If last week's rate of decline in the Reserve ratio were maintained the legal limit of 40% would be reached in the next four weeks.

Dr. Ditmars hopes "that some day our zoos will agree to ship their adult chimpanzees back to Africa and turn them loose in some sanctuary like that now established for the gorilla.* This would limit us to the exhibition of only young specimens, which are highly interesting to adults and always a joy to children...
