wives appear among mans closest

Experiments with chimpanzee
husbands and wives to bring out
these traits were described to the
American Psychological Association
here today by DR.. Robert M. Yerkes
Of Yale University.
A male ape named Pan-in the

matched for month with three diff

day an observer would slide into the
cage tasty tidbits both animals
would want, even if they were not
hungry.
The first female was the dutiful
wife. She was docile and subInis-
sive, and never claimed morsel her
mate wanted. Most of the time she
got nothing
The second female was the typical
"vamp." She practiced the arts of
allure in primitive form. She pat
ted and petted the male, scratched
his back and picked lice out of his
hair. AS result, she got a much
bigger share of the tidbits at all
times than the humble, adoring first

RUSHVILLE, Ind. Sept. Sex
actly two months before the presi-
dental election, Wendell L. Willkie
today called on Republican leaders
from % States to get an aggreS-
sive, organized campaign under full
steam"
He invited nearly 100 national
com m t eemen, committeewomen
and State chairmen to discuss or
ganization problems with him over
lleaping plates of fried chicken,
cream gravy and mashed potatoes

The meeting was described in ad-
vance by the Republican presiden-
tial nominee as the largest of its
kind planned for this year. 1t was
designed primarily to cover States
outside the Solid South which he
will not visit in his forthcoming
Western tour.
Says Campaign Is Crusade.
This campaign is not an ordinary
one" said Mr.. Willkie in brief talk
prepared for the luncheon. 1T is a
crusade for national unity, rehabili-
tation of the domestic economy and
building of national defense
He explained to reporters, how
ever, that the gathering was not
intended basically to consider party
policy but to get the party organ
ization into high gear
No InSonI1 "
Martin sent word at the last minute
that congressional duties would keep
him in Washington, but John Ham,
ilton, the National Committees ex-
ecutive director, was among those
coming here for the meeting. Sem
ator Vandenberg of Michigan. an
unsuccessful contender for the pres
idential nomination, also accepted
an invitation.
Enthusiasm Not Enough.
Mr.. Willkie asked as many of the
group as possible to talk with him
individually. but to all he extended
this message:
Go back to your States and have
meetings with your county leaders.
Then get them to have similar meet
ings with precinct workers.
Il have received fine reports from
various parts Of the country of tre-
mendous enthusiasm and interest.
But that is not enough. There must
be organization in Nation. State,
county and precinct"
Mr.. Willkie will meet tomorrow
with Midwest farm editors. He
talked yesterday with 81 members
of the labor division of the Michi-
gan Republican Committee. Leslie
Butler of Lansing. Republican State
chairman, told reporters that two
thirds of the group undoubtedly
voted for Roosevelt in 1886"
81 was glad to see," Mr.. Willkie
said afterward. that they under
stood what really is involved in this
campaign-the preservation of our
American way and free enterprise
under which both labor and capi-
tai prosper"
c. L. Daniels of Grand Rapids, an
nouncing that the delegation had
pledged full support to the Repub-
lican candidate, said Mr.. Willkie told
the closed meeting that he was "op-
posed to conscription of labor or
Government supervision of labor
unions"

Historic Old Fort
 Opened To Public
Fort George on Canadian Border Now Historical
 Shrine-Dates All Way Back to l797

Niagara On- -The-Lake, Ont, July c4 - Without fanfare or ceremony, historic old Fort George. recently restored under the direction of the Niagara Parks Commission, was opened to the public this week as a historical shrine. This follows the restoration of Fort Erie, which was completed last year.
 According to the Honorable T. B.. McQuestion, chairman of the Mag ara Parks Commission and also Minister of Highways for the Prov ince of Ontario, the two old fort resseS are more than mere points of interest to sightseers. They are symbolic of the increasing under standing and friendship along the worlds most peaceful border. The fact that they had to be restored after years of not being occupied indicates that from a military point of view the forts are of interest merely for studying ancient, and not modern. strategy and defense.
 Fort George, in its present con- dition, presents the same appear ance as it did during the troubled years preceding the War of 1872. The old structure was originally erected according to plans drawn up by Lieutenant Governor Simp- COG, in 1797. Completed in 1799, it became the principle British post on the Niagara frontier until 1913, when 1t was stormed and seized by American troops, who promptly built their own, smaller fortress within the original walls.
 Forced to evacuate their own troops hurriedly in December of 1913, the Americans had no time to dam age Fort George before withdraw ing, and the British reseized it with no trouble. It was this new concep- tion of the fort that remained for many years, until 1t was ordered abandoned by the Canadian forces following the erection of a new fort at Mississauga Point.
 Tn considering the restoration of both Fort Erie and Fort George. the Niagara Parks Commission took into consideration the actual historical interest in each. This is why Fort George, in particular, was repaired and restored to the appearance 1t presented in 1799. Admittedly 1t had been changed in 1913 by American units, but this later version was never attacked, nor, indeed, defend- ed any too well by its builders Hence the decision to reconstruct that version which had passed through greater moments of Can- adian- American history.
 To visitors to Canada, both Fort Erie and Fort George are within easy reach one of the other. Fort Erie is located at the southern end of inc queen Elizabeth Way, Cam ada's newest super-highway, which xlfns ol miles from Fort Erie, across fhe Niaeara River from Niagara FalIs, N.

