The Once Over
THE MARTN JOHNSON JUNGLE INFLUENCE
OR WHY LIONS GO MAD

Copyright, 1880, py Inc Associated Newspapers)
When the little baby lions are about to 20 to bed
In the very deepest jungles where the king Of beasts
is bred.
Mommer Lion and her husband warn the children in
a row
or the hunter and the huntress Of the moving picture
show.
Once the jungle" so they tell them. was a lovely
place to live,
But today a lion has to dodge the motor truck and

And the menace he must watch for with his ears and
Is the rush Of motor vehicles with camera supplies"
ION the veldt." says Papa Lion. "once a lion had
a chance
And the life was fairly tranquil and a little like a
trance;
Now and then a rifle cracked and a lion had to
Jump,
But there weren't seven hunters to each tree and
bush and clump.
Oh, today the life is awful and the strain is most
intense
For the jungle's full Of ladies and It's also full Of
gents
VINO are SWarmln through the grasses anu 4 ciOS-
ging through the boys
To supply the picture houses with the jungle travel
ogues.
There are clickings in the thicket, there are whir-
rings everywhere
AS the motion picture crankers stir a tempest in the
air;
There's a lens at every turning and outside Of every
lair
There's a Mr.-Mrs. johnson or some other eager pair.
It's a life most Photographic that the modern lion
leads
As the tourists get the pictures for their tales Of epic
deeds,
And although there is less bloodshed in this very
Lions much prefer their shooting In the good old
fashioned way.
we are photographed when resting and we're pho
t~ographed asleep,
We are snapped when we are eating and we're taken
when we leap,
We are snapped when we are running and were taken
at a walk.
And we know a lens Is on us when we prowl and
when we stalk.
We are photographed by dozens when we 60 to drink
a drink
And we have our pictures taken when We even pause
10 think;
We are taken when we're angry and we're taken
when we play
All we hear is cameras clicking every minute Of the
day.
"Flivvers rattle al about US and we're very much an
noyed
AS the trucks go Notwithstanding to the front
with celluloid;
For there's nothing makes a lion seem so much a
helpless ham
AS to waste away Of hunger caught within a traffic
jam.
So. nv children, be as careful as you possibly can be
In a life in which you'll scarcely know the slightest
privacy;
II YOU hear a rifle cracking never make the slightest
fuss.
Take your bullet without finching; it viii be much
better thus"

STEEL TONNAGE
OFF,; REVIEW
SEES PICKUP

Untitled orders on the books Of
the U. S. Steel Corp, as of August
80 totaled S,58O,2O4 tons, a de-
crease Of 441,851 tons. as COM
pared with the total Of 5,022, ,O55
tons of July 81, last. On August
30. 1929, untitled orders amounted
to s.658,211 tons.
This was much larger decline
than had generally been antici-
pated by Wall Street, although
several quarters today made a
sudden downward revision in
their previous estimates.
The let-down in operating ac-
tivity of the steel plants during
August, it had been thought,
would help to prevent a sharp
decline in untitled orders, but it
is evident now that the curtail-
ment of production was the result
Of q lack Of incoming orders.
While slow in materializing, the
seSonal pickup in the steel trade
has become perceptible during
the past week, with demand for
finished steel larger than in
August, according to Iron Ages
weekly review Of the steel in
dustry. There are, however, no
signs Of a broad buying move
ment, and demand is still below
expectations, the report finds.
Continuing its survey, Iron Age
today said:
@CurtaiIment of pig iron pro.
duCtiOn, which, according to
complete returns. amounted to
AZ per cent in August, is appar-
emily still under way.

Announcement Of a New Series.
Model O-10 yellow Cab, at re-
duced prices, was made today by
PAU w. Seller, president and
general manager of the General

featuring methods. He explained:

toners substantial savings we
are able to make as a result
of ~ volume production or due
to manufacturing facilities.
Experience gained during the
past Is years in the manufac-
ture of Yellow Cabs and COM
mercial vehicles enables us, by
the use of the most up-tO-date
methods of production. to make
certain savings which would
not otherwise be possible"
