Two black boys from Uganda in Central Africa have been brought to New York, along with three gorillas, a couple of chimpanzees, and other assorted animals, by Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson. Although the boys have as their duty the care of the animals and sleep by preference at the zoo, they have spent some of their time sight-seeing. They were fascinated to see the urban life in the U.S. Americans live in high buildings, use means of transportation that carry them beneath the earth. They push themselves on to a conveyance that provides nearly every possible inconvenience in the way of heat, dirt, and congestion. Americans work hard and party harder.
