YOUNG BUFFALO SHOW
GOOD, ALTHOUGH BRIEF

Young Buffalo's and Colonel Cum
mings's Wild West show, which APP
peared here yesterday, had everything
that makes a show of the West worth
while. The performance, however. was
the shortest ever given by a wild West
concern. The actual time to give the
entertainment was one hour and eight
minutes. The visitors were somewhat
disappointed and had expected more.
There were Indians, cowboys, lassoing,
shooting and a realistic hold-up.
The performances given In the after
noon and evening were enjoyed by thou
sands of men, women and children. The
aim of the show people is to particularly
please the youngsters, and many games
of the West were given for their benefit.
These were some excellent exhibitions of
difficult feats. One In, particular, the
Ticking Of ashes from a cigarette held In
the mouth Of a young woman.
The police had a little difficulty at first
with several groups OF persistent gam
biers. Roundsman Van Orden and five
pafrolm"' got busy, and soon chased
them awas.
Then t..ere was, as usual, the small
boy that follows the circus. Three had
strayed from their homes in Trenton and
are today at the First precinct police sta
ton awaiting the arrival of their par
ents. They gave their names as Joseph
Grianzo, 436 Whitaker avenue; Charles
Meiler, 325 Elmer street, and Franz
Mingcr, 37 Elmer street, Trenton. Each
is Is years old.

For the first time In America said DR..
Andrews, eight states have recently en-
acted laws requiring physicians to report
cases of occupational disease, such as

be established here. and Industrial
hygiene exhibits, similar to the ira vel.ng

Medical School, said: Il know of no
one factor that affects the earning Gu

extent as. .eyestrain. And know of no
