Peter Pan, Circus Spirit, Graft
fled As 10000 cIamor
for Admittance.

Peter Pan, the ageless sprite. sat
on the topmost pole OF the big top"
Of the Ringing Brothers and Barnum
& Bailey circus, at Camp Melgs,
today. looked down upon the thou
sands Of Washingtonians who had
forgotten their gray hairs and their
wrinkles for a day-and smiled a
proprietary smile. The spirit of the
circus was doing his stuff
Look at EN-" said Pete" coming
in street cars, on bicycles and on
foot. and parking their automobiles
outside the gate. There must be
10000 OF them at least. And the
ones who were born 'befo' de war
are Just as young as the 1918 crop.
There's a Sunday school party,
and there's a crowd from Walter
Reed, and I'm blessed II there isn't
a gay sortie from the Old Ladies'
Home. They're never too old. and
never too young. I get 'em out Of
the cradle and out OF the chair by
the fireside."
Mr.. Pan Is Gratified.
Mr.. Pan looked down on a shifting,
good d-humored food of heads, on long
queues of walters at the three ticket
wagons, on the shrill.voiced refresh
ment and souvenir barkers-on the
sawdust and the low-lying cloud Of
dust and the gay punches of toy bal.
looms.
II guess I'm about the most i'm
portant member of this outfit" he
grinned.
Although Pedro and the circus
will be here for thru days, be-
ginning today. the lure Of the
opening day-and a good day at
that-proved too strong for a larga
segment Of Washington's popula-
ton. Special street car service as.
sisted the huge afternoon audience
in getting ~ the grounds. The per-
formances fthe show start at 2
o'clock and at s o'clock, the doors
to the menagerie opening an hour
earlier.
John Ringing who. with his
brother, owns the big show, was on
the lot yesterday to see that every
thing was in readiness for today's
performance.
He attracted much less notice, how
ever, than his namesake, John, the
working elephant Of the show. who
pushed the wagons into their places
simply by use or his protuberant and
padded forehead.
Thirty or forty OF John's-the ele-
phant's-kinfolk were chained in a
row on a grassy plot near the rear
of the camp, where they grazed with
philosophic quiet.
Some Of them drank from tubs Of
water, replenished from time to time
from one of the shows several
water wagons, successor to the
volunteer water boy.
The elephants were the only ami.
mails fed yesterday, as 1t has been
found that the beasts keep in better
condition II permitted to fast once
a week.
Crowds surrounded the trained
animals cages in the rear Of the
main tent. The menagerie animals
do not perform. and the two classes
are kept apart.

they might even say they were
per cent Of the population OF Penn

both Senator'S? Why should they
have all the representation? My
idea is that the per cent should be
contented with one Sendtor-namely,
Major Reed-and that the 95 per
cent should be permitted to have the
other Senator-namely,m ma. That ia

BILE getting audiences"
1t will be seen that Burkes Idea
is that Pepper also represents a
bloc-a small one but a bloc. Pepper
is a very learned man and also what
many learned men are not--a man OF
taste and of charm. He Is a flower
of culture whom Burke accuses OF
having become a buttonhole bouquet
in the coat lapel Of the specially
large big business interests OF
Pennsylvania. He emphasizes and
illustrates this charge by constantly
denouncing Pepper for having voted
to let Senator Newberry remain in
the Senate.
He has given Pepper a bad time
and Pepper the other day in n wild
effort to speak the language Of rough
and ready politics said that he was
mad now and would spit in the eye
of any bulldog that got in his way.
Burke in delight rejoined that, of
course, he was not an educated man
like Pepper, but he would never use
such language, at least not in the
presence of ladies. although in view
Of the fact that Pepper had said that
the bonus was a sort OF beggary by
the service men 1t was clear that
Pepper was quite willing to spit In
the eye of the boys back home from
France.
In this sort of conversation be
has been with the railway conductor.
The crude. cruel situation now is
that unless Ed Ware, the distinguish.
ed ash, trash and garbage collecting
contractor OF Philadelphia, gives a
firm support through this whole
alleged sinister and corrupt political
machine to George Wharton Pepper.
the seat OF Boies Penrose might go
to Bill Burke. In which case 1t is
certain that Senator Curtis and Sena.
tor Smoot and also President Har'
ding will begin by comparison to
have a great regard for Albert Beve-
ridge OF Indiana.

"Wets"

NEW YORK, May is
"Wines for women" is the raj
lying cry started today by fem

Under the direction of Miss
Elizabeth Marbury, who chal-
lenged Lady Astor to a prohi-
bition debate, the women who
are opposed to the eighteenth
amendment began plans for a
huge anti-prohibition campaign.
"The women Of the country
were the first to demand pro-
hibition," said Miss Marbury.
"They will be the first to de-
mand its repeal. And for the
same reason-because they
stand for temperance.
"The mothers Of the country
will wipe out the eighteenth
amendment. It has taken the
saloon from the corner and
smeared it in every dance hall
and restaurant.
"The glass. Of beer or light
wine which a young woman oc-
casionally took has been re-
placed by whiskey. That is
what we oppose"

Says Complexion Of
Child Determined d
By Temperature
BY Universal Service.

PARIS. May 15.-The mys-
terry of why a blonde Is blonde
has been solved by Prof. Ar
thur Peyse. according to his
own statement. and it has moth
ing to do with peroxide.
Whether a baby will be a
blonde or not. says Peyse, de-
pends simply and solely upon
the condition of the mothers
blood at the time Of birth. The
fathers hair has nothing to do
with it.
If by reason Of delicate
health or fatigue due to expos
ure to a hot climate the moth
er's blood is 30 per cent thin
ner than normal. the baby will
be a vivid brunette, says Peyse.
On the other hand. he as
serts If the mother Is healthy
and has normal blood, the baby
will be a medium blonde.
