WYNNE I'm convinced of one thing, the circus is for the young. It's enjoyed by one and all, but still, the circus as such is for the young who see it with the eyes of the young, unhindered by the cyn icism and the callousness that ap parently comes with age. I, for one, enjoyed the Shrine Polack Brothers circus again this year just as much as I have in past years, and my youngest son not quite 3, who was seeing it for the first time, was thoroughly fascinated by it. My older son, 6, divided his interest between the circus and the concession offerings. The aerialists were superb and the animal acts were excellent, also. 1 couldn't help thinking back to my memories of the old circus shows that used to come to our home town in the Midwest about twice a year. The big tent with all the fan fare ... the three rings ... the pennants flying . . . with a huge parade complete with calliope and parading elephants, everything in wagons including lions and tigers Usually we had one big circus a year, and then one carnival. I can still remember, too, pitch ing in to help get the circus ready for the shows, although I never did get the job of watering the elephants, thank goodness. The ringmaster was a figure of admiration with a stentorian voice that could be heard six blocks away, and he ran the show like a dictator. The whole thing snapped and crackled with the precision of months of practice. Viewing it through the eyes of a then 9 or 10-ycar-old boy, it had all the glamor, the sophistication of some thing truly out of this world. In turn, my lifelong ambitions were to be an elephant trainer, a lion tamer, a flying trapeze art ist, yes . . . or even the ring master. Watching my two sons at the Shrine circus tho other night, 1 could almost sec the same light kindling in their eyes that once burned in mine. I couldn't help thinking, also, of the cynicism that comes with age regarding the carnivals. In the yesteryears, 1 remember being thoroughly captivated by the fantastic sideshows, and insist ing that I visit them all. In many cases, I'd again pitch in to help get the carnival laid out, and would be paid off in passes to the shows or rides. Who, but a youngster, can ever forget the thrill that came with looking at( the bodylcss lady. Only the head on a pedestal and the barker waving a cane around it to prove It was just the head. The old iron cage where Ihey put a giri inside and proceeded lo shove swords all through it, and I gasped with each one. Yes, and the tattooed lady, the bearded lady, the fat lady adver tised as "the beef trust," the two- headed calf, the rubber man . . , and on and on. Through the eyes of a young ster they look entirely ditfercnt than through the eyes of an adult. Something happens with the passing years, I guess. When I visit a carnival now 1 still feel the attraction of the side shows, but somehow they are a bit "old hat." Maybe my father felt the same way when he took me to the carnival. It Is with a sense of sadness that I noticed this strange meta morphosis which comes with the passing years. It might be belter if all the world could view the problems of the world and the progress of the world through the eyes of young piers. We might not take ourscKcs so senouslv. ler in New York. According to the center, dogs of today are just as capable of putting up a good fight when the occasion demands as the dogs of 50 years ago. Op portunities for scrapping have been curtailed sharply over the years, Today's dogs are more closely supervised. They spend most of their time in their own yards, house or car. Licensing of dogs brought collars into universal use, providing a handy means of at taching a leash. Leash laws are in effect in a good many cities. The center pointed out that dogs are better fed than their fore bearers, so food is seldom a mo tive for combat. Garbage cans are not the subject of contention they once were because of kitchen disposal units and regular gar bage pick-up. Maybe we're raising belter dogs these days. It's a certainty that the number of local "good" dogs entered in the Dog Fancier's an nual all breed show, the Saturday before Labor Day, increases every year. The all-day show is a good place to view a mighty nice look ing bunch of pedigreed dogs. There will be about 400 entries this year representing nearly 40 breeds. If you are thinking about a new dog, that's a good place to look over the field. to stay at a hotel if he works late. He has two cars, a small for eign sports car for the country, a long black limousine for the city These tests measure well the rating of anyone in the average office aristocracy except the chair man of the board himself. He busts all the rules. He wears dollar neckties, drives a 10-year- old cheap automobile because that was the kind he liked when he was younger. He eats an apple for lunch, then takes a nap on com pany time. But he gets into the office at 8:30 a. m. because he gets an oldtime kick out of being the first one to arrive at work. That's the big goal today: to be come such a big shot you can act like a little shot again, and enjoy the simple things of life in your own way. By FLORENCE JENKINS Every town has its canine first citizen. Dean in his own hold in Klam ath Falls is Jupiter, a Rover who has made his home with .Mr. and Mrs. Brady Narey lor more than a dozen years. The dignified old boy has be come well known lo a large part of townspeople. Those who do nol have a speaking acquaintance with Jupe frequently see him riding . in the Iront seat of his master s automobile. Several grocers and butchers in town have lieen saving special lid bits for him for years because h has a special fondness (or go ing visiting. Ho is consciously con descending, however, and he asks no favors. Noting his occasional tours brings to mind a rather startling fact: One almost never sees a dog fight In the street any more.

