JOHN ROB|NSON'S
CIRCUS EXHIBITS
TUESDAY IN CITY
One of the Best Circus
es Ever Seen Here
Draws Good = Sized
Audiences and Is
Enjoyed By ALL
Many Novel a n d
Thrilling Acts En-
h~41@I -
braced in Program

circus day Tor Augusta for the
1919 season came on Tuesday when
John Robinson's shows exhibited af-
ternoon and evening at the Capital
Park and gave universal satisfaction
to good-sized audiences. This cir
Gus is always favorite in the city
and this year was bigger and bet
ter" than ever. embracing many
thrilling and daring performances.
One Of the things that John Rob-
lnson's circus can take pride in its
the variety of entertainment offered
and 1t is this ever changing scene
in the arena that make thees shows
particularly enjoyable. Surely there
was not a dull moment during the
performances, not a minute when
there was not some worth while at
traction. And the large troupe of
clowns kept the "kiddies" amused as
we'll as the older folks.
The shows arrived in the city early
in the morning coming from Bangor
where they exhibited on Monday, and
as usual the youngsters were up
bright and early to watch the proc
ess Of unloading the cars. The pa
rade was started from the grounds
at about IL A. NJ. 1t was a long
and interesting parade and was a
very good drawing card for the main
shows. The weather was ideal for
the circus.
One Of the most interesting fea-
lures of the big show performance
was the Nelson familys work. Their
acrobatic stuntS and tumbling
amazed the audiences. This group
includes the father. mother and sew
en- children, the oldest being 81 and
the youngest five years. The son,
the youngest of the family. was
brought in upon the stage in a trav-,
cling sack, and despite his age he
surely was one of the bright lights
Of the act. They roll. tumble, form
pyramids and do many other diff
cult stunts with ease. Miss Astralia
Of the group did the trick Of turning
over 30 somersaults in quick success
sion and the young lady certainly
won rounds Of applause.
Two thrilling acts were introduced
near the close os the show and as
'thrillers" they were enjoyed by ALL
Miss Minnie Fisher came down a
200-foot slanting wire. from the top
Of the tent to the ground. swinging
from a mouthpiece held between her
teeth, and Mile. Lorette did sim
liar stunt hanging by her hair. The
aerial troupe performed a number
Of iron-jaw stunts ending with a
butterfly dance in the air which was
a very pretty feature.
Another act which was thrilling
and required no small amount Of
nerve was performed by one Of the
members Of the Jap troupe who
made a 16-foot dive through three
hoops lined with knifes. And an
other Jap slid backwards down the
2o0-foot wire from the top of the
tent. keeping balance with 4 Japan-
csc parasol.
The slack wire work by two men
ana three ladies was another very
pleasing part Of the show. the per-
formers being exceptionally clever.
And the dancing of the women was
especially graceful and clever.

lures abroad. Least of all should we
depart from the policy adopted in the
tariff act of 1918, or permitting the
free entry into the United States of
raw materials, needed to supplement-
and enrich our own abundant sup
plies.
Nevertheless there are parts of our
tariff system which need prompt at
tention. The experiences Of the war
have made it plain that in some cases
too great reliance on foreign supply
is dangerous and that in determining
certain parts of our tariff policy do
nestle considerations must be borne
in mind which are political as well as
economic. Among the industries to
which special consideration should be
given is that of the manufacture of
dyestuffs and related chemicals. Our
complete dependence upon German
supplies before the war made the in
terruption of trade a cause of excep-
tional economic disturbance. The
close relation between the manufac-
turer of dyestuffs, on the one hand,
and of explosives and poisonous gases
on the other, moreover, has given the
industry an exceptional significance
and value. Although the United
States will gladly and unhesitatingly
join in the program of international
disarmament, it will neverthe less be
a policy of obvious prudence to make
certain of the successful and main
flamenco of many strong and we'll
equipped chemical plants. The Ger
man chemical industry, with which we
will be brought into competition, was
and may we'll be again a thoroughly
knit monopoly capable of exercising
competition of a peculiarly insid-
ious and dangerous kind.
Trade Equality Demanded
The United States should more
over have the means of properly pro-
tecting itself whenever our trade is
Disseminated against by foreign ma
tions in order that we may be as
su- Il of that equality of treatment
which we hope to accord and to pro-
mote the world over. Our tariff laws
as they now stand provide no weapon
of relation in case other governments
should enact legislation unequal in
its bearing on our products as COM
pared with the products of other coun-
tries. Though we are as far as posi-
