that there was once COB who mixed his
beans with honey so they would stick to his
knife but the steel thrower did not see the
humor Of this. and said the clown better
stick to two highs and back falls with
bang bang on the cymbals to make 1t look

We called the train 'The Sawdust Special"
AS we couldn't possibly get all of the audi
ence into one car and have the show too we
struck on the plan Of playing it as sort of
one car stands. Starting in the baggage car,
we formed for parade and, while we didn't
have the red and golden wagons and the
"panoply of pageantry" that we used on the
highways out in the stick country, yet we
probably set the pace with a circus parade
on a solid ten Pullman car train from Arkan-
sas into New York with nothing but circus
folk aboard. We had enough of band to
head the procession and then came a clown
leading goose and all along the line was
something else novel and thoroughly of the
wagons red. Every one was requested to be
in his berth apd down the aisles lined with
these pajamaed and populated shelves of ap-
plauding humanity we paraded stopping in
each car long enough to give our hitherto
unheard of and unexcelled performance"
After we had finished, the concert was an
nounced and In came the singers porters,
cooks and waters as a sort of Pullman
afterpiece. You will not wonder that when
we reached New York the trip seemed all
too short.

the same feeling at different times that the
music Is heard.
We also studied the effect of the per-
sons own mood, at the time. What kind
sad and when we are gay? Is there any
difference in the results which the music
gives under these different conditions? In
a large group ofspeople one finds all kinds
of humors. What influence does this have
upon the effect of the music, and is this
influence constant? In a group Of fifty.
five women each was asked to record her
moods and to tell what kinds of music she
would like to hear. Then set of records
was played and a comparative study made
Of the relation of different moods and de-
sires to the effect of the music.
For the sake Of convenience these moods
may be characterized as active or passive.
When one feels happy or bright, excited or
restless there is feeling of surplus energy
within ones self which he desires to ex-
pend on something outside. When, on the
other hand, he feels serious, sad dull, tired,
depressed, discouraged forces from the
outside are stronger than his desire to
expend energy.
The results show that more people want
enervating music than quieting music.
More than that, there are one hundred and
thirty.two requests for music like the exist.
ing moods as against seventy-eight requests
for music unlike existing moods. For any
given person this relation is astonishingly
consistent. Suppose you feel happy or gay
and want gay music, tomorrow you may

Gus flies south in the winter but there must
always come a time on the calendar when
1t is too cool for the outside show.
People who perform in circuses give
dumb show. Their acts are those that
appeal to the eye. Thus the circus act that
is good is as much an attraction at Madison
Square Garden as 1t would be In Cuba, South
America, Cape Town, Congo or in continental
Europe. whe most ring novelties come
from. Thus when 1t is time to ring the
last bell of the season the majority of acts
are already booked for the winter with tent
shows going still further south. to the per-
manent clrcuses that are beginning to come
back in Europe or else to vaudeville or the
big Hippodrome in New York city.
The day before the close Of the show
number of new men are seen around the
tent, and all of them seem to be particularly
well known to the heads of the outfit, and
especially to the performers. 1t soon turns
out that these are the representatives OF
various railroad and steamboat lines, agents
who for many years have been in at the
finish to sell transportation home to the
people of the show-sometimes as many as
1900. and never less than 800 with real
caravan.
All circus performers own and carry their
equipment, SO in the aggregate It makes a
great lot Of shipping that goes to every part
OF the globe. All Of them have numerous
trunks Of costumes and effects. Then, from
the sleeping cars In which the eight month
seasons travelling has been done is stripped

souvenirs, not forgetting the alcohol stove

r F you would know the firm and unyield-
ing strength of the family tie Of circus
- folks you should be on the lot the last
day of the season. 1t is the last of every
thing In another sawdust year. 1t is good
by after eight months in the hoop-la Of
spangleland, and 1t is the beginning of a
scattering to the four corners Of the globe.
Circus people look forward to this last day
OF the season with all the expectancy that
marks the group around the country store
just before the advent Of home week.
Though 1t means the close of the season Il
has none of those stalking bogies that pursue
and dwell in the dreams of the average in
dvidual on the verge of losing a job or
having his monker cut off of the autograph
list that is closely akin to the cash register.
To the average circus person 1t simply
means a rest that has been planned and
provided for. the going back home to the
farm or Just a change from under the can
vas to under the tin roofs of the town halls
and a few gilded opera houses.
Weeks before the final performance and
the last crack of the whip, months before
the last time the elephants have pyramided
on the red painted tubs and the clowns have
avalanched down mountain Of blue boards
into sea of pine sawdust 1t is the excep-
ton to find a soul Of the circus that cannot
tell you plans for the winter. and there are
many very good reasons why.
Thrift has been a circus performers char
acteristic since the first days Of showdom.
You might find the man with the shiny
stovepipe hat. the hawserllke gold chain and
the tiger claw pendant still talking in super
latives on State street or Fourth avenue in