It isn't as simple as it used to be in ''Diamond Jim" Brady's day. Anybody could tell at a glance Brady was important. He'd have diamond stud in his shirt the size of an ox's eyeball. And on his right arm he usually was wearing Lillian Russell, one of the famous theatrical figures of his day. But success today isn't so osten tatious. You have to look for the prestige symbols. What are they? A survey of. of fice peasants here revealed that, in their opinion, a man has truly arrived it He goes Id lunch at 1 p. m. in stead of noon. He is on an unlimited expense account. ne comes to worK at 9:30 in stead of 9 a. m., and leaves at either 4:30 or 6:30 depending on his whim. He never has any cash in his pocket, and if he wants a news paper off the corner stand, who ever he's walking with has to pay lor it. He carries an attache case. (The slimmer the case the more important he Is.) He has at least two personal secretaries. (An executive who has lo share his secretary with another executive is a hopeless failure in the modern otlice hier archy.) His office has a closed door. It has wall-lo-wall carpeting and the paintings on the wall are originals. Somewhere in it is at least one live green plant, which he and one of his secretaries the pret tier one playfully water to gether. He has a wife who is a com mittee chairman of a socially ac ceptable charity, and gets her pic ture in the paper once a year but no oftener. He heads the annual drive of another socially acceptable char ity, and gets his picture in the paper for a good cause once a year but no oftener. He plays golf and bridge, but believes pinochle is the name of a famous children's book. He has a big home in the outer suburbs, and a small apartment in the city so he won't have Itackslairs By DAYTON MOORE United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) Back stairs at the White House: Guests of President and Mrs. Eisenhower eat from "Democratic" china at official dinners and luncheons at the White House. The cups, platters and plates were added to the White House collection by former President Tru man and the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. So far, the Eisenhowers have added only one piece to the col lectiona Castleton service plate of raised medallion pattern in pure coin gold. Mrs. Eisenhower has taken a personal hand in rearranging the china display in a special room on the ground floor. Last year, at Mrs. Mamie Ei senhower's direction, the room was rearranged with several ad ditions and reclassifications. Representative pieces of china. crystal and silver dating back to George Washington are arranged against a lighted, dark blue back ground in chronological order. They are documented historically, with some former errors corrected on the basis of bills of sales found in recent years. ' George Washington's administra tion is represented by a gold and while gravy boat of the state dinner service. The first president ordered it from France. There also is a sugar bowl, cup, saucer and tea pot cover from the Martha Washington state china." It has a chain link bor der with the names of the Un ion's first 15 states. The most impressive piece is the Dolly Madison punch bowl of elaborately decorated French por celain about 30 inches high. A White House listing says It is "be lieved to be the oldest piece of china having remained in contin uous executive possession since its purchase. Five presidents Andrew John son, William Howard Talt, War ren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover are not rep resented in the china collection. They didn't buy any state china during their terms in office. But to round out the collection efforts are being made to' get family pieces they used while in the White House. Lincoln's administration is rep resented by pieces from one fam ily and two slate services. In cluded are pieces used by the Civil War president at his sum mer White House at the U.S Soldiers' Home. and gold, each-piece bears the per sonal seal of the President. The set also was used by Harding, Coolidge and Hoover. A recent addition to the china room display is a set of first lady plates represented by the Royal Berlin factory as a tribute to Mrs. Eisenhower. They are dec orated with the portraits of 25 first ladies between 1789 and 1921, framed by a wide gold border Mrs. Benjamin Harrison and Franklin D. Roosevelt designed White House china. Mrs. Harri son's has a golden cornstalk and flower edge design. Roosevelt's in corporates the three feathers and roses of his family crest. They'll Do It Every Time -. By Jimmy Mood Poisoning By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Streptococci are the most com mon and dangerous cause of blood poisoning. In this form of septi cemia, the symptoms usually de velop extremely suddenly, often with a feeling of great chilliness, The body temperature rises to a high level and the pulse rate is rapid. In the past, a high proportion of those who became infected died often within one to three days Now both antibiotics and sulfa drugs have proved lifesaving for most who are stricken down with septicemia due to streptococci. Another variety of blood poison ing, which until recently killed nearly everyone who got It, is caused by a different germ the staphylococcus. oiapnyiococci are present on even more things than the strep tococci, wnen these germs are found in the blood stream prompt action is needed. Today there is a great deal of concern about blood infections and other infections with staphylococci These germs are hard to elimi nate once they have entered an environment like a hospital. Furthermore, there are differ ent strains of these germs, some of which respond to treatment with antibiotics and some of which do not. Thus, ever new problems keep arising to plague us. Almost any germ can cause septicemia, or blood poisoning, but those mentioned are probably Ihe most common. Several of the others also yield either to the sulfa drugs or to antibiotics. Just because the chances of re covery are now so much better for a person struck down by blood poisoning, there is no excuse for carelessness. Accidents which break the skin and put the blood stream in contact with germs should receive proper treatment. This may help to prevent the blood stream infection.
