founder of the Public School's Explor-
ing Society, Commander C. Murray
Levick, himself an explorer of life-
long experience.
Commander Levick was with Cap-
tain Scott on his last Antarctic expe-
dition, and was :once held prisoner
with five companions for seven
months by walls of Antarctic ice
-which hemmed them in on all sides.

the hazards of exploration. All refer
to him fondly as "The Admiral."
Many adventures are, perhaps, the
better for being unexpected. In 1934
when the schoolboys were exploring
unknown territory bordering the Gan-
der River in Newfoundland's interior,
one lad disobeyed orders not so much
willfully as out of curiosity. His or-
ders were to stay with another boy
in charge of a depot camp, instead,
he decided to do a bit of pioneering
on hie own. As he climbed higher
into mountainous land, fog came ern,
then hard rain- Suddenly the truth
flashed on him. He was lost. He
sheltered under a fallen tree, trying
to build up a wall of birch bark round
this "hidie 'hole" to keep. put the rain.
That night he slept only an 'hour.
He wore very light clothing, and

Exploration First
But always exploration counts first.
"Playing at a man's game," just
doesn't enter into it. By efficiently
mapping the Gander River territory,
the boy explorers have helped the
Newfoundland Government in creat-
ing a new wild life reserve. .
There is still hoPe of discovering
traces of the Boethucks, an •Indian
race who roamed the land long be-
fore the white man's coming, being
its original possessors. Their tribe
is new extin'c't; but somewhere, no
doubt, in the interior lie relics of its
existence.

