GIANT CIRCUS AT ST. PAUL
Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Add Entire Shipload of Big, New
European Features.

Arriving aboard 100 double length
railroad cars forming trains more
than one and one-third miles long,
and made even greater than in 1922
by the addition of many big, new
foreign acts, Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Combined will ex-
hibit at st. Paul Tuesday, July 81.
Those who read the daily papers or
who keep in touch with the movie
news-reels need not be reminded of
the shipload of acts and animals re-
Gently imported by the Greatest Show
on Earth The remarkable cargo in
cduding two companies of baby ele-
plants are now joined with tie forty
adults of the mammoth herd. There
were also 100 more performing horses
accompanied by Europe's greatest
trainer, and many wild animals,
some of which have been added TO
the scores upon scores of trained
jungle beasts, while others have be-
come part of the marvellous mena-
gerie.
More than million persons saw
the mammoth new cilcus of 1923
during the weeks that it exhibited in
Madison Square Garden, New York.
Now this marvellous exhibition is
touring the country aboard five great
trains. 1t is a third bigger than the
Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey show of last season. 1t is ten
times larger than any other circus
now on tour.
Big as is this wonder circus of
1923-with its more than thirty
trained wild animal displays in steel
arenas, fully 200 wonderfully schooled
horses, 700 men and women per-
formers, 100 clowns, and scores OF
features-the price Of admission is
no more than before. And though
the trained animal numbers and the
immense horse show were circuises IL
themselves while touring Europe
they are not offered as separate at
fractions by the Ringing Brothers
and Barnum & Bailey combined
shows. Instead all are on one gigan
tic program. Everything is in on
mammoth main tent. One ticke'
admits to all these and TO the ire
mendous double menagerie. There
are more than a thousand animals in
the zoo of this circus and these in

HOLSTEIN BREEDERS INVITED
TO DISTRICT MEETINGS
Secretary Oldham Sounds Call for
Eight Round-table Discussions.

For the past year, it has been a
noticeable fact that the averages
obtaining on pure-bred Holsteins IN
public sales has been far below what
they should be. The feeling is quite
general that the pendulum of adjust
ment is already swung too far in the
reaction from the war time peak and
that pure-bred prices are below par
as result.
The pure-bred breeder is being
compelled tv make too great sacrl-
fee when he offers his better animals
at public sale is common thought.
Wisconsin Holstein Associations are
awake to the situation and Secretary
Oldham wants to know wherein lies
the trouble and what can be done
about it. He proposes series OF .
district meetings to which sales
committees, sales managers, county
association officials, state associa-
ton officials and breeders in person
are invited for the purpose of round
table discussion. The meetings will
convene at 1870 o'clock and will be
held as follows:
July 31st GAINESVILLE
Aug. 1st Dodgeville
Aug. End Watertown
Aug. 3rd Fond dui Lac
Aug. 7th Appleton
Aug. 9Th Marshfeld
Aug. 9th Menomonie
Aug. 10th La Crosse.
This subject is of tremendous I'M
portance to one of the really big
businesses OF the state. Upwards OF
6O,O00,000 is tied up in ownership OF
Holstein- Friesian cattle in Wisconsin.
Quite naturally a goodly attendance
is expected to greet the state execa-
tive when the gavel sounds for this
discussion of unusual Importance to
the Black and White cattle owners
of this and adjoining communities.
The county Holstein Association
secretaries are in charge of the meet
ings in their respective districts and
it is expected that everyone interested
will cooperate in the closest manner
possible with those behind this for
ward seeing endeavor to determine
what is wrong with our Holstein sales
and to administer the antidote that
will remedy a factor of vital impor-
lance to the expansion Of the pure
bred idea in better livestock owner
ship in Wisconsin.

and the cross fox are always in
demand.
Patou makes many pleasing
coats for the coming winter. One
OF his most charming early models
is brown Smyrna cloth, trimmed
with a brown caracul. In cut
this is of the simplest form, FLAIR
ing slightly from the very narrow
shoulders. 1t is finished all around>
with a circular flounce of rather
closely cut caracul, the shade Of
which matches the cloth. The late
ter is embellished with a fine
braid trimming stitched on by ma
chine.
Drecoll is making a very tai
lored type of coat. He shows
these in models cut on beth
straight and flaring lines. A psi'H
ticularly striking model, having a
flare at the left side only, has a
narrow panel of fur on the skirt.
It is trimmed with brown pony
skin.
Agnes is having tremendous
success with a model developed in
brown or beige Smyrna with more
or less elaborate embroideries of
soutache, and with big collar and
cuffs formed of kolinsky. The GU
rious feature of this coat is that
It has flaring fullness at one side
only, the back and other side
being perfectly straight with a
pronounced en- forme flare at the
right side.

