Whether the big show la ex hibiting in the Canadian Northwent or adjacent to a southern cotton plantation In Georgia, the question the ahowmnn henra from outatdera are identically the name. These re mftrk are: "What do you do In the winter; travel In Florida. I auppoae?" "Why do you have mostly gray horses?" "It must be a hard life; when do you sleep?" "Where do you go from here7" Maybe It ta because the circus has the fundamental qualities It had 00 years ago. It Is the old time per ennial bloomer. Thnt is the roason we know to a mathematical cer tainty what you millions of towns people like beat In the big show, and what you are curious about Now regarding "mostly all gray horses," for Instance. Circus owners know you are Interested In the wild animals, the horses, the elephants and the old moss back "it must b tough on you when it rains." I have been asked a thousand questions about the "dniy" horses. Not Alunya Smiles Tou ae a slip of feminity cavort ing on the back of a horse, executing poses, and throwing a smile now and then. The fair rider Is perfectly at ease when sitting on the steads broad haunches, for she is only let ting the horse get lis gait and at the same time get her own "wind" and courage. When the rider get ready to turn a somersault on the galloping how, there are no smiles. It Is a mighty serious business. In tuitively they know Just how to throw their bodies to make a per fect landing. It takes years of prac tic and study and Innumerable falls. There was Oeorge St. Leon, a fine, manly follow who came to this country from Australia with his mother and three sisters. Ills folks had been performers for generations. One night Just as he was turning a somersault on his horse, the ani mal stumbled. George fell heavily on a stake. His riding days were over. And now he acts as a ringmaster for his wife, who, too, is a famous equestrian. Circus performors for the most part are fatalists. They seldom think of accident. If one comes, they shrug their shoulders, and sny It is part of the game, some destined to get It, others not. About 990 out ot every thousand aocldents are not caused by the fault of the per former, but when some bit of their apparatus break or worka loose. Tha simple looking feat of one supporting his body on one hand resting on another's head looks easy enough, but it takes years of prac tice. Indeed the training starti when the performers are only five or six years of ne. and back of this are the years of heredity. Their act in the ring only requires five or six minutes, but between shows In the afternoon, the rings are always fill ed with performers trying new feats and listening to the ad vice of the elders. The aerlnllst who sails from trapeze across a yawning space, ex ecuting a double somersault nnd landing safely in the arms of his comrndc, knows nothing of executing a somersault on a tight wire, or riding on tha back of a horse. Did you ever go down and see the circus come In? Hundreds of people do. Many of them haven't failed to se the circus come In since they were kids. They get up at 4:00 a. m. to greet the show trains. It used to be my Job to meet the trains nnd point out the dif ferent croMlngs that had been pro pared for unloading. You would be surprlsed to see hot only the men, real captains of Industry, but hun dreds of women. Yes. when It's cir cus time there is many a dirty dish In tha kitchen sink. Work In Winter Where do you go In winter? It is only the performers, musicians and working men who leave the circus when It disbands In the fnr south, late. In November. Tha win ter season la the hardest time ot the year. New wagons must be hullt. new seats, equipment, etc. Circus property la highly perishable and must he replaced, for the mewt part.

Getting readys for circus day, to the men who have millions Invented, means day of hard work. The performers, many of them rest for the winter.

Left Radio-operated instruments which tripped three stop watches and started tfcree others every time the flying Hudson Stock Sedsn interrupted the beam from an electric eye. Extreme accuracy is the watchword in the timing of records certified by the Contest Board ol the American Automobile Association. At Muroc Dry Lake, California where a Hud son sedan set 36 stock car records on April 12 and 13, the latest scientific devices were employed to have the timing correct to the thousandth part of a second. A continuous current flowed through the electrical timing device interrupted only when the passing of the car broke the beam of a photo-electric cell, commonly known as an "electric eye." When the beam was broken, three stop watches were instantaneously stop ped and three others were started. The time was read from the three watches and averaged, giving the elapsed time for the lap. The watches wre then reset ready lor the next lap. The total elapsed time for the run was checked against a chro nometer certified by the Bureau of Standards. Four of the 30 records were unlimited class. Election of officers of the South ern Oregon Bar association waa held Friday night, with W. T. Miller ol Grant Pass beln named to super cede O. M.
