Well, Barnes' big animal circus did what the International Exposition has not been able to do since it opened for the second year. By pitching its tents within the gates, it got a crowd to come through the turnstiles. It was advertised as a gala night, a high society night, and a Hollywood star night all the popular stars were to come down for the occasion. The "gala" was there, perhaps San Diego high society, only one section of the reserved seats, was un occupied, but as predicted, Hollywood stars, weren't. The one representative from Hollywood was Charley Murray, of Kelly and Cohen fame, and if this venerable Irish comedian is a movie star, then Patsy Kelly is the whole Milky Way. How ever the crowd was there, which was the main thing. . a However, the San Diego Humdinsjers Inc., had an ace in the hole. When Charley Murray satellite, and introduced by the phone took his bow the announcer turned toward the other side of the Big Tent and asked Harold Lloyd, Eddie Cantor, Ginger Rogers, Mae West, Marlene Dietrich, Anna May Wong ana Bette Davis to do the same. in person, but their "stand ius"l This failed to make much been on the Midway has seen parading in their grease paint minutes. En passant, these 2-bit actors and actorines do closely re semble the various stars, but the show they put on its an amus ing gyp. For with the exception of the gal who doubles for Marlene, they only do on the inside for 30 cents what they already had done on the outside for nothing, i. e. : they parade across the stage, as the "perfessor" introduces them and tinkles the keys of a secondhand upright piano, neither singing a song, nor uttering a line. We remember Al Barnes, when he started his great animal circus in Spokane over quarter of a century ago. We were doing "editorials" on the Spokesman-Review then, and Al liked newspaper men. His assets as we recall them in 1908 or 1900, were: one flea-bitten elephant, a couple of mangy lions suffer ing from pyorrhea, and a yellow diamond shirt stud. But he had great physical vitality, self confidence, and what is ro often referred to today as "guts" unquestioned essentials in the circus business. Now look at the if it isn t the "greatest show on est animal circus, we have ever Thmk of literally a HERD of .. . ; ""-" ,u s"" j speed and precision of so many trained soldiers, and the horses ! I We owe the Barnes circus nothing, for we had no Annie Oakley had for the first time in a hundred years to buv a circus ticket, but if this show advice to those who haven't outgrown the circus appeal is not to miss it. it s good very good no doubt of that. For the post week we have attended the exposition nearly every day, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. We grant there are few exhibits worth looking at but there are one or two, and there is interesting music, the Globe Shakespearean players putting on excellent condensations of the immortal bard, every little while; good food if one happens to be hungry, and as before stated the fact practically no ono is there, outside of the guards and attendants, is for us at least, an added inducement. Then it's such a beautiful place, by day and even more beautiful by night. There have been greater expositions and "world's fairs" of course, far greater ones, but. none ever was given such a setting, as Balboa park has given the "great California International." There are also many amusing features. The buildinpr on the central plaza for example, marked BUILDING OP INTERNA TIONAL ART, houses on one side a sort of glorified five and ten cent store, retailing cheap jewelry and touristy objects d'art; and on the other a very modern drug store, which spe cializes of course in soft drinks and three and four deck sand wiches! At the end of the plaza however, in 11 beautiful setting of shrubs and flowers with a background of towering eucalyptus trees is the building of Fine Arts. Rather a pathetic showing, but one room paid us for our visit. It is devoted to the work of the late Arthur Putnam, brother of George Putnam, now of the Salem Capital Journal, formerly editor of the Mail Tribune. Here are some of Arthur Putnams best known animal models, though there are more in the I.egion of Honor collection in San Francisco. Putnam's brilliant career was tracieallv cut short by a fatal illness, but even so before his death he was recognized by Rodin, the famous French sculptor, ns a "master" in the realm of animal sculpture. We claim no special know ledge in this department of the plastic arts, but even to n layman, the grace, strength and integrity of Putnam's animals in bronze, are stirring and impressive. Yesterday roaming about the another laugh. We were inspecting the exhibit of the Depart ment of Justice, in the section devoted to train robberies. Naturally the D'Autremont showini? interested us. There were pictures. of Hugh and the twin that unforgettable Siskiyou tragedy. As we were lookintr it over a small boy crowded up followed by two men and a woman. Ho was much interested in the three pictures aud the sa wed-off shotgun and automatic nearby. He suddenly turned to the woman in the group and pointing m finger at the D'Autre monta asked excitedly, "Say Ma. is that Daddv and Fnele Gor- don? (If anyone is skeptical evidence.) In spite of the miserable attendance, the hiirher-uns handliuu this exposition are not discouraged. The exposition didn't open until May last year and when the season closed had a balance of something like $.W,000. Since opening this year, three months EARLIER, there has been rain and cold weather practi cally without, interruption. It has been clear the past two or uiree nays, hut is sti! com and raw for San Diego. It is believed that when it really becomes settled and summer begins, the "fair" may do ns well as last year. If not that, at least, there will be no financial loss, and considerable indirect benefit in increased tourist travel and favorable publicity. Well here's hoping! We were surprised to learn nearly all these exposition build ings are permanent and will remain after the show is. over. The plan now is to make them a ort of imuical and cultural center for southern California. We see no reason why this shouldn't be done. It shows one of the great advantages in constructing an exposition in a PERMANENT park, and in tjiia case one of the most beautiful parks in the world.

