the existing treaty for limita-
ton and reduction of naval
armament was the pretense that
its underlying principle hurts
the self-respect of nations"
theoretically, the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance ended at the
Washington Conference of 1921
1922. But when it comes to
building up sea power, Anglo
Japanese cooperation seems to
remain in full force.
England's Idea
Those Americans must have
short memories who forget that
the demand for the Washing
ton Conference for the limita-
ton and reduction of naval
armament originated in Lon
don, and was endorsed in Toxic.
At tn at time, the United
States had under construction
a naval program that insured
supremacy on the seas for the
American Navy. To prevent this
country from attaining such
supremacy, London launched a
campaign which fin ally cul-
minated in the calling of the
Washington Conference.
The result of that confer
ence was the sacrifice by the
United States of its program of
new naval construction. Instead
of naval supremacy, the Ameri-
can Government agreed to a
treaty of naval limitation and
reduction designed to give to the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan equality of opportunity in
those areas of the world in
which operations for the protec-
ton of the commerce and ma
tional interests of each of these

Greetings to the Legion
The Departmental Convention

The Departmental Convention
The assembling of the annual convention of the Dis
trict Department of the American Legion is occasion
for display Of the feeling of pride which the National
Capital has for its who served in the World War;
ut k therefore, proper that the formal opening of the
convention tonight should be matter of cty-wde in
terest with military and civic organizations uniting
extend best wishes to those who wear the colors of the
Legion.
The convention meets this year of the city s
most noted historical spots. The Paul Junior High
School is but short distance from Fort Stevens where
the Union Army turned back force attacking the Ma
tional Capital
It at this place that Abraham Lincoln stood under
the fire of the attackers calmly watching the disposition
of the forces which huying up Georgia Avenue to
defend the Capital.
Assembled such spot these warrors of later day
will have added inspiration for holding true to the pa
triotc ideals which have animated them in the past and
which are essential now if the nation is to endure
In these troubled times when experiments in gov
ernment being made not only abroad but at home
WELL it is fitting that the represented in the Legion
should evauate each change it is made testing by
the time honored principles of those who founded and
who have preserved the nation
Here in Washington the Legion through its many
posts is taking enarging part in civic affairs
It's participation in these affairs is welcomed by all who
have the interests of the community at heart
There many local endeavors which fall within the
particular province of such organization the Legion
and by active participation in those endeavors the Le
gon members enhance the gratitude which the city
already feels.

memory is extraordinary, and
keepers at the New York Zoo
can tell you a hundred stories
of how they remembered per-
sons who had been kind to
them and others who had
played tricks upon them. Years
may pass without an elephant
forgetting the most trivial Incl
dent.
More than any other animal,
except perhaps, the dog, the
elephant understands man best
and most quickly bows to his
will. They are creatures Of
curious likes and dislikes, and
the story has become classic Of
how Khartum, the largest ele-
phant in captivity, at his death
a year or so ago. took a fancy
to a pair of robins which, year
after year, built their nest and
raised their young in his en-
closure.
He was a terror to mankind
in his latter years, too danger
Gus to approach closely. He
was as destructive as a cyclone.
He could pick any large lock
ever invented. But he loved
the robins and displayed a most
amusing paternal interest in
their domestic affairs.
Fourth comes the gorilla on
DR.. Blair's list, the most diff
cult of all the apes to estimate
because it's life in captivity is
short and it is not nearly as
amenable to man as the other
apes. At present DR.. Blair, DR..
Raymond L. Ditmars and other
biologists of the great park are
making a close study OF the
pride of the ZOO, a young lady
gorilla named Janet. She IS
past five now and has thrived
remarkably.
Fifth comes the domestic
dog, mans old friend and loyal
companion. Long association
with man has sharpened the
intelligence of the dog and de-
veloped to a remarkable de-
gree it's capacity for training.
Next comes the beaver, that
wonderful little engineer OF the
forests. DR.. Blair is not among
the wiseacres who insist that
the beaver works solely by
blind instinct and would as
soon gnaw down a telephone
pole as a poplar tree, upon
whose bark it feeds. The
1lOISC ID SCNCA4GAA OAA OAAS NP
and then comes the sea lion,
the bear and the domestic cat.
A great many persons fond
of cats and convinced Of their
unusual intelligence will dis
agree with our natural his
torian of the Bronx Zoo on
this rating, but it was made
after innumerable tests.
Here, then are the ten most
intelligent, but scores of other
species are by no means lack
ing in thought capacity. Rats
and mice have it, and birds,
and even the bovine creatures
in some degree.
A fascinating subject this.
Keep it in mind the next time
you visit your zoo.

