COMMENTS

Ec0rse N still place Tor many
elections. This June. the School
Board election will come up. II is
rumored that Frank Morris will not
run for reelection. SO II Is our
duty TO support some one who Is
favorable toward our group. l
would suggest men like our former
Judge Riopelle, or a well-known
man like Phil Allison. Mr.. Allison
has never run for a public office,
but has worked IN different public
offices. l have talked with both
men on numerous occasions. They
are both willing to give our group
justice. Men like these are the ones
to put into public office.
We see that police and firemen
are being pensioned. OF course.
there will have to be some replace
ments. Are we pressing our claims
for these positions? Let's not wait
until these vacancies are filled. but
start now. The budget for the COM
Ing year Is being made up now. vis-
Il the regular council meetings. al
So the special ones, and see that
recommendation are in their files
for the placing OF some members
OF our race in these vacant posi-
tions. Recommend four capable men
to the Safety Commissioners, as
they recommend police and fire.
men applicants TO the council. As
American citizens. let's demand
the appointment OF some members
of our group to fill these vacan-
ces.
We have capable men In Frank
Freeman. Delma Rodgers, Conan
che Murdoch and others from whom
to choose. Now, don't let us blow
up these opportunities, as we have
done in so m any instances. Recon-
mend someone. and let the pub
lie know who II is. Let petty griev-
ances be forgotten. when we fight
among ourselves, that Is what our
critics want us TO do. You know
what their answer to our people
is. "iou folk get together, then we
will do something for you" All
right, lets fool them. Recommend

NATURES CHILDREN
CHIMPANZEE.

Captive chimpanzees are almost
consumed with curiosity. They peep
into every corner, open drawers, un-
lock doors; lift lids from boxes and
are generally engaged in some kind
of activity all day.long.
These creatures are among the most
familiar of the manlike apes. They
have high degree of intelligence
and soon adjust themselves to life
of captivity not even remotely re-
sembling their life in the forest.
They do not forget; they simply
make the best of the new situation.
Chimpanzees dwell in the forests
OF Western and Central Equatorial
Africa. No two are exactly alike.
Their skin may be black, flesh
colored or mottled, When quite
young, It has a pinkish cast. soon
turning dark and getting darker with
old age. The hair may be scanty or
abundant and, on the head is parted
in the middle 1t is quite long on the
side of the face, though the face
itself is naked.
When walking on the ground, the
chimpanzee stands upright, ms
hands held above his head or claspec
behind it in order TO maintain
balance. In going on all fours, he
generally supports himself on the
back of his fingers, rather than the
palm OF his hands. His gait is
Evening star., 1942-07-14

chimpanzees enjoy racing through
the trees for fruit and nuts, and
this often takes them some distance
from home.
There are often twins. The
mother never leaves her baby
alone. He is taught at once to hold
fast to her, by clasping her about
the middle as far as the tiny arms
will reach. Then the mother Is
free to use her arms swinging
through the branches OF the trees.
There is much love and devotion
spent upon the younger members OF
the family by the parents. To lose
baby causes great grief. the
mother is so unwilling to give up
her dead infant.
In captivity, the chimpanzee is
gentle. affectionate and eager to
learn. BY watching carefully how
simple things are done, it is amaz-
ing how quickly these forest child
ren catch on. When things go
wrong, there is often show OF
temper, but this soon passes and
good humor is restored.
Dishes and cups out of which food
is eaten never fail to interest these
animals. Do they associate the
food with them or is 1t the novelty
Of eating from a container2
1t is not difncult to teach them

SOUND TRAVELS f.11S EekT ~ SECOND,

They go slower through cold air
than through warm air. The diff
ference is not great, but there's
enough to be measured When the
thermometer is at the freezing
point, on a calm day, the speed is
1000 feet per second At 60 degrees
above zero. the speed is l,130 feet
per second.
The figure of lbs feet per sec
ond is used, sometimes, as the
average" speed of sound going
through air in the temperate zones.
Yet it is easier to remember that
sound travels about one-fifth of a
mile a second" through air.
II you wish to find the distance
of a hill from which an echo comes,
you may do so with the help OF
stOp-watch. Let us suppose the
echo returns to your ears three
seconds after you utter a shout.
That means the hill is about three
tenths OF mile away The sound
must travel to the hill and back
again, making 1t necessary to cut
the time in half to find the dis
tance.

L wonder If Skinner the Swallow

Straight across the Old Orchard
he walked to the tree in which
Skinner had built his nest In the
summer. just imagine how sur
prised he was when, as he drew
near, Mrs. Bully and not Mrs. Skim
mer, appeared in the doorway to
see what was going on. The whistle
OF Farmer Browns boy stopped
abruptly. "Hello!" he exclaimed.
What are YOU doing there? I must
have 4 look into this. I certs inly

rollerskate, for their sense OF balance
Is able to take care OF this. They
are q nuisance when they find out
how to turn on the water or switch
on lights. Perhaps the funniest
sight is to watch the expression Of
chimpAnzee when he takes 4
telephone receiver from It's cradle
and listens to 4 voice coming over
the wire.
Chimpanzees have 4 strange, sad
expression at times. These Great
ures, 30 close to man in bodily
structure, yet comparatively low in
I. @, seem to be caught In . mental
fog. In spite OF all care and train
Ing, they can reach just 30 far and
then there Is complete inability to

