There's a choice fur jacket scamper-

Al frolicsome chinchillas.
They represent to Mr.. Burns q
potential $64 1000; furriers say they
would make gorgeous jacket for
milady at cost of from 10000 up.
The Al silky-haired creatures,
each half the size of an ordinary
faobst, are what remain, after sales,
OF 15-year endeavor for Mr.. Burns
who says he has the only chinchilla
farm In New York State.
Mr.. Burns started in the chin
chilla business in 1925, two years
after M. F. Chapman brought IL
OF the animals to California from
their abode high in the Andes
Mountains of South America.
Mr.. Chapman huddled his prizes
In blankets, hot-water bottles and
bath towels and transported them
to Inglewood.
Three Litters q Year.
Mr.. Burns, a factory machine
operator, paid Mr.. Chapman 81 1000
for the first pair sole in this coun-
try, brought them into the rigorous
Northern climate and set up his
business for the carriage trade. Last
year he retired to devote his life to
the tiny f1uffs of hair.
Chinchillas are homogeneous and
mate for life, Mr.. Burns explains.
They mate within five to eight
months and have as many as three
litters year of from one to four
offspring. Last year one of Mr.
Burns chinchillas had quintuplets,
the third such event in the annals
OF the American industry.
Chinchillas are nocturnal animals
and spend their days inside rooted,
wire-screened boxes, in comparative
darkness. At night they frolic in
their little pens. munching on ap-
pie bark. The boxes inside are abb
solutely bare.
The National Chinchilla Breeders
Association of America, a trade
group, watches the pedigrees. Only
animals five generations apart are
mated. The association controls the
business and centers on breeding.

10 or H." says Mr.. Burns, before
there is much pelting done. There
are plenty of people who want to
raise chinchillas. and the pair price
$4,000, will stay that high for a
long time
Food, Mr.. Burns explains, is q
