TOO BIG TO PARADE.
Darnum Bailey Continue successful
Experiment of Eliminating
street Parade.

A circus that is "too big to give a street
parade" Is a novelty IN these days
OF colossal enterprises and mammoth
amusement institutions. But that Is the
announcement of the Barnum & Bailey
circus which exhibits in THIS city next
Friday.
In speaking of tho reasons for this
Innovation, a representative of tho hig
show. said recently: The Rarnum ~ lial-
ley circus has become So largo that II
parade is no longer possible or oven
deslra bic If we could be absolutely sure
of getting into town by daYh"eak the
parade would still he feasible, hut with
our five long trains of cars, this is too
much to expect Of the railroad companies
in many instances Il IS $ or O'Clock
before It Is unloadcd and the paraphcr-
MALTA transferred for the afternoon per
Torrance. To take several hundred mon
away from the show grounds at the most
critical time in the morning. in order
to give parade, would mean delay in
opening. and consequent discomfort to
tho public. To compel thousands of pco-
. pie to stand out in front Of the entrance,
In the hot sun or rain, because the Civ
: ing of the parade, has delayed the opcn-
ing for an hour or more Is post ively cruel:
but there is frequently no hclp for itwheu
parades are given by eliminating the
parade the public is also saved a long
and often uncomfortable wait on the
streets pending the always moro or less
! delayed procession, which at bcst has
nothing new to offer, 10 say nothing of
the Interference with public traffic and
the business Of the City's merchants
Many municipal governments have rec
Ca. h,r, off har rlff t1t
to give licenses for parades, or by making
tho tax so high as to be proh'bitive,
Street parades We're all right when cir
cuses We're small, and were necessary
from an advertising standpoint Tho
pnrnum 6, Bailey show Is too well-known
! to need advertising or this character
and instead of wasting time and energy
on a conventional street display, every
effort is concentrated upon the pcrfor-
nance"
The experiment OF cutting out the par
/ sde was tried in this country for the first
| time last season. and the circus man
was asked what effect the innovation had
upon the business of the big show
IF anything It helped the patronage,
! was the reply. "Thc necessity for clini-
| mating the parade because of the mag
nitude of the show was generally recoe-
| nized. and the public was anxious to see
show that was actually too big To
give n procession. Before the advent of
the show In some of the Western cities
there were some unfavorable comments
regarding the no parade feature even
IN the press, but after the public and
newspaper men saw the performance,

Black Hair Strongest.

Black hair IS stronger than golden
trcsses ana will sustain almost double
the weight. Recently German scien-
list has been experimenting and has
found that it is possible % suspend Il
weight of four ounces by 4 single hair,
provided the hnir be black. Blond hair
will give way Mt varying weights, de-
pendent upon the exact tint. 4 yellow
hair will scarce support two ounces,
brown will hold up three without
breaking. while n very dark brown will
sustain an additional half ounce.
The greater vitality of the black hair
Is declared to be the reason for the pre-
pondcrance of blond bald heads, and,
according to this cXperimenter. " per
son with jet black hair will still enjoy
a full growth while the blond will have
been bald for seven and half years.
