BIO CROWDS SEE DOWNIE BROS. CIRCUS
two large audiences yesterday wit
nessed Downie Bros, circus, the first
of the season to show In Pottatown.
Of the shows on the road this la
one of the best, providing nearly two
hours of fine entertainment for the
public.
Probably the outstanding act was
that of? Felix Morales who walked
nearly to the top of the big tent on a
tight wire and then made that descent
with a head slide. In all there were
fifty acts without one dull moment
during the entire show. The Morales
family also appeared In another tight
wire walking act in which Felix as a
finale did a back somersault on the
wire.
There was one outstanding feature
and that was when there was assem
bled In the steel cage a Hon, a leopard,
a sheep, a goat and a dog.
Performing ponies, goats .elephants
and dogs were on the program. The
ponies, especially appealed to tlve kid
dies and there was more than one
youngster in the tent that expressed
an audible of- secret wish that he
owned one of them. Then there were
the clowns, those fun-makers that al
ways score a big hit with the boys and
girls and whoce antics are enjo&ed
equally as much by the grownups.
One of the clowns was recognized as
one which participated in an indoor
circus held in the armory during the
past winter.
SCHOOL CHILD NEEDS
WELL BALANCED LUNCH
Raleigh, Sept. 24.?Folks are leant,
ing in North Carolina that the pro.
greng a child makes at school de
pends on his general health and that
his health Is greatly affected by the
kind of food eaten.
"t'Thig makes the school lunch a
great importance," says Miss Mary
Thomas, nutrition specialist at State
College. "About one-fourth of the
food for a day should be in the lunch
box and to balance this food so that
the child will be well nourished, some
planning is necessary. The well plan
best lunch is spoiled by careless pack
form, a substantial food, usually in;
the form of sandwiches, some fruit'
01 vegetables, a fat, preferably in the i
torm of butter, and a sweet in the
form of simple cakes or fruits."
Then when such a luncheon has
been prepared, pack it well, suggests
Miss Thomas. Often, she states, the
est lunch is spoiled by careless pack-!
ing. A metal box or bucket with j
holes for ventilation, or a good sub.'
stantial basket makes the most de- J
sirable container. Oil paper for wrap |
ping the food, paper napkins, a spoon,
a bottle for the milk, a cup and a!
jelly glass with a tight fitting lid or
a screw top jar for cooked fruits. ve-|
getables, salads or desserts will go
far towards making the luncheon
more attractive.
In packing the lunch, the heavier
foods should be placed at the bottom
of the container and as compactly as
I possible to prevent spilling. Those
foods which are to be eaten first
should be placed on top where pos
sible.
Miss Thomas has prepared a num.
ber of very attractive menus to use
for the school lunch. Just a few cold
i things left over from the breakfast
table is not sufficient, she states, and
she will be glad to mail a copy of
these menus to those parents who
wish to have this information.

OUR RALEIGH LETTER ?
____ ?
By JL L. Slilpn
Raleigh, Sept. 24.?Raleigh desisted
from the recent habit it had contract-,
ed of talking politics day in and day
oat to take notice of the terrific equl-|
liotlcal storm passing northward from
Florida and the West Indies where
hundreds of lives were lost, thousands (
tendered homeless and property loss.'
es ran into staggering figures exceed-,
ing a hundred million dollars. On
reaching *his section the winds were
moving at the rate of from forty to
fifty miles au hour, but heavy down. I
pours of rain resulted in swollen ^
streams causing heavy property dam
age betwen Raleigh and the coast'
Between thiry and forty trees were
uprooted or broken off iu this city.
and onwards surrounding it were flood
ed.. During the storm period an ex-j
plosion and fire occurred in the sub
station of the Carolina Power and(
Light Company which silenced the
machinery in all industrial plants
here for practically an entire day and j
prevented the operation of street car3 (
fcr many hours. Heavy damage to
telegraph and telephone lines over th?
