Handsome Horses in
John Robinson's Circus

DESPITE the supremacy of the au-
tomobile and the threatened ar
rival of the motorized circus. the
| horse is still the king of the arena in
| the big tent shows. A circus without
horses is inConceivable. and the astut.
circus manager realizes this even more
than does the public.
The John Robinson show. the oldest
big circus, which will again appear in
| Washington Monday and Tuesday.
May and 10. has an cnvia bic reputa-
tion for its horses most of them west
ern bred. and raised largely for ex-
hibitior purposes. There are several
| hundred. ranging from the heaviest
draft horses to the finest and most
aristocratic racing stock. The horses
are utilized to some extent in moving
the show from the cars to the grounds.
but most OF this work is done with
modern tractors.
The real mission of the horse in the
John Robinson circus is for exhibi-
tion purposes in the big preliminary
street parade. in the opening spectacle
and in an unusual number Of high
class riding acts.
Special attention. it is announced. is
given to, equestrianism. and this fea :
ture is given unusual interest because
so many OF the riders are young WON
en-. There are principal riders and
! menage riders. trick riders and whirl
| wind riders to exploit the beauty OF
the horses and thescleverness of the
riders. in superb costumes.
In one number there are two dozen
high school riders and in another the
rings are fairly crowded with clever
and pulchritudinous young woman
riders Of distinction.
Americas finest horses and the
! worlds prettiest circus girls are prom
Sed as irresistible attractions to
those who admire both.

ITALY AGAIN MECCA
OF TOURIST THR0NG
Wonderful Road System of
Country Greatly Aids
Motor TRANSPORTATION.

Italy has now fully regained the
favorite position she occupied before
the war in the estimation OF tourists.
This Is shown by official statistics
concerning the number of holiday
makers both native and foreign. who
visited TIE better known resorts in
various parts OF Italy last year. Dur
ing the month OF August. for instance.
the region Of Nenlse received an aver
age of 10000 visitors a day. Although
this month is not the most agreeable
for touring. the number of foreign
tourists was high in all the resorts
appealing TO travellers. Thus, Flor
ence received $3.50 tourists. of which
81 per cent were foreigners. COM
prising 57i Americans. l07 English.
ia French. 81 Belgians and Scan
dinavianS and "a South Americans.
There Is every indication that dur
ing the present year the number of
foreign tourists to Italy will be high
er than ever, and the Americans will
come in particularly big numbers.
This is not surprising in view of the
magnificent natural beauty OF the
Italian Alps. the equitable climate and
the historic and artistic wealth of
the country.

to hesitate on bringing a car into
Italy for fear of not being able to

Railroads always being extensive to

CLIMB THRILLS MANY.
Dudley Perkins Wins Feature
Event,

. Capistrano, the premier motor cycle
hill climb contest Of the year on the
motor cycle sport program was again
held this month. AS
usual. the event provided the most in
teresting and absorbing kind of sport
for over 10000 spectators. who came
from all oyer the southwest. The con-
test, which is held over an incline that
is nearly perpendicular and 500 feet
long, drew the entries of over a
score OF the best hilI>climb experts in
the country. Dudley Perkins, a San
Francisco sportsman, won the feature
event for the second consecutive time.
He beat his former record by 9 Sec
onds and not only conquered the
seemingly impossible grade. but trav-
eled up and over it at speed Of over
thirty-two miles an hour. Capistrano
lies about halfway between Los An
geles and San Diego on the coast road
and is SO named because it is situated
near the old Spanish mission of San
Juan Capistrano.

TIRE CHANGES SUGGESTED.

After the rear tires have worn con-
siderably, interchange with the front
tires. 1t is also good to reverse sides.
The tractive strain on the rear wheels
makes it advisable to place new tires
on the rear wheels. moving the old
ones forward Some of the greatest
mileage records known have been
gained in this way.

VALVE CAPS USEFUL.

Don't throw away your valve caps.
Screw them on firmly and prevent air
leakage here. The valve plunger, a
little mechanism inside the stem,
serves as an air lock during imitation.
but the valve cap is the secondary
air seal during usage. Miller tire
men advise using the valve to initiate

HOW TO FIX SPRINGS.

When two or more leaves OF

to insert new leaves without first
having the remaining leaves reset.
When springs have been in service for
a considerable period they gradually
settle. Consequently. the new leaves
will not fit properly with old leaves
and another broken spring will be the
