that lions fear mice has been branded
as a nature fake by Cy De Vry, direc-

than that, the animal expert proved
the other day that lions fear mice no
more than do the humber members of
the same family, the house cat.

wasn't afraid as he should have been,
according to the nature takers. but
promptly chased the rodent through
the bars that separate him from the
cage of Prince, another aristocrat of
