1852 six weeks before the attack on Har-

AMERICAN NURSES
BETTER TRAINED

Paris, October 5.-Dr. w. L. Baum
of Chicago, who has concluded an Of
fetal inspection of European hospitals
in connection with the proposed estao-
lishment of a new hospital in Chicago
containing $500 beds, took occasion to-
day to compare the hospitals in Eu-
rope with those in the United States.
He said that European benefits through
the services of the ablest physicians
in hospital clinics but that the Unit
ed States leads in individual attention
to patients. That American nurses are
more intelligent and better trained than
those abroad. He praised the German
and Austrian hospitals, but asserted
that the Partisan hospitals were hope
lessiy behind the age and over
crowded. ELalAs

RINGING CIRCUS
To Be HERE TODAY
Big Parade Will Start at 10
O'Clock
MORE NOVEL THAN EVER
eruoon and Nieht-Four Special
Trains Arrive During
the Night

| Ringing Bros big circus will be in Bir-
mingham today for two performances.
The parade, one of the biggest features
of this great circus, will start from the
show grounds in Smith park at 10 o'clock
and will pass along some of the prin-
cipal downtown streets. 1t will come into
the city from the old fair grounds along
| Fifth avenue to Nineteenth street; thence
along Nineteenth street to First ave-
| nue.; along First avenue to Twenty-third
street; on Twenty third street to Third
avenue; along Third avenue TO Eigh-
teenth street to Eighth avenue; thence
out Eighth avenue to the show grounds.
The four special trains consisting OF
IS cars arrived during the night and be-
gan at once the big task of unloading
and getting ready for the days perform
ance. Everything will be ready. 1t was
stated last night, to serve breakfast this
morning to nearly 1000 people.
1t is expected that thousands will be
down town to view the parade, in which
five bands of music will participate
There will be in the parade over 1000
people, 600 horses, a score of open cages,
floats. tableaux vans, a team of 20 ponies,
team of 20 camels driven like horses. a
herd of elephants, buglers, banner-bear-
ers and a team of zebras. 1t promises to
be by far the greatest circus parade
ever seen in Birmingham.
The afternoon performance will begin
at o'clock and the evening perform
ance at o'clock, the doors opening on
each occasion an hour earlier. A band
concert will be given before each per-
Torrance.
Perfect organization and military dis
cipline make the task of handling a big
show like the Ringing Bros compare
lively eaey. Every man has has own
work to do, and he does it at the proper
time. BY the time the animal cages ar
rive at the lot the manergie tents are up,
and in the cookhouse breakfast is steam
ing on the huge circus stoves. The big
top" as the circus men call the main
tent, is the last to go up, but 1t is not
long after the canvas has been spread
to the breeze until all the seats are in
place and everything in readiness for the
street parade which will be given at 10
o'clock.
This season Ringing Bros circus is
bigger and better than ever The agents
of the show have ransacked Europe for
new acts. and it is said that they have
secured many novelties never before seen
in America.
The parade will be a complete attrac-
ton in itself, containing wonders and
novelties beautiful to behold. All the
equipment of the show is new, the cos
tunes are bright, and the stock is in fine
condition.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, October 5.-The con-

the impression that the convention means

prohibition and similar features out of
the constitution. The convention this

Latham was TO follow the course of
the Patapsco river TO Fort McCheney,
thence up the inner harbor to and
around the Sun building east to the city
limits a mile north, west to Druidhill
park, down Charles street to Baltimore
and then southwest to the aviation

There was to be a short detour for

invalid who, unable to leave his home,
offered $500 If Latham would fly with

TIE GAME PLAYED
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Plainview, Texas, Nov. S-A football
game between Clarendon college Of
Clarendon and Wayland Baptist college
of Plainview for the championship Of
the Panhandle resulted in a tied score,
6 to 6. The ball was in Clarendon's ter
ritory almost the entire game and their
goal was constantly in danger, two
drop kicks missing by less than foot.
1t was the first time this season their
goal had been crossed while on the
other hand it was the first time Way
land had ever played a game.
The local college supporters are wild
over their team and want a game with
Roswell Military or some strong East
Texas team. Black, formerly fullback
and McCas1and, formerly quarter on the
Baylor university team, were in the
game for Wayland.