 You're broke, aren't you?" Eony went on. Daley nodded.
 "Okay. I thought so. I'm giv- eng you a chance to wipe out what you owe me, and make some more hesides-without any danger"
 Daley moved uneasily in his Ehair. What you want me to do is fix some plane this guy is gonna fly SO that he won't know 1t until its too late-huh?"
 That's the idea. You can do it, cant you?"
 Easy"
 "All right" Tony said. "1t's a heal."

 Don't be sap" Tony said. "What have you got to lose?"
 "All right, all right" Daley agreed hastily. Only don't see what you're gonna get out of it."
 Nothing"
 "Then what's the idea?"
 ''None of your business. Is it a deal, or isn't it?"
 "sure. Nothing else can do."
 '@Jhat's better" Tony was more amiable. Nov look. You can find out at the airport what ship this guy is likely to be flying in, and when he'll fly it alone. Then"
 The two men settled down to discuss the details of their plan.

answers tell him I am out? I'm sure he won't stop here"
 She felt that she really was through with him, and 1t was with excitement and enthusiasm that she drove Georgette to the airport, late one afternoon.
 Georgette was to solo. It was her dreamed-of, hoped-for day. They talked only of flying as they drove along, and of the ground work and additional hours of dual instruction Anne must have be- fore she would fly alone.
 Dick was waiting for Georgette, standing beside the trim little ship she was to use. Even though he impressed upon his students that their solo flights were only an- other step in their training, he recognized that the occasions ale ways were most important.
 His long and intimate friend- ship with Georgette's brother had given him a special interest in her work.
 She had been an apt bupil, and her friends were sure she'd be as famed a pilot as her brother. Georgette had repeatedly demon- strated her proficiency in the fun damental maneuvers, and had shown herself capable of handling the ordinary emergencies and problems of flights, take-offs and landings. Now she was to try it alone.
 Douglas helped her into her parachute, talking easily, though earnestly, as he helped her adjust the rigging.
 You'll be fine," he encouraged her. Ely her as though she were your car, or that Sailboat of yours at the lake"
 Georgette waved to Anne and climbed into the ship. Most of the very important first steps had be- come automatic to nsr. She looked at the mechanic waiting to swing the prop. put her hand to the ig- milton switch.
 "Offp
 'Contact!" and the engine was turning over and the wheels re- leased.
 Georgette,s take-of was smooth, but her climb a bit too steep, and Dick and Anne watched the ship apprehensively. But as she cleared the tree tops, the climb became gradual, and the ship was level be- fore 1t was over the familiar golf course. Georgette turned it to the right and followed the regular route that formed an imaginary circuit about the airport.
 During the next 10 minutes, Captain Douglas watched the plane in all its turns, climbs, glides and straight flights. Then 1t turned once again into the wind and headed for the field. It came in slowly, but Georgette put the nose down too far, and the light ship bounced twice as its wheels struck the ground. She taxied over toward the hangar and brought the plane to a full stop. Immedi- ately, Douglas was there, con- her, telling her to take It up again, and come in a bit easier.
 On the second attempt, the ship was landed more smoothly, and pleased and thrilled Georgette was

 ''Tomorrow, you'll start ad. vanced maneuvers," Dick told her. At the usual time, 3 o'clock. And I'll send that brother of yours night letter before I take of to- night. I'm going to get a few night hours tonight with that cabin ship we took to North Point"

 "Georgette," Anne said as they walked to the restaurant for a coke, You'll never know how glad I am you talked me into taking flying. And" she hesi- tated, T take back all the horrid things I said about Captain Doug las."

Surinom Is Netherlands Largest Amerieon Colony IN 1867 the Dutch traded New A York to the English for Suri- nam, or Dutch Guiana, a section of South American jungle, sand- wiched between British and French Guianas. In 194o, with Germany occupying the Nether- lands, Surinam and other Nether- lands colonies in the New World assume greater importance under the U. S. Monroe Doctrine.
 An Indian woman of Surinam is pictured on the semi-postal above, one of an issue of four, picturing women of the colony: Creole, Javanese, Hindustani and Indian.
 Dutch Guiana is almost five times as large as the Netherlands, has a population of l71,000, of which almost half are Hindus or Mohammedans from the Nether- lands East Indies. Paramaribo is the capital.
 Equally important under the changed European system are the Netherlands West Indies, includ- ing Curacao and Aruba. Most of Venezuela's oil is refined at these islands. The worlds largest oil refinery is located at Curacao.

