By DAVE II.

OAKLAND, Calif.-Because Mrs.
Nancy Lee Nanetti fearlessly put
her hand and arm into The jaws and
down the throat Of a giant lioness,
Princess" descendant Of a blood
royal line from the African veldt, is
alive today after a narrowing eX-
p%erience with a bone in her throat.
Princess was an unwelcome guest
Of the city Of Oakland ZOO some time
ago-unwelcome because the city
could not legally provide her food
when Mrs. Nanetti came 10 the res
cue Of the orphan cub.
A lover Of animals, Mrs. Nanetti
went to the rescue Of the cub, and
the animal was sold 10 her for one
dollar. Since that time Mrs. ..Gnetti
has cared for the ~lioness at her
home.
Swallowed a Bone
But Princess came TO grief recent
ly. Perhaps her table manners
weren't of the best. for, lik~ n greedy
child. she swallowed more than she
could get down her throat. That
isn't a matter Of moment with a lion
cub. but this particular piece Of
meat had a slender silver Of bone
in il, sharp as a needle. The bone
lodged in the lioness' throat.
The animal was in great pain dur
ing the afternoon. IL grew worse.
During the night IL became appar-
ent that Princess must have relief
or she would not live TO s. on the
operating table.
With a crisis facing her, and no
professional assistance in sight, Mrs.
Nanetti went to the aid of the lion
ess in a desperate attempt 70 relieve
her suffering. She put her hand
and arm inc the mouth Of the beast
and down its throat.
Remembered Kindness
The kindness with hieh she had
raised the animal as a cub began
that moment to pay dividends. Prin-
cess, suffering and uneasy, held her
mouth open, while her great eyes
watched Mrs. Nanetti's face with
much the same anxiety and trust
that a patient watches a surgeon
about 20 operate. Not once did Prin-
cess even pinch although one snap
of her jaw would have clipped her
mistress arm off like a bread-stlck.
Mrs. Nanetti reached the bone, but
couldn't draw il out. Finally she
showed it down the throat, so far
that il slipped into the .tomach.
But Princess began to breathe more
freely. ard gave promise Of living
through the night.

G. 0. P. Throng at
McAllen

MeALLEN, July 2o.-One thousand
persons heard Hoover lauded rs a
fit candidate for the presidency and
Al. Smith pictured as the leader Of
the Tammany Tiger, believer in anti
prohibition, and enemy Of public edu-
cation, in a Hoover for President"
club rally held here Thursday night.
Judge J. W. Hoyt, chairman Of the
Hidalgo club, opened the discussion
with the declaration that "the repub-
licans have always favored the pro-
tective tariff while the democrats
have opposed it,"
"What would happen to the VAL
ley" he asked, "if Mexico was al
lowed 10 compete on an equal basis
with 10 cent land and cheap labor"
He also discussed the decrease in
the national debt and the income tax
and the surplus which is now in the
United States treasury.
Rap Smith Stand
eff you want 70 turn out sound
business" he declared, "then place
il in the hands Of the grating poll
ticians who have picked Smith,"
After discussing the prohibition
amendment he declared that repub-
leans wishing its repeal should vote
for Smith and that democrats, wish
ing a fair trial of the amendment,
should vote for Hoover.
Mrs. Fred Wright Of Weslaco in
comparing the stand of both candi-
dates on education declared that
Hoover favored public education
while Smith was a non-believer in the
institution, having sent his children
to private schools.
Launching an attack on Tammany's
religious tolerance, Rev. Jewell Mat
thews Of McAllen declared that this
situation demanded that every
preacher take the stand against Smith
as a moral obligation.
Matthews Talks
"Tammany is the clerical post for
Roman church favor" he said.
"For the sake Of the good mothers
Of the country, q clean ballot and an
honest and American government,
the people should pledge their sup
port to Hoover" he declared.
