Bf Rernle lliwd
of Al O. Burnett Clrena 1
Thre aro three or four remark
that a olrctu man henra continu
ously. 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.

nftcr a strenuous season. New routes
must be laid out and considered,
new acta engaged. 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. Some
find profit nble employment In

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.

1000- mile record
beats best mark ever set by any closed car
NFAVS FLASH Muroc Lake, Cal., April 1336 official A.A.A.
records broken by a stock Hudson Eight. Top speed over 93
miles an hour for five miles. Average speed over 85 miles an
hour for 1000 miles and beyond. A clean sweep of every record
in its class up to and including 1000 miles ana 3000 kilometers,
and four unlimited class closed car records. Electrical timing
correct to a millionth part of a second and every record certified
by American Automobile Association.
Here's what it means to you. Probably you'll never
care to drive a car five miles at 93 miles an hour. Yet, it means a lot to
you to have a car that can go that fast to shoot out of traffic tangles
or flash you out ahead on the highway.
It isn't likely you'll want to drive a thousand-mile stretch at 83
miles an hour, but you do want a car with the fine engineering, power
and ruggedncss it takes to do this. Ordinary driving is no work at
all for a car like this.
That's what it means to own a Hudson smoother miles, more
enjoyable miles plus ruggedness and gasoline economy that make
those miles cost less. You can sec and drive an exact duplicate of
this record-breaking Hudson Fight at any Hudson showroom. You
can also sc the complete list of these 36 new records, and scores of
others held by I ludson-huilt cars. Take the wheel today and discover
what this record-breaking performance means to you.
