THE National Geological Park Is
l one of the finest institutions
of its kind in the world New

of its kind in the world. New
buildings are being erected
with every new device to ia
cilitate maintenance and animal con-
tentment, and the Identification of
the grounds has been part of the
scheme of this splendid park. Few
ZOOS are fortunate in having the natu-
raj setting, and In addition to the
valuable exhibits, the institution Of
fers a wonderland to picnickers and
ut-of-doors people at this time Of
wear, when Spring has come to the
Zoo.
An interesting development can be
seen by visitors at this time. The
antlers Of male deer drop of each
Spring, leaving saucerlike plates which
soon develop into bumps. These grow
quickly into antlers covered by hairy
skin, and then the deer is said to be
"in velvet" In the Fall, the blood
vessels dry up and the antlers turn
into bone; the deer rubs the hairy
skin of and then the animal is
equipped with a new set Of weapons.
While the blood flows through the
antlers, the deer is more than care
full, inasmuch as serious injury can
occur to his crowning glory. The
growth of velvet can be observed each
Gay, and it Is amazing to see how the
shape Of the antlers develops during
q weeks observation. +
It Is the custom of the deer to bear
| their young during the Spring. So
far, the only birth at the Zoo among
the deer Is the little Axis fawn, which
has no fear Of man and gladly ac-
cepts milk from the keepers hands.
A remarkable observation Of all young
born In a zoo is their friendliness and
affection for the keepers, and as they
| grow they always look upon the man

the visitors, the other els the real
attraction during warm weather, for
at the time that the keepers come
along to clean the cages preparatory
to feeding, he enjoys a shower from
the hose, and at the keepers invita-
tion plunges into his pool and stand
ing up on hind legs enjoys the full
force Of his friendly keepers spray.
Even the reptiles seem to feel that
the season Is changing. This is the
time of year when all snakes not IN
captivity stir in their sleep and think
of crawling from their denS below the
frost line and Of warming their chilled
bodies in the sunlight. Until Summer
is really positive, they return to the
dens during late afternoon and early
morning. Snakes are subject to definite
climatic changes; temperature af-
fects them instantly and it can be
too cold and too hot for them. Snakes
must have shade as well as sun, mas
much as the reptile cannot stand di-
rect hot sunlight If 1t runs the tenn
perature much over a hundred de-
grees. Experiments have shown that
they die quickly by too much heat as
well as from too much cold.
In the Reptile House, temperature
and humidity are controlled. The
tropicals demanding moisture and
warmth receive this in the same man
ner as specimens coming from arid
regions are kept in dry air. Instru-
ments and delicate controls are in the
hands of competent keepers who are
ever ON the alert. The effect Of the
season causes the reptiles in the Zoo to
be slightly restless, and at no time
will the visitor have a better oppor-
tunity to see everything in motion.
Spring fever seems TO have infected
the park, The animals supply their
own remedy for this by doing Just
what you or I would like to do, but

Split on Ruling

Oman, Neb.. June %, (By R. G.
White for ANP)-A ruling that "a
branch office has no jurisdiction il
removal Of officers" which wa:
handed down by Walter White, ex-
ecutive secretary of the N. A. A
C.. P, has caused a distinct rift ii
the ranks of the local branch of the
N. A. A. G. P, and a futile effort
was made here last week to have
delegates to the National convention
instructed to seek to have Article 4
of the Constitution, upon which the
ruling was based, stricken from the
Constitution.
The case bringing about the rift,
involved the action of a vice presi-
dent Of the local branch, G. G. Gal
loway. in connection with the brutal
assault made upon one George
Crumbley by Melvin ]. Levin, turn
key at the city jail. According to
the reports, Crumbley had been ar
rested, charged with beating his
wife, as he, along with his wife, was
being carried to his cell, Levin
whipped him numerically.
Levin was suspended from duty by
the Chief of Police and it is alleged
that C. C.. Galloway interceded, ask
ing that the officer be restored to
duty, which was done. Sergt. Isaac
Bailey filed a complaint against Gal
loway, charging that by his action
he was "conniving to defeat the pur-
pose for which the N. A. A. G.. P.
was organized" and sought his re-
moval from office. When the mat
ter was brought before Mr.. White.
he declared that under Article X of
the Constitution of the national or
%ganization that the local branch
could not remove the offending Of.
ficer.
The members of the local branch
expressed the feeling that since the
body was empowered to elect its of
ficers, that it should also be EN-.
powered to remove any officer guilty
Of fragrant misconduct. Leaders il
the move to have the Constitution
amended to provide this authority
declare that a statement from assist
ant secretary Roy Wilkins, that the
cast in question was obviously a mat
ter which the branch itself should
have taken appropriate action, diC
much to the notification of the plan.

INCREASES
ENDOWMENT

Tuskegee was established bv an
appropriation Of $1,000 BY the
Alabama Legislature for a normal
school for the training Of colored
young men and women, but no
provision was made for land.
buildings or equipment. This
made it necessary to appeal to
the public for funds. From The
beginning the work was locally
supported by friends throughout
the country, but always the needs
of the school have been greater
than its available resources and
the head of the institution was
compelled to spend the greater
part Of his time on the field in
quest Of the funds necessary to
continue In operation and to sup
port the ever-expanding program
of activities. In this way at the
passing of the founder, the plant
had expanded in value to $1,482,-
TIC and the permanent endow-
ment to a little more than $780,
900.
1t was long realized that this
method of financing the school
deprived the institution of the
necessary administrative over
sight for is best development.
this in mind, a special campaign
was launched in 1927 for increas-
ing the resources of the Institute.
At the end Of two years the
schools endowment was increaS-
ed to nearly So, 000,000 and nearly
100000 were put into new
buildings, repairs and general i'm
provements. AT the same time
the annual budget for operating
expenses was increased to nearly
more than $67, 900 but this has
been reduced during the economic
crises, through which the country
is passing.
Influence Extended
Paralleling the advance made in
education, material growth and
financial security, is the expan-
sion in the influence exerted by
teh Institute. From its begin
ming Tuskegee Institute projected
its activities into the life of the
Negro race as a whole. Not only
did it touch young men and
women on the campus but it
reached back into the homes and
communities from which they
came, with the improved methods
DDS in agriculture, a program for
better home-life and general acti-
vities for the promotion Of better
health, business advancement. the
buying of land, building of homes,
the erection of schools and what
ever interests vitally affecting
the Negro race.
The leadership of Tuskegee In
stitute in work Of this kind has
continuously expanded and has
extended the influence Of its
presidents led five presidents Of
the United States to seek his
counsel and help in problems of
administration where Negroes
were concerned and to the estab-
lishment Of the United States Vet
terans Bureau Hospital No. 81 ad-
jacent to the Institute, represent
ing one Of the finest and most
modern equipped institutions of
its kind being operated by the

WILL YOU HELP!

To the Editor of the Chronicle:
May l make an appeal to your
readers for the destitute lepers in
100 colonies throughout the world?
Through no fault Of.their own they
are suffering from a terrible disease
that makes them Outcasts. Every
day little children become infected
because a diseased parent is not
properly cared for.
Money and bandages are needed.
Any amount of money will be
most gratefully accepted. $40 will
often cure an early case, using the
chaulmOOgra oil treatment; 81 will
provide food for a month; So a warm
blanket.
Leper colonies can never have
enough bandages. Tear old sheets,
towels, and napkins into strips 3 or
S inches wide, roll, and pin with a
safety pin; or send any white ma
terial except gauze and the patients
will make their own bandages. WO-
mems clubs and societies for young
people can do a noble work here
which will cost them nothing.
Please send contributions, checks.