Thousands flock daily, these
hot summer days, to the great
geological park which New York
city maintains in its northern
borough of the Bronx. It is
the same in all large cities
where intelligent municipal gov.
ernment provides for little peo-
pie and grownups collections Of
birds and beasts drawn from
every region of the earth.
This writer, visiting the am
pie kingdom of horn and hide
and feather which his good
friend, DR.. w. Reid Blair, the
director, rules over with benevo-
lent wisdom, the New York Zoo,
and strolling from enclosure to
enclosure and cage to cage, OBJ
serving My Lord the Elephant,
the chimpanzees and orangs,
the busy beavers and all the
rest Of the denizenS OF DR..
Blair's domain, was struck with
the thought that animals, tame
or wild, have a greater think
ing capacity, probably, than
ever we give them credit for.
He asked himself the Ques-
tion: does human vanity, the
million-year-old habit Of arro-
eating to the human mind the
monopoly of thought, make a
serious error? And with that
thought in mind he put the
question up to the zoologist who
has spent more than 80 years
Of his life in the observation
Of the mental, as well as the
physical traits of the innumer-
able creatures under his care.
And DR.. Blair's answer was
that all animals think. Even
that which we call animal in
Stinct" is, in DR.. Blair's judg-
ment, direct intelligence, hand
ed down through thousands or
hundreds of years and. become,
in a way, automatic, though no
less intelligent because Of its
natural and automatic express
sion.
OF course, there are great
differences among animals and
species of animals in thought
capacity. DR.. Blair made a list
Of ten Of the most intelligent
creatures, naming them in the
order Of thought capacity. At
the head of the list he places
the chimpanzee.
OF all animals, the Doctor
holds, it has the greatest power
of original thought. It is ini-
tative to a startling degree, and
capable Of being trained to per-
form skillfully many of the SIM
pie activities of human beings,
such as eating at table with
knife, fork and dish, of dress
ing itself and going to bed and
arising at stated hours.
If human beings had adopted
the chimpanzee or the orang-
utan as its faithful friend and
household companion, and had
trained the apes over a million
years, as dogs have been trained,
extraordinary results would
have been obtained, according
to the great zoologiSt Of The
Bronx.

Caesars Wife
And the New Dealers

= Codes of fair competition if they to bring about
that business Utopia which the college boys believe they
can realize under regulation must be- like Caesars wife,
.'free from suspicion
SOME OF THOSE CODES EVEN NOW HOWEVER,
ARE IN PROCESS OF BECOMING SUSPECT BE-
CAUSE OF THE QUESTIONABLE ANTICS OF
THE NEW DEALERS WHO AIDED IN IMPOSING
THOSE CODES ON VARIOUS INDUSTRIES.
It will be remembered that even the ubiquitous Gen
eral johnson could not handle all Of the codes and he
called to his aid several deputy administrators of the
Blue Eagle
With fine patriotism and loyal zeal these gentle
men placed their brains and their ability at the disposal
of the most imposing of the nations alphabetical dcta
torshps.
For the modest stipend of $6 900 per they spent
few months studying the of industry and out
of the supendous knowledge thus gained they aided in
the writing of the codes which to solve all the ills
Of industry and put America back on its feet.
These codes, telling business men how to their
businesses (Which they had been running all their
ives) were put into effect.
And then was discovered that business had to hire
somebody to explain them the codes by which was
governed.
AND, 10 AND BEHOLD, WHO BoBs UP TO AD-
WITH-oR EvADE-THE CODES BUT SOME OF
THE IDENTICAL PATRIOTIC AND JEALOUS C1TI
ZENs WHO HAD BEEN DRAWING THE $4,000 TAIL
FEATHERS FROM THE BLUE EAGLE!
Of course these patriotic brain boys not working
for industry for $4,000 year. No. indeed! They
learned lot while they with NRA.
They learned enough to know that what they learned
and who they knew were worth than $4,000 to in
dustres parts of industries which had to know the
why's and whereores of the codes and their operation
So these patriotic and Jealous citizens are now recev
ing according to authentic reports ranging up to
$4,000 per annum.
DOES ANYBODY DOUBT THAT THE REASON
FOR THE INCREASE IN THEIR WORTH IS DUE
TO THEIR SHORT BUT INTIMATE ASSOCIATION
WITH THE NATIONAL RECOVERY ADMINIsTRA
TI0N?
DOES ANYBODY DOUBT THAT THEY OR THE
CODES WHICH THEY HELPED TO WRITE ARE
NOT NOW IN THE POSITION WHICH CAESAR
PRESCRIBED FOR HIS WIFE?

that "the tirle has come when
the shackles of international

and the shackle accepted in the
Treaty of London repudiated."

Her frantic, clinging hands, the love
and pity i'll her eyes, pierced the boys
tortured soul. His lips shook, a sob
choked him.
Nancy's arm slipped about his neck,
she drew him along, she held him
tight She understood how her mother
felt. 1t couldn't happen, it mustn't!
She had dragged him to the back
door now
"Roddy, 60 up to your room-Fll

whispered, as if she thought her ia

He stood irresolute, half pushed to
the kitchen door. 1t was dark in there
and silent and he could GO TIP the
back-stairs. The thought Of his own
room and his white bed--where he
had slept as boy-suddenly leaped
on him and pinched him with sharp
little pain, needle thrust beside the
great pain he carried with him. He

Her mother had come upstairs with
her to see Roddy, and Nancy had
coaxed her away from his door and
into her own room. No one had
thought of sleep that night and it was
daylight now. The soft gray Of the
dawn crept in like mist, and they
heard suddenly-in their broken paus-
es-the twittering of the birds in the
