the managing director, and had left the man
looking like something the cat dragged in.
Rumors that he had done the same thing to
the Curator of Carnivora. Rumors that
George was sort of match making cat, who
had humbled these two men in order to make
them acceptable to two interested girls
Until today, Francesca hadn't known
whether or not to believe these rumors They
sounded ridiculous, but it was fact that the
directors young wife and the curator's bride
let George sleep on their guest-room beds.
Now, of course. she realized that the rumors
were untrue. George hadn't even tried to
stand up to Brad.
She forgot about George when the reporters
and photographers began to arrive. Brad had
to answer lot of questions. He explained
that his work involved psychology. not oour
age. A tiger, he said, expected everything to
run from it; if you didn't run, the tiger had to
take few moments to decide what to do
The whole trick was to make the tigers de-
cisions for him by suggesting something for
him to do.
Make it long sleeves tonight and I'll wear
my tux" Then he went ON with his lecture
Francesca glared at him. He was trying
exactly the same technique on her. Instead of
running away when she insulted him, he
asked for date.
Brad told one of the reporters. This
kitchen chair carry into the arena isn't
any real protection. A lion or tiger could
knock it out of my hand with one good swipe.
But usually they don't try. jab the chair
at them, and they work off their irritation
by chewing on the four legs
Francesca thought angrily: And | get
three-dollar dinner to chew when I'm irri-
tated"
The whip" Brad explained, isn't a
weapon. l never strike an animal with it.
1t wouldn't be healthy. l merely snap it
loudly, to focus an ANIMALS attention" He
sauntered near Francesca again and whis-
pered, 'I'n have the orchestra play your
favorite tunes"
There's no use trying to focus my atten-
tion,' she said coolly.
Brad grinned, and began telling the re-
porters that Kali was the most savage Royal
Bengal he had ever trained. Francesca won
dered miserably if she we're one of the tamest
girls he had ever trained. There was no use
to deny it any longer he had her attention.
She couldn't stop thinking about his dinner
invitation. Would he really be there?
A SMALL cold fear gripped her. If she allowed
herself to be curious she would never be able
to hold out. She would peek in at the Lake
Casino and Brad would catch her at it,
and she would have no more self-respect left
than George up tree.
At that moment George himself wandered
into the arena on an inspection tour and set
tied down behind pedestal to think about
the man who had frightened him up tree.
His eyes glowed, and he honed his claws in the
tanbark
A bolt clanked somewhere, but George did
not look around. A moment later there was

A DIAMONDBACK'S DEN.

skirts the Atlantic Coast. was
being CONSTRUCTED several years
ago, in passing near my place.
the road passed through some Of
the old plantations" writes Ar
chibald Rutledge i'll the February
issue Of Boys Life. Every near
me some of the workmen were
engaged in uprooting an old dead
)ive-oak stump. Hearing suspici-
Gus noises in the hallow or den
beneath the stump. they were
careful. When at last the stump
was rolled away there stood re-
vealed the home of family of
dianondbacks. There were two
serpents or regal size,seven about
five feet long. and twelve small
ones. No doubt all these snakes
represented three generations.
The den was cavern of white
sand. Immediately clean, except
that in one corner was packed
tightly away enough fur to stuff
a large pillow! This fur undou-
btedly had come from the rabbits
and squirrels that these snakes
had killed and eaten. But what in
terested me was the fact that the
serpents had placed all of it in
one far corner of the den."

Beginning TO PAY.

American businesses and indi-
viduals are now getting taste of
the higher taxation that has fin
ally become inevitable. Earlier
this session Congress raised in-
come tax rates in all brackets,
and lowered exemptions, in order
to bring into the fold thousands
of lowbracket citizens who had
never paid direct Federal taxes
before. Congress has agreed on
still another tax bill, levying sub
stantially heavier taxes against
industry, particularly in the mat
ter of excess profits.
Our taxes are now the highest
in our history. Even so, the reve-
nue. resulting will be far from ade
quate to pay for what we are
spending. The answer to that is
more defcit-fnancing - which
simply amounts to charging to-
days bills against tomorrows in
come. No economist believes that
the tax boosts so far approved by
Congress are anything but a mod
est beginning. In coming ses-
sions further increases, more
severe than anything we have
ever known. will in all probabili-
ty be passed. Only miracle,
| which would be raise the national
income far beyond any reason
able expectation, could change
the outlook.
No one doubts the need OF
spending for defense. The Ameri.
can people will not be chary Of
dollars when their liberties are
threatened. But certainly the
American people are entitled to
demand a degree Of efficiency in
government greater than any we
know today or have known in
the past. Efficiency means, OF
course. getting the most weap.
ons and material for each defense
dollar expended. More than this
it means carrying on the other
, necessary government activities
at minimum cost. 1t means the
elimination of any activity which
does not fall into the essential
category. 1t means cutting few
thousand dollars off the appro.
priations for small departments
no less cutting millions off the
appropriations for the big depart.
ments.
Higher taxes mean sacrifices
for all the people. We will be
able to afford fewer luxuries -
and we shall have to make the
lmost out of the necessities. It is
the duty of the government to see

Refugees

During the next few weeks this country may
expect a new wave of agitation in favor OF
opening the gates of the United States to the
racial and political refugees of German-occu-
pied Europe. These efforts are going on all
the time, occasionally with admirable humani-
tartan results; they are bound to get fresh
stimulus from a German proposal to release
$50, 900 refugees on condition that they pro-
ceed direct to this country.
Unfortunately this proposal is probably just
what it appears to be on the surface - a
shrewdly contrived Nazi plan to play on Amer
lean sympathies to German advantage.
The first and most obvious gain to the Nazis
from the adoption Of the proposal would be
that it would enable them to get rid of thou
sands of undesirable individuals they are now
obliged to watch and feed. In addition, the
scores of ships needed to transport the refu-
gees would reduce the supply available for
Britain; the Nazis would gain $245 in foreign
exchange for each refugee transported to Lis.
bon. On top Of this, the Nazis would have a
fine chance to slip numbers of fifth columnists
and saboteurs into the United States.
With so many difficulties in the way, i
does not appear likely that the plan will gair
much Roadway with the State department
Acceptance OF refugees en- masse from Ger
n~aan-controlled regions would be as dangerou!
10 us as it would be helpful to Germany ane
that is enough to condemn the plan.