Uncle Roy's Corner
By RAMON COLEMAN,


When = person shouts, there usu-
ally Is no echo" of his voice. The
sound waves keep spreading unit
they grow weak and die,
In other cases, an echo returns
The sound waves strike hill or the
wall OF building, and this makes
them bounce back.
In ancient times. people did not
know what caused echoes. so a
story was made up to explain them
In ancient Greece you might have
heard this tale:
There was once a nymph named
Echo. and she fell in love with the
son Of the river god, a youth named
Narcissus.
Sad to say. NarciSsus did not
care about the beautiful nymph He
was content to spend his time
thinking about his own handsome
face. Echo fell into deep sorrow
She would not eat, and at last she
wasted away until nothing was left
OF her except her voice"
So it was that the Greeks tried
to explain the sounds which re-
turned to their ears. They said that
the voice of the nymph, Echo, was
calling to them.
The story went on to say that
Narcissus kept looking at his face
IN . spring until he, too, came to
bis death. Then the gods turned
him into the flower which bears
his name to this day.
People of the present time know
better than to try to explain echoes
By a story of that kind. Sound
waves have been studied. and we
know that they travel at certain
speeds and can come back in the
form of an echo.
The speed Is not always the same
when sounds pass through air.

Fear, great fear. and sorrow and
anger were all mixed up together

but Farmer Browns boy paid no
attention to them. He slipped a
hand into the hole in the tree
where the nest was, and when 1t
came out it brought the nest with
it.
"One. two. three, four. five. six"
counted he as he spread the nest
open and looked at the speckled eggs,
while Bully and Mrs. Bully cried
as If their hearts would break. IF

I wouldn't touch them" he declared.

but you're q nuisance here In
America"
He walked straight over to the
tree where the nest was. Such a
fuss as Bully and Mrs. Bully did
make! Once all the other little
people in the Old Orchard would
have felt. oh. 50 sorry for any one
whose nest Farmer Browns boy had
found, but now there wasn't so
much as single peep of sympathy.
Although Farmer Browns boy didn't

I would prove myself poor friend

Take My Word for Ii
by FRANK COLBY.
Prague
Capital Of CzechosIovokio

One OF Americas leading COM
mentators does not agree with me
that Prague should be pronounced
"Praig." He says. "'Praig' is 10
provincial English that it gals me.
I am sure no cultivated English
people say 'Praig.' They accept the
German pronunciation 'Prahg.'"
I must take gentle issue with my
distinguished vis-a-vis, for whom
I have the highest regard. All
reputable authorities show "Praig"
as the correct pronunciation for the
form spelled Prague" Just rs we
pronounce The Hague IS "Haig,
and the word vague as "vaig." (See
Prague" In Webster's international,
the Winston Dictionary, the Mac
milan Dictionary. Funk Wagnalls,
and the Encyclopedia Britannica,
English edition)
The Czech form PRAHA (pro-
nounced: PRAH-hahD is the cor
rect native name of the city. The
German form Is PRAG. The e" is
pronounced with a fricative "ch"
sound as in ach. ich, dich, thus:
Pragh (ch).
Thus we see that the pronuncia-
ton "Prahg" with the hard e"
now heard widely on the air, is
neither fish nor fowl And. since
it Is similar to (but not Identical
with the German pronunciation
l should not use 1t out OF respect
for the brave, tormented people Of
Czechoslovakia. II I did not like
the English form "Praig," my
only alternative would be the
Czech form "PRAH-hah."

Su1uSeS, the teeth all
these and many more points in the body may
be the sources of the infection
Back Of the immediate cause is USUALLY a
period of overstrain of mind or body over
work, too little rest and sleep and sometimes
prolonged exposure to cold or dampness
Sometimes early cases recover by them
selves when the patient can afford vaca-
ton in healthful surroundings and have real
rest and freedom from anxiety and worry.
However, your own doctor is the only one
who can really decide just what to do.
The other kind Of arthrits, the hyper
trophic variety is caused by Just the op-
posite condition of the atrophic kind. Where
before there was lack of bone, in the hyper
trophic variety of arthritis there is too much
bone at the joint which is just the wrong
place.
Hypertrophic arthritis most often comes
to the physician only when the patient is be-
You'd so years Of age. It's incidence is so
gradual that only at this age is the condi-
ton severe enough to drive the patient TO
the doctor X-rays pictures usually show the
extra bony growths at the joints which re-
strict movement and make every motion
torturous painful experience. IF unchecked
this condition grows worse until the patient
Is no longer able to move at all.
Sometimes surgery, to grind down the af-
originally had can relieve the condition
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM may be
caused by deposited trichinae eggs that come
from poorly cooked pork. Deposits OF lime or
nests Of germs or virus may remain bottled
up in the muscles and cause it.
To victims Of rheumatism in its many
forms have this advice:
Do not indulge in the numerous advertised
arthritis or rheumatism cures or appliances
These cures" only delay real treatment and
delay expert medical advice which your own
physician can and will provide. Do see your
doctor about rheumatism. |/../
I regret that shall be unable TO give you
further advice even If you write Diagnosis
Of disease is not something which can be done
by mail and could only answer with exactly
my words Of the preceding paragraph.
Much can be done for patients who have
rheumatism or arthritis. but IL cannot be done
by remote control. or by self-treatment, or by
pseudo-scientific non-medical practitioners
