REAL ESTATIR. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 24 1928. ! E. REAL ESTAT BIOLOGISTS STUDY RHESIS MONKEYS Seek to Penetrate Mysteries of Life With Aid of Primates. BALTIMORE, Md. (#).—The sccrets‘ of the very beginning of individual hu- man life are being sought by the depart- ment of embriology of the Carnegic Institution of Washington with the ald of a growing colony of monkeys in its | laboratory at the Johns Hopkins Unl-’ versity. The value of these little primates | in the effort to solve some of the remaining mysteries of human life, health and behavior, as explained by | Dr. George L. Streeter, director of the | laboratory, lies in the fact that they | can be observed more closely, accurately and freely and controlled more easlly | for scient!fic purposes than is possible ! with the larger apes or human beings. This is greatly facilitated, he says, by their possession of all of the funda- | mental reactions of man without any | of his secretiveness. The laboratory now has 47 Macacus | main floor contains a large drawing room, g HUSETTS PARK SECTION E NEW RESIDENCE IN MASSAC [ Home in French Renaissanee style, recently completed at 2850 Woodland drive, on a site acquired from Middaugh & Rhesus monkeys in its colony, 5 having | four baths and dressing rooms.

If thi should turn out to be the case, he| points out, a wonderfully valuable key | s | s | the time locked mysteries of the early stages of human civilization. Although the Macacus Rhesus mon- key is very susceptible to tuberculosis, none of the members of the laboratory’s colony has the disease. This is ascribed by Dr. Carl Hartman, who has charge of the colony, to the abundance of | sunlight, fresh air, an ideal diet and proper conditions for contentment, hap- piness and companionship with which they are provided. Although the climate oi Baltimore is by no means that of | a tropical jungle, and snow is not un- common in Winter, they live the year | around in roomy, clean open air cages, and are fed plenty of cooked and raw fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, rice and other foods to assure a sufficiency of all of the necessary vitamins. FLORIDA OFFICIALS | ACT ON FLOOD PERIL Draft of Protective Measures for| Solution of Okeechobee Menace May Go to Legislature. | i By the Assoclated Press. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, October | 27.—Seeking a solution to the flood‘ menace of Lake Okeechobee, which took a toll of upward of 2,000 lives in the September hurricane, South Florida officials gathered here today to consider several proposed measures. | The meeting was called by the mayors of Miami, West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. The plan of the leaders was to draft a program of protective measures for possible submission to the next Florida Legislature. | Mayor E. G. Sewell of Miami made the following proposal: “To request the Federal Government for construction of a canal from Lake Okeechobee to the sea, at a cost not to exceed $5,000,000, and that farming communities construct stormproof buildings for the persons of the area in time of severe storms.” GETS OLD BRIDAL VEIL.

He stated that Dr. Lipman of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station has roughly estimated that 9,000,000 tons of nitrogen are annually used in the United States by crop plants. Nitrogen is not the most im- portant plant food, but is generally the | principal lacking clement. Al fruit | trees growing in Maryland soils arc benefited by applications of nitrogen, either in the form of animal manures, | nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia. ‘The need of nitrogen is best shown | of shoots and blossom spurs, yellow | foliags and low production are all indi- | cations of nitrogen shortage. In the lack of animal manures, nitrate of soda gives the best results, yielding an almost immediate response in improved growth, followed the next year by increased pro- duction.
