive projects.
What this country needs is en-
terprises that will create new out
lets for capital and labor-some-
thing like the steamship, railroad
or automobile era, something that
will force all of us to relocate, re-
build and reshape our habits of
life.
This country never can find
prosperity through doing old
things in a bigger, better way.
It's future, like it's past, hinges
on it's power to conceive and carry
out original undertakings.
