Circus Headliner i nn Senorita Thressa, petite Spanish aerial star, pictured above is one of the stars featured in the program of the big combined Sparks manag ed Downie Bros. Circus which is scheduled for matinee and night performances on the Colonial ball park grounds, Thursday, Sept. 6. Said to be the only one of her sex ever to accomplish such daring feats of the air the dainty senorita, who has thrilled all Europe with her skill and daring on the high flying trapeze, daily performs her forward sommersault through space from the swinging bar many feet above the saw'dust covered rings catching the bar on the return by her heels. There are daring and thrilling feats aplenty in the big circus program, but, the ones pro vided by the senorita are said to be most unusual. Watching her slim glimmering form as she slides grace fully through her routine takes a quick eye and a steady nerve and she will leave little to imagine for the "human bird” to accomplish when she has finished her turn. Jack Hoxie, famous cowboy, who appears in person with the circus and George Hanneford and the Hanneford family of riders as well as Clara Codona, another aerialist and the hundreds of other circus celebrities in the Downie cast with the army of clowns and many new and novel circus presentations of the 1934 Sparks offering bring back to the tented world a touch of the real old time circus where three rings are kept amply active and in the modern setting of special lights and comfortable chairs lending a new and pleasing effect to the cir cus of today. The noonday street parade is said to be another Sparks masterpiece. SKEPTICAL Suitor: "So you told your father that I was earning $4,000 a year.

"Efficient appraisal reduces the risks of overvaluation which would be injurious to the corporation’s interest, and of undervaluation, which would adversely affect home owners and holders of home mort gages.” Kniskern declined to reveal the subjects which were' given the North Carolina and South Carolina appraisers, but admitted the exam ination included tests of their knowledge of house construction and certain economic subjects. The examination papers of the Caro linas appraisers are now in Knis kern’s office and will be carefully checked over and graded. After grading they will be returned to the individuals who submitted them. Although Kniskern did not say so, it was learned that the apprais er examinations are a part of the general culling process which has been going on in the HOLC ever since John H. Fahey became chair man. In the early days of the or ganization many persons were hired as appraisers who had no previous knowledge of the work. The result was that the HOLC became the butt of much criticism for poor ap praisal work. Kmskern declined to say what svould happen to the appraisers who 'flunk” the examinations, but said: "You may draw your own con tusions as to that.” Not merely is it desirable to mild more houses on vacant lots, mt we need to build more ideas in vacant minds.

Surveys To Begin For Rural Electric Lines In Counties North Carolina’s rural electrifi cation program has been approved by FERA authorities at Washing ton and actual work will be started within two weeks, states Prof. A. F. Weaver of the state program. The next step, Prof. Weaver said, is the selection of 75 men to make a survey of the 7 5 counties request ing electrification. These men will be in the field within two weeks and the results of their surveys should be ready in 30 days. One man will be selected from each of the 75 counties and those selected must be on the county fed eral relief roll. Prof. Weaver said. The survey the men will make will cost approximately $8,5 00. The money will come from FERA funds. One day district schools will be held in five sections of the state during the next two weeks to train the men for the survey. Following the, instruction the men will cover the route of proposed lines in each county to obtain essential data. The first school will be held Tues day, August 28, at Chapel Hill. Others will be held at Tarboro, August 29; Statesville, September 4; Charlotte, September 5, and Asheville September 7. Each school will be attended by approximately 15 men from counties within the district. Twenty-five counties mostly a long the most and those in the far western part of the stare, have not asked for rural electrification, Prof. Weaver says, and no surveys will be made in them.

Pursley’s kicking mule, sent to a chaingang recently as a disciplinary measure, is back home still as obstreperous as ever. She kicked the daylights out of Pursley’s farm machinery and then proceeded to mutilate chaingang equipment. She even had designs for assault on convicts, guards and everyone else. Pursley, of the Fibert section, sent the mule to the gang several weeks ago after the animal had practically ruined a lot of his farm machinery. "It’ll teach her a lesson,” said he. But the mule is back at home— and gang guards were glad of it. The farmer doesn’t know what to do with her, but the animal knows what to do with herself. She just continues kicking.

Davidson Prepares Stiff Grid Schedule Davidson.—Football is just a round the corner, and from all parts of the state come reports on the prospects for the 1934 season. All the deposters are tdying to figure how the "Big Five” cham pionship race will come out, and very few are having any success at doing it. From up here in the northern tip of Mecklenburg county comes the report that Davidson’s Wild cats will be better and stronger than ever this year, but also that they will face bigger and stronger foes than have ever been met by a Wildcat team. With eleven out of 16 letterman returning along with a flock of good reserves, and a smattering of likely freshmen, it appears that Coaches "Doc” Newton and Gene McEver will have the best mater ial that any Davidson coaches have had in a great many years. All together it looks to the cas ual observer as though the Wild cats will have a good team, but that the competition will be plen ty stiff, and that there will be plenty of hard fights on the sche dule. The complete schedule follows: Sept. 22—Elon at Davidson. Sept. 29—N. C. State at Greens boro (night game). October 6—Army at West Point. October 20—Duke at Davidson. October 27—Citadel at Charles ton. November 3—William and Mary at Davidson. November 10 — Carolina at Davidson (homecoming). November 1—V. M. I. at David son. November 29—Wake Forest at Davidson (Thanksgiving). Alfred Smith says no one shoots at Santa Claus, but someone may promise him a hand-out if he will make frequent visits.
