There is new kind of circus girl. just
as there is a new chorus girl. The latest
thing in chorus girl is slight ana
piquant, and in marked physical con-
trast to the opulent. stalwart beauty
who was formerly considered the only
type adapted TO stage display
The new kind of circus girl is strik-
ing principally on account of her in
creased comeliness. The hard-faced,
dyed-haired rider with her set smile
and CHASTITY little coquetries is a thing
of the past.
The women nowadays are fresher,
prettier ard nearly always better dress
ed than they ever were in the past.
Comeliness seems to be regarded now as
important as their athletic skill
One very mediocre acrobat was a wo-
man called The Beautiful Geraldine"
who was successful ten years ago from
one end OF Europe TO the other, not be
cause she was skillful in her work, but
on account OF her supposedly great
beauty. Yet, today she would not seem
so much above the average of looks
at the Madison Square Garden.
Their dressing is also more tasteful
in it's colors, and the women who tajs
year ride in habits are in every Way
smarter looking than they were in the
past. But It is her looks that differen-
tiate the present-day circus girl from
her predecessors. She is rapidly be

The Importation of iron and steel,
which has characterized the past year,
shows no signs of abatement The val
lie of iron and steel imports in the
month of March. as shown by the fig
ures of the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tistics, amounted TO over 100000,
against about 1900, 900 in March of last
year; and for the nine months ending
with March amounted to over s3S, 000,
000 against less than $19,000,o00 in the
corresponding months OF last year.
Curiously, all Of the most important
articles or classes of articles so i'm

States is now by far the largest pig

minutes there was debate that was
very nearly fierce and angry over the

show the largest increase are pig iron,
steel rails and ingots, blooms, and bill
lets of steel. Pig iron shows an in
crease from 1928 tons in nine months
of last year to 1921 tons in the same
months of this year, or nearly ten times
as much this year as last. despite the
fact that production is still iucreas-
ing. IN ingots, blooms, bars, etc. the
increase is still more rapid. the total
importation Of the nine months of last
year being 1870, 2O9 pounds. and in the
nine months of this year 657 ,597 ,319
pounds.
In steel rails, of which the United
States has in the past not only supplied
her own wants but exported largely,
the percentage Of increase is still larger,
the imports of the nine months of last
year having been but 1882 tons, while
those of this year, for the same months,
were 92,SS9 tons, or nearly thirty times
as much. The value of the pig iron
imported in the first nine months of this
fiscal year Is 1855. 900, against ST.

Disapproyed by Pope Leo.

1t is no secret that both Leo XIII, his
secretary of state and, indeed, the en-
tire Roman Curia disapprove and de-
plore this attitude of the French epis-
copacy and clergy with regard TO their
government. In fact, the Pontin and
Cardinal Rampolla, both informed ex-
Premier Meline during his recent stay
in Rome that the Gallican bishops and
priests were acting in defiance of the
explicit instructions OF the Holy See,
and it was far from the wishes of the
Vatican to provoke a quarrel or rup-
ture with the French government over
the execution of the laws dealing with
the religious orders. Ex-Premier Me-
line is no friend OF the Combes admin
istration. In fact, he is one of its most
relentless opponents in the National
Legislature. But he did not hesitate to
inform both the Pope and the Cardinal
that the attitude of the clergy in France
toward the government was such as
must inevitably result in the repeal of
the concordat. and it was IN response to
his remarks that the Pope and his prin-
cipal adviser made the declarations
which 1 have given above
To put the matter plainly, the French
clergy. who for some years past have
shown strong disposition to accept no
dictation from Rome with regard to their
dealings with the government, have now
got altogether beyond the control of the
Curia, and any endeavor on the part of
the Vatican to enforce the papal orders
by means OF vigorous measures and stern
ecclesiastical discipline would ineyita-
bly, result in that Gallican schism which
has been predicted by some of the most
thoughtful French statesmen and for
eign observers of contemporary affairs
in France. 1t is probable that the Pom
tiff may be called upon at a very early
date to pronounce publicly his approval
or disapproval of the attitude of the
French clergy, and his views with re-
gard to the action OF the French gov
eminent. 1t is generally assumed that
in such an event sooner than provoke
anything in the nature of schism, he
will assume the defense of the French
clergy and OF the religious orders, and
in that case, of course, the doom of the
concordat is inevitable.
