Many of these funsters you wilt see cavort ing about the hippodrome track cir cus day, spent the long winter months designing and planning their grotesque makeup and costumes. Un like other profeAslone the clown has to be 100 per cent sure his particu lar skit will elicit at least one hearty guffaw from all who see It. Failure to reach this 100 per cent record means more long months of planning and designing. This rigid rule ex plains. In part, why clowning Is really a serious buslneae. Clowns ot today, more than In the years post, lampoon current events.

The en tire life of a clown Is spent planning ways and means of making huge audiences laugh. He cares about nothing else. Meil time, or anytime wherever clown foregather, you will hear them earnestly discussing new ways to create merriment.

Many ot these men have passed up movie of fers solely because they would not be allowed to work out their own clowning problems. Strange to say clowning Is the one profession women have fatted In.
