SciouSneSS, we ~ A'i''
are influenced by what we fear
the bystander might think of
us; and so we are not frank
about our motives or our
actions.
On the other hand, the mon
key has not developed mentally
to a point where he can imagine
an abstract idea, such as a by
stander's opinion.
He is like a human child at
the age of one or two years
utterly unconscious of self, and
perfectly frank about every
thing. It is this utter frankneSs
that we enjoy watching.
A TEST
A test has been made on a
number of monkeys in the
same cage, to demonstrate not
only their frankneSs and lack Of
self consciousness, but that they
also are motivated emotionally
as we are.
A stuffed snake was placed on
the floor of the cage and par
TALLY covered with straw. At
the same time a string was tied
to a ball, which had been kept
in the cage as plaything. This
ball was placed a few feet away
from the stuffed snake, and also
partially covered.
Monkeys have the same in
nate aversion to snakes that we
have. The first monkey to dis
cover the stuffed snake. gave a
piercing scream, and dashed for
the top of the cage, chattering
Historically. Instantly, every
monkey beat it" for the top Of
the cage, chattering and looking
about for trouble.
Finally, a monkey located
the snake. In a few minutes,
the other monkeys located it,

monkeys?
The reason
is, we recog-
nize that we
would act just
as the mon
key does, were
it not for our
self-conSciouS-
ness and con-
sequent lack
of frankness.

Stiff joints
And tired eyes
All these
Are but a mask
That doesn't really count.
And yet-the world
Believes that mask
Is me-and says,
"she'S growing old"
Then what's the use
Of yelling that I'm not?
No matter what
The breaks may be ahead.
The fact remains
I've lived
A lot of years,
And show them all
So what's the answer?
How does one behave;
How take the days
When one is growing old?,
I can, of course,
Behave in many ways
Get sorry for myself
And wheeze and whine,
And hang my peeve,
Like crepe,
On everyone I meet.
Or I can let myself
Be poisoned
BY my envy
OF the young
Use all the time
I've left
In sneering
At gay youth
Fowling it's romance
With my filthy thoughts,
Hating it's happy freedom
And belittling
Its small achievements
And its brave young dreams!
Or I can make
A racket of my age
Impose upon the pity
And the kindness
OF my friends
Demand gilt-edged conSidera-
ton
And respect for my gray
hairs
Become a petty tyrant-
Not because
I'm wiser, kinder
Than my fellow men,

Capitol guides, one might
think, should know every inch
of the building they show to the
host of tourists who go there.
Just the other day it was that
one of the feminine guides was

thousands of persons daily.

1t waS not 50 lang ago that
the Democrat leaders talked of

toWGrd adjournment. They
wdnted no playing around.
Hardly had the echoes of the
leaders pleas died in the Cap
itol, however, before many Dem
Ocrats began to ask permission
to address the House on various
subjects.
Most of the speeches would
have been political.
Consequently, every time a
Democrat asked for several min

OLD FAVORITES
Nature ByHenry WadswOrth LOngf

As fond mother, when the day is Ger,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led
And leave his broken playthings the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly treasured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead
Which, though splendid, may please him more;
So nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthngs one by and by the hand
Leads us to rest gently, that go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go stay
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what know.

Soviet Flag

Takoma Parks fire depart

night when American Legion
aires resolved that the emblem
had no place in the trophy case
Of the fire-fighters.
On motion of E. Brook Fetty,
past commander Of the Legion
post, the removal of the flag
was voted. Mr.. Fetty argued that
the Soviet had not observed the
terms upon which this country
granted it recognition and that
the Soviet Republic was not a
member Of the allied countries
during the World War.
The flag was given to the
post by former Senator Brook
hart of Iowa as part Of a col.
lection of flags.
