THE 3JORMXO OKEGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 1921 ANIWIALS HOLD GAZE CIRCUS VISITORS ML A 0 J S 0 0 BY LEONE CASS BAER D'ye remember the day the boy next door told you there wasn't any "Santy Claus." that it was your paw or Uncle Ed dressed up like Santy Claua, to fool you? Vo you recall the bitter hour when you four.d that your lovely dolly had only suwdust Inside her, and that Inter dreadful moment when you caw an actress without her make-up and had another Ideal shattered? All my life I have firmly believed that the terrible blood-sweating be hemoth of the African Jungles and the Iiiver Nile actually oozed rich red corpuscles through his hide. Pictures of him In my "Jogerfy" and memories of the huge gold cage that bore his picture and never himself In the circus parade always conveyed htm to me as bathed la a neat and classy mist of gore. It has been fond and cherished belief, clung to out oZ a million other nattered Ideas of the circus. Gone are the wasp-walsted fairy girls in tullo skirts, who Jumped through paper hoops while pirouetting on the wld. backs of creamy steeds; gone are the flying: trapezieta who worked perilously from one end of the tent to the other; gone Is the dashing an nouncer who wore evening clothes all the time and a hlah silk hat and said lad-ees and gentlemen you are now about to witness, etc.. etc. These and Other Ileloveds. These and other beloveds have gone their way and modern Improvements are In their stead. Acrobats who whirl and leap, ladles who dangle dizilly by their molars and .bicuspids, girls In evening frocks with full length trains who switch the trains over their arms and balance skilfully on old Dobbin's back. But out of the changes that have been run I have clung to my memory of the blood tweating behemoth. Monday 4oc Stewart, "who Is the press bureau of the Sells-Floto show, mentioned casually that the theory about hippopotamuses perspiring their life's blood away Is all bunk. "Rot" la what he said. "A press agent yarn started years ago, like Anna Held's milk baths, or the harm less myth that elephants have mar velous memories and never forget the hand that fed them peanuts with pepper In 'em, or that clowns are really all broken-hearted and have to act happy while they are ciylng un der their make-up, and that other one that the horses have cuckle burs put under their saddles to make them prance In the ring. The behemoth Is an expensive animal. This one with the Sells-Floto show cost 110.000. He l'ves In a made-to-order cage with a pool of water In it and his keeper never leaves him, even sleeping on a ' pallet In the hippopotamus' caga. "The keeper's matn duty besides feeding and caring for the animal Is to wash him off with a huge water filled brush. The thick hide needs lots of water, and because the tank cannot be made deep enough while we are on tour, to allow the beast completely to submerge himself In wa ter we have to keep his akin moist. Whenever the skin gets dry It cracks and, of course, bleeds, and that Is where the story originated that the hippopotamus sweats blood." Crowds around the cages attested that animals still fascinate as long as they are properly tethered. A nest of baby leopards, freckled and frisky, claimed the interest of every woman who saw them and we all commented on the attitude of Mrs. Leopard, who made herself Into a background and smiled proudly at the attention her babies elicited. You couldn't get near the monkey cage, and Doc Stewart al lowed that he often wondered why a million people would stampede and stand six deep In fascinated absorp tion before the den of ornery $7 apiece monkeys and pass by with a cursory glance at a I70U0 set of lions or tigers. Klepbanta Are All Chained. A bolshevik elephant, named Billy Sunday, was tethered oft to one side because he ate a lady or something, and all the rest of the big pachyderms are heavily nailed down with chains and allowed lots of elbow room In which to sway their huge bodies and toss their trunks. Ulack-maned lions and their wives, beautiful wicked looking tigers, llamas and a sacred .ox, bird and goats, ostriches and dromedaries, bears and lovely little deer, plenty of horses, and a troupe of trained seals, all these and more are in the menagerie. This part of the Sells-Floto show la a sort of soo, and one may wander at will, admiring the natural history ex hibit, for this Is one circus where the animals are not used In the exhibition In the big