Witness: Yes, 286 mms, to 100 c.cz. is enough to make a hard drinker drunk,

Is it not often the case that a man ordinarily mild would become belligerent when drunk?--I have heard of such cases.

Why should a person who is drunk wish a thing that he does not wish when he is sober?--That is rather impossible to answer.

AFFAIRS OF A BABOON FAMILY

"}

About Ave miles from our" camp a colony of baboons lived on the banks of the Guaso Nyiro river...... I can safely say that the expert- ences we had with these baboons were among the most interesting and were certainly the funniest- that we have ever had with wild animais. Every move they made, was either interesting or comic, and there must have been two. thousand of them.

Osa and I have always insisted that the baboon is, the most in- telligent of the monkey family. though that s 0. dangerous thing to say for many people confuse the monkeys with the apes and so mistake our mean- ing. But here we had a chance to get better acquainted and see.. ut we were right. At first they were all just baboons," but gradually we were able to distinguish some of them by their individualities, and we even went so far as to name a few for instance, one fine big fellow seemed to be a sort of head man. He had his own parti- cular tree

even ..

crotch in which he would sit for hours at a time, and he was the easiest of all to photo- graph, for we could get closer to him," and sometimes we photographed him without going into the blinds. He way so big and fat and lazy that he hated. te move, and he was terribly celf- conscious if we stared at him for He would any length of time. stare back as long as he could armi, then to cover his self-conscious- ness, be would yawn. Sometimes he would yawn so much that he would get us to yawning, and when we laughed at him it would make him so angry that he would bristle up his hair...

We were soon able to distinguish different families, as well as dif- terent individuals, for we would see.. the same groups together day after day. The mothers and fathers would often caff the youngsters until the Httle fellows would roli over and over, screaming to the limi; of their lungs. To family affairs

these of the other's would pay any at- tention, but sometimes a member of one family would cuff a young- ster of another family, and then there was a battle. These inter- family aghts were often quite ex- citing and the noise was terrible.
