the famous three Ringling brothers
of circus fame, has purchased the
American Circus Corp, and all of its

Sparks Circus.
The five world famous circuses in-
volved in the deal are: The Sparks
Circus, the Sells-Floto Circus, the
John Robison Shows, the Al G.
Barnes Wild Animal Shows.
The consideration involved has
not been learned, but it was said
to have run into many millions.
' Ringling already owns the Ring-
ling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey
Circus and Forepaugh Sells Circus,
and the deal gave him control of
the eight largest tent shows in the
world.

CHICAGO HAS SCHOOL
FOR TAX COLLECTORS
To promote painless extractions of
taxes from citizens’ pockets, a school
for deputies has been inaugurated in
Chicago.
The collectors are required to go
to school for two hours every even-
ing from now until they have master-
ed the intricacies of tax levies made
upon real estate firms, clubs and
corporations. When they can pass
the exams, they will be considered
graduates.
“We want our deputies to know
what they are talking about when
they ‘interview citizens on tax mis-
understandings,” an official explain-
ed. “We also want to be sure the
taxpayer gets a square deal. If our
field deputies understand their busi-
press they can render more efficient
and courteous service.”
— Fall is here and it will be no time
until snowflakes are flying.

LINDBERGH FLYING OVER
HISTORIC OCEAN ISLES.
When Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
was to be off from San Juan, Porto
Rico, on Sept. 22, for Paramaribo,
Dutch Guiana, to open a new air
mail service line, his flight was to be
guided by a long chain of small is-
lands, mere dots in a wide ocean, ov-
er which France and England fought
bitterly for more than a decade, of-
ficials of the National Geographic
Society disclose.
Much of the terrain which will
pass swiftly under the Flying Colonel
as he hops from isle to isle is tropi-
cal jungle, peopled by a strange race
whose forebears were African slaves,
brought over during the early days
of Colonial development.
These islands, now ruled by Great
Britain and used as coaling stations,
are wild and rugged. The terrain
alternates with sharp peaks and deep
valleys, over all of which is spread
a mantle of intense green. All were
peopled by warlike Carib Indians
when Columbus and other Spanish
navigators discovered them. But
during the next few centuries the
people were killed off or transported
by British settlers.
This long chain, which will form
a series of stepping stones for the
colonel all the way from Porto Rico
to the northwestern coast of South
America, will furnish adequate land-
ing places should he be forced down.
Sprinkled with white colonies and
dotted with a few modern cities sup-
plies and shelter will be available
should he need them.
The Lesser Antilles, as these is-
lands are called to distinguish them
from the Greater Antilles, including
the larger islands of the West In-
dies, also are known as the Wind-
ward Islands. The chain includes
Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent,
and Grenada, and countless smaller
groups.
A bloody battleground for Euro-
pean imperialists, they changed
hands again and again as first one
and then another of the West Indian
fleets of continental naval powers
were successful.
St. Lucia, noted for its excellent
harbor, Port Castries, Geographic
Society officials recounted was cov-
eted by France as a naval base. with
which she hoped to rival the British
stronghold of Gibraltar. But the
treaty of 1914, gave St. Lucia to
Great Britain and now only islets re-
main of the once important French
Antilles.
Most if not all the territory of
these islands and the northern coast
of South America over which Lind-
bergh will fly is well known. How-
ever, the colonel is understood to be
contemplating a trip further south
to Rio de Janeiro, which will take
him over the unknown expanse of the

LACK OF RAIN WAS BOON IN
BUILDING CONCRETE ROADS
- Dry weather which caused anxiety
to farmers made August a record
month in highway construction mile-
age, with a total of 105.99 miles laid
by contract, said chief engineer Sam-
uel Eckels, of the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Highways. Total mileage
for the year went over 300 miles dur-
ing the last two days of the month.
“Contractors welcomed the pro-
longed period of fair weather until
many of them, depending on streams
for their water supply, noted that
lack of rain was slowly diminishing
the streams. Only a few found the
water problem serious however. and
were compelled to haul water to the
‘operation. The longest haul reported
was three miles, in Lancaster coun-
ty,” Eckels said.
Proper and adequate water supply,
Engineer Eckels declared, is one of
the vital factors of road building.
‘Unfortunately, contractors can’t use
water at random from any stream
which happens to be in the vicinity
of the job. Samples must be submit-
ted to the chemist who analyzes for
various minerals, chief among them
sulphur, which are harmful to con-
crete. Some of these minerals would
cause a concrete highway to deterio-
rate and crack toruinina short per-
iod of time.
Mine water in particular, but any
water found in the coal regions is
continually under suspicion, because
of its high sulphur content. Pecul-
iarly, many fresh water streams are
found in these regions which pass the
chemist’s close scrutiny and these
must be used by the contractor. In-
spectors for the Department, who
‘supervise each contract job, some-
times are suspicious after a stream
has been approved and used for sev-
eral days that surface water follow-
ing a heavy rain is polluting the
streams. More tests are made. Chem-
ical plants sometimes drain waste
water loaded with chemicals into an
otherwise pure stream making the
water unfit for concrete work.
“Contractors have more to do
than merely grab a hand full of blue
prints and start to pour concrete,”
Eckels - asserted, “Pennsylvania De-

LICENSES SOON
County treasurers in the State will
have 1929 hunting licenses to issue
within a week, according to informa-
tion from Harrisburg. The first hunt-
ing of the season is already on, the
Season for rails opening September
Eighty-four thousand acres of
hunting land will be added to the re-
serves soon, if contracts already
made are carried through. The game
commission now controls for the
State 143,362 acres. Primary game
preserves occupy 26,455 acres. The
boundary lines of State game pre-
serves run almost 400 miles.
Prosecutions for breaking the game
laws totaled 176 during August. A
fair number of out of season deer
hunters were caught. Claims for
bounty totaled $1887, representing 1,-
170 demands. Weasels furnished 1,-
160 claims, almost all
taxidermists and sporting goods
stores to make the public familiar
with the goshawk, for which there
will be a bounty of $5, November 1
to May 1.
The game commission supports a
free educational service, which they
have asked clubs and schools to take
advantage of. The commission has
available a corps of lecturers and 16
reels of motion pictures. Audiences
