It is moving down metropolitan boulevards nnd plod ding through the spring nuid of ru ral roads. Already the first crack of the ring master’s whip has been heard in Madison Square Garden, where the lUngling-Barnum Show snaps into pyganfzed shape for the summer bounds. But even in the biggest show on earth.'' elephants and clowns remain the basic circus sym bols. The elephants are still the ele phants, what with ‘"Uncle John,” the famous pilot of the herd, maintaining a disciplined leader-, Ship taught him in the days that old P. T.

A veritable veteran ant) milking entertainer Is, for Instance 1 Felix Andler, who has spent but six to eight years with the big show * Therc’a Blufch who was uncle to the Lillian Leltzel, whose tragic death leaves the circus with no "queen of the air" to fill her place. And there’s Oharile Smith, also one of the chief lunatics of the younger generation. Producers New. The talking and singing clown has practically disappeared from the j ; arenas of all but the smaller and j more intimate tent shows. The | "walk around” lias gradually "eased out" the old solo-stair—the clowns must keep moving now, working in fast, acts and quick gags that will take them all around the hippo drome without disturbing the other acts. Most of these new clown num bers use "props" and require several persons for the "cracker " The old tableau Is fast passing and the clown in the "No, 1 spot” Is more rarely seen. A "producing clown,” one who contrives rapid-fire origi nal stunts. Is the highest paid oi the prankers. Where are the more eminent old clowns; the rollicking veterans of the tanbark? Some dead . . . some retired! Who remembers Spader Johnson? , Spader, the jester who used to mount a mock rostrum for a hilar ious stump speech that became a classic of the white tops? At last reports he was a steward in a New York suburban club Ana Marry tiuinzr . . it ms name Is unfamtliar, he’s the clown who created that, funny old lady who was always looking for a seat and arguing with ushers and getting put out of one section after another She wore a venerable bonnet and carried a dilapidated umbrella which she would bring down over usher's heads. She was the very spirit of a cash customer In revolt. Well,, that was Harry Stanz. And, he has retired and was living In To ledo when last heard from. Oh yes, and have you forgotten Hurry Ryan? He was another of the famous before-the-perfovmance en tertainers. He was the oaf who ar rived carrying a bulky camera, roaming about the tent looking for timid souls, embarrassing them by setting up his trick paraphernalia and pretending to shoot pictures of them In various poses. He is report ed to be manager of a theater somewhere in Michigan, And there was the tragic Slivers Oakley; with his one-man baseball team. Bill Stoddard was one of the fa mous "rubes" who met you at the entrance shortly after you’d cashed in your tickets. Or Randolph, the fellow who walked about with a plank on his head, always threatening to hit someone with it when he turned suddenly. And Fred Le Clair, who conceived the man with a camel like back; and those comedy cops who anticipated the early days of the old Keystone films, with the troupe headed by such famed ones of the sawdust as Henry Silow and Bill Ford. All of them were troupers who made millions laugh for genera tions! And there were many more —such as Lou Nichols, who intro duced the large dog disguised us a lion or Bob Sherwood, the old Bar num clown who now runs a book store In lower Manhattan, or Herb Jseph, one of the best known of the rodeo clowns, or, one of the most original of them all, Snelllng, who chased a butterfly that- always was a few feet, ahead of him because it ws attached to a small wire; Slater, who was chased by a bulldog that fastened its teeth In a leather de vice on the seat of his pants; Bill Hamllg, who was a clown for some 35 years— Just part of the vast motley pa rade that has gone by! Meanwhile you can take it from Dexter Fellows, most celebrated of circus exploiters, the big show' goes merrily on—the thriller of this par- j ticular season being a gent who carries iris wife on his back in an 80-foot dive to land on his hands and chest, a variation oh the ‘‘Des perado’’ thriller of some seasons back.

