In Spite Of All This
Villa Still Lives

cisco Villa was human arsenal weigh

eight bullet wounds; thirty hangings
and several beheadings, if California

of misrepresentation by Mexican curio

Soft nosed bullets, some blood stained,
were sold by the dozens under the rep
resentation that they had been remov-

many troopers parted with so cents

hanged the bandit leader. Several SOL

LIFE BEHIND SCENES LIKE BIG FAMILY IN CAMP

What about the circus girl? Ism It
she an impossible person, of hard face
and uncertain morals?
These are some of the questions that
will be asked next Saturday by the
throngs of sightseers who will crowd
the sidewalks during the morning hours
when the circus parade is passing, and
who will visit the show grounds of the
Barnum G. Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth during the afternoon or even
ing.
In the host of nearly 1,400 persons
who are attached to the Rarnum &
Bailey circus this season, nearly 400 of
them arc young women, either ring per-
formers or ballet girls. Hence it can
easily be understood that the women
are one of the most important adjuncts
of the circus.
As a matter of fact the majority of
circus girls are the most refreshing,
the healthiest and the cleanest minded
young women ever assembled together.
Many of the so-called girls are mar
ried women with young daughters and
sons, who are also with the circus.
There is little difference between the
girls of the circus and the ordinary,
healthy girls who live in comfortable,
refined homes, except that the life of
the circus girl is in the open, wnere she
has better opportunity to develop
both physically and mentally.

Johnson viii Not Stump
Oregon for Hughes

Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 6.-Governor
Hiram Johnson will not make a speak
ing tour of Oregon in behalf of Charles
E. Hughes. While this decision was not
announced by the governor, the infor-
nation came today from a reliable
source. 1t was pointed out that the
governor is in need of rest following
his hard campaign for the republican
nomination for the senatorship and
when this recuperative period is up he
will have to plunge into his own cam
paign against George S. Patton, the
democratic candidate. The governor
has not yet replied to the Hughes cam
paign committee of Oregon which ex-
tended him the invitation to stump
that state, but he will probably answer
that it will be impossible for him to
make the tour.

Life behind the red curtain which
separates the dressing rooms from the
rest of the circus is not unlike that of
big family in camp. Here the women
do their own sewing, their laundry,
their reading and writing and the in
structing Of their young cnildren. No
body molcsts them, no profanity is al
lowed to reach their ears, and the at
mosphere in which they live is as re-
fined and respectable as it would be
in the best regulated home. Circus
folks are home loving, family people
at heart and not at all like the mis-
guided public is prone to consider them.
Many entire families ranging from
grandparents to year old children trav-
el with the Barnum & Bailey circus
and enjoy all the comforts and privacy
of home life. In some of the ring acts
three generations of family are per-
forming at the same time. Most of the
really great circus performers of today
are descendants of long line of cir
Gus ancestors, and their success in their
chosen field is largely due to the her
itage of clean living and clean think
ing that has been handed down from
generation to generation.
On account of tne new, Oriental spes-
tacular display, "Persia, or the Pa
geants of the Thousand and One
Nights" the circus employs more girls
this season than ever before in its his
