COURT RULES BOARD'S

United .States llailread Laber Heard de

enforced in the courts, according te a
ilcslslen of the Supreme Court of Mis
Klisippl received hy the lnber beard
today.
The, Mississippi Court's decision is I
opposed te the popular conception that '
the beard's dui-ilens can be enfnreed I
e.iiy by public opinion and te a recent
owsien by Federal Judge Page, of
t lilrase, who ruled that, unlesNthepar- '

1 :i no power te rule en n case excent '
wn-n commerce was likely te be bin-

b.janl acted only in nn advisory ca
polity In ma'dng decisions.
The circus is cemln' the, circus !f
cemln' and childish hearts are filled
with .glee. Is there, anyone, no matter
hew old or grouchy. who cannot re
member with what joy he first viewed
the vivid, glaring pesters which sprang
up all ever the town?
After weeks of cajer. anticipation,. and
what (teemed years of waiting, the big
show Anally came, with a blare of
trumpets and the noise of the funny old
calliope.
Seme of the happiness which la al
ways brought te the youngsters of
the town Is going te be carried te the
Children's Homeopathic Hospital at
Franklin and Thompson streets. The
Evxrike Public Lkdeeh has ar
ranged te have the Sells-Flete Circus
give n free performance nt the hos
pital for these who nrc crippled and
HI, and unable te get from the hospital
even te view the parade.
Sitting upright in his tiny bed today
wa( a red-haired' freckle-faced boy who
wiggled his tees under the covers Win
shyly lisped that his name was Lee
Henry.
But when he learned he was te hear
stories of wondrous stunts, he ventured
te move about the bed and turn a
pair of mischievous blue, eyes en the
visitor who told of the coming event.
He thinks that he is a very big man.
in that once he saw a real circus
parade, lint the thought of seeing
the funny clowns face te face makes
him feel as though he wants te be one
of these very clowns.
Furthermore, he uas quite decided
te have an elephant all or his own,
te sit en his bed and de tricks, when
It pleases the Binall master te put him
through them. It may even be a pink
elephant. Who knows?
Farther down the room,- still, smaller,
In his snowy white bed, was aiwrteas
faced young man, who declared hi
name te bePeter. He mlghtfhave anJ
ether name, but was blissfully ujcon ujcen ujcon
scleus of the fact, except, that his
father' name Is Geerge. Se , we 11 have
te call him Peter Geerge, which, is qulte
a name for hl four or flye years.
Last year "Geerge" held 'Peter in
his arms, and as the barc-back rldln
ladles and the renrln' Hens-paced In the
cages drawn by prancing- horse he
clapped his small hand with, glee and
wished wistfully that he might fellow
after them te sec all that wa te be
Life held nothing sweeter for him
when he was told that within less tffan
a week all. the mysteries would be re
vealed right' before .his wondering eyes.
The little glrW were rqunlly In
terested' in the premised event.. Katie
Welntrnub. curled up in the corner. of
her crib, showed dimples In soft little
ni,..i u oho' llvhtlr clutched her
chubby little tees with her tiny baby
fingers. Ah she shook , her . head a
wealth of black curls showered about
her shoulders, and se overwhelmed was
she with the news that words quite
failed her.
The ' performance will be given
Wednesday morning in the courtyard
of the hospital. Wrapped snugly in
blankets, some of the youngsters will
be placed outside in chairs,, ethers will
be wheeled clese te the windows, noses
flattened against the window panes,
that nothing will be missed. Dispen
sary patients will be nllewcd te come,
tee. The atrasphcre is alive with 'sus
pense ; it's almost as much fun for them
as Christmas.
