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.