tent. Save for the big pageant that opens the show, most of tbe animals remain In their cages, and only the trained seals, the dozen elephants and tbe horses appear in the rings. The rest Is Ilka a fine never ending vaudeville show, with trapexlsls giv ing way to acrobats, and acrobats giving way to strong-Jawed girls fly ing like butterflies, and these to be followed by splendidly posed groups of statuary and so on and so on. The Hannaford family, late of the New York Hippodrome and earlier from London, and world-famed Is the big event in the ring. There Is Poodles, the Charlie Chaplin ofvthe tanbark, nnd his charming mother, and hia pretty wife, and his equally pretty sister, and his two brothers. Poodles la a clown of original ec centricities and dovetails his leap ing and somersaults and dancing so that he always comes out In a sur prising and totally unexpected situa tion. He has the gift of pantomime and abounding good spirits which he till idalntalns despite the bandage be wears on his head where the robber clouted him the other day. The Han naforda ride and dance and acrobat delightfully on horns and off of them and are soundly cheered. The flying Nelsons dare and devil and delight on the flying trapeze and 13 buge brutes are put through amaz ing antics by Ida Delno, Stella Rol land and Minnie Fisher. Clowns add their quota and go over the top with fun, and a female Impersonator. Eddie Briggs, adds hilarity for the ones who aren't fooled.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 20. The tax revision bill will be sent to the president by late in October. Chair man Penrose predicted in announcing that the senate finance committee had formally approved the house measure as amended. Neither the Smoot manufacturers' sales tax nor the Calder proposal to Impose a tax of 36.40 a gallon on all alcoholic liquors withdrawn from bond for other than manufacturing purposes will be included In the measure as It will be presented to the senate tomorrow. The authors have given notice, however, that they expect to present these amendments n the senate. Senator Penrose eald that it was the plan to take the bill up imme diately and press for final action. He added that some features, partlcu larly the profits tax repeal and the proposed reduction of the maximum income surtax rate to 32 per cent. wou.d be opposed from "certain quarters." but that there seemed to be a desire to expedite the passage. Yield fmt at 300,000,000. "Under these circumstances." he continued, "there Is a reasonable ex pectation that the bill can be passed in the senate with two weeks' con sideration and ought not to require more than a week in conference." While treasury experts-have yet to complete their final estimate as to the total revenue that probably will be realized this fiscal year under the measure, it was stated that the amount would not be less than 33.200,000.000, the minimum which Secretary Mellon informed the com mittee would be necessary. For the next fiscal year it is estimated roughly that the return would be around 32,700.000.000. The Smoot sales tax plan was dis cussed further in the commitee with treasury experts participating, but Chairman Penrose said Senator Smoot had stated afterward that he was willing not to press the amend ment in the committee, but would re serve the right to submit It to the senate. The committee did not take a vote on the proposal, he chairman tdded. The Calder whisky tax amendment already has been accepted in principle by the committee and Senator Pen rose said the New York senator would present it in the senate, practically a committee amendment. Senator Cal der also reserved the right to offer another amendment to tax 2.75 per cent beer at j a barrel. Before finally approving the bill the committee voted two additional changes. Under one. amusement ad mission charges not exceeding 10 cents would be exempt from the 1- cent tax Imposed by the present law, Under the other hotels' would pay a tax of 10 per cent on the amount charged to transients for rooms if the sum exceeded 33 for one ptrson and 8 for two persons. Repeal Agreed Oa. Before taking Its final vote on the house bill as revised, the committee agreed to an amendment repealing the 1 cent tax on amusement admis sion charges of 10 cents or less. Treas ury experts estimated that this pro vision would reduce government rev enues by 35.000.000 a year. INDIAN YOUTHS SEE CITY Klamath Youngsters Delighted by Sights In Newspaper Plant.