Chickens Forget How To Peck When Fed In Darkness __ 4 Ann Harbor, Mich.—The instinct for pecking has been lost by some chickens under psychological tests lit the University oL Michigan. This blow to faith In instinct Was developed by Sinforsn. Padilla, a re search worker. In 16 duys baby chicks lost their Instinct for pecking so completely they might have starved to death In the midst of piles of grain-food that they previously hnd learned to eat Immediately after hatching they were placed in dark rooms where they could see nothing to peck at and were fed by placing the food so far back in their throats that t|iey did hot get the sensation of having received it through their bills. A few days of this had little ef fect. Ten days, however, made them unable to peck accurately, and after 16 days, if they were not to starve, it was necessary to gir o them a long period of training in pecking. Lost Tribes Exist In Forgotten Area Washington.—Tucked away In odd corners of southeastern and Gulf states, exists a number of lost tribes, surviving remnants of once proud and powerful Indian nations. Forgotten by tire world, known only to those immediately around them, these scattered peoples ale being sought out by the Indian of fice. It wants to know how they live and what they need. For tills task they have employed Roy Nash, a former soldier, forest er, social worker and globe-totter, who has spent three years In Bra zilian jungles, and two In Philip pine forests In Robeson county, North Caro lina, are 10.000 or 12,000 Cherokees of mixed blood. These once were known as Croatans with a legend of descent from Raleigh's lost col ony. They offer no problem to the federal government, however, as the state mr.lntains some 75 schools for them.

Norfolk Dixie Cotton Farmers Fight Russian Threat Economy of Production, Improved Grade Staple, More Home Grown Feed, Food Weapons, Atlanta, April 29.-—Southern farmers have taken steps to meet the threat of Russian competition in the. world cotton markets. Economy of production, improved quality of staple and more home grown feed and food are three of the weapons being used to combat the menace as the result of organ ized campaigns which were formed early this year in several states to bring the farmers face to face with the facts and to stress the import ance of fallowing a definite farm program. Authorities now predict that the 1931 cotton crop will be produced at less cost per pound than any crop since the World war. "The declining cotton prices In recent years, ..and more especially the terrific slump during the past two years, has brought home to all of us the necessity for producing cheaper cotton," declared J. C Hol ton, commissioner of agriculture In Holton pointed out that cheaper cotton may be produced by the use of added machine power to take place of expensive man labor; by fertile soil, whether the fertility be artificial or natural; and in its final effect by the practice of |economy generally. | '‘The Russian government," Hol ton said, "has employed experts to supervise, the production of cotton; they have supplied the most mod ern machinery for cultivating the crop; they have sent to America and probably other countries for the best seed available, and they afe producing a uniformly high quality of cotton which has a staple superior to the bulk of American staple." Cotton experts at Clemspn col lege in South Carolina says that cotton contests conducted over a period of five years already have brought about Improvements both as to lower costs and better staple in that state. Plant One Variety. In Mississippi, which along with Arkansas and Louisiana has two I distinct types of cotton farming:, a ■state-wide effort has been made to j encourage the growth of better cot j ton through organizations called "one variety cotton communities Here all farmers in a given area plant only one variety of cotton, se- j lected by a vote of .those interested j several of the best farmers near the' eenter of the community are chosen j as pedigreed cotton breeders, and j tnese •furnish seed for all the oth ers, In other states various methods looking toward Improvement have been made and the experts say ex cellent results are noted. Coupled with these projects is a wave ofr enthusiasm for production; of food and feed crops at home, and j agricultural authorities are reason ably certain that the Fall of 1931 will find Southern farmers on a! more self-sustaining basis than a t j only time in history. One evidence of this enthusiasm! is tlie growth of the dally Indus- ] try in practically every state. More; winter crops as such Austrian peas.! vetch, oats, rye and wheat were planted last fall and winter than in' any recently year. Reports indicate1 a larger acreage in most states Home gardens and canning projects have become a necessary part of every farm program. The trend is stronger than ever toward the planting of more than one cash crop. However, it is established that cotton will be the south’s chief cash crop for years to come, and the urge on every hand is to produce better cotton, at a lower cost, to meet competition of Russian and othe’-' I foreign countries. ♦ | "We must produce better cotton | than Russia does, at a lower cost ■ than Russia does," is fast becoming j the slogan of the cotton belt. A scientist says that some kinds lot bacteria split every thirty min utes, establishing a record which even the Democratic party call n >t I hope to equal —Springfield Union.
