Girl Who Tried
To Kiss A Lion
She Suffered Terrible Consequences
of Her Foolish Act Other Kinds
of Lions That it is Just as Unwise
and Disastrous to Try to Kiss.
In his regular first-Sunday talk
to children Sunday a week ago Rev.
Dr. R. C. Beaman, pastor of Chestnut
Street Methodist church, told about a
girl who tried to kiss a lion, and what
happened to her, and warned of the
danger cf petting familiar with the
lions of idleness, of ungoverned tem
per, or irreverence and disobedience.
In a zoological garden in New
York some time ago, said the
pi fat her, a girl actually tried to kiss
a large Asiatic lion. The lion was
so tame that folks had become ac
customed to petting it, and everybody
thought it was perfectly safe to do
so; no one dreamed that this lion
would ever harm any one. A little
girl threw her arms around the lion's
neck one day and tried to kiss it. But
on this particular occasion the lion
was in a bad humor, and when the
child placed herself in his power he
viciously closed his ponderoua jaws
and mashed her face into a jelly. She
escaped with her life but suffered
terribly and was horribly disfigured,
carrying the scars with her through
life.
There are other lions with which
it is just as dangerous to become
familiar and which leave scars for
life.
There is the lion of idleness. When
Jesus cast seven devils out of a cer
tain man these seven devils came back
and brought with them seven other
devils, because the man was idle and
the space was vacant. Idleness is a
dangerous lion. Children should play
and develop the strength and health
that will enable them to fight life's
battles, but there should be no time
for idleness. Men and women who
have amounted to anything were in
dustrious as boys and girls.
Then there is the lion of ungovern-
TO-xt is rischt that-.lnUd-
have tempt-r; peWe : who""' fiave no
xsBmt an not ox much 11 any ac
count i bui temper must be controlled
Many a man has blood on his hands
twcause he did not control his temper.
Never lose control of yourself. One
never gets perfect control of temper
until he or she becomes a Christian
and surrenders to Jesus Christ.
There L the lion of irreverence,
which is becoming so prevalent
irreverence for the home, irreverence
for parents, for the house of God,
for all sacred thing's. Deep and
abiding reverence is one of the foun
dation stones of a great and useful
character.
Then there is the lion of disobe
dience. Boys and girlg who do not
learn to obey are candidates for
Crime. The preacher told of a boy
in Chicago who suffered death rather
than disobey. On his way to Sunday
school he was met by some bad boys
who invited him to go with them to
rob an orchard. He refused and told
them it was wrong to steal. They
insisted, and still he refused, urging
that besides the wrong cf stealing
his mother had told him never to
take what did not belong to him and
to go to Sunday school, and he vould
not disobey his mother. Then the bad
boys t Id him that if he would not
go with them they would make him
go and would drown him. And they
did. They overpowered the boy, car
ried him with them and threw him
into a lake and he was drowned; and
there is a statue in Chicago to this
boy who died rather than disobey.
Resolve that you will die, urged
the preacher in conclusion, before
you will kiss the lion of disobedience,
cr the lion of irreverence, or the lion
of ungoverned temper or the lion of
idleness.
67TH CONGRESS CONVENES.
Bills Designed to Cover Some of Most
Important Problems Before Present
Congress Introduced.
The 67th Congress convened Mon
day. Speaker Gillett and other Re
publican officers of the House were
re-elected. Representative Claude
Kitchin of North Carolina, Demo
cratic floor leader, being placed in
nomination by the minority. The Re
publicans have a majority of 22 in
the Senate and about 170 in the
House.
The Republicans howled over ai at
tempt by Representative Flood, Demo
crat, of Virginia, to investigate the
election cf Richard E. Bird, Republi
can, of Kansas, who it is alleged
spent in excess of $10,000 in his elec
tion campaign in violation of the
Federal corrupt practices act.
All North Carolina Congressmen
were present. Representative W. C
Hammer, new member from the
Seventh district, expressed himself
freely as being outraged by the man
ner in which Representative Bird was
seated.
