There was nothing in the day's news to encourage-an expanding market in- terest. The sharp drop in the averaire price of twenty stocks, of 53 to a new lolv for tho index of 23.28 in a very large measure reflected the 8 1'01"‘? break in Dominion Glass to close at 51. in a turnover of only .55 shares.

ELEPllANTS DUE FOR SPRING CLEANING—MONKEYS MISC!!- IEVOUS

Where do circuses go in the win- tor time? I know now, and I want you to tell the children.

'I'iiey go to a sunny land where it is as warm in January as it is on those bright spring days at home when we all tread the sawdust trail to feed the elephants and listen to the seals play “America?

Being a circus fan I hunted up the winter quarters of the Fggest Show on Earthfwhlie “down here."

And there were the tigers, the lions and the bears, the girafies, the elephants and hippos living in state. All of them have not only cages but big grassy yards also in which to exercise, and in the case of the hlppopotami, large tanks of water in which _ they may cool off when then livish. The sea-ls and the ‘big colossusé-yqil kiiowhthaii enor- mous affar that/takes a whole railroad train’ t0 hirnseiiL-are on an island out on the GulfCoast.

ELEPHANTS DIRTY

The forty elephants are as black as coal. They are due soon. how- ever, for their spring scrubbing, and I gather that this house clean- ing of thick elephant-hide is n0 small Job, from what the keeper said. When you sec them next

, May they will be as clean as sand.

Now here is a. bedtime story, if you still tell them, and don't. be- lieve that telling stories at night keeps the youngsters awake. In fact ii; is two stories-and both are monkey stories.

BILL 1S SPANKED

The first is about Molly and Bill. I forgot to ask their names, but that will do. Molly and Bill are two black cimpanzees about as tell as an eight-year-oid child. The caretaker happened to be in their cage, s big affair outdoors, very clean and sunny. He sat down on a. chair and Bill was pestering him for a. goody of some sort. He would jump up on the man's lap, put his arms around his neck, lsy his head on his chest and coax.

Mr. Smith (why not?) would put. h'm down. Then Bill would scream with disappointment, Jump up and down and best his long arms on the ground. Then he would try other tactics, and get up end look in all of Mr. Smith's pockets. Mr. Smith would laugh and push iilm away. This performance was repeated over and over and fnslly Molly de- cided her son needed reproving. She crossed the cage and Spanked the teaser-two or three whole- some waiiops. “Now will you be- have?" The most human gesture I ever sew. Bill behaved.

Next door were two orange out- engs as red as chow dogs, with ihc same long hair, but six times as big. They were walking about lice men. Let's call them Ecidc and Lou.
