NAPIER SUGGESTS
AUTO SALE CARDS
TO REDUCE THEFTS
Atlanta, Ga., Dec, 27.—Attorney
General Napier asked that a bill
of sale certificate, in the form of
ilLcard to be carried in the pocket
oAbillfold, be furnished to ail
auto%)bjle owners in "Georgia.
Mr. Napier pointed out that af
present there is no quick and cer-
tain method by whkk the police
can determine whether a car has
been stolen, whereas if the owner
carried such a card on his person,
he could easily produce it and
prove his ownership when ques
tioned. If a legitimate borrower
was driving the car, he could
either borrow the owner’s identifi
cation card, or refef the police to
the owner, if questioned.

Boma Would
Hunt.
“Is that piece used up? Well,
here’s another one for you."
Bourn was told by the keeper to
hunt for the piece of string. And
Boma would hunt for It. He would I
pull the straw this way and then
that way. The keeper would say:
‘‘Try over here, Boma,” and Boma
would walk over to another part of
his great cage and look again.
Then the keeper would say:
“Think, Boma. what would be a
good hiding place?"
Then Boma would stop and his
forehead would wrinkle up and he
would look from side to side as
though to say:
■ Now let me think for a moment:”
Then he would Rtart looking for
the string again.
Sometimes the keeper would say:
Now you’re nearer it,” and Bo
ma would look very hard about that
spot.
He had just been playing this
game with the keeper. He had also
rushed about and hnd done the dif
ferent things the keeper had told
him to do.
He hnd been swinging and leap
ing and doing his fine circus tricks
and when the keeper had said:
"Now hurry off to bed,” be had
rushed up to his bed, which was
built up quite high in his cage and
which, The too, was covered with straw.
people had all thought It was
wonderful the way he had under
stood what had been said to him and
that he had rushed about to do these
tricks so easily, and merely by be
ing told, in-fr-kw- voleerim^io-them:
After a time he grew tired of
tlftse tricks. He felt as though he
must do more to attract the atten
tion of the crowd who were watch
ing him.
So he got in front of them and he
began to make funny faces. He
wriggled up his face on one side and
then on the other, and he made all
sorts of funny faces.
How the people did laugh at him.
Boma was delighted.
He kept on doing more and more
of this and Ills face looked too ab
surd for words.
Then the keeper spoke to him.
“Boma,” he said, “the people
don’t think you've been clever now.
They’re only laughing at you.
“It is not because they think you
are smart. It Is simply because you
are so foolish that they are laugh
Ing.
“Don't make a monkey of your
self, Boma."
Now Boma, it is true, belonged to
the monkey family, but he knew
that when the 7S
keeper said.
. Don’t make a
monkey of your
self,” it meant
that he was only- ■ «
acting in a silly,
silly way.
Maybe it was (■
a funny speech
to make to a

member of the ft 1

great rush, he
had hurried back, to his bed of straw
in the corner of his cage and had
hidden his head in shame.
After a time he came forth again
and did fine tricks and leaped about
gaily and had a beautiful time, but
he didn’t “make a monkey of him
self’again—not for some time, any
way, as he didn’t want to be laughed
at because lie was foolish.
No, be didn’t want that at all, and
the keeper understood that. Boma