Extended Experimentation
On Lines Of Mood Change

Not long ago we made study similar
to that of the mood change chart, but 60
ing further into details and more carefully
controlling the conditions. The problem
was to find out whether given piece of
music has the same effect at different
times. Fifty young women Of college age
were the subjects. The same musical se-
lections were heard at two different times
seventeen days apart, under exactly the
same conditions
The results show that the music does have
the same effect in a majority OF cases.
Some music which arouses a certain feel
ing will arouse the same feeling practically
every time 1t is heard, while other music
will arouse the same effect the second time
In only about one-half Of the hearers. Con-
sidering the number of different kinds of
effects which music gives the probability
of receiving the same effect would be 6
per cent. or less. In all the numbers tried
no one showed less than As per cent. con-
sistency, and some ran as high as 81 per
cent This shows definitely that there is
something IN the music itself which gives
Albuquerque morning journal., 1921-12-29

feel sad and want sad music; the music
you want is In keeping with your mood.
On the other hand, suppose you feel gay
but want to hear serious music. tomorrow
you may feel serious and want something
gay; the music you want is in contrast to
your mood. The relation Is constant.
Your mood at the time may play con.
siderable part in the effect which the music
gives but 1t is not the most important
part. Among the people who heard the
same music on two different occasions re-
suits were studied from fourteen people
who felt gay at one time and serious at
the other. The music gave the same effect
under the two opposing mood conditions.
Evidently the music itself Is the most po-
tent factor.
"a The need for variety In music cannot
be overemphasized. Listening to the same
kinds of music day after day is like get
ting the odor of the same perfume. 1t
finally ceases to have any effect. II 1t be
a strong one it may become nauseating.
1t certainly has not the pleasant effect
that 1t had in the beginning. 1t Is good
for us to have all kinds Of music, If for no
other reason than that 1t arouses variety
of feelings, but we may say, u don't like to
feel sad or serious" 1t Is healthy that we
should feel serious sometimes.
The need for different kinds of music
is not unlike the need for variety In foods.
We should grow very tired of eating
spinach every day or Of having nothing
but lamb chops for a month or even a
week. And yet some of us try to live and
be happy on the same kind OF music day
after day, year after year.

with the jazz music. It has become jazzier
and jazzier, in answer to the common de.
mand. The ordinary jazz failsAto have any
effect. A certain amount of jazz Ia whole
some, but only limited amount.
We do not understand music. Most of us
only feel 1t. We are not conscious Of the
sources Of Its effect. Seldom do we realize
that rhythm is the predominating element
OF our feeling for gayety or excitement;
that melody with the pleasing instrument

the several musical elements plays its part
in the emotional effect which one gets, but
it is only rarely that we stop to analyze
these elements or to relate them to our
own experience. We are usually satisfied
that the food which we eat is palatable
and appetizing, and yet sometimes we wish
to know how a certain dish was made.
Best of Music at Hand
Ready to Be Drawn On
Time was when to hear any really good
music one must travel miles and pay ex-
orbitant prices for a single evenings pleas
ure. No matter how far removed from the
centres of musical activity, the best of
music is at every ones command. The
seemingly unsurmountable difficulty Of ac-
curately producing the human voice and

of music, but music to satisfy a certain
desire. We shall buy music to rest lis when
we are weary, music to stimulate us when
we need 1t. We shall be given music to
cheer us when we are sad or music to
satisfy our more serious desires.
Perhaps you will not know what you
need to hear, but the efficient music Ii
brarian will know. She will examine your
needs the stock you already have and will
give you the kind of music which will
round out your library, and give you music
for every mood and for every desire.
