Queenie wobbled unsteadily
through the jungle, a cub lioness,
born to wild life in an untamed

. Today, in the Brooklyn zoo she
gasped in agony while a dentist,
aided by keeperx. ropes. Iron bars

broke out a blackened tusk which
bad given her a tooth ache.-
. Her teeth had succumbed to the

Viewed before the operation by
newspapermen and motion picture
operators, Queenie crouched in
her cage like a sphinx.
' A half hour of uproar and the
lioness was made fast. A side of
the cage was opened and her head
was dragged out. Then the park
department veterinary began his
work while Queenie strained at
the ropes which bound her. Keep

held it down, as gently as possible
and placed a 'crowbar between her

When Queenie was released, she
roared and tried to leap to her

200 Persons Attend Ban

O'CIock Club
About 200 persons, including a
large number of members of the

meet!; and banquet of the Six
o'Clotfk club of the Methodist
church last night, at which time
Edgar B. Piper, editor . of the
Portland Oregonlan. reviewed the
happenings of the Republican and
Democratic national conventions
of Jast year, both of. which be at
tended, i
Mr. Piper's talk included some
interesting inside information on
both conventions. Warren G.
Harding was tbe spontaneous se
lection of the convention, unpre
meditated by anybody, and the
senate oligarchy had little to do
with his election until It was evi
dent that it was certain, according
to Mr. Piper. He expressed the
hope and belief that Mr. Harding
felt himself called upon to help
solve the problems of the nation,
that he was going to be indepen
dent and careful, and that he
would not disappoint the people.
In Mr. Piper's analysis of the
San Francisco convention he call
ed particular attention to the
fight between Bryan, openhanded.
and the wet convention. He paid
tribute to Mr. Bryan's fight and
his splendid speech when he plead
for his dry plank.
Mr. Piper said, that were be
2 asked concerning the 40 barrels
I of whiskey alleged to have enter-
j admit without malice or libel, that

In h's introductory speech Rep
resentative Thomas B. Kay. who
presided at the meeting, paid this
tribute to Mr. Piper that "be
talked daily to more people than
any other man In Oregon and be
bad greater influence in moulding
tbe political influence than any
other living man in the stale."
