Zoo and would press food, wine,
beer and dessert on his guests,
while he made do with half a
glass of milk and half a pack
Of cigarettes.
| DR.. Mann ended his Sheldon
travelling scholarship from Har-
ward in 1916. He looked
around for an ideal job, one
that would let him spend half
his time collecting and the
other half working on ants.
The Agriculture Department
had just such a dream assign
ment in the Bureau of Ento-
mology. And as before DR.,
Mann was impressed by the
fact he could get money for
doing what he wanted.
He travelled for the bureau
until 1925. One of his jobs
was assistant director of a
biological exploration in the
Amazon Basin in 1922.
In 1925 he became director
of the Zoo here. In 1926 he
married Miss Lucille Quarry, q
pretty writer-editor in the
Bureau of Entomology, who
survives.
During the courtship. the
future Mrs. Mann became in
ured to her suitor's fascination
with Zoo specimens.
Once he escorted her and a
girl friend of hers to a ZOO in
New York. An official of the
park invited the three to the
reptile house to inspect a rare
exhibit. Miss Quarry shuddereo

would wait outdoors.

where she could stand even tt
