Syracuse, N. Y, Feb. 5.-U.P>-
The docile bosSy, despite her leg
endary reputation for dimwitted-
ness, probably would replace the
cat as a family pet if COWS were
the size of cats, DR.. L. Pearl Gard
ner, of the graduate school Of edu-
cation at Cornell University, said
today in a discussion Of brains in

AS the result OF tests given farm
animals, the professor ranked COWS
the most intelligent. Horses are
next, then sheep and pigs" I have
my suspicious about dogs, cat and
goat but must wait to confirm
them" Miss Gardenr said.
1T is a shame that so able an
animal as the COW should ever
have received such a host of dis
respectful attributes, she said.
IF COWS were the size of cats and
cats the size of COWS, there would
probably be millions Of pet COWS

Explanation

Yesterday, for the first time
since its founding, The Daily
Independent missed its regular
morning delivery to Manteo and
points beyond.
The reason was that John
Gibson, who drives the delivery
car that serves Camden, Cur
rituck and Dare, was forced in
to a ditch near Currituck Court
House by an approaching auto
mobile that was skidding lar
over on Gibson's side OF the
road. Gibson managed to get
most of the Currituck papers
delivered by hailing down var
ious passing motorists while
waiting for a wrecking truck to
come to his rescue, but none OF
the Dare papers could be de-
Iivered yesterday morning. They
had to be sent thru the mails.
High tides, storms and Other
adversities never prevented the
mail from going thru until yes
terday. We are sorry and trust
that our readers who missed
