conclusion of the number, are com- bined in one mammoth company so numerous that the entire length of the hippodrome is required to stage their gigantic performance. Picture a "pyramid' made up of six times as many elephants as were ever before used in a single grouping and you will have some idea of the immensity of the latest achievement in animal subjugation. The increased size of the pachyderm acts may it is said, be taken as an index by which to measure all numbers in which dumb actors participate. In place of the usual two troupes of seals, five will be exhibited. These ride horses, play upon IA different musical instru ments, engage in basket ball contests and perform feats of juggling which surpass human attainments. There are l 5 troupes of beautiful horses and knowing ponies that perform without brides or riders. There are others that participate in remarkable statue numbers.
 Added to these are trick monkeys, mules, goats pigs. geese, cats, pigeons and more than a hundred wonderful dogs. There are one or more troupes of every wild and domestic animal known to the trainers art. And each has its clown.

POLES. fRRTia"


 A packed house greeted Polls thea ter yesterday afternoon and the au- dience were well repaid judging from the applause. The picture part of the program finds the ever popular Charles Ray in his latest release, Paris Green" Though he is just 8 rube from a small Jersey village, Ray. as the doughboy hero of Paris Green,' makes things hum for the single hour that he spends in Paris.
 The vaudeville part of the program is good from the opening act to the featured headliner. Sweet sixteen is one of those little musical comedies with good looking sprightIy girls and two clever comedians, Bert Morrisey and Jack Collins. The dialogue is snappy and up to the minute. A local girl, Mrs. Bert Nforr1sey, is also in the act.
 George Kirby, an elongated chap, sings and tells stories in an original manner. Bobby Bently and Go. in d sketch entitled 'Iies and Lies," Les Merchants, a quartet of French en- tertainers and Mack and Sale, round out the vaudeville bill.

HUMM1NG BIRD HoUsEKEEP1NG

''In little over two days the home was finished and no time was lost in moving in," says R. l. Brasher, relat- ing the story of a hummfng bird family in "A Gallant in Ruby and Gold" published in the July number of Boys Ltle. "On the third morning a peep through the binoculars reveal ed a tiny white egg almost exactly the shape and size of a bean, lying snugly in the downy bed. The next morning another reposed alongside and I caught. Sir Ruby perched on the side of the nest looking, it seem- ed to me, somewhat mystified at the treasures. The so-ca1led head of the Ruby-throat family has very bad habit of losing all interest in subse- quent proceedings, deserting his wife and home after, and som metimes be- fore, the eggs are laid, so I fully ex- peeted this particular gallant to fol- low precedent and disappear.
 While he fingered there,- wonder ing what those two white objects could possibly mean, he was rudeiy awakened by a sudden dart of emer- aid driving straight at him. Did he turn and fly? No, indeed! Off. he slid and up on the first dizzy turn of the courtship half circle, while she, from a point directly above the nest, slowly sank down on the eggs Up and down he went a dozen times. al- ways facing her as he went past the nest. Here was an interesting varia- tion from the conventionally indiffer- ent male Ruby-throat, and thereafter every opportunity which offered found the glasses following the little pair.

THE MULATTO QUESTION.

In South Africa there are 600,000 mulattoes, in the West Indies a like number, and in the United States there are close to 3,00O,000. The colored population of Porto Rico is more than sM-sevenths mulatto. Since 1850 the percentage of mulat- toes among the blacks has increased from II per cent. to 20 per cent. However, this does not mean, as some have hastily concluded, that 3,OO0,000 children in the United States have white fathers and black mothers. It merely means that there are 3,000,- 900 who have some white blood in them and in afew generations it might easily happen that all the colored race would become nulattoes through the intermarriage of blacks and mu1attoes without the addition of any white blood whatever.

The law was en- acted at the instigation of the for eign representatives to save tuef and over the protest of the agricultural regions. Recently Salzburg province issued a decree annulling it, now the Tyrol has followed suit while scat tered communities and districts all over the country still use old time. It is resulting in endless confusion in train schedules where the lines cross provincial frontiers and in connec- tions between main line trains and local.

The story deals with a feminist who has a certain hatred for men and tries to persuade her girl friends to join her in her ideas. Handsome Harrison Ford, Constance Talmadge's former leading man, is chosen to change her thoughts regarding the masculine sex, and by the way he succeeds. A very good cast is seen in support of these two stars.
