Maggie was so gentle that her keeper
often took her out of the cage, leading
her by the hand like little child. But
one lovely Spring day, she broke away
from him. Before he could guess her
intention she leaped for the trunk of
nearby acacia tree, and climbed nimbly
into the small branches at the top.
There was CONSERVATION in the Zoo.
For no amount of coaxing could lure
her earthward. She made it clear that
she was going to set up housekeeping
in her own way, and began to break
off branches and weave them into
crude nest, exactly as countless gen.
erations OF her jungle ancestors had
done!
Human persuasion failed. Oranges
were offered temptingly; but Maggie
went stolidly ahead with her jungle
architecture. Finally Jiggs himself
took hand.
He came to the wire netting of the
cage, and began Chattering sharply
in orangutan language.
Maggie heard him, and peered down
with mournful brown eyes. She gave
last wistful look at the beautiful
home she was building. Then slowly
she descended, took her keepers hand,
and was led back to her lord and mas
ter.
She never quite forgot the little
nest that might have been. Long after
the branches withered, she would stare
upward with melancholy eyes.

DISTRICT SUFFRAGE

Harry N. Stull Explains Drive
Before Congress Heights Pro-

Speaking before the Congress
Heights Progressive Citizens Associa-
tion last night, Harry N. Stull, men,
Der of the District Suffrage Associa-
ton, clarified the objects of the suf-
frage group.
Mr.. Stull urged the group to sup
port the fight for granting the Dis
trict a ballot box for all local needs.
Asking the association to cooperate
by joining in petitioning Congress, he
declared: There are many forms of
suffrage, such as election of a city
council, election of Commissioners, a
vote on community needs and others
which We want and cannot obtain
unless we demand our rights as citi-
Gems"
On single ballot all officers of the
association were reelected unani-
mously for the coming year. They
are Otto Garnand, president; E. M.
Richardson, vice president; Theodore
Edwards, secretary, and Mrs. Edna
Hoag, treasurer
Eight new members were taken into

NIGHT Students
ATTITUDE PRAISED
Georgetown Citizen Group
Is Told of High Ambition
of Average Pupil.

Both the per pupil cost and the
students attitude in the Districts
night school system stand in sharp
contrast to the same factors in the
day school system, Edward j. Lock-
wood, night school director. told the
Progressive Citizens Association of
Georgetown last night.
The outlay per student in the night
school averages about ST., as against
500 for the day school pupil, Mr..
Lockwood said. He attributed the
difference principally to teachers SAL
aries.
Children in the day schools have to
be pushed and driven" Mr.. Lockwood
declared, "but in the night schools
the shoe is on the other foot, and
the students drive the teachers"
Every State is represented among
the students who numbered $4,000, or
one-sixth of the day enrolment dur
ing the worst of the depression and
who now number one-eighth of the
total school attendance, Mr.. Lock-
wood said. Enrolment from the States
with the higher literacy ratings runs
far ahead of the more backward
States, he stated.
Asked if non-residents were eligible
Tor the night schools, Mr.. Lockwood
pointed out that the test of the
parents place of occupation was ap-
piled as in the day schools. This, he
said, became a bit ludicrous when the
student. as often is the case. is 40
or SO years old. These usually paid
the modest tuition fee.
The shortage of teachers qualified
Tor the courses offered in the Dis
trict's night schools presents a serious
problem. Mr.. Lockwood said. No
Government workers, except day school
teachers, are eligible, he pointed out.

STEEL |NG0T RATE
DECLINES FURTHER
Recedes to 81 Per Cent.
Suotty Trend Likely to
Continue.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The steel
industry is looking to automobile
manufacturers for sufficient orders to
prevent further drop in production
but is resigned to the belief spotty
buying will prevail over the remainder
of the year, Iron Age said today in its
weekly review of the industry.
''Ingot production for the country
has declined this week to 81 per cent
from ssh per cent last week." the
trade publication said. Operations
have dropped so sharply in some dis
tricts the present low rates would
suggest bottom has been reached.
At Chicago for example, where there
had been a decline of SO points within
four weeks, a further drop of only /
point was recorded this week. At
Pittsburgh the rate has lost another
8 points to ~ per cent, though in the
neighboring Wheeling Weirton dis
trict rise of points to rs per cent
has occurred.
Rarely, if ever, in the history of
the industry has so sharp decline in
production occurred within such a
short time. 1t is now apparent stocks
in the hands of consumers and job
bers at the end of the Summer were
larger than was generally realized by
the industry itself.
Meanwhile, the downward adjust
ment of steel production has probably
taken place more rapidly than decline
in consumption. While steel users are
living off their stocks, the time when
replenishment buying on larger scale
will be necessary is still uncertain. The
industry is resigned TO the belief spotty
buying will prevail over the remainder
of the year, but looks for a fairly sub
stantial rise in January, in line with
usual seasonal expectations.
Hopes that the granting Of higher
freight rates TO railroads would result
III an almost immediate release of
some railroad buying were dispelled
when the amount of the increases,
which do not cover rises in costs for
materials and labor, became known
No major move toward resumption of
railroad buying is now expected until
the Interstate Commerce Commission
shall have granted further relief to the
carriers"