A Washington dispatch gives the
following :
Bills designed to cover some of the
more important problems before the
present Congress were introduced
Monday in the House. They included
ar taxes and proposals tot new ones,
soldier bonus and soldier relief, Fed
eral budget, restriction of immigra
tion, and Federal road building.
While the "five way" plan of
veteran organizations for deferred
compensation to service men became
House bill No. 1, the tax question was
foremost in the legislative proposals.
Representative Longworth, of Ohio,
prepared the straight repeal of excess
profits and war profits taxation. The
suggestion was repeated by Repre
sentatives Bachrach, of New Jersey,
and Mott, of New York, who pro
posed imposition of gross sales taxes
at one per cent rates. The Bachrach
measure also suggested reduction of
normal income tax rates to two per
cent, and application, of the sur tax
to incomes above $7,000 with a maxi
mum of 40 per cent.
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee, putting forward
the service men's bonus proposal,
which provides for alternatives be
tween cash payment, land settlement,
insurance, vocational education, and
home building, left out taxation nm
posals, but Representative Gullivan
Democrat, of Massachusetts, put in
an exact duplicate of the bill as it
passed the house last session. In
further aid to veterans Representative
Sweet, Republican, of Iowa, introduc
ed a bill to consolidate all boards and
bureaus having to do with soldier
rehabilitation, and Representative
Fess, Republican, of Ohio, suggested
exemption irom income taxes of all
payments t veterans undergoing
vocational training,
Immigration restriction, decided up
on by the last Congress in enacting
a bill limiting annual entrance of
aliens into the United State8 to three
per cent of the total residents of each
nationality in the nation as found by
the 1910 census, was proposed by
Chairman Johnson oi the immigra
tion committee. His bill exactly
duplicated that which President Wil
son gave a pocket veto.
Representative Blanton, Democrat,
of lexas, whose battles with his
associates in Congress have attracted
some attention, came forward with
a suggestion to reduce Congress from
435 members to 304, and reapportion
them according to the 1920 census.
A number of other reapportionment
bills were proposed, but would provide
for holding the membership to its
present limit. Mr. Blanton also pro
posed the elimination of the present
travel allowance of 20 cents a mile
for members, substituting therefor
a payment of actual expenses, to be
made up on sworn vouchers.
Representative Young, Republican,
of North Dakota, for the ways and
means committee, introduced the
emergency agricultural tariff, exactly
as it was passed in February. Its
effective period was fixed as six
months after enactment instead of 10
as in the vetoed measure of the last
session.
Chairman Kahn, of the military af
fairs committee, again proposed a
separate air corps, under a new execu
tive hureau. to control military avia
tion and a separate proposal for fed
eral -y., r
accompany it. ' '
Chairman Good of the appropria
tions conynittee, introduced the Fed
eral budget bill, another of the meas.
ures vetoed during the former ad
ministration.
Abolition cf the railroad labor
hoard and repeal of sections of the
transportation act under which it
operates was proposed by Represen
tative Tincher, Republican, Kansas.
Hi8 bill would empower the interstate
rnmmprre commission to perform
functions now assigned to the board.

We are out of Ford Cars.
Other dealers all over the country are out also.
We ordered fifty-four cars for shipment in March.
We did not get a single car. We ordered one hundred and eight
for delivery in April, and of these we will get only sixty.
Orders for Fords are going into the factory faster than cars be
made. There is now a shortage of Fords, and this shortage will
probably continue.
We have received invoices for. only eighteen cars this month
mostly tourings and runabouts. If you want a car within the next
sixty days, we suggest that you place your order immediately.
Our Service Department will make your old Ford give satisfac
tory service until we can supply you with a new one.
The worst of your troubles and ours are over. Hard work
and optimism will bring us back fast.
An Asheville dispatch states that
friends there of James J. Britt. for
mer Congressman and former Third
Assistant Postmaster General in the
Roosevelt administration, are going to
back him for the position as judge of
the United State8 Circuit Court of
Appeals to succeed Judge Pritchard.
There will also be another contender
for the position, it is understood,
Judge W. P. Bynum being presented
by strong friends in Greensboro and
Washington.
