lore which debunks some of the
things you may have heard. and
gives you new slants on others.

ing, and they pay no attention to
it. beyond licking it off.
"Don't Look Away"
ANOTHER thing people believe
is that you can stare lion down,
hypnotic him into submission. or
something of the sort. There's
nothing to that, either. Sure, you
look a lion in the eyes when you
give him command, or think he
may be playing around with the
idea of making a little trouble.
And you don't look away. because
if you do, the lion will figure you're
looking for new location, and
do something about it. On the
other hand, when he looks one
way or the other, that's the way
he's planning to go. It's helpful to
know that.
'Another good reason for
watching a lions eyes is tina,
you can tell when he's made
up his mind. You may not know
what he's going to do. but you can
be sure he's made up his mind to do
it. A lion that's making decision,
whether it's to come for you or
obey a command, has a tight.

his mind to do something. the
pupil expands"

zero temperatures during the
course Of an average central ILL.,
nois winter, but Docs lions and
tigers live the year around in a
barn and the lions have access to
the outdoor arena at all times.
Their pen is only seven and half
by eight feet. The lions are two
deep when they're all inside.
They're the only really noisy
members of Docs menagerie.
Their distinctive coughing roar
doesn't sound very loud when you
stand beside the arena. but it
carries amazingly - seven miles
and more, according to reports.
The people in Mason City and
the surrounding countryside are
used to it by now. They don't
seem to worry about the big cats.
despite the fact that lions have
escaped on several occasions.
VI Used a Club"
ONCE they killed Shorthorn
bull for which Doc had just paid
$2,1OO, and on another occasion,
they pulled down a fine blooded
mare. What did Doc do?
Il used a club, and mule
skinner language" he says. Il
told them to get back where they
belonged - and they got!"
Doc brags about the fact that his
animals breed prolifcally in cap
tivity. Old Betty, a six-year-old
loness, has raised l9 cubs in
four litters, and Doc will tell
you that's probably a worlds
record. When she had her first
litter of five, Doc was afraid one
would starve. unless somebody
went in the cage and made sure
they all got equal turns at feed
ing. In the best lion-raising circles,
this just isn't done with lioness
and newborn cubs.
But Doc thought the situation
over and wrote a note, which he
pinned on the door for his hired
man:
"If I'm not here when you get
back" Doc wrote, rake my shoes
out of old Betty's cage. They're
rationed."
Winning Confidence
In THE strictest sense of the
word, Doc is not a ''lion-tamer."
He goes into the arena bare
handed. and hauls lions around
by the name or tail if they're in
his way. He'll put his arm, or his
head, in their mouths, and he'll
make them do almost all the tricks
of the professional lion-tamer.
He says. however. that he just
drifted into it. According to Doc.
you have a lion around. and you
win its confidence. You become
less and less afraid of the lion.
Pretty soon you and the lion are
on good terms, and that's all there
is to it. | pass on this formula. but

refugees living in Austria. The ma
terials are hauled by truck from vi
emma to the American and British
zones of Austria. Help is also ex-
tended to the Mennonites in regards
to their emigration problems.
The some 100000 refugees crowd
ed into small Austria provide an
other burden to the national econ
omy. Refugees eligible for migra-
tion are cared for by the Inter-
national Refugee Organization. The
large share (mainly Volksdeutsche)
are in British and American camps.
Jewish refugees received much
support from the American Joint
Distribution Committee. The large
percentage of refugees receive their
basic food ration from the Austrian
economy.

private relief agencies is a drop in
the bucket" it is felt that many neg
lected and urgent problems are allie

that our work in every corner of the
globe may provide a witness of

world of darkness and hate.
