Zoo Denizens Agog as Dog
Is 'Lionized' by Cubs

Almost coincident with the ar
rival of some 500 snakes at the
Zoo, scandal has reared its ugly
head-scandal within the royal
family itself, and there is much
whispering and talking secretly
among the cages.
To begin, there was much re-
joicing among goo residents when
it was learned Friday that the
lioness had given birth to sleepy
eyed triplets, which were named
Winken, Blinken and Nod.
LiOneSs MiSbehaveS
Almost Immediately, however,
it became apparent that some
thing was amiss. There was a
look of defiance on the face of
the lioness as she strode about
her cage, and not one Of pride
and tenderness.
Other animals looked on in
amazement.
Then Head Keeper Blackburn
discovered that the lioness even
refused to feed her offspring,
and that they were dangerously
weak as a result. He tried to
The Washington times., 1930-12-16

reason with the mother, but all
he got was a contemptuous growl'
Big Idea Ways In
Then Blackburn got the Big
Idea. It walked right up to him,
in fact, wagging its tail. It took
the form of little setter dog
who had recently lost her pups.
Said Blackburn:
"Ah, ha, Nellie, something
tells me that you are shortly
to be liOniZed!"
Winken, Blinken and Ned were
taken to Mr.. Blackburn's office
and introduced to the setter. To
his relief, she didn't even groWl
at them, but began licking the
face of one of the weak little
cubs. Then Nellie invited them
to stay for dinner.
And now. although the scandal
still goes the rounds, Nellie and
the three little lions are living
in Mr.. Blackburn'S office as con-
tented and well behaved as a
normal family Of puppies would
be.

PROGRAM
Crime Group Is Held Unlikely
to Reach Agreement on Its
Findings Before January !

The WickerSham law enforce
nent commission is near the
parting of the ways on the pro-
libition issue.
After being in continuous ses-
sion since last Wednesday, the
body gave indication today Of i'm.
patience under the strain Of try
ing to reach an agreement on
recommendations to submit to
President Hoover before Jan
uary /.
An informal understanding be-
tween the White House and the
commission had been reached to
have some sort Of report ready by
that date, but it is virtually GER
tain now that II a joint report Is
made it will be merely compro-
mise between the wet and dry
members.
There is a strong group in the
commission which wants to recon-
mend "beer and light wines"
program and to modify the Vol
stead act. They are meeting
with opposition from the drys,
who in general are seeking a
means of stricter enforcement Of
the law.

Government lost the case because
Of lack Of evidence or because Of
faulty drawing Of the Shapiro in

Blaine Hits Firm
When Clarke said that he was
anxious to make a personal state

q don't believe I care to give
this company an immunity

I shall certainly want to cross

II don't want to make this

OWEN YOUNG
TELLS BANKERS
Is TARIFF PERIL
America Faced With Prob

SURPRISES, He Says.
By United Press

By United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, June 20
America, faced with the problem
of marketing large SURPRISES of
commodities, raw materials, earn
ings and services, must create
goodwill among its potential buy
ers abroad and avoid any attitude,
such as a hostile tariff policy,
Owen d. Young said here Thurs
day. night.
In a speech before the National
Electric Light Association, broad
cast to the nation, the chairman
Of the board of the General Elec-
trio Company denounced racket
GERS in economics and politics who
for selfish reasons "assassinated"
the goodwill on which American
prosperity depends.
THE dividing line between pros
perity and the want of it is so
sensitive that all our SURPRISES
vitality affect it," he said.
Young said the problem was to
dispose of American SURPRISES in
countries where they were needed.
Extension of international credit
will furnish one solution, in his
opinion. Financing of foreign loans
in this country does not mean that
United States currency or gold is
shipped abroad, he said.
