fact that the ancient stories Of the
dragon have been preserved with re
markabls completeness, even though
they have been kept alive by verbal
currency for a vast number OF years.
The efficacy Of a one-eyed man as a
pig'siayer In Ireland Is a ease in point.
In The earliest version OF the dragon
myth the monster Is killed by the EYE
OF Rel. e.. the moon or sun. The
Greeks interpreted this literully and

Ever since the time when the human

HEY. RUBEv DAYS OVER WITH
GREAT CIRCUSES OF PRESENT

It's far cry from the days when
yells of "Hey, Rube!" on circus lot
assembled razor-backs, roughnecks,
kinkers, punks, drivers and perform
ers for "clem" "a battle with
stakess, pins and fists against row.
dies-to the present time when Sells
Floto shows troupe" in red, white
and blue trains with far less uproar
than there is on a homeseekers' ex-
cursion.
In the old days even the executives
of a circus mixed in the "clem," and
great was the carnage in plaid vests,
celluloid collars and pop bottle 'dia-
monds." Now a fight on the circus
lot is no more likely than a fight at
chautauqua. A battery of type
writer's is the most bellicose thing the
executives see. Heavy fines make an
occasional cuss word costly. The
circus uses all it's excess energy in
getting the trains of heavy equipment
over the road on time, loading, un-
loading, parading and giving two per-
formances each day save Sunday.
And when Sells-Floto circus comes
to Moscow the man who is known as
the pioneer of clean and courteous
showmanship-H. B. Gentry, the IA
nous comes with it. This
time he comes as big show pioneer,
it is claimed, for he has injected just
$75,O 900 worth of novelty and laugh
ter into the Sells-Floto performances,
the ''ten blocks greater" parade, the
million dollar pagenant," with it's
section of colorful and striking sur
prises, and the beautiful spectacle,
"The Birth of the Rainbow" color
full and inspiring extravaganza, en-
ploying 600 persons and 400 animals
in groupings and animated pictures
never seen under circus tent before.
All the circus sights one loves best
will be there, and, in addition, there
will be many that will delight with
their freshness and originality. These
things the men ahead of the circus
promise with the light of confidence
n their eyes.
