HOW A CIRCUS HELPS

Feed the Animals-Big Money
Left in Town.

That it does local merchants some
good to have a big circus like the, Rob
inson Famous Shows to come to town
is amply evidenced by the large con-
tracts made by loca! dealers. 1t takes
money to run great show, and 1t
takes a vast amount Of material tc
feed employees and animals.
Circus peole live well, and only the
best of everything is used ir the COM
missary department. That big show
leaves a liberal lump of money in 4
city at times is evident from the con-
tracts made here. To local coffee
firm the mammoth order of 1000
pounds of coffee was given. From an
equally well-known grocery house
$500 worth of groceries was contract
ed. Two hundred and fifty pairs of
shoes were added to the commissary
wagon, three carcasses of beef ca'Fle
from local hutche-, as well as 500
pounds of animal meat An order of
1926 alone went to one butcher Sew
eral hundred loaves of bread feed the

bakers. Seventy-fve quarts of milk
from the dairies. Eight tons of hay.
one hundred and fifteen bushels Of
oats, two tons of straw. and host
of other accessories we're purchased ir
the city. All told, nearly $4,000 will
be left here as a result of the advent

Eight hundred dollars per day in

connection with the show is Peter

Believed in Berlin That Of
fensiive Move Of Allies
VIII Crumble 4
WILL RENEW ATTACKS
Furious Onslaughts Upon Teutons'
Positions Expected to Continue at
Least One Week.

/ Berlin, Sept. 2S-The first rush o
the Anglo-French troops in the ives
has been met and stopped.
! The second rush, it is promised
/ will be dealt with even more effec'
lively There is every confidence that
what was planned as a great offensive
movement will crumble into mere
j trench warfare h"fnre the end of the
week.
In spite of the check administered
by the Germans in the fighting OF
Sunday night and carry yesterday, the
allies are expected to return to the
attack.
The opinion prevails in Berlin that
the onslaughts against the German
positions will last for at least week
unless a disaster like that experienc-
ed by the British at Neuve Chapelle
halts the operations.
Since their first days assaults.
neither the British nor the French
have dented the German lines.
The successes attained by the allies
i'm the first few hours Of fighting was
due solely to their long artillery pre-
paration, according to reports reach
ing Berlin. Several weeks shell fire
had partly demolished the advanced
German trenches anu it was consider
ed useless to defend them at heavy
cost of life. For that reason the Ger
mans fell back in the Champagne and
released their grip on narrow trench
front at Loos.
In the second days fighting, no
such easy task confronted the French
infantry. Their artillery had not blown
IN the second line trenches and from
behind these works the Germans mair
tanned themselves without yielding
ground.
In the north, the British were halt
ed before they reached the wire en-
tanglements. thrown bac'' by a ho;
fire and then pursued to their own
trenches.
It is officially declared that the en-
emy made no further gains on any
sector of the front from Arras north
TO the sea-
The general attack by Anglo-French
troops on the western front is already
considered failure by military crit
les here. 1t is not believed possible
that the allies can break through the
German front.

DRIVES IN BLAZING CAR.
Harry f. Grant Plunges on New

drowning his own screams of agony
; Harry +. Grant, .pluEging high on the
incline of the new Sheepshead Bay
Speedway at 100 miles an hour yester.
day afternoon, knew that he must not
stop.
Stretched out behind him were
many other cars, sweeping on at the
same high speed, so close to each 9TH
er and to him that they made long
blur in the eyes of onIooHers. Sudden
" to stop his car meant to wreck it,
and to pile the wreckage of many
other cars on top of it, with dead and
dying.
His own life and that of his machan
ician. Reuben Stafford. clutching the
seat beside him, also were at stake.
Stafford was screaming advice, but
Grant could not hear him. He did not
need advice. Grant, the veteran driv-
er. who had won two Vanderbilt cup
races and laughed at death many
times before had his. brain and his
nerve cleared for acton.
Round the top of the perilous in
cline the car still swept on, seeming
ly with undiminished speed, Grants
scorched hands clutching the wheel,
while every added second meant
sounding, he was giving the drivers
behind time to slow up their own
cars and avert tragedy.
"Why don't he stop. He's gone
craZy!" came cries from the grand
stand.
Then spectators saw that little by
little the speed of the blazing car was
diminishing downward toward the in
field safety "aproE," 1t came to a
stop as cred" Stafford leaned over
and put on the hand brake.
Stafford grabbed the screaming
Grant by the collar and pulled him
out Of the car, while gang of WORK
men rushed up and thre;v sand on the
blazing racer. The onl0okerS cheered.
Earl Cooper drove Up ir his racer and
him and rushed TO the Coney Island
Hospital. At the hospital physicians
said that while Grant had been ter
ribly burned from the waist down, he
probably would recover.
