This. Of course. is praiseworthy

dress with the same care and thorough
ness in an ordinary sleeping car as at

RINGING SHOW
is Up TO DATE
Three Rings and Two Stages
Keep Even a Cross-Eyed
Man Busy Seeing 1t All
FLAME OF OTHER DAYS
Old-Time Fan Looks for the
Lady in Ballet Costume
Whom He Cut Wood to See

Ringing Brothers circus is up-to-
date in everything and three laps
ahead in some things. There are brand
new clown gags, as good vaudeville
turns as ever made the Orpheum crazy
on Sunday night and animals that
could do anything but talk Russian.
Never was so much given away for
four bits. No one but a cross-eyed man
could see it all and he would have to
move his optics to ragtime music to
take it in. There were three rings and
two stages. While one was watching
the seals juggle firebrands he missed
the white horse that did a cake walk.
While he gave all his attention to the
pink silk tights whirling in midair he
missed the trained elephant with the
gold filings in his tusks, who turned
sommersaults.
In nattiness and neatness the Ring
ling Brothers show is almost too much
up to the times. The c1rcuses of the
days when you and / were young"
are doomed. One can see it in the
FlOradora costumes of these modern
queens of the ring" in the new
stunts of the clowns and in the Vau-
deville aspect of the bill.
The old circus was as stereotyped as
the minstrel show. Now come female
ringrnasters in ballroom cloaks, tricks
that never were heard of in the old
days when one ring, some lemonade
and a bag of peanuts with La Clar-
ise" breaking hoops in the one ring,
made a circus.
The old timer was there. He didn't
bring Willie for an excuse either. He
was honest and simply said he wanted
to smell the saw dust and be young
again.
II remember when / wanted to run
away and follow a circus. 1t wasn't
much of circus. but 1t was more than
the Arabian Nights to me. 1 miss
something here"
The old fellow looked wistfulIy but
sadly at the girls in Floradora picture
hats, the girls in knee breeches and
girls in every sort of modern stage
dress. Suddenly there burst into one
of the rings a white horse, bearing a
girl in the ballet costume Of other days.
1t was a pink gauzy thing, that stood
out stiffly away from the damsePs
knees. On her forehead was a glitter
ing star of up-to-date diamonds.
The circus fan of days gone by
chuckled and gaped like visitor from
the egg raising district That's her
That's the real circus lady. Without
her it's no circus. 1 saw her when 1
was kid and had to split wood to get
to the show. BY Jove, maybe that's
the same onei" So, even the old timer
was happy.
In the morning Ringling's Theater
paraded in full force. The animals
went two by two, just as they walked
out of the ark up on Mount Ararat.
There were nearly as many of them,
too.
Most side shows have been what the
wise youth would call "de bunk" but
the giant and the Singhalese pigmy,
and all the impossibilities promised by
Ringling's spielers are there

PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
ANNOUNCES ITS PURPOSES
Bulletin Is Issued by Organization
Relating to Means TO Advertise
Californta'S Many Resources.

The State Publicity Committee,
which was formed as the result of a
conference at Sacramento of execu-
tions of California, has issued it's
first bulletin. in which the history of
the formation of the committee is re-
viewed. The purpose of the commit
tee is declared to be to centralize pub
licity work for the entire State and to
unity that work and effectively ad-
vertise California; also to bring to va
rious sections the manufactures and
industries that they need. A part of
the bulletin referring to the plan OF
work is as follows:

IL TO conduct an active campaign looking to
the bringing Of desirable settlers and needed
industries and manufactures to the State.
Offices will be established by the State Pub
licity Committee in Chicago and New York.
where literature all sections of California

ganizations of the state will have an efficient
medium for the distribution of literature. These
offices will be in charge of competent persons
who will. in addition to the distribution OF
literature on all parts of California make. an
especial endeavor to exploit California products
and broaden the market for same. and to
courage desirable manufactures upon the Pa

many parts Of the world cannot fail to know
that he can get reliable Information on Cali
fornia by writing for 1t. The inquiries from
people interested in California that are de-
rived from such advertising will be far greater
than the aggregate OF inquiries that are now
derived from advertising all sections indi-
of ha a. will mt
only receive more settlers manufactures and
q greater demand for their goods, but will bs
henefited by the increase of population and
