In the third year of the exposition the Indians demanded a merry-go-round and got it. In addition, there was one concession where Indian chestnut bread was sold. Now there are more than 50 concessions includ ing hot dog stands, rides and other amusement places. Until 1919 there were no Indian at traction in addition to the display of native products. The ball games this year will be played at 2 p. m. each day of the fair. Teams of twelve men each already have been holding long practices and consulting medicine men for charms to give them strength, fleetness and cunning. The players are equipped with short sticks. A hickory nut usually serves as a ball. A judge tosses it into the air, and the game is on. The players may advance it goalward in any man ner they choose.

Then I'd send them the for a sociological problem the bar room drunk which, if universally adopted, would boom the motion pic ture equipment industry, turn bar tenders into cameramen and reduce the inebriate to a pitiful figure of cringing remorse. The idea is as unique as Brown's career as mill worker, song plunger, Ziegfeld singing star and night club manager. . He is one answer to the question: "What ever becomes of musical comedy juveniles?" From his observations and experiences with cafe society he evolved his plan, which his adversaries can stop him in any expedient manner. A maximum prize of $50 goes to the winning team. The losers get $25. Daily archery and blow gun contests will be held. Targets usually are set at 100 feet. Competition Keen Competition is expected to be keen this year in the native dances for which a purse of $200 is postedTeams will include Birdtown, Soco, Big Cove and others. Dances will include the quail, snake, Kvomen-wood, beaver, bear, green corn and other rites. On the last day the team winning first place will dance the Victory dance.

"If they didn't have a projection machine they'd soon find someone who did and once they saw how silly they look, they'd never do it again. Why they'd send letters of apology to the proprietor." Although Brown, a handsome, broad-shouldered, well-built fellow, is called the manager of the Stork, and has held the same title in other plush and platinum punch parlors, he ac tually is the greeter, the glad-hander and the master of ceremonies who keeps the customers happy. His only peer in this line is genial Sherman Billingsley, the boss of the Stork. Brown entered the night club field about eight years ago as a singer after a successful career in musical come dies and revues which included seve ral editions of the Ziegfeld Follies and the Greenwich Village Follies. For seven winters he appeared at the exclusive Colony Club or Patio Club in Palm Beach, Fla. In 1935 he went to work at El Morocco, one of the East Side's fancier honkey-tonks, as an entertainer. Two years later he was manager of the place. He moved over to the Stork when El Morocco closed for the summer this year.
