The only time that “civil- ized” countries ever took any interest in Abyssinia was when they saw a chance of profit to themselves.

Ras Taff«ri seems to have a lot of logic on his side, but England has the cotton mills on hers. Tourists Pay in Belgium. Brave little Belgium has decided to make foreign tourists from gold ex- | ch countries pay double taxes on | their board and lodgings, as well as a tax of 10 francs a day on their motor cars. The foreigners, of course, can afford it—the whole thing won't | amount to more than a couple of dol a day for a motor party—but ! the questlon is whether Belgium can afford it. So far as Americans are concerned, at least there is nothing they detest g0 much as discrimination. and whether the tax is 10 cents or SL0 ! the irritation is such that thousands | of them will remember nothing of ir trip through Belgium except they were annoyed by tax col- s will not do the Belgian industry any good in the long run, nor will it help to endear Bel- | slum to the hearts of the Americans.

SAN DIEGO, Calif, September 11. —A zoo, collected for scientific and human interest, has become a big business. The San Diego Zoological Society, which started in 1922 to col- lect animals, has developed an inter- national business in export and im- | port of animals. The most important trade animal they have is the sea llon. This year to date 67 sea lions have been shipped, 20 of which went to Europe. Six more will be shipped to Japnn): {during September. The sales of these and the other animals this year have been from the zoo's own | product, while other deals are handled by the zoo as agents. Offspring of the recently acquired sea elephants from Guadalupe Is- The Packard Six is converting motorists from the costly habit of buying new cars every two or three years. The average Packard Six owner expects to keep his car more than flve years —over twice as long as the car traded in. And Packard insures that owners may keep their cars without em- barrassment. For Packard lines are preserved from year to yearsand will be preserved until something still more beautiful is found, which is unlikely. : Directors Develop International Trade.i | Exporting Sea-Lions and Circus “Pets™ to Countries Throughout World. land are in demand by all the zoos in the world, and Dr. H.

Good Profit From Sales. More bear grottoes, dens for wolves, coyotes, racoons, badgers, small cages for the rodents, small quadrupeds and cages for birds, are being installed. A huge hippota- mus “compound” will be erected soon. The sales of the animals are expected to return a good profit. Another division of the San Diego Zoo industry is the making of anti- rattlesnake-bite serum. Recently Har- vard University designated the zoo reptile department as one of the units of the institute, as exclusive manufacturers of antivenom in the United States. The poison is ex- racted from the fang-sack of the rattlers, of which the zoo has a fine | stock and the serum distributed from it. This serum is to be packed in portable cases and sold at little more than cost to hikers and out- door workers for first-aid reserve. The zoo offers prizes for the de- livery of rattlesnakes to the reptile house to be used for study. Con- struction of a new zoological hospital and research building is now under which will be open to the tists of the world.
