Difference to etiquette that would
have earned the appreciation OF
Emily Post.
But of late years Soko, in COM
mon with fellow chimpanzees as
they grow older, refused to do
his parlor tricks, got stubborn,
sulked, and had tantrums.
His entertainment methods re-
Gently have consisted of what
might be called rhythm. or swing
exercises. Waiting until a good.
sized audience collected in front
of him, Soko. with a steady tempo,
would leap up and down monot-
onously and then change his rou-
tine into evenly paced elbow
waving.
About this time soko began to
develop too much strength,
another characteristic of chin
panzees of his age. AS a matter
of fact, he got so strong that Head
keeper Blackburne was forced to
take away from the ape one of
the privileges, that of being led
about the Zoo by collar and rope.
The keeper said:
But the last time / took him
out he was hauling me, instead
of me hauling him."
From that time on Soko became
strictly an indoor exhibit, with
his latter days being given over to
swing exercise and occasional tan
trums when he became over-ex-
cied from showing off.
His decline has been slow, but
steady, Keeper Blackburne said.
About five years ago, Soko had
a dizzy spell and tainted in whirls.
He recovered within half an
hour. But he just never was the
same ape.
Steadily, death started to over
take but Soko was out to break
the longevity record for anthro-
poid apes in captivity. And he
made it. Although he was said
to be three and one-half years old
when acquired, in 1915, Blackburne
derides the estimate and believes
Soko was four or five years of
age then, placing his age at death
at about 26 years. This is the all
time high.

Marine Exhibit
ShOwS Changes
In Ships

Beginning yesterday and con.
tinuing throughout the remainder
of the month, an exhibition pre-
pared by unemployed marine archi,
tects, naval draughtsmen, boat
constructors and research work.
ers presenting survey of the
evolution of American sailing
craft will be on display in the
Boat Hall of the Smithsonian
Institution Arts and Industries
Building.
The survey, one of the WPA
projects under the direction of
Ellen S. Woodward, assistant ad.
ministrator, was accomplished
through the artistic efforts Of un-
employed persons skilled in
draughtsmen's work. The com.
pleted drawings will be bound
and preserved in the National
Museum.
A design of the passing "bug,
eye" named such because Of the
anchor bow opening through
which a lighted lantern would
flash like a June bug as it saileo
into a port, is one of the most in
teresting of the exhibits.
Another vessel, formerly used
off the Virginia coast and called
Virginia fishing bateau, shows
the development Of scow shaped
small boats with the retractable
propeller feature.
The ancient "everglade steam
ers," once the sole means of trans
portation from east to west Flor
ida, are also unique examples of
early naval architecture.

CIVIL SERVICE
EXTEN SION
DEMANDED

Legislation for the extension of
the Civil Service and the establish
ment Of a Civil Service board Of
appeals were advocated today as
the Seventy-fifth Congress opened
its first session.
Representative Edith Nourse
Rogers (R0, of Massachusetts,, vet
eran member of the House Civil
Service Committee, announced she
would support any type of legisla-
ton looking to the maintenance
and preservation of the civil serv-
ice, declaring:
"The Civil Service has been
abolished in a good many in
stances, and that is a practice
that must be stopped. We must
do something, and do it quickly,
to preserve the merit system in
Government service.
TO EXTEND SERVICE
at is also necessary that we
look to extending the Civil Serv-
ice to include many of the new
bureaus and agencies. Too many
of the workers there obtained
their jobs through politics and
are now holding their jobs be-
cause Of political influence"
Representa- tive Virginia E.
Jenckes CD, of Indiana, member
of both the Civil Service and the
District Committees of the House,
drafted a bill today providing fol
the creation of a Civil Service
Board of Appeals to Go away with
''the injustice of the present sys
tenn"
Wants Appeals Board
The Board of Appeals, she said,
would serve the same purpose as
a jury or judge in civil life, "
adding:
"The present system whereby
Civil Service workers have no
redress is un-American. In civil
life We don't automatically &C
cuse a man and then close the
case. He has recourse to a group
of his peers.
Nov, the only opportunity
an OuSted Civil Service worker
has for reinstatements rests
with political influence. That is
decidedly unfair"