SURVIVAL AFTER DEATH

The possibility of survival after death
has intrigued mankind from the earliest
days of RECORDED life. Primitive man had
an idea that there would be an after life
and the American Indian dreamed of the
Happy Hunting Ground l.tff
Modern individuals take. for granted,
upon religious grounds, the survival of the
spirit after the death of the body. They
believe in Immortality but no matter how
strongly they believe they do not have
proof of it.
Science has set itself to the study of
the possibility of proving Immortality
While no definite proof has been adduced
there is little yet to disprove the theory
widely held by man.
In London. several years ago, there
was begun a twO-year investigation of evil
dence to support survival after death. Re-
Gently the Dean of st. Paul's Cathedral dis
closed his belief and reported that the in
vestigation had shown that after fraud,
deceit and illusion were discounted there
remained residium of established facts
that suggested a hypothesis of survival.

ct is evident that some persons survived
bodily death but the investigation could
not show that all persons did" He said
that some persons apparently made con-
taets with some source of energy that
reinforces natural endowrnents and gives
them unification of purpose that makes
them most formidable.
Christian believers have long main
tanned the individuals can commune with
God and that from His storehouse acquire
supernOrmal strength for the trials of life.
In fact, a good Christian takes such be-
lief on faith. as is entirely proper. Just
the same, there is no reason why scientists
should not seek to establish the truth by
scientific methods. No harm can be done
and some doubts might be removed.

OUR SUMMER BREEZES

The move instituted recently by the
Florida Association of Publicity Directors
to form a Selling Florida" group aimed
at encouraging tourists to visit. our state
during the summer months, is a good one
likely to bring considerable business to
Florida merchants during otherwise dull
and in-between season periods.
Under Craftsmanship of editor w. F.
TherkildsOn, the move is gaining Roadway
as planned last weekend in meeting of
publicity men of the state at Tampa fol-
lowed by a joint meeting with the Com
mereiaf Secretaries Association in the same
city. Chambers of Commerce statewide
are, now furnished with complete details
of the plan and much in the way of pub
licity of all kinds is expected to be re-
leased soon.
The Citizen subscribes heartily to the
premise that, by and large, Florida is
grand state in which to spend a summer
vacation. Especially along the East Coast
with its fine beaches is this so. Perhaps
some of the inland territory might be
''bit warm for ideal climate during sum-
mer mOnths-but, the point we want to
make is that, of all sections of Florida, Key
West is Incompatible as a summer resort
And who can deny this fact?
Favored by constant breeze blow
ing from off the Atlantic or Gulf, Key
West chalks up the best summer tempera-
lure CT any locality in the state, therefore,
is entitled to first rating as the ideal sum-
mer spa, : Our city is reached by steam
ship or by a magnificent ride over the
Overseas Highway bridges in buses of the
Florida Motor Line or in private cars.
And we expect announcement shortly of
the Inauguration of airline service to Key
West which will complete the transpOrta-
ton story.
The Selling Florida" movement then
cannot fail to list Key West in a top posi-
ton on the itinerary of must resorts for
delightful week or two at anytime during

conquest of Poland Today air
planes are any army's eyes, even
as they are a great offensive
weapon, and a blind army is a
beaten army.
The $4,000 warplane request, of
course, entails a lOng-term pro-
grant is estimated that il viii
be at least a year and a half be-
fore our factories can turn out
that NUMBER annually. OF more
immediate concern is a speeding
up of the army and navy i'm
provement program started
months ago. More troops, more
guns, and more and better anti
aircraft protection, more tanks,
better protection for battleships
against air attack, accelerated
munitions production, great
air-pilot training program-such
matters as these are to be at
tended to with maximum speed.
For the experts have been sud
denly convinced that there is no
time to waste. If Alaska, with its
tiny white population, were cap
tured, the entire Pacific Coast
and much of the Western in

of enemy airfields- And from
Greenland, Bermuda, parts of
Latin America and other places
where an invader might establish
bases, today's swift and deadly
bombers would find it an easy

So the, grim story runs There
is some debate as to details of the
Presidents program-such as
his proposal that S2O0,OO0,0OO be
appropriated TO be spent at the
Executives diScretion-but al
most no question as TO its neces-
sity in general One suggestion,
made by Mr.. Hoover and others,
Is that we should thoroughly in
vestigate what has happened TO
past military appropriations be-
fore making the new ones-many
believe that there has been great
waste and inefficiency. This may
or may not be done-under any
circumstances, il is inevitable
that we are about to embark on
a mountaineering military bet
terment campaign.
From the economic point of
view, this presents many grave
problems. With a distorted bud
get and a gigantic debt, il will be
tifficult to raise the hundreds of
millions military expansion de-
mands without further disturbing
our tOuchv economic structure.
But as a White House spokesman
when fire approaches
your house you don't worry
about how to pay for extinguiSh-
ers-you charge them and con-
slider ways and means to meet
the bill later. And that seems TO
be the general attitude now