CaL VITAMIN'S AND More than ten years before the dis covery of vitamin D by Mellanby (1918) the Englishman, a, German In vestlgator Erdhelm (1607) regarded e n largemtnt of tHe parathyroid glands, which generally occurs In osteomalacia or softening of bones and In other decalcify lng diseases of the skeleton, as a compens atory process. That Is. the parathyroid glands presum ably secreted something which was lacxing in such disease states. Today we have considerable evi dence that either an Insufficient dally ration of vitamin D or lack of ex posure of the naked skin to sunlight or to ultraviolet rays from some arti ficial source. Is a factor In enlarge ment of the parathyroid glands. As a rule the parathyroids thus compensating for deficiency of vita mln D or deficiency of exposure to ul tar violet light, or both, do not over do the Job, but secrete an Increased supply of the parathyroid hormone- (Internal secretion) only as there Is Increased need for It. In some In stances, however, the process Is car ried to excess, and then the patient suffers from hyperparathyroidism. The parathyroid glands, it must be remembered, may greatly increase their function without becoming en larged to any noticeable degree. In children who do not receive optimal rations of vitamin D or suf ficient exposure or naked skin to sunshine or , skyshlne or to ultra violet light, the parathyroid glands are quite likely to overcompensate. usually without appreciable enlarge ment. Here we arrive at the limit of our present knowledge. Just beyond, we expect, we shall find the keys to many ' melodies, both of children and adults, which have hitherto baffled every effort of physicians to conquer them. I do not wish to raise any hope where there Is no hope. On the other hand, X am eager to bring good tid ings where there Is a brighter out look. In this column last month I told everything I could tell about the new treatment of chronic arthritis with massive doses of vitamin D synthetic vitamin D necessarily, since no natural source can provide enough In sufficient concentration.

Since Ben De Casseres became so thoroughly domesticated the town has few dawn sitters.

Damon Runyon was one of the more earnest of the atayouts of a later era until his marriage Frisco, when In town, still wanders from bar to bar.

