The modern clown is a paradox. he
is the same as in the days OF Dan
Rice, away back in the last century,
and yet he is a different clown. The
same in that he paints his face in ver-
million and white and adhers to the
time honored, ridiculous pattern in his
dress, different because his work to-
day is practically all pantomime,
whereas that of the ancient clown US
ed to compose of singing, reciting and
telling jokes, at which time no other
act works in the big show.
The change in the clowns method is
the logical result of shifting condi-
tions in the circus world. In other
days, when one ring sufficed the tent
necessarily was small, fact which
permitted the clown to be distinctly
heard from any point under the can
vas. At that time, one act was quite
enough for such a limited audience.
The clown being obliged to contribute
his share to the program, hit upon the
pleasing and successful idea of sing
ing, joking and reciting.
In the shifting scenes of time, the
country became more populated. The
circus proprietor enlarged the big
tent. Then a second ring was added
and finally third, with couple of
stages and an enormous hippodrome
track. Acts were placed in these rings
on the hippodrome track and in the
aerial enclave, that all might have
good view. The clown found that he
could not make his voice heard in so
large an aera, so he resorted to pam
tomime, or dumb acting. The modern
clown is one of the most pleasing fea-
lures of the big show.
There are more than fifty clowns
with Hagenbeck-W Wallace circus. There
are clowns who impersonate policemen,
prize fighters, baseball players, far
mers, etc. The Hagenbeck- Wallace cir

HUGE PAGEANT
THIS WINTER
OVER S. D. & A.

"The Winning of Barbara Worth"
in the form of huge pageant is dis
tinct possibility this winter as part
of the celebration over the opening OF
the San Diego & Arizona railway.
Mrs. John Kepley of the Pen Thous-
and club, George Anderson of the
Chamber of Commerce and County
Development Agent A. M. Nelson are
responsible fer the plan.
The plan has met with instant favor
and the following committee from the
Chamber of Commerce will assist in
the presentation: George Anderson,
Ross B. Hickcox, Clifford Coggins, o.
B, Tout and |, T. Sparks.
Plans discussed include the presen-
tation on some spot in the desert, say
near Seeley, where thousands can see
it or perhaps presentation near this
city. The committee debated on plans
for financing the pageant, and while
the first plan included an admission
price, it was later practically decided
that it would be presented free. No
plans will be executed however, until
the finances are all arranged for as
the committee put is foot down on any
plan which would leave adeficit.
The pageant based on Harold Bell
Wright's novel, would depict the COM
plete history of Imperial Valley.

ly the same conditions as obtained on
the car, and when the test and ad-
justment is complete, there is not a
shadow of doubt about it's being able
to perform to perfection.
When starting motor is ready for
a test, he attaches it to the same
chuck in the same way as he does the
generator.
But instead of applying juice to the
dsiving motor, he yanks couple OF
switches and it takes real man
to turn that same motor, and he will
let you prove it by seeing how fast
you can turn it by pulling on the
chain. This, he explains, is an cleo
trio brake.
Then he attaches couple of big
wires onto the starting motor that is
being tested. These wires lead from
those storage batteries under the
bench. The starting motor gets busy
driving the electric brake and meter
right in front of his eyes tells him
how much energy the starting motor
is able to exert. Thus he is absolutely
positive that it is going to whang the
automobile engine over fast enough to
start on cold morning.
Clever, isn't it?

CHUCk'LL MAKE

Over at the Auto Electric and Bat

Chas. (Chuch) Leighty, who came to
Ell Centre last May to take charge OF
the electrical work in the progressive
shop owned by Harry f. Clem and
Chas. +. Ferguson, is showing off the

It's actual fun and a liberal educa-

First he shows you the "growler'
which he passes over lightly with the
statement that nobody tries to test
armatures without growler, and that
his only differs from those found in
other shops in that it was specially
wound to order so that it would give
equally accurate tests on the smallest
generator armature and on the largest
starter arnlature.
The armature to be tested contains
the secondary windings. When alter
mating current is applied to the pri-
mary winding of this growler. there
are induced currents set up in the
windings of the armature being test
ed, and these induced currents can be
measured and the exact condition OF
the armature can be determined. In
other words you can tell whether Oh
not there is short circuit or open
circuit in the armature and if there is
either you can tell exactly which col
is affected, even though they are all
interconnected at the commutator.

test, he attaches it to this test rack.

Modern CLoun Paradox;

Mr.. Hoffman has visited and been

terry plants in the United States. He
has his own formulas for active ma

One of the special features of the
local plant will be the fact that the

can thus secure service at reduced

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York. Aug. 13.-There was n
little more disposition to sell coffee con-
tracts this morning and on the opening
call prices were to 3 points net lower.
There were transactions in virtually all
the positions.
Part of the early buying came from
trade sources and was thought likely
to be for the purpose of covering hedges
against sales of spot coffee late yes
tcrday.
On the other hand. there was some
trading. which was believed to be hcdg
ing against supplies of coffee other than
Santos, and, if anything, the market
showed tendency to sag off after the
call, with December selling at 20:S55 or
) points net lower.
Business was rather more general
at the start, but was mostly in small
lots.
