PITTSBURG,. Kans., Dec. E0.-It
really isn't best for folks back in the
East to wait too long before "going
West" A pitiful illustration OF this
is found in the case of Capt. Sanders,
for years a leading trainer of wild
animals. Capt. Sanders Joined the
Carl Hagenback shows when the cir
Gus man was in Hamburg, Germany.
and came to this country as Hagen
backs chief animal trainer. He
earned a fiattering reputation in the
East as a fearless trainer and had
the distinction of being the first man
TO handle a lion for the movies. He
built the scenes and handled the
So lions used in Selig's great photo
play of Roosevelt's African hunt. and
markable actions with wild beasts be-
fore the camera.
But he wanted to como West. He'd
never really been injured by any of
the wild beasts he handled. but there
had been some close calls and there
was always danger. A little store In
some frontier town that he and his
wife, also a performer, could handle,
with time to spare to train a few ami
mails now and then for the market,
was what he wanted.
He came here and started his store,
away from tire dangers he had known
so long, away from the old life-pio-
neering. He had escaped from his
experience without a wound, scratch
even, a remarkable record. Here was
just the ordinary. hardy life that one
must expect to find, but at least free OF
the danger Of wild animals. The other
day he broke his arm trying to crank
his fiivver.

BLIND COMPOSER
TO HEAD PROGRAM
DR.. Adam Geibel to Give Recital
and Lead Cantata at Cen
tral High Center.

DIR. Adam Geibel, blind composer
will appear in an organ recital at
Central High community center on
Tuesday evening. January 6, under
the auspices of the Community Center
Department, District of Colum bia
Public Schools, as a part of the sched-
ule of educational and musical eve
nings for the season.
DR.. Geibers recital on the organ
will be followed by the giving of his
cantata, The Incarnation" directed
by himself, to be sung by a chorus
of 80 voices and 5 soloists we'll known
in Washington musical circles.
Adam Geibel is recognized as one
Of the most remarkable musicians in
the country, and his compositions are
played and sung the world over. He
is the composer of Kentucky Babe, "
which has been translated into nearly
every language and sung all over the
world. He is probably best known
for his Sunday school and church
music.
The recital at Central High audito-
rum on January 8 will be at o'clock
and the cantata will be sung by the
Highlands Community Chorus. The
Community Center Department will
present this program through the
courtesy and with the cooperation of

application OF every rule. He Is, in
other words, learning the business of
Senator, and hopes to devote his
future years to 1t. While other solons
fit into the chamber and out again;
in the cloak rooms, Mr.. Butler sits
at the desk formerly occupied by
Henry Cabot Lodge and drinks In
the proceedings from the first to the
final rap of the gaVel.
Senator Butler Is a living exempli-
fication of the old proverb that bread
cast upon the waters will return. He
wanted to, run for the Senate this
fall. In fact he was all set to go.
Then President Harding died and CAL
vim Coolidge became President. This
threw a new light on the situation.
Mr.. Coolidge wanted to stay in the
White House and he also wanted
Butler TO manage his campaign. Mr..
Butler could not run for office and
engineer his friends battle for the
White House at the same time, so he
gave up temporarily his own ambi :
tions.
Unexpectedly came the death OF
Senator Lodge. 1t was a foregone
conclusion that Butler would be ap-
pointed to the vacancy. He will have
to fight for election two years from
now. His chances OF success then
depend almost entirely upon the
esteem in which the country will
hold President Coolidge at that time.

not have time to make much of a

Ter will be a spectacular Senator; he
will be committee worker and not
an active man in debate, although
the Democrats will try from time TO
time to twit him into it.
Holding the job of Senator and be-
ing chairman Of d national committee
at the same time is not an easy task
Mr.. Butler will be held accoun able
for all administration acts, but the
chances are that the cudgels for the
administration in debate will be
taken up by Senator Curtis OF Kan
sas, the majority leader. Mr.. Butler
may be the representative of the
President in Senate affairs, but he
will not be the public spokesman.
He, too, Is a silent man.

SANTA CLAUS CLUB

LONDON, December 10.-With the

There, are hundreds of thousands of
such "slate clubs" all over Britain, to
which subscribers contribute their
weekly pence, or sometimes ShillingS.
throughout the year for the purpose
of having lump sum to draw for
Christmas-and midsummer--festiyi
ties. The amount of money saved in
this manner runs into millions of
pounds. but so careless is the average
''slate club" memb&r that every year
numbers of treasurers are missing"
when the time comes to share out,
usually week or 10 days before

poverty in many homes which had

Practically every factory, workshop
and warehouse, many small saloons
and stores, have their annual slate

ly trusted with the savings of the
members, usually without the slight

and the result is that innumerable

of them are allowed to go scot free,

Some Clubs a Blessing.

! One of the largest of these Is the
| Tabernacle Street (London) Club
which annually distributes more than

don subscribers. The treasurer of
this institution annually places him

day OF the share-out, and draws the
money from the bank under police
escort.

no control over such clubs and can
