Equally ignoble as game is the gorilla, rapidly being killed off by frightened natives and photographers who have irritated bull gorillas to the point of charging. The gorilla was given absolute protection because it is naturally amiable, while the chimpanzee, which has acquired the habit of kidnapping native children and dropping them from trees, was relegated to the partially protected list...
...broadside called Frente á Frente ("Face to Face")* last week let loose an inkpot of rage against Boss Calles and his henchman Aaron Saenz, Governor of Mexico's Federal District. Its cover was a foot-and-a-half high cartoon of Calles as a redhanded, man-eating gorilla, slavering across a field of skulls (see cut). Its prose, however, was no match for this pictorial violence. One article printed in groping English described a government that could ban the word "God" from the textbooks as "such ossy, ossy, phally, prehistoric boneheads. ... I verely say to all that such...
...Paul du Chaillu, author of A Journey to Ashangoland, Stories of the Gorilla Country, first discovered African Pigmy tribes in the Ogawe district of Central Africa in 1865, first convinced Europe of the existence of gorillas with eminently read-highly colored tales of the giant apes...
...midnight almost any Midway visitor should have had his fill of the charming Belgian Village, the educational Gorilla Village, the miniscule Midget Village, complete with midget jail, midget court house, midget barber shop. He will have been sufficiently aghast at the monstrosities in C. C. Pyle's and Robert Ripley's "Odditorium," sufficiently thrilled by the dizzying Sky Ride.

He surely will have wearied his feet after viewing the Pantheon...
...black and silver-tipped grizzlies this year, so you are bound to see plenty. The park service runs tourist camps, but you can safely pitch your tent anywhere. (For ferocious bears, go to Katamai National Monument, Alaska, rivaled as a game range only by Belgian Congo's gorilla preserve.) There are more bison (1,000) and elk (10,000) in the park than the mountainous area could support in the winter if hunters did not kill the elk and rangers cull out the bison. There will be Indians as well as geysers, about which government guides lecture at intervals...
