at the strangers cage. He hoped tc catch another glimpse of him. i Cufy had not been watching long when he saw sight that filled him with amazement. My goodness. Who's that?" he gasped. Where he had seen the lit- tie head and the little hands he now beheld something entirely different. huge tail and two great. long, strong legs appeared. And on each of these le~s was hind foot with an enorm /, wicked claw.
 Bramble the Bear was close at hand. Cuffy turned to him breath lessly.
 There are two strangers in that cage." Cuffy cried. There's g. little weak one;. and there's big, strong one. They aren't the least bit alike. 1 don't think it's safe for that mild one with the deer's head-do you?9
 Bramble the Bear gave him an odd look.
 If I were you" he said. 'I'd speak to Johnnie Greens uncle"
 Somebody ought to-" said Cufy Bear. t (Copyrisht. 1928, by Metropolitan

nle's Uncle Jims show. the better he 1 liked it. There was plenty to eat And there was plenty of company. of all sorts. If Cuffy wanted quiet agreeable talk. he could always hnd somebody with whom to have it. somebody like old Major. the broad backed white horse that worked in the ring. If he wanted a liveher sort of time, there wast always some friskier friend-somebody like the Little Trick Mule.
 There were still many circus ami mals whose acquaintance Cuffy had not yet made. Every day, almost. he saw strange creatures. Some of them were so queer that he often mur- mured to himself, Well. If 1 hadn't seen this myself I'd never have be- lieved It."
 And now. as Cuffy tugged at his chain, trying to peep into cage that stood not far away. he saw a face that was new to him. smallish, 6eerlike head appeared behind the iron bars. Cuffy could see only the creatures head and his fore legs, short. slender. and with feet not un- like hands For these feet had five fingers each.

TRANSFORMATION

If the great public could be train. ed in all safety first and health prIn. ciples. we could save thousands of lives every year. Emergency cases in drowning. heat stroke. asphyxiation or fainting can be easily handled fl you only know what 10 do. and do it as soon as possible.
 In drowning accidents the lungs partially All with water. This must be expelled as soon as possible. The respiratory organs must then be arti- ficially induced to perform their nor nal functions if life is to return.
 The action that is generally used now is known as the Schaefer method. It is simple and effective. It should be taught in every high school.
 For your own protection here it is:
 Place the subject prone (face downward. turned to one side) on the ground, with a folded garment or blanket under the epigastrium (belly). Kneel athwart (across from side to side) facing the head and place your hands on each side over the lower part of the back (the lowest. ribs). Slowly throw your weight forward on your arms, thus pressing down upon the thorax of the subject and squeez- ing the lungs so that the air is fore ed outFof them. Then gradually relax the pressure by resuming your erect position without removing your hands from the subjects back. This per-. mits the air to enter the chest as the ribs respond from their own elasticity.
 Repeat these movements at the rate of IF to Is times a minute. Keep it up as long as necessary. The sub jects hands rest palms down on the ground just above the head which is turned to one side. This posture allows any water in the chest to drain from the mouth.

..BACKSTAGE...

\, II, Van Buren. former leading
 man with the Poli Players ai the Palace in Hartford and late Of the
 Grand at Worcester, Mass, will star
 on Broadway sometime the latter
 part Of this month in Time" q
 drama by Arthur Hummer. Mr. Van
 Bnren previous to his Worcester en- ragement appeared in New York and
 Boston In Tt is the Law"
 When Tom Martelle, playing in his newest offering, "fhe Fashion Girl" at the Grand theater, Worcester. made his appearance on the stage towards the end Of the third act on his last days engagement, after q lighting change from stunning girl to n handsome youth he was greeted with tremendous applause from the mat inee girls. and his happy and clever little wife in the wings iaughingly ex- claimed Hero After that matinee performance Tom had to wait in his dressing room for more than an hour to allow for the dispersal of more than 100 fappers who besieged the stage door waiting to sec him." Martelle scored with this same pro- duction with the Poi Players in Hart ford the week previous to his Worces- ter engagement.
 It is a peculiar coincidence, and perhaps unknown to the management of both theaters, but at the Lyceum on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday there appeared so-called star land Revue.' screen digest of events in the theater world. Under a head ing Leading Vaudeville Stars fol- lowed by. a subtitle Roth Kids Clever Broadway Entertainers, ap- peared two young girls in what was rated as one of vaudeville's best offer ings. The latter half of the week the girls appeared at the Capitol theater in person and scored one of the big gest hits of anyone on the bill.
 Paul Whiteman and his orchestra have gone into rehearsals with the new edition of the "Ziegfeld Follies," and an added attraction with the show will be Bee Palmer, originator Of the famous shimmy dance who | scored so heavily in vaudeville and | musical comedy revues about three years ago. Another young actress to De recruited for the revue is kath- cen Martin, who abandoned the stage ,wo years ago to do motion pictures with Metro.

 T wouldn't fsel right to borrow the money of you, MT. Cocoran. I would much rather sell them"