Extravagant Decoration Used
To Display Exquisite Pelts
Series of Puffs Marked With Silver Gaoon-Alter-
mating Strips of Velvet and Fur. ~

Two types prevail in fashion
able furs for the winter of 1928
"a. One is the natural short
haired pelt or closely cropped or
sheared fur, and the other a thick
lustrous, long-haired fur. Of the
latter, fox, lynx, raccoon, bear,
skunk and marten are highly ap-
proved. Needless to say, the more
costly and rare sable and chin
ehiIla have lost nothing from the
standpoint Of popularity in face
of the thicker furs mentioned
above. These two furs are both
being supplanted-one by the less
expensive, though still costly,
mink, and the other by limitations,
notably wistache, a cross between
chinchilla and opossum, the South
American hybrid.
2 OF the flatter furs earacul,

some beads. This makes a very
handsome garment, extremely
dressy and appropriate for eve
ming.
Moleskin, while not an expen-
sive fur, lends itself beautifully
to manipulation, as it can be
worked almost like cloth With
embroidery one sees it arranged
sometimes in a series of puffs,
separated by bands of silver braid
or silver galloon. Again it is cut
in the form of petal-like tabs,
which will form borders or entire
sections.
The seated figure at the top of
the page shows a beautifully
worked mantle of moleskin, with
trimmings of silver braid. In this
model the soft pelt of this little
animal is worked in almost minute
detail, as if it were a fabric. The
whole lower half of the cape is
composed of a series of puffs,
separated by slender lines of sill
yer braid. The upper half is
formed of the moleskin sewn in
little tab-like pattern in vertical
lines. The collar is worked in the
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-09-23

sheared lamb, Hudson seal, mole
skin, Persian lamb and pony skin
are all being used. These furs
are often embellished or combined
with beautiful embroideries. There
is quite a fashion for moleskin,
combined with gray duvetyn or
gray velvet. In every instance the
fabric is almost completely COW
cred with a beautiful embroidery,
usually done in silver and gold
threads. Sometimes there is a
sprinkling of metal paillettes and

ame detail. This mantle has a
gorgeous gold brocade lining.
The combination of leather and
fur is the novelty of the season.
Many handsome fur coats have
pocket bindings, borders, collar
and cuff edgings and big fancy
girdles of suede leather, the
leather often embroidered to bring
it into closer harmony with the
fur. Sometimes a notified or
Batik printed leather is used, over
the surface of which is distributed
embroideries in harmonizing
tones. The vogue for excessive
decoration leads almost to the
painting of the rose and the gild-
ing of the lily, so great is the de-
sire for establishment by means
of embroidery, jewel ! studdils
painting and printing.
A particularly smart fur coat,
made of kolinsky bands sewn in
vertical stripes and trimmed with
leather, is sketched at the lower
left of today's page. The leather
forms the pocket flaps and sleeve
straps.
Ermine bids fair to be tremen-
dously popular for both day and
evening wear. The short-length
white fur coat will be much worn
upon most informal occasions It's
substitute, the white rabbit, will
also come in for a good share of
attention. The new feature of the
short fur coat is that it is often
deliberately trimmed with an
applique or strongly marked
pattern of embroidery; thus it be-
comes an even more distinct nov
city through its excess Of garni-
ture.
Max, the well-known furrier of
the Place de la Bourse, shows a
beautiful white ermine evening
cape with a deep kerchief collar.
This mantle also has the absurdly
deep shoulder formed by a yoke
which reaches to the waistline.
Over this falls a disappointed
handkerchief collar. The skirt
portion has a fair amount of full
ness which hangs in perfectly
straight lines.
Another handsome evening
mantle is composed of chinchilla
bands, which alternate with strips
of gray velvet deliberately EN-.
broidered in silver. The collar
consists of a large puff of the
silver-embroidered velvet, banded
with chinchilla. This mantle has
an extravaganza silver brocade lin
ing warmed here and there with
stripes Of red and yellow WARP
printing. This model is from
Grunwald and is one of the most
promising of the winter season.
Chinchilla and broadtail are
charmingly combined in a pane
cape. A deep-shoulder cape is OF
the chinchilla and the panel skirt
fullness of the broadtail. Thi:
model has the quaint 1880 look
as the shoulder cape fairly molds
the figure, impri~oring the arr
! in the fashion of the early sos
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-09-23