Brady, Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS IT'S hard to get away from this sub Ject of business Institutions snd business customs of earlier days In the Southern Oregon country. For one thing, the subject la fas cinatingly Interesting to this partic ular writer, and for another people keep bringing In new stories. HERE Is one : Bert Hall and Charley Horton, 30-odd years ago, were riding along out In the cattle country across the mountains. They passed a big herd of cattle beside the road and Mr. Horton, point ing to the cattle, said to Bert: "I lost a lot of money on those steers.' "How's that?" Bert queried. "WeU," was the reply, "I sold 'em a couple of weeks ago for six cents, and the market now U getting up toward eight." ERT craved details. "Did you sign any papers?" he asked. "Oh, no," was the answer. "We didn't sign anything. It was Just an offer, and I took It." "Was any money paid down?" Bert continued. "No, no money was paid. He Just made me an offer and I took It. That was all there was to It." 'ell,' Bert went on (he wanted to find out all about this loss that had been sustained, you see) "If no papers were signed and no money was paid down, why don't jrou Just cal Ithe deal off and sell at the pres ent market?" Mr. Horton looked at him In a sur prised way. "Hell," he replied. "It was a deal. wasn't It? And If my word Isnt go ing to be good In a deal how do you expect me to go on doing business?" A MONO responsible men. In those days, a deal was a deal, papers or no papers, and In that simple state ment you have the complete explana tion as to why men were willing to accept a check written against an overdraft or an order scribbled on -the back of an old envelope in payment for hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of property. Business was done largely on repu tation, and If a man was to go on doing business on a fairly large scaJe his reputation had to be good. If It wasn't good, h dldnt get far. QIMPLE business honesty Isn't the h-r exclusive possession of any age or any country. In spite of all the cynical gloom that sour pessimists may pour Into your ear. the general run of successful businessmen TODAY are honest and dependable. With surprisingly few exceptions, the successful business men of ALL ages have been honest and depend able. It Is by being fair, dependable and honest according to the standards of their time that men BECOME suc cessful for we are all alike In prefer ring to take our business to those upon whom we can rely. It Is not the intention here to try to make out that everyone In those earlier days was honest whereas peo ple in these days have to be general ly WATCHED. The point sought to be made la that business then wss done on a much SIMPLER basis, with few of the facilities that are now en Joyed, but In spite of lack of these modern facilities of which we are so proud they managed to do a pretty commendable Job of It. Men who wanted to get somewhere and BE SOMEBODY made their word good tn a deal, and by doing that they managed to get along very well without all the laws and the regula tions and the rules and the red tape that we consider so necessary.

The executive branch of the gov ernment appears to have borrowed some phases of this economy tech nique. Latest move was the restoration by reliefer Hopkins of 250.000 abol ished WPA Jobs In the flood area. Before that. President Roosevelt agreed to the restoration of all the CCC camps which he had earlier ordered abandoned. Just prior to that, he signed a bill restoring 26 day vacations and 15 days' sick leave for government employes. In cidentally, this was the last restor ation of the original economy law, adoDted shortly after the new deal csme in. The original 15 per cent salary cuts have been restored " well as all the veterans' cuts except one. And In addition the veterans have been voted a bonus. Thus white economy occupies the headlines, the whittling of econo mies appears to have become a more effective business. The general inner expectation is that spending from now until November will be greater than last year. Both Mr. Roosevelt and Genere.l Hag xxl kept quiet about their meet ing on the presidential train. Re cent news pictures of the general, however, show him without a smile. The reason may be the unan nounced fact that the war depart ment dug up all of Hagood's past troubles with his superiors and pre sented them to the president before he boarded the train. These troubles were several. The understanding around general staff headquarters here Is that Ha gocd will be restored to active duty at the end of his three montha leave If he does not retire In the meantime. He will not get back his old command and will not get any of the choice posts. A lot of shifts are going to take place among high ranking officers before Hagood's leave Is up. Hla name is now at the bottom of the list. Mussolini advertised his seizure of big business in Italy as a war move, but that did not fool any of the Insiders here. Big business In Italy has been so weakened by taxation and forced subscription to govern ment securities that It was In no position to resist.

The fact Is certain new deal econ omists here predicted this very atep In a confidential report drawn up two years ago on the trend of fas cist policies. They considered It in evl table. The funny part la that Mussolini took the communist way out. It was the greatest blow to capitalism in Europe since Russia. Tragedy of Childhood ENTERPRISE. March 30.

I wish. to state in reply that Inexpensive text books by Horman, which have become so poputar In the Spanish classes are used. They are now ob tainable. This Is an all-French course In. conversational French, which covera the grammar as well. Only adults are In the class, and time being lim ited, the method of teaching Is based cn the latest and best system used in colleges and private institutions of the United States and Europe. Briefly, after a few lessons, to ta rn 1 1 1 a r 1 z e beginners with the pronunciation, the teacher dictates questions tn French, based on sen tences already covered In the text book. The class Is assisted In writing them at flret and takes them home to answer. The replies are brought to the teacher and corrections are made. This involves an Intensive study of every word and sentence and, most Important, the -student knows exact ly where his mistakes are and what progress he Is making. It will readily be Been that this enables anyone, with either much or little knowledge of the language, by attending the classes any time, to review and greatly Improve hla knowledge.
