high jump; Nefflen in the shot and

BILE in every event in which they are
entered. Spencer is particularly strong
In the dashes, hurdles and distance
runs but will not contest in the weight

SAYS YANKEE GIRLS
LACK IN DARING
English Equestrinne Thus
Explains Why So Few
Of Them Are in Circus.

American girls are afraid to risk
their necks, that is why the circus is
composed mostly Of foreign perform
ers."
So affir7ns Miss Flora Bedina, En-
glish equestrdenne with the Sparks
circus, which will spread its tents
here for performances tomorrow,
May 10. She bases her assertion on
the proof that there are few Ameri-
can women in the equestrian ring to-
day. q
almost all circus riders are French
Italian or English" according to Miss
Bedina. 1.-THE women of America are
too tmlid to risk their lives on the
backs Of swiftly moving horses, and
so they seek positions in the choruses
OF theatrical companies, where they
find 1t difficult to progress.
There is more chance for promo
ton land certainly greater distinction
in being a performer in a circus
ring than in the chorus Of musical
comedy show.
"Of course, you know many Of the
foreign women are apprenticed in the
circus work from youth and bareback
riding is handed down from genera
ton to generation. But then, there
are plenty OF women who start in on
their own responsibility and became
successful in the equestrian ring.
II admire the woman who Is not
afraid, and advise some of the Choir
us girls who are plodding along in
musical comedy with small hope for a
chance to get a principal part to aban
don the stage and take up the circus
life.
1T pays more and there is plenty
Of room for novelties, brains and tai
emit. II the American girl were as
brave and athletic as she is thought
to be, she wouldn't hesitate between
musical comedy and the circus"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

New York is the largest city in the United
States Of America and the largest center OF
population in the world.
AS such IL is Americas pride.
But sometimes we are ashamed OF it.
Because, like all things over-successful, it
occasionally gets chesty, /. e., it thinks more
highly OF itself than il ought to think.
For. after all, our great cities are but the
expression and front OF the vast country
behind them. New York City is great only
because it is the exponent Of Oklahoma,
Iowa and Dakota.
The roots Of Wall Street run down TO
Louisiana and TO Illinois.
II Is the focus of business where the rays
from Texas and Colorado meet
And If there were no hinterland there
would be no New York.
Like every great metropolis, New York
is apt to suppose itself to be the whole
works. Hence, like all the proud, it be-
comes now and then absurd.
New York is the show-place of the coun-
try. Broadway is its Midway Pleasance.
Strangers visiting the city want to dance
and caper and drink and watch the mounte-
banks that throng the garish highway.
But New York is not the United States.
II does not represent the United States.
II is a good deal of European dump
heap. Much Of it is foreign. an extraneous
something clinging to our shores.
New York does not want prohibition. It
interferes with its high-jinks, its profit
taking. and it Europacity. But Kansas and
Nebraska want it. and the multitudes of
plain bourgeois that swarm the hills and
dales of the uncitified territory. the u. S.
A., wan. it. and New York is discovering.
greatly to its humiliation, that it is part
of the L. S. A. and will have to conform.
New York is metropolitan. Also ex-
cessively provincial. II is apt to forget that
civilization is not bounded on the west by
Jersey City.

Mechanics Place in Democracy

The American mechanic has been rs large factor as
the statesman in the democracy have attained up to
date
The mechanic has economical and distributed human
energy for the and cheapness by which we obtain the
necessities comforts and many of the luxuries of life
And the ease and cheapness by which obtain our
wants is quite important in democratic program as
the expressions of will in the matter OF law and gov
The average man or woman of today carries watch
that only king queen could have afforded century
Many of us can in our homes and at will hear the worlds
greatest symphony orchestras and human song birds
These together with the uulitar1an items oil our
modern ife due to the efforts of the American me-
chancevery desire for increased and low cost
including the modern pow the reaper the automatic ahe
the punch press the power loom and sewing machine
1t true that there great mechanics in the old
world long before the conception of social democracy
but these MADE things only for the very rich.
The large difference between the American mechanics
and those of the old world that the Americans devoted
their efforts and ingenuity machinery and tools and
dies to produce thing in quantity and at low cost while

He thus produced the parts with such uniform accuracy

On the ISSUE Of

LITTLE OLD NEW YORK
ny DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank cranej

New York is city OF strangers, all pre-
pared TO do anything once, all impressed
with horror Of being "pikers" that is
why they pay $40 a day for hotel accom-
modations they could get for SO in SYRIA
cuse, and $11 for dinner that would cost
them $3.50 in Denver, and 81 for ride
in taxi which in Oshkosh would cost them
so cents.
Sophistication is its god. Not to know
celebrities and not TO have seen the latest
girl show is its idea of shame and disgrace.
For all that, New York is the greatest
place to live in in the world, the wrestling
place Of giants, the literary and artistic
center of the Western World, the gladdest/
baddest, maddest. humanest, craziest, cheap
est, most expensive. loveliest, ugliest. clean
est, dirtiest, happiest, saddest, kindest.

For the Full Sunlight of Freedom

Language is the prime basis of understanding
1t seems that people cannot have the brain cell
arrangement and be in agreement without speaking the
same language
We get along pretty well with neighbor, Canada
for speak the same language.
We always in kind of a quarrel with our
neighbor, Mexico; for speak different language.
One reason, and perhaps the main one, that Holland
and Switzerland get along well with the rest of the world
is that they are both nations of lingusts.
Both small countries with commercial relations with
most other nations, and, for very material reasons
languages have long been made particular part of their
public school systems
Bank clerks, store statesmen, and even newsboys on
the streets of Holland cities will often try FIVE languages
on foreigner before finding his native one
This is argument for learning all languages
of the EARTH for the earth speaking one language but
it presents the necessity for the language here
in America if we going to get well together
The largest, fullest brightest ray in the full sunlight
OF freedom here in America is understanding
The prime basis of this understanding is one
language the prevailing language-Engish.
