the extent Of a monkeys

noises, consists of putting him
into a cage about three feet
long and two feet high. At
one end is a closed window

monkeys head. For any view,
the animal has to push per-
sistently against the window,
which opens after a certain
number of pushes. His re-

The outside world, in this
case, is a few neighbors en-
gagged in their ordinary mon
key business. After the visual
treat, the window closes and
the monkey starts trying to
open it again. His behavior
is recorded automatically by
electronic devices which show
the frequency with which he
pushes in a given period. The

about courtesy. Oh, yes. they may have
read etiquette books, and know how to
make introductions, and the like, but
are completely ignorant when 1t comes
to real courtesy.
Courtesy is, at bottom, kindness.
Etiquette, with all its rules and reg
ulations. is just the best way civilized
humanity has found for oiling the
wheels of everyday conduct.
When human beings came down out
of the trees, and then out of the lake
dwellings, onto the shores of the world,
they found themselves facing two great
problems:
One, how to escape the animals.
Two, how to escape from each other.
The world we live In today is. in part,
the end result of those two major en-
deavorS.
Getting the best Of the animals. with
their limited brains, was not very hard.
but when it came to escaping from other
humans, mankind found itself in both
a dither and pickle. as the saying is.
And it is still going on.
It was discovered, after long cen
turtles, that polite society was the
means, and being courteous the way.
It is an amazing thing to realize that
as little time, ago as 800 years. man
could have his hands chopped on. or
his tongue cut out, or even his life
taken, for, the most trivial offense.

sons. notably lords Of the realm, were
given power to try and instantly hang
any one taken in thievery on their
property.
The gradual evolution Of what we
call polite society from such beginnings,
and in very short time, as time goes.
is a remarkable feat. but there still
are limitations.
One Of these is that pointed out by
our correspondent. Some human genes,
we are told. simply will not mix. The
whole subject is shrouded in scientific
mystery, but enough is known by every
body alive
Every one knows others who will not
be kind to one. There seems to- be an
invisible antagonism. Probably it is one
Of the penalties we pay for belonging
to the animal kingdom. Even the lowly
creatures often show each other kind
ness, which Is. after all, courtesy. But
there Is the ape, the hog, the mule
These and many other typical ami
NAL traits survive in many humans
and it Is not strange that now and
then every one Of US becomes the butt
Of one or more. This is particularly true
in large organizations, where many
types gather for an appointed work, but
don't all coaleSce.
Some one refuses to speak? Well, let
him! Give him taste Of the same
thing. and maybe it will bring him
round. If not, who cares? Well, maybe
q little, but not too much.

A Lonely Task

Where are the advisers and aides who
appeared In countless numbers when the
Christmas tree was waiting to be trimmed? It
is time to take down the tree now, and little
help would be welcomed.
But the person who, a little more than a
week ago, insisted there were too many red
lights on the left side Of the tree, and proceeded
to shift them all to the right, now has important
things to do in the kitchen.
The one who hung the tinsel and colored
baubles on the lower branches now is out some
where in the neighborhood, comparing the rel-
ative merits Of Christmas tricycles. The sounds
of hammering and saving, coming from the
basement, indicate there will be no help from
the master electrician who not too long ago
supervised the testing Of the wiring and bulbs
and commented knowingly about lights in series
and in parallel.
And so there is nothing to do but proceed
alone with the business Of taking down the
Christmas tree. It is one Of life's lonely tasks,
this post Christmas chore. It receives notice
only when proper care is not exercised, and the
tree drops needles as 1t Is carried across the
living room Next time there win be the usual
concern about where one put the ornaments
when the tree was taken down. But right now
there Is job to be done, and 1t is one which
VIII have to done alone. We had better get to it.

Tax Complaint
]. Fenwick Shugrue.

Referring to the tax situation and
your comments thereon, I would like
to point out that one of the most ex-
penSive tax items to collect Is the So
ctal security tax.
II people knew how much these col
lections cost from point OF computation
to determination of amount finally due
beneficiary. they would insist upon a
change.
An item Of tax relief Il think it one
of the beSt) that would not cost any,
thing in revenue. would be relief from
social security deductions and the re-
porting thereof. This would require
the appropriating of funds for annui-
ties. but it would be Offset by savings
in administrative costs.
Another item of revenue which
amounts to little and which, to me,
Is most unfair, and must cause re-
sentiment by many. is the practice of
taxing the few individuals who are
lucky enough to win contest prize
They are poor people. as a rule, and
the prize is their one chance of inde-
pendence. yet the Revenue Bureau
treats such prizes as earned income. I
have never won q prize, but ! view
such taxing as confiscatory and thus
unfair.

"This person simply fails to see me.

and gets surprising results.
