When the Barnum and Bailey circus
comes to town, Monday, you will hear
again the cry of the side-show man—
"This way ladies and gemmun. You've
only seen one-half of the show—only
one-half the Great Barnum and
Bailey's three-ring, ding-a-ling,
blingety-bling circus. Step out of ( the
sawdust, sonny, and be careful you
don't fall into that old gentleman's
whiskers Is that so? Well, if you
ever get lost in that hirsute forest
it'll take a general alarm and all the
police force to lind you."
That's some of it; the call of the
herald at the door of the side-show
tent, bidding you welcome to glimpse
the mysteries of the human race.
Freaks, the publicity man calls them.
Freaks, the language of the showman.
But in the language of the freaks
they are human prodigies.
Back to the days when you were a
child you'll go, or your sons and daugh
ters will he telling their sons and
daughters of the days when you. their
grandfathers and grandmothers, used
to fool the folks and slip down to
canvas-covered sawdust for the time
or your young lives.
Alstair McWilkie's whispers have
grown so that he has to carry them
around like a lady's skirt. At night
they dust them up. He steps on them
when he walks. Then there's Zip,
the "What 1s It?" The circus wouldn't
be complete without "What Is It?" for
he's been with it since the days of
Petey Barnum. He's still as big as
the day he was born, for age has not
shrunk him.
Our old friend, big Jim Tarver, who
has taken on a few inches to his eight
feet, three inches of stature, is again
with th<vcircus. And alongside of Jim
will be his fairy princess, the Princess
Wee Wee, drawn up to the full dignity
of her eight inches of height. My!
When she gets mad and stamps her
foot. Eddie Masher, the dude human
skeleton, is with the outfit, but may
nave .to go into training before being
permitted to appear here. His care
less trainer allowed him to take on a
full meal last week and the dude gain
ed two ounces.
You remember Tom Auger, the
giant? Sure you do—when you were
a boy. He's an actor when he isn't
with the circus. He's so strons; that
lie handles the baby elephant for its
mother when mother isn't feeling well
herself. Auger has a giant appetite.
An ordinary meal for him always in
cludes two or three steaks, two or
three dozen oysters. two or three
chickens and a lot of entrees.
Mile. Clifford, the sword-swallower,
is in the best of form. She has no
tonsil it is or sore throat to interfere
with her act.
The Queen of Snakes , has new
snakes to charm this year. All her
snakes died with eye trouble. The
doctors told the lady that they were
hypnotized'by the bright orange wig
she used to wear.
There's a lot more of the freaks—
human prodigies—but you're going to
the circus anyhow and you'll see them.
ARMY WAR BILL
GOES TO WILSON
[Continued From First Page]
Provisions of the Bill
For Conscription in U. S.
The army bill, backed by the
Administration, was introduced
in the Senate April 19, was pass
ed April 28—in the Senate by a
vote of 81 to 8 and in the House,
307 to 24—and since has been
tied up in conference, returned
there twipe by the House to in
clude the Roosevelt volunteer
provision and further pay in
creases for enlisted men. Its
chief provisions are:
Raising of armed forces by
the selective draft system,
Imposed upon all -males be
tween 21 and 30 years, in
clusive, subject to registra
tion and certain exemptions.
Increasing the regular
army to maximum war
strength.
Drafting Into the Federal
service of National Guard
units.
Raising of an initial force
by conscription of 500,000
men, with addition of 500,-
000 if deemed necessary.
Raising, if the President
sees fit, of four divisions of
volunteer infantry. (The
Roosevelt amendment.)
Increasing the pay of all
enlisted men as follows:
sls additional monthly for
those now receiving less than
s2l, comprising the bulk of
the army, graduated down
ward to $6 additional month
ly for those receiving $4 5 or
more.
Prohibiting sale of liquor
at or near army training
camps and otherwise pro
tecting morals of the sol
diers.
Secretary Baker has an
nounced that it is not ex
pected to call out the first
500,000 men before Septem
ber 1, because of "the deplet
ed state of our supplies,"
and that there will therefore
be no "appreciable interfer
ence with labor supply of the
country until that date."
it is not expected to call out the
first 500,000 men before September
1, because of "the depleted state of
our supplies" and that there will
therefore be no "appreciable inter
ference with the labor supply of the
country until that date."
Machinery to register and draft
the first 500,000 men already has
been set up by the War Department.
Immediately after the President
signs the bill he will by proclama
tion designate the day for registra
tion of the ten million or more men
of the prescribed age. Registration
books will be in the hands of state
and local authorities who are to
co-operate in the work, and Briga
dier General Crowder. the provost
marsnal general, expecth to have
his complete lists In Washington
within five days after registering be
gins.
Then will come the task of select
ins? the first half million, exempting
the physically unfit, those with de
pendants and men who are needed
on the farm and in industries. The
process of selection probably will be
completed long before the men are
wanted.
