By EARL N. FINDLEY.

The new aeronautical sensation
in Luna which will begin Its thrilling turbu-
lent, turning tossing, triple-screw activities on
May p will carry you in three directions at
once, producing million emotions, any one of
which will be worth the price dime.
Camels have been imported from Arabia to
lend atmosphere to the inside of side-show
whose outside is gaudy with Union Label
statutes representing the Sphinx.
Walters who have seen many exciting oc-
eurrences in their nomadic existence, especial
ly in pursuit of tips at night, have busted last
seasons aprons, with which they are now dust
ing this seasons plates, with eyes and hands
open for more dust For a consideration
these individuals already bring beer in glasses
SO small that the Prohibition Party would
pass theD by unseen.
Early birds are arriving at dear old Coney
in twos and threes. An organ, imported from
Berlin just before the war began, plays inces-
sanity while a carrousel flashes its colored
glass in the sunshine
The music is mostly classical. The man who
invented the organ that resembles In volume
and fneness a whole German band, should get
an Iron Cross if there are any left
PRIVILEGES ACCOMPANYING A COMFY
ISLAND TIP.
When you tip the waiter as much as you pay
for what, in Coney Island, passes for glass
of beer he will let you sit and listen to Will
helm Tell"
Later you can tell there are hot dogs ad-
iacent. Your sporting instincts scents tbs
brutes.
You are filled with lassitude. Spring has
entered your soul. Old dreams filter through
your semi-consciousness. Balmy breezes from
the ocean make you yawn, luxuriously. The
yellows and greens and brilliant blues being
applied to the towers and fraudulent fronts OF
the nations playground become subdued into
your idea of heaven You are no longer en-
tirely responsible.
You have eaten hot dog.
You feel the need of exercise
You have been told that plenty Of walking
is best to ward off hardening of the arteries,
and you feel that yours are not becoming
softer
The man on the main street with his half
dozen camels is asked whether he has any
thing to say for publication
He concentrates his attention on two camels
dressed in brilliant curtain effects. While we
cannot understand what he says, we feel it
has considerable point. He is addressing the
caunels who are in the act of not kneeling,
though it is desired that they kneel.
REMARKS AND sHRUGS IN ARABIC,
THE SHRUGS BEING UNDERSTOOD.
His remarks are in Arabic.
Two Arabs that are chaperoning the camels
shrug their shoulders, and blush with mortih-
cation, or something, through compilations OF
black-and-tan. 1t is as though they felt that
the Big Boss might discriminate in his criti-
cism between camels and chaperones.
We explain that we do not understand
Arabic The man shows no surprise, no in
terest as to what we might understand, gives
no intimation that he credits us with ability
to get matter before the public, even though
he forgot the job of influencing his camels to
kneel long enough to tell US what 1t is all
about.
We 90 away, but not before a new outburst
directed at two camels just arriving at the
doormats proves TO us once again that, ap-
parently, this man has nothing to say which
can be construed as intended for publication
in a Sunday paper.
The camels will give a good performance.
No man can be 50 absorbed as this one was
in his camels without Getting Something
Done.
Luna looked little pale and worn from the
outside. A gateman led the way to the little
office where callers are investigated to find
whether they are showmen searching for fresh
ideas or merely curious visitors.
