LIFE OF CIRCUS GIRL
HEALTHY AND NORMAL
Youth and Beauty Not Only Qualifica-
tiOns for Feminine Artists.

The Unsuitable desire Of the stage for
young and pretty girls, even If without
noteworthy talent, does not have a coun-
terpart with the circus Unfortunately
for these innumerable recruits for the
stage, youth and beauty do not survive,
and when these two qualities are not
these girls find themselves miserably
afloat in the flotsam and jetsam of great
cities.
Veterans Of the Hagenbeck-W Wallace
Circus, which comes to Ardmore on
Tuesday. September II. declare they
have never known of a corresponding
instance amidst the life Of the white
tops There are about 1000 employees
with the Hagenbeck-Wallace show
nearly 400 of whom are women.
AS a matter OF fact, the majority Of
circus girls are the most refreshing the
healthlest and the cleanest minded
young women ever assembled together.
Many Of the so-calIed 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.

the circus girl is I'm the open, where she

family people at heart and not at all
like the misguided public is prone to
consider them.
Many entire families, ranging from
grandparents % yearold children, travel
with the lIageubeck.Wallace Circus and
enjoy all the comforts and privacy Of
home life. In some OF the ring acts three
generations of "a family are performing
at the same time. Most of the really
great circus performers Of today are des.

field is largely due 20 the heritage Of
clean living and clean thinking that has
been handed down from generation TO
generation.

ARDMORE CITIZENS URGED TO
adopt" MEMBERS OF
ENGINEER COMPANY.

Who viii be a SammyBacker?
That is the live question in Ardmore
today
Supt. c. w. Richards brought up the
subject in his address to the soldier
boys at Central Park Thursday night
and it took instantly and the name Of
more than one boy in the engineer
company was handed to the anxious in
quirers who crowded about Captain Pat
terson at the close of the meeting.
But there are 1862 of these soldier
boys, and each one of these embryo
Sammys Should have a backer.
Here is the idea. Get the name Of
some boy in the company from the
captain. Sec him if you can before he
goes, but if you cannot do so, write him
when he gets to Camp Bowie at Fort
Worth. Tell him you are going to be
his Sammy Backer and you want him
to have you his confidant That he
can tell you his secrets at all times. If
he wants something from home that
h not TO be had at the front, to say So.
If he wants you to pass on a word or
two to the girl he left behind or to get