The- Red Hat
It was e beautiful hat. .Mrs. Evans
didn't'+ need a new one -she really
hadn't any right to a new one. But
the black one she had bought the
month before suddenly seemed dingy.
"It's terribly smart," the salesgirl
purred. "And it's an original design.
You'll never see another like it." e
Mrs, Evans put it on and admired
het self in the mirror. It was quite
ext ere --probably- a little too dash-
ing: but It was unusual and she
thought, the handsomest hat she had
ever seen. It was red,- a deep, rich
red, slightly on the terra-cotta side.
['he crown was quite high and there
was a small but rakish brim. A red
veil was drawn up in the back and
could be pulled forward over the
eyes. She couldn't resist it,
"I'11 take it," she finally announc-
ed. "I'11 take it with me."
The salesgirl disappeared with the
hat and her money. While Mrs. Ev-
ans waited she visualized herself 'n
the new acquisition. and considered
its ,possible effect on various people.
Lt would undoubtedly cause comment.
Harry might not pay much attention
to it. He probably wouldn't even ,be
cross. But Billy would think it too
extreme. "Mother," he would ex-
claim in disgust, "it's for a young per-
son." And Sally Withers - t h at
would be the test. She wasn't quite
sure what Sally would think. "I'll
wear it at lunch today-," she planned,
"and then we'll see,"
The girl returned with the hatbox
and her change. "Here you are, Mrs.
Evans. I'm sure you'll be happy with
it."
"Thank you," she smiled, and hur-
ried -out to get a bus.
When Mrs. Evans arrived home, it
was nearly twelve -thirty. She was to
meet Sally for lunch at one. She un-
packed. the new 'hat and admired it
for a minute. Then she hurried to
freshen and change. Before she knew
it, it was one o'clock and she rushed
to the elevator powdering her nose.
By hailing a taxi, she reached the
hotel at a quarter past. Sally wasn't
in the lobby, and when she inquired
at the desk there was a note -"Ruth,
dear, awfully sorry I can't make it.
I tried to get you all morning. Will
call you this evening. Love. Sally."
"I'll have lunch There, anyway," Mrs.
Evans consoledsherself. "Now that
I've bought a new hat acrd dressed
for the occasion, I'.11 have to."
She entered the dining room and
sat at a stmall table near a window.
After giving her order to the waiter,
she leaned back and looked around
her. There were a Tot of people. Sil-
ver and dishes :clinked and an occa-
sional laugh; „broke out above the gen-
eral buzz of vol13es. Then she saw
her hat.
It was on a woman three tables a-
way -the identical hat. Mrs. Evan's
felt suddenly cionfused. Her salad'
came, but she couldn't enjoy it. She
couldn't stop herself from stealing
glances. She hoped 'desperately that
the woman Atone: h°t notice her. She
glanced tows,rd her again and she
looked up. Their eyes caught for a
second. Mrs. Evans turned quickly
away, blushing r'ightl'y. As the wait-
er took her 11'aif.ei!nPty plate, she
looked again, and again; she caught
We women's eye She stilled a ner-
vous little half seine, Searched a-' One-
Zoos -.More Humane
Than 'You ; Think
(Wilsoml 'Chanitberfalin in . Scientif ie American).
Recently an animal lover excitedly
told 'the dineeter Of a large zoo that
a polar bear had evidently gone mad.
The creature was pacing up -and down
endllelssl!yl within a self-imposed limit
of five or six feet, 'apparently too
listless even to tont its great paws,
wthich it kept tsilliking along. But the
director uuiy smihedt,
"Dorn't worry;" the said- "Ale polar
bears do tthart fronts time to time. It's
instinct They think ,they're on e
slippery ice floe and are .being care-
ful not to go too near the edge."
The set.ioms of ,other animals in
captivity are often straiten), +m.ieu.n-
dereiloadl. When brown bears, for ex-
ample, stand for hours( just lifting
one paw and then the other, they are
merely following an .age-old custom
of padding down the snow. And it's
not fleas that make 'the monkeys
seem- each 'other slo intently, but a
.passion for salt which they remove
bit by bit from scaly skin, plus an
innate vanity fop grooming. Actual-
ly, few monkey's, have parasites.
Don't think that the mere keeping
of wild animals in captivity is duel.
The birds you pity in a two -foot cage
live marc longer than if they were
free; aid' cif their cages were larger,
they might break their wings. The
fox deprived of its freedom to run
may make you indignant; but a fox
runs primarily to traek fold and es-
cape danger: when weld -fed and at
peace, it does not stray from its lair.
Elephants like to be chained; other-
wise, lacking a feeling of security,
they'd trumpet all ni'gh't in fear. Un-
derstanding this, native keepers in
India fashion a chain of straw for
each of the'i'r Charges rather than
make •them pass the night fearing
lest their food be stolen and their
bed (a source of particular pride) be
de'stnoyiedd by the ether elelthantst
Of course, in some backward zoos,
and in the bear-art-a-filli•n -station sort
of menagerie, animals are sometimes
cruelly mistreated. Several States
have remedied this situation by laws
Which forbid the keeping of animals
in captivity without official supervi-
sion.
But the well-run zoos have high
standards of diet, comfort and clean-
liness. The fire animals they have
are too expensive to mistreat or neg-
lect. In Chicago the air- in the lion
house is changed every four ,m notes.
Tropical plants do more than .provide
attractive settings; they regulate the
moisture. Some zoos install electric
humidifiers. To keep the penguins
cool in hot weather requires 200 lbs.
of ice a day in their shelter, or elec-
tric refrigeration, ro that the animals
are in a veritable icebox behind a
windrow. And when you see a hip-
popotamus with a baby, thank the
zoo man for having built a large en-
ough• bath: the hippo breeds and
gives birth under water -for security
=•while the baby nurses under water,
going up for air and down for milk.
Many zoos have a quarantine sec-
tion where new arrivals are attended
by white -coated doctors who wouldn't
dream of not washing their hands be-
fore going in to the leopard, lest they
infect it. These gttarantine 'cages
are deliberately small: after a long
sea voyage an animal's bones are
brittle and it is nervous; in a large
cage it might rush the bars and
break its neck or legs.
Courtesies to apes and monkeys
could fill a book. To insure having
strong adults, young chimpanzees in
the Chicago zoo get nascent oxygen
i.um'ped into their cages to supply
the pure air which their delicate lungs
need. To make sure they sleep the
full 12 hours they are accustomed to
in the dark jungle, blinds have been
put up outside their sleeping boxes
in the zoo at Munich, probably the
finest primate house in the world.
There each ape has its own blanket,
sent to the laundry every week. To
check pyorrhea -common in apes --
their teeth are brushed daily, while
sortie zoos use concentrated vitamins
to combat it. In other zoo sun lamps
are used.
Personal attention is essential for
apes. Frequen't'ly a chimp becomes
listbe(ss' because._i•tis being tyrannized
the other apes. The leaders are
to grab the.. favorite food, like
atoes, leaving th.e potatoes to the
weaker ones! A tyranny which can
be Winded only by a keeper's discip-
line.
Concrete is the bane of every con-
scientious zoo today. When original-
ly installed, it was thought superior
to wood. But it is cold, hard and

heartily. The woman stared without

smiling, nodded her head, and tapped
at her bat with ane finger. The wo-

Mrs, Evans ate her dessert without
looking up. S'he paid her- Lill and,
gathering up her handkerchief and
bag, rose to leave. As she found her
way out 'between the tables, she had
to pass in front 61 the woman in the