State .are reported, while washouts
on railroads and highways hindered
traffic in eastern Carolina for two or
three days. . |
Tlie political pot has passed the 1
simmering stage and is expected to
reach the boiling point most any old
time. Both parties have taken to the
air and radio addresses are not un
common in these hectic times. The
radio battle started last Tuesday af
ternoon, when Miss Mary Meekins,
daughter of Federal Judge Isaac M.
Meekins spoke for fifteen minutes from
station WPTF broadcasting from the
i oof of the Sir Walter Hotel, in the
interest of Herbert Hoover. ? Miss
Meekins appealed strongly to the wo
men of the State in her request for
their support of Mr. Hoover and took
Senator Overman to task for a rer
flection upon her candidate id the
Senator's Greensboro speech on Sat
urday previous. Miss Eliza Pool, well
known Raleigh teacher, followed with
a radio speech for Hoover ott Friday
while the Democrats were getting
ready to start their campaign ia the
air a day later with Mrs. Palmer Jer
man at the bat. It appears to be the
plan of both parties to use their wo
men in the radio campaign, with the
view of reaching tfie women voters in
every section of the State. The Re
publicans will utilize the Raleigh
station every yuesday and Friday and
the Democrats on Wednesdays and
Saturdays, ^the talks to be made from
1:45 to J:i>0 in the afternoons.
Chairman Mull, of the Democratic
Committee, has had scores of speak
ers tirthe field for weeks and express
es entire satisfaction With the cordial
receptions accorded them by Demo.
< ratio men and women wherever they
-have gone. Governor Gardner la tnak
ing a winning fight for all Democratic
nominees. His speeches are strong,
forceful and eloquent with no tinge
of censure for those who disagree on
men and Issues. He preaches North
Carolina democracy pure and unde
filed, points with pride to its glorious
record in the State and the danger of
risking governmental affairs in the
keeping of the Republican party. Nor
is Mr. Gardner neglecting to put in
a word for the Smith-Robinson ticket.
| He is hamstringing nobody. Rather
ithan do this he would, himself, go
down to defeat. And this same policy
prevails at State Democratic -head
quarters. It is announced that Chair
roan Mull and his co-workers will
continue to give their full support to
every nominee of the Democratic par
ty, believing that the success of the
party is more important than the
opinion, attitude or fortune of any
individual of the party. Smith for
President literature is going out with
the North Carolina Democratic Hand
book, ten thousand copies of which
have been printed for the information
of Tar "Heel electors.. Regular Demo
crats hereabouts express themselves
as being very well pleased with the
speeches which Gov. Smith is mak
ing out west, especially his unequivo
cal endorsement of the principle ot
farm relief so strongly emphasized In
the Houston platform.
News trickling in from western
counties indicate that Governor Smith
is picking up as the campaign pro
gresses in the mountain counties. The
antls up that way appear to be losing
hope of defeating Smith in the State,
li is said, and at the same time are
beginning to realize the danger demo
cratic division might bring to the
State ticket. In close counties the
legislative ticket is considered of too
much Importanoe to be jeopardized
bj differences of any character be
tween Democrats. In Wake, Mecklen
burg and some other counties in the
Piedmont and Eastern sections the
auti-Smith sentiment Is more piro
pronounced. Local tickets are in no
danger and, believing the State is safe
for Gardner, many Democrats are
taking a stand against Governor Smith
orenly and defiantly. An auspicious
opening, from their view point. Is re
potted from Charlotte where 2,000
men and women waded through rain
aud mud one night recently to hear
F. R. McNincb, State manager ot the
anti-Smith committee, enumerate bis
cbjections to the election of Alfred E.
Smith to the presidency ot the United
States. Raleigh sympathizers who at
tended were so highly pleased with
the effort of Mr. McNinch that ar
rangements hare been perfected for
his appearance here at the City An
t dltorium on Wednesday evening of
tills week. ' -
Regular Democrats here are great
ly elated over the prospects of a visit
from Governor Alfred E. Smith before
the cloee of the campaign and that
he will deliver at least one address
at some point in the State, either
Charlotte, Greensbcfro or Raleigh. The