The skirt portion falls in panels,
which open over silver cloth
foundation. The lining is of black
satin, trimmed with gold and silver
braid.
Now comes the three-quarter
length mantle, often made in
handsome furs, notably sable. The
model at the upper left of the
sketch is from Valencienne, of
Paris. 1t has just been completed
for an American woman who mar
ried into a royal family. Sable
worked in vertical and horizontal
lines form the collar, yoke Sec
tion and cape flare. The lining
is a beautiful brocade in lovely
shades of amethyst and cyclamen
which blend so we'll with sable.
Sufficiently rare to be almost a
novelty are the tailored suits de-
veloped in fur. Taupe promises
to be a leading factor in models
of this character. A suit from
Youngmann, of Paris, made for
one of his American customers,
who will wear it on Fifth avenue
next winter, has triple skirt and
box jacket. The edges of the
sleeves, coat and tier of flounces
are scalloped, the scallops measur-
ing just the width of the little
skins that panel the garment. In
addition to this extravagant detail
worked in fur there is an en-
broidery in red and gold which
forms pockets, covers the inside
of the collar and makes a vest eff
feet when the jacket opens. This
embroidery is done or a founda-
ton of light gray crepe.
Lanvin makes beautiful combi-
nations of cloth and embroidery
and fur. She uses a velours de
laine or Smyrna cloth on which
she does the embroidery, usually
in metal, heavy and stuffed to give
the repousse effect of the Renais-
sance period decoration, from
which most of her designs are
taken. Often she bands these gar
ments in black fox of exquisite
quality.
Furs play a large part in the
decoration of cloth coats. 1t is
here that the long-haired furs are
especially popular. notably fox
and lynx. The natural color blue
lynx might almost be said to be
first choice Its wonderfully soft
and becoming fur makes beautiful
collars, cuffs and border bands.
The newest woolens are in
Smyrna and jacquard weaves, the
former in plain and brocaded pat
terms of single or multi-tones and
the latter often shot with metal
thread which gives an illuminating
note extremely attractive in con-
trast with the ordipary wool cloth.
A preference is Shown for dyed
fox skins which harmonic in tone
with the tissue used.
Only few of the dyed fox arc
artificially pointed, women SEEM
ingly prefer the soft tone of the

Notes From Paris

Youth, youth, youth is the cry
in fashion. There are no longer
mature fashions. There are styles
which middle-aged women adopt if
they are conservative, but Paris,
as the creator of fashions for the
world, knows nothing of maturity.
Her designers think only of youth
and beauty. In consequence,
there is more than ever the craze
for simple things.
Following in this wake has come
the shingled bob. A veritable,.
craze exists in Paris for shingled
hair, cut short at the back like a
boys and the front left just. long
enough to wave and draw out over
the ears in a sort of puff-like
fringe. 1t is a very becomiY,
style and suits exactly the present
simple styles in hats.
The wide-skirted dress of the
Eugene period is just now being
taken up by middle-aged women,
notably women with white hair,
who affect these deliberately deco
rated Imperatrice styles for care
monious evening wear. They are
really charming and much more
appropriate for elderly women
than for young girls. Madame
sorel, the famous Paris come
dienne, is sponsor for this fashion.
She would hardly acknowledge to
being middle aged, but she really
is, and looks most attractive in
this style of dress. She has a
rather slender waistline = cid
fashioned, one might say, because
Sorel belongs to the age Of the
tightly laced figure.
Smart American women resi-
dent in Paris are following Sorel
by adopting this fashion. On Sum
day nights at the Ritz one can see
many mature beauties with snow
white hair wearing these pic
turesque dresses of the type worn
by Eugene, reputed to have been
one of the best dressed as we'll as
one of the most beautiful women
of her period.
The fad of the moment among
smart women is to affect certain
style of dress to the extent of hav-
ing no less than one-half dozen of
one model, each one being made
in a different color. This craze
for uniformity, and one might say
individuality, extends also to mil
linery. The smart Parisienne is
ordering her hats by the half doz-
en-, all of one style, and the Amer
lean woman is her follower. Maria
Guy has made five hats of he
same shape and size for an Amer
lean woman who is enjoying the
social season in Paris and is graft /.
flying her taste in dress by out
rivaling even the fair Parisienn,

Autos Kill IS a Day

Motor cars killed about 35 per-
sons a day during 1922, a total
of more than IL, 900 for the year.
The figures are from the Nation
al Safety Council and are not be-
lieved to cover all cases. City
police records show the motor
car death rate increasing at "a
bout 10 per cent a year, but as
the deaths increase so does the
rate. Cities showing appreciable
decreases in auto deaths in 1922
are New York City, Washington,
Kansas City. Rochester and
Cleveland. We shall have to

FROM ANCIENT GREEK COINS
Curator of Boston Museum Believes He
Has Found Origin of Old
Golden Receptacle.

Lacey ID. Caskey, curator of classical
art at the Boston Art museum, believes
that he has made discovery regarding
the origin of the solid gold Greek liba-
tion bowl which has just been put on
exhibition at the Art museum.
II found the bowl weighed the equiv
alent of 100 Babylonia shekeles, 100
Persian darics and 100 Corinthian stat
ers," explained Mr.. Caskey. "The
Greeks took their unit of weight from
the Orient and when l discovered that
the bowl weighed the same in oriental
money as in Greek money, I was satis-
fed that the bowl was made from
Greek gold coins of the Seventh Gen.
tury, B. G.
Another very interesting feature Of
the bowl" said Mr.. Caskey, "ls it's in
scription. The sons Of Cypselus dedi-
Gated this from Heraclia.' The bowl
was found at Olympia and it is thought
that 1t was part of the spoils after
