Three years ago young Clyde Beatty, famed wild animal trainer, was attacked by a tiger. As he went down, an African lion named Nero leaped upon the tiger, knocked it across the cage. After that Nero was Trainer Beatty's favorite beast, was the tamest in the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus. Last fortnight Animal Man Beatty was rehearsing his act at Peru, Ind. He cracked his whip over Nero's head. Nero snarled, crouched, sprang. As Trainer Beatty went down sharp teeth tore through the flesh of his leg.

Have just read "Criminal Glands" in your Feb. 17 issue. Recall another article about bulldogs suffering from undersecretion of pituitary in a former issue. Why not let your gullible readers know why Nero fiddled while Rome burned, why one of Proust's characters got a kick while another spit on her grandfather's picture, and of course why "Alvy Siawaski Suffers?" Then you could have some doctor work out statistics on why ''lovely lady stoops to folly" and graduate into a metaphysical aspect and prove that we are all foreordained...
