SAN DIEGO, March 28. 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

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

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.

Naturally the D'Autremont showini? interested us. There were

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. Inciden
tally the park gets these permanent buildings at "no eusl to the

VITAMIN'S AND

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

ment of the parathyroid glands.
As a rule the parathyroids thus
compensating for deficiency of vita

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.

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.

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. Very well Inform
ed authorities here believe It could
not have gone on any longer by
Itself.
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.

French Lessons
To the Editor:
A great many Inquiries have been
received by me, regarding the free
French class recently started. 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.
A special Invitation to Join the
class Is extended to members of the
American Legion and relatives. The
next lesson will be Tuesday evening
at 7:30 at the Senior high school.
