Going back to the subject of theatres
we have seen some of the most wonderful
performing animals here we have ever
seen and we have seen a few. Among the
most noteworthy were the horses and dogs
we saw lady perform with her three
horses most wonderful stunts such as
dancing the two-step and while she was
on his back he would take step with the
music, first one foot forward and the hind
foot on opposite side at the same time,
then change the ones opposite side next
step then lnee on his knees and lay his
forehead on the floor and she on his back
and one came on the stage and reared on
his hind feet and walked backwards and
sat down in a Morris chair. Then there
were some most wonderful tricks done by
the donkey or common mule which some
in this world think have no brains or
feelings but the stunts they can do on the
81 chou fhaxr ptttxxrlf humane
and we also had the pleasure of seeing
and hearing Harry Kahne, the youth of
2S with the master mind There is
nothing in his appearance that would
suggest the abnormal He looks like
any chap you might see on the street.
He can do five things at once and we saw
him do it to, talking and looking you in
the eyes, at the same time writing a
sentence backwards, another forwards,
another upside down, and writing figures
which later added up, bring total that
tallies with that of any total which you
have previously named. 1t is perfectly
simple he says, all you have to do is to
concentrate and he has only been on the
stage little over year.
We also went to a circus given by Uncle
Moses for the poor kiddies and saw many
kingdom, some of which vii! name such
as an extra leg with foot and hoof grown
out on the shoulder of apparently
healthy and good sized cows. Also saw
another large nice looking COW with her
heart in her throat. You could see it
beat regularly and as the lecturer said all
of her food and water must pass over her
heart. He said it had baffled all veter-
Ihara nItnr-
ent forms of two-headed calves but these
were dead. There also was another live
cow with a bag on her back just at one
side of the tail and many freaks in almost
every other animal, such as chickens,
ducks and rabbits and many Others that
were dead and preserved in alcohol or
stuffed too numerous TO mention. There
also was one freak of human nature
a hoy and a girl, twins, born attached at
the shoulder with a hand between the
two heads at the neck but of course these
were dead and embalmed.
Anyone can put in a very interesting
day here in the chamber of commerce
where every tropical fruit is on exhihi-
ton and they give free moving picture
lectures of the different counties of south
ern California and Their fruit prOduc-
tions.
We have beautiful roads everywhere
mostly cement or concrete and of course
the automobile drivers get careless here IS
well as elsewhere. Traffic death toll for
March, 1921 was q dead and 52l Sc
riousy injured in automobile and street
car accidents. More than ?, 427 accidents
have been reported by Police Statistician,
L. WYyons. Traffic death toll for March
Is the largest in the history of the police
department.

call from Mr.. and Mrs. FELTON,, but it

auto ride with them and they took us to

full picture with their rich orange colonng
