MONKEYS ARE JUST NERVOUS LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. —Yyou thought monkeys had fleas! You can take down the word of !Col. A. D. Dawson, who has trained menkeys for years, that they don't and all that scratching they do is Jjust plain nervousness. Even as the Colonel (he’s a Ken- tucky Colonel) blasted the mon- keys-have fleas legend, Jocko, a white-faced ringtail from the jun- gles of Brazil, sat back on his haunches and with a sly grin on his ‘wrinkled face calmly did a very | thorough job of scatching. “Fleas won't stay on monkeys,” Dawson continues. “They can't stand the monkeys and furthermore they won't get on anything that a monkey has handled,” he adds em- phatically. ‘(That’s a tip for dog-owners, says Dawson. Just get a monk to play | |with the family dog and end the' flea menace.) “Monkeys,” he says, “are like chil- drén. Some are smart and others are stupid. Also some are not physically strong enough to do any cks.” ! “Once a monkey learns a trick,”, says Dawson, “it never forgets. You, can teach it another trick and come | back to the first one weeks later, | and it will remember it.” “Hello!’ Oh Yeah! | CHICAGO, Dec. 13. — A visiting cow-hand told a Chicago editor that “out my way if you don't say hello |to folks on the second or third {meeting they're suspicious or you'll {have a flight on your hands.” The editor sent out a reporter to try rural cordiality on city folks.
