fEATS OF STRENuOSiIY
Circus Athletes Rival the Strength and
Daring of the OIympians,

The greatest era in Roman history
was the period when atheletic Sports
were most in vogue and when the peo-
pie not only enjoyed and applauded
feats of strength skill and daring. but
also We'd with one another in develop
ing their own muscles and physique.
The Roman athletes were the marvel
of the world. They learned their clev.
erness from the Greeks, and then read.
lily outdistanced their teachers. The
end of the Roman empire followed the
eneryating effects of Incidence and the
loss of physical supremacy among the
Roman people.
In recent years there has been dis
tinct revival of the strenuous life-anl
particularly that kind of strenuous life
that has to do with physical culture
and sports and pastimes that bring
cultivated muscle and intelligently d.
veloped strength into play. The clever
boxer, the collegiate high-jumper who
finds that physical excellence is not
| detrimental to intellectual growth. the
maker of running and swimming re-
cords, and the star football player, all
have their place in the makeup IF
modern society.
As an exponent of physical culture
the up-to-date circus has made a place
for itself that is decidedly unique.
Nowhere else can the highest class of
muscular development combined with
physical beauty, skill and daring be
found in such generous multiplicity. Il
is probable that Rome and Athens, i'll
their palmiest days, could not boas;
athletes capable of discounting the

action brought by Mrs. Mamie Fetterer
against her divorced husband, Commu-

their G-yearold son. Leo. Al the time
the divorce was granted the court
gave the custody of the child to the
father, but in so doing, inserted a stir
ulaton in the decree prohibiting the
father from allowing the child III his
saloon. Mrs Fetterer i'll her petition
alleged the father had violated this
condition. Judge BOllinger awarded
the possession of the child to the moth

that if she showed herself the proper
person to care for it, that she cou'l
keep it longer.
