Too Smart Monkey Found
Tha 'Punch Lin Unfunny
Just because a small, seem'
ingly intelligent monkey can
not figure out how a series of
innocent looking wires can de
liver such a spine-shattering
wallno doesn't indicate dumb
ness on his part.
There are a great many
humans that have never un
derstood the principle of
electricity either, and - it
would seem to be much more
pertinent to people than to
monkeys.
In most ways this small
monkey was head and should
ers above the jungle-run of
monkeys; he could figure out
problems that would baffle
most animals of his own kind.
There was. the instance when
his owner discovered the little
guy with his hands through
the wire screen of his cage,
fumbling with the lock that
secured the cage. door. The
monkey had a short piece of
wire and was obviously trying
to pick the lock.
Too Smart
As monkeys come, this lit
tle guy was really too smart
for his own good; his adven
tures into areas where mon
keys shouldn't tread got him
into all kinds of trouble. He
caused his owner to wonder
exactly what went on in that
little, round, tennis ball sized
head. '; - .
The little fellow lived the
first years of his life in a

South American jungle. Dur
ing that time he learned
things a captive-born animal
could never know. He learned
how to live by his own re
sources. He must have been a
source of Inspiration to the
other monkeys.
In his little, green jungle
home he must have been a
monkey intelligentsia. This
background of learning serv
ed him well when he was cap
tured and brought to the U. S.
to become a household pet.
Smart Operator
His present owner, more or
less familiar with monkey
tricks, realized that this little
guy was a pretty smart op
erator. This monkey often
assumed a knowing expres
sion, and a worldly wisdom,
that Indicated he had done a
little serious thinking.
The monkey's owner often
told his friends that he was
amazed at the aptitude the
animal displayed when faced
with a problem, and how
usually, he worked it out, and
to his own benefit.
Then, one day the monkey's
cleverness almost proved his
undoing as it came near cost
ing him his life and brought
him face to face with some
thing he couldn't understand.
He figured out how to release
the latch on his cage. ' '
The door swung open, he
was free. He dashed across the
yard and climbed a tree. Once
again he was in his natural
element. He leaped ' from
branch to branch in ' wild
abandon; this was living.
Hurled Insults
For a brief spell the bark
ing dog, under the tree he was
in, bothered him. He soon
realized the dog couldn't get
up where he was, so he pro
ceeded to hurl monkey insults
at the animal. To show his
disgust he leaped away into
the upper branches and ob
served ahead of him a tall
pole that supported three elec
tric wires. This looked like
fun. He raced for the pole,
Jumped from the tree and
landed on the tip end of the
pole. He decided to run along
the top wire.
A few steps out from the
pole he lost his balance. Hold
ing onto the top wire, his
body touched the wire below.
The electric current, fortun
ately only a leakage, ran
through him." He fell to' the
ground in an undignified
heap. ,.
He rubbed his stomach and
shook his head in amazed un
belief. He looked up at the
innocent looking wires. He
would never be able to un
derstand why things that
looked so harmless could hand
out such a stomach-scorching
wallop.
HERO SANDWICHES - Little Leaguers are eager eaters. We
make Hero sandwiches for our heroes of the sandlot and for
the rooting section, too. Hot and satisfying chili con carne is
spooned over cool slices of tomatoes resting on individual
loaves of Italian bread - topped with crisp green pepper
sliced. More about this dish is. included in today's food
columns ., , . t

Hiro Sandwiches
For Sandlot Heroes
Home is just a filling sta
tion for the sandlot sluggers
"pun-lay ball is heard
throughout the land. Playing
to the grandstands and bat
tling the ump take a lot out of
a fellow whose legs are hol
low to begin with. After the
slide for home plate, comes
the dash for the plate at
home. Appetites are even
more tremendous.
Our young athletes need
sturdy fare. They're building
bones, teeth, blood, muscles,
sinew; need quantity as well
as properly balanced variety
of foods. The game takes a
lot out of the rooting section
too, to say nothing of the
parents! ;
Sandwiches of heroic pro-
Dortions and quantities of
milk are appropriate offerings
for the big leaguers of the
future and for their scream
ing cohorts. Bakery depart-:
ments at the super and bake-
ahoDs have bagged individual
loaves of the Italian bread
which is ideal for "heroes".
We suggest pitchers of milk
on the table; saves trips to the
refrigerator. And stacks of
sturdy paper cups. Paper
plates, too, come to trunk or
it.

