Knowing little about turtles except
that one patient, tortoise once
whipped bunny in foot race. Mrs.
Josephine Gibson Knowlton thought
she better write letter.
Her two children had a couple of
cute chelonians and as a doting
mother, she thought she had better
become conversant with the lives
and times of the common turtle
to keep peace in the family.
A telephone call to the Zoo here
indicated that turtles had success
fully kept their lives deep secret.
No help there.
Then the letter to the late DR..
Raymond Ditmars. famed zoologist
and scientist. DR.. Ditmars answered
in words as long as turtles neck
but admitted between the lines that
there was a whole lot he could learn
about turtles.
So there was only one answer. Do
it herself. She would make her own
studies of the lives and times of the
common turtle.
That was nearly 16 years ago and
today, by intelligence and the pa
tience of one of her 40 turtles. Mrs.
Knowlton has become one of the
| foremost authorities on the tank
shaped animals.
She still has one of her original
two turtles-"Mama" The other
was "Papa'-though Mama was
Papa until Papa laid an egg and
Mrs. Knowlton discovered that like
Dr. Ditmars she had a lot to learn.
Determined to study the turtle,
Mrs. Knowlton added to her collec-
ton. On drives into the country she
picked up turtles from the sides OF
the roads. All kinds, mud turtles,
musk turtles, brook turtles-even
snappers.
AS her collection grew, her knowl-
edge increased.
All the turtles had names. Besides
Mama and Papa, there were Donald,
Skippy, Glad, Bronzy and, of course,
Virginia.
Virginia. after II years, still re-
mains hel favorite. Virginia is quick

bunny in a race), responsive and can
sit up.
Virginia has been the best little
egg layer of the lot. She matches
about six babies a year which since
Mrs. Knowlton has had her adds up
to 102 turtles.
Virginia also makes a neat nest.
There are good and bad house
keepers among turtles just the same
as among humans. The eggs are
laid in a hole which the female
carefully digs. AS the time ap-
proaches, the female picks just the
right spot.
Mrs Knowlton's home for turtles
consists of a spacious yard in the
rear and to the side Of her home at

inside the house.
AS a fitting climax to her patience
and her quest for knowledge, Mrs
Knowlton has written a book on

Nine. Chang Returns

CHUNGKING, July 5. - Chang
Kai-shek returned by plane to this
war capital yesterday for a joyful
reunion with her husband, the Chi
nese generalissimo, after an extend
ed tour of the United States and
Canada.
Weary and airsick she landed at
the airdrome here in transport
plane piloted by an American crew,
ending her 15,000-mile journey
which began last November 18.
The time of her arrival was kept
so secret that not even the gener-
alissimo was informed. Conse-
quently he was not at the airport to
greet her and only on her arrival
at their home here were they re-
united.