Evans suddenly realized, it was. real-
ly rather funny, after the first shook
was over. It was a joke; really very
funny. She laughed straight at the
woman, tken turned and made her
way to the door.
Walking through the lobby, she
stopped in front of a mirror and took
otit her compact. She leaped slight-
ly forward, lifted her powder puff to -

mirror. Her hand stopped half -way

silica composition used in Chicago
and Washington costs 'thousands, as
do other improvements. In those
zoos which have plate glass separat-
ing the apes from a coughing public,
mmortality rates Pall phenomenally.
But where to get the easih?
Zoos used to be the foible of In-
dian prineee and, later, of European
kings; though the first zoo on re-
cord, in China, about 2000 B. C, was
state finalnced, called the I•ntelii!gence
Park, and run for scientific study.
The eaodern' zoo, however, is rarely
•endowed and it is only as the public
interest increases that muni'cipali'ties
or states can vote larger 'budgets. On-
ly a few, like New York and Lon -
den, have been fortunate enough to
receive kepi tenet private, grants.
But even without- much 'money, im-
agination can still accomplish, a lot.
More and more, modern zoos are go-
ing to endless trouble to evolve
swings, bars and trees to amuse the
apes. You may 'have noticed in the
.elephant run of 'some' zoos a formid-
able rough -surfaced pillar: it's a back
scratcher! In at least one zoo you'll
find another bit of thoughtfulnes's'-
running water in the raccoon's cage,
because the raccoon habitually likes
to wash every bit of its food in a
running brook! In' the Washington
Zoo tthesers an ingenious device to
make the two -toed sloth enjoy its
food: a rack from which bananas are
suspended, so the sloth oan hang head
down, nibbling from • tht bottom' up,
instead of having to eat on the
ground! Brushwood in the fox's cage
costs little, but gives the fo x the
pl'ea'sure •nf 'brushinng against it and so
stimulating his coat to a beautiful
Sheen. Sometimes they give an an-
imal a pet; a fox terrier is often
strangely comforting to ran elephant.
Sometimes a goat is put in with the
rhinoceros, In the 500 -acre country
zoo of the London Zoological Society,
the wolves have two two-aere pad-
docks of 'timberland, used alternately.
In each paddock is a big platform like
a feeding table; it is -there because
the wolves like to dig, under it for
nvating.
The greatest single advance in zoos
is the prinoipl•e: of viewing animals,
not behind bars, but across moats.
Fifty years ago when Carl Hagen -
beck first envisioned natural habitats
for animals andopened hi•s zoo, peo-
ple gasped with fright as they saw
lions emerging from pock caves and
(heading straight for them. But a 17 -
foot water ditch separated the lions
from 'the public; and lions will not
cross water. It is strange that Am-
erica has been so s1'ow to adopt this
idea which hras' swept all over Eur-
ope. Only in our most modern zoos
do you find 60 -foot -high monkey moun-
tains, crags for the Barbary sheep,
and great sand paddocks for the ele-
phant separated from the public by
a narrow ditch hedged by a low row
of iron spikes which the elrephant
will not tread. u Zon.
Lions bred in captivity are actual-
ly handsomer and more healthy tban
those in the jungle. Their size and
coat are superior because they get
better food; their col'or,is unfaded by
the tropical sun, and their mane is
more luxuriant because it's not torn
by underbrush, And they live a rip-
er age. It is an. odd fact that most
animal lovers never think of old age
in the jungle. But for wild beasts
there is no graceful autumn of life;
there is only a ghastly, inescapable
disintegratilon,;'•.or death from more
alert •enemies. It is this senile loss
of power --and usually only this-
whioh drives a lion to man -killing. In
freedom a lion rarely lives more than
10 years. In captivity he lives to 25
and 30.
From the great 'museums of na-
tural history, such as the one in New
York, the modern zoos have borrow-
ed the idea of having the three waist
of the cage painted to represent the
natural habrtat-tnruch more effective
than just presenting animals in bare
cages.
Top-flight Soo men are devotes' to
making their animals happy for their
own sake and dramatic for your sake.
T'hey spend endless hours studying
the latest dietary discoveries: such
matters as a report that shrimps are
preferable to cuttlebone in preserv-
ing the 'beautiful rove -color of the
flamingo. Or you find them up in
the middle of the night to make sure
the polar bear which has just had a
oub-an anxious m!onvent as the cubs
often die of pneumonia. -is utilizing
the straw put into her cage on the
odd ebance that she would use at to
keep the cub warm (and, she did!)
Or you watch them setting off on a
journey halfway around the world to
settle some (housing problem as whe-
ther gorillas thrive outdoors during
winter (as Philadelphia believes) or
indoors' (as London believes').
In Munich there ,are parrots on
stands in front of the elephantt pens.
Their obatitening, 'helghrtened by' the
tropical vegetation, gives a brilliant
semblance of the jungle. In Leipzig
the palter 'bears have a diving board
of green plate glass: with water slip-
ping over it, it gives- a wonderful il-
lusion of ice. In London' the pen-
guins are on different levels: now
you're looking up at them; now you,
see them walking around a curve
right next to you as they march in a
stately trot down the ramp to their
,swimming 'poop. In! Berlin you see
seals swimming not ,Only on the sur-
face, but th'ere''e a 'iloWer level"
where you see them under water.
London does the same trick with pet-
er bears. In Philadelphia tele 'be'av-
ers are given a full latae, wiberedn they

ing.

more than. curiosity? Fortunately,
the average man values the zoo -be-

realization of the world's past; some
contact with nature; same humility
