Excitement thrilled the Grant Park zoo today. Jumbo, the big elephant, tossed his hay nervously on his bound [pss back. Felix, the big Barbary lion, growled and spat as the children gazed on his majestic magnificence. Rajah, the tiger, paced his cage more restless ly than ever. He uttered no sound. He was silently, moiosel.v marl. The hyenas laughed as they considered the condition, but their laugh wasn't mer ry. It was sardonic. For the monkey folks, the only kind of beast in the park except the timid gazelles, that even the most timid lit tle humans viewed without fear mak ing their hearts go pit-a-pat. were up in arms and had assembled in war council. Around old Billy, dean of the monkey cage, the simians had gathered. They listened to his words of wisdom and they chattered bellicose but hearty ap proval. Plenty to Protest. I "My- children.'' said Billy, and there i was deep emotion in his voice even las he spoke in the monkey tongue— AV e are threatened. For years, un aided. we have amused the little folk of Atlanta, and now we are told that there are others that are to be brought I in to share our honor of pleasing them, to take from us the peanut largess that has been ours, and outs alone, since Atlanta first provided this zoo. But that is not all. They not only intgnd to have these aliens share our honors and awards, but they would change our names. "Our names were sacredly given us by the only ones that love us—the children. They were given us in adoration and in gratitude for our services in climbing poles and sneak ing goobers. "How would 1 feel being named Dan t'arey, or Walter Taylor, or bearing th entitlements of Chief Beavers'.’ It is beyond the question. We must rise We must refuse to perform if these outlanders a'rv introduced." A wild chorus of assent greeted him His words had their effect. Welcomed by '‘lnsurgents." But only on the older monkeys, the standpatters of the colony. From the younger ones, the progressives, there came an indignant chatter of protest. The immigration spirit ran high with them. They were for new faces, new antics and new ideals. They were not averse to new names. Nervo, the bull moose of the cage, even suggested that Billy’s rule was ■ molly eoddlish and the more new things there were in their lives the better off they would be. So the debate ran. until the approach of a voting woman, bearing peanuts in her hand, broke up the debate for more material considerations. Movement Goes Forward. But just the same, Victor H. Kreig ; shaber, who proposed that the popula tion of the Grant Park monkey world be iin leased by public subscription, and that the siamlans be named after their donors, is going forward with his P eject. Ho his already received enough money foi the purchase of a dozen He is afti ■ mote He wants forty more monks in the cage and he is going to make personal appeal for their provision.