Pina Heroes
Young western athletes
think highly of pizza sauce;
like famed Mozzarella cheese
in combination with satisfy
ing ground beef. All go into
individual loaves of Italian
bread. Figure on two pounds
freshly ground beef, nine
slices Mozzarella for nine gen
erous loaves for satisfying
nine ravenous appetites.
Preheat broiler. Mix two
pounds ground beef with one
half cup pizza sauce from a
10V4-ounce can, together with
one-half cup minced onion,
1 V4 teaspoons salt, one-eighth
teaspoon pepper. Split bread
loaves lengthwise. Spread bot

sure to cover bread complete

halves on broiler pan about
five inches from heat. Broil
six to eight minutes. Remove
from heat.
Place slice of Mozzarella
cheese on top of each meat
half;- return to broiler and
heat until cheese melts. At
same time, put top of indivi
dual loaves in broiler to toast
lightly. Spread each toasted
top half with remaining can
ned pizza sauce. Personally,
we use two cans of pizza
sauce though the average
taste may prefer only one.
Put on top of cheese-topped
meat half for a hearty "hero",
Frentied Hot Dogs
Hot dogs are to the base
ball, bowling and basketball
crowd as popcorn is to circus
goers. Hot dogs with a relish
are highly favored by hard
hitting, hard-running sports
enthusiasts.
Grill franks and toast buns;
pile them high. Offer an as
sortment of pickle relish,
sauerkraut, ketchup, pickles,
mustard relish. And remem
ber the mayonnaise. Then,
it's every man for himself.
Tuna Tempters
Tuna is among top favorites
for the making of hero sand
wiches for huge appetites. So
play it big. We use the long
loaf Of French or Italian
bread here but you can use
the packaged individual
loaves if you like.
Cut loaf of French or Ital
ian bread in half lengthwise.
Spread bottom layer with
tuna mlxtOre combined two
cans (6V4 or 7 ounce) tuna,
one-half cup minced celery,
one tablespoon minced onion,

Thailanders (Siamese)
Like Mild Chicken Curry
Thailand . (Siam) a King
dom, covers an area of about
200,000 square miles, about
three-fourths the size of Tex-
It has a population esti
mated at close to 23 million
of which 80 per cent are na
tives. Religious census indi
cates that 95 per cent are
Buddhist. About 90 per cent
of the population work at
agriculture. Rice Is the prin
cipal crop, the staple food and
the leading export. Other ma
jor crops include coconuts,
corn, sesame, sugar cane and
soybeans.
This chicken specialty of
Thailanders is made with
fresh coconut which is readily
available in our markets and
many readers will want to use
It. However, you may use a
package of coconut flakes if
you wish. Six serving.
2V4 pounds chicken
1 whole fresh coconut or
package coconut flakes
6 cups water
4 potatoes, pared
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon monosodium
glutamate (Ac'cent)
Cut chicken into serving
pieces. Break open the coco
nut with a cleaver; remove
meat from rind; grate or
grind meat into a kettle (or
use package of coconut
flakes). Pour two cups water
over coconut flakes; mash and
squeeze. Drain off "cream"
and save. Add two more cups
of water, mash and squeeze
flakes again, saving "cream."
Repeat twice more using just
one cup of water each time.
This makes six cups of coco
nut "cream". Discard flakes.
Add chicken pieces and cut
up potatoes to coconut cream
in the kettle. Simmer, uncov
ered, stirring gently, until co
conut cream is reduced to
about four cups (about one
hour). Remove kettle from
heat. Combine in saucepan,
three tablespoons of liquid
from the kettle with curry
powder; stir and heat slowly.
When the aroma "bursts out,"
stir into chicken mixture.
Add salt, sugar and Ac'cent.
Continue to cook gently about
10 minutes. Serve with snowy
steamed rice.
