HAPPY FAMILIES
MANY IN
CIRCUS
Eighty-fiVe Performers Bound
by Blood Ties-CIoWn, Fair
Rider and Horse Pals

Spangleland-the land Of the cir
cus-abounds in quaint contrasts
and curious little incongruities prov
ing the old truth that human pa-
ture is the same the world over.
For example, beautiful Rose
Rieffenach, the Hungarian eques-
trienne with the Ringing Brothers
and Barnum and Bailey combined
circus, would never think of enter
ing the arena before John Slater,
the faithful old clown, came to give
her milk-white steed, "Pico," a
friendly pat and a lump of sugar.
This is daily occurrence, and the
bond of -comraderie between the
veteran Joey" the horse, and the
fair rider is strong, human and
free from sentiment.
In a corner Of his dressing-r room
trunk, John Slater keeps store OF
the succulent morsels and he never
fails to give his equine friend his
daily treat.
Miss Rose smiles graciously and
exchanges friendly greetings with
the old clown before riding into the
ring.
She regards him as harbinger
OF good luck.
With her sister Mitzi, Miss Rose
has ridden in all principal circuses
of Continental Europe.
Unlike the majority of brother
and SISTER" teams on the stage
where the ties are merely profes
sional, the Rieffenach Sisters car
lay claims to genuine bonds OF
kinship.
So also can the famous Clarks
those marvellous aerialists; the Mel
son family of acrobats; and the
Mi1ares Brothers, the duo of reck
less wire-walkers who fairly electrify
beholders of their thrilling somer
saults on a slender strand of steel
wire.
"The Greatest Show on Earth
is a veritable congress of happy
families.
OF the more than eight hundred
performers travelling with 1t this
season, 85 per cent are bound by
family ties. All will be here with
the great circus on Thursday OF
next week for a three day stay al
the Camp Meigs showgrounds.

ENGLISH JUDGE
ADVISES ON
MARRIAGE
Ten Commandments Are Laid
Down as Sureties for
Welded Bliss
BY HARRY r. FLORY,

LONDON, May 6.-The ten com.
mandments of marriage, prescribed
as certain producers OF marital
bliss. have been compiled by j. a.
r. Cairns, magistrate OF the
Thames police court, upon whom
for the last twenty-five years mar
riage problems have "obtruded.
Marriage can be a haven in the
turmoils of the world says the
veteran magistrate. But 1t can,
also, be a hell. 1t takes two people
to make it bliss. But 1t can be
done.
''It is the most trivial things that
begin the work Of disharmony and
destruction" /.
Here are the rules, as outlined
by the magistrate: ,4 s.
i. Don't expect paradise. Don't
expect to marry an angel or an
archangel, for disappointment will
ensue. Married men talk less, but
do more. Married women have
more to think about than twilights
on the river.
8. Avoid undue familiarity. Fa-
miliarity destroys friendship, and
it puts a heavy strain on love.
A. Be angry one at a time. A
postponed discussion has averted
many tensions.
S. Remember-things go wrong
in the best regulated houses. Some
men vent on their wives the anger
they feel toward the cook. The
cook can give notice.
s. Study each other. Don't let
the husband come home too often
to an empty house; nor the wife
think that a quiet evening at home
is monotonous.
z. Build castles in the air to-
gether. Build them about the fu-
ture-the new house, the children,
the holidays.
8. Put home life first.
8. Show your affection. Don't be
afraid to make an occasional allu-
sion to the old days when you
both were young.
10. Avoid cynicism and cynical
wisdom.

Twelve Per Cent Slash in
Taxes Also Expected-States
Urged to Follow Example

By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH. |.
The Administration plans to cut
Governmental running expenses
at least $30O,OOO,OOO during the
next fiscal year, it was learned
today at the Budget Bureau.
This cut can be accomplished
and still permit a IL per cent
slash in taxes which the Admin
istration plans to recommend to
Congress, it was declared.
Departments Must Cut
Estimated costs for Government
for the year ending June, 1925. are
$3,267 ,551, 900. This figure can be
materially reduced If Federal de-
partments will WELD the pruning
knife unsparingly against overhead
and unnecessary expenses, The bu-
reau said.
Among the reductions regarded
as certain is a cut of approximately
$50, 600, 900 in interests costs because
of lessening of the public debt.
Officials declared there were no
unusual expenditures in sight to
increase operating costs, and for
that reason are hopeful that witt,
strict economy all along the line
running costs can be trimmed
without curtailing any needful
activities of the Government.

The campaign to reduce expendi-
lures will be launched formally by
President Coolidge and II. M. Lord.

business meeting of the Govern
ment on June %. The economy
plea of Federal chiefs will be broad
cast over the radio. Plans are be-
ing made for a hook-up OF twenty
five stations.
During the summer, too, Lord
will carry the economy drive to the
public through a series Of addresses.
Aside from impressing the econ

will suggest to the States the value
Of following the Federal Govern
ment's cost-cutting policies.
Secretary Melons View.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
feels that a big portion of the
heavy tax burden of the country is
occasioned by heavy State and mu-
ricipal expenditures. The Govern.
ment feels that the subordinate
authorities should cooperate to
tighten the load.
Lord believes that governmental
economy cannot be accomplished IL
every city, county and State insist
on new post offices. Federal build
ings, locks and dams and other
improvements that must be paid
for out of Federal appropriations.
No such expenditures will be ap-
proved by the budget director un-
less they appear to be essential

NOGALEa, Ariz., May 8. - With
peace apparently restored in Mexico
and with that republic fast reor-
ganizing its departments OF trade,
commerce, industry, and agT1cul-
ture, improved international AZ
fairs between that nation and the
limited States are seen In this city,
which is considered the gateway 20
the west coast Of Mexico.
The spirit OF progress, 20 long
dormant In Mexico, is fast awaken
ling. In the states OF Sonora, 6inar
lIoa,, and Nayarit great irrigation
Ihydro-eIectric, and damming prob
lects are not only being spoken OF
ibut are In the making, Tor high
state officials are injecting into the
legislatures the idea OF exploitation
and building.
Mexican Economy.
According to bankers Of this city
who for many yeras have been
dealing directly with Mexican trade,
this great revival OF business y
principally brought about by the
great retrenchments made In this
Mexican treasury by President
Gales. who has cut down the ma
tional budget, and who. by DRASTIC
slashing in the military approprta<
ton. has effected an almost unbes
| Iievable economy.
TO this measure Of rigid economy,
retrenchment, and saving is AZ

Sonora, for many years idle, are
assuming an aspect of livelineaa.
The number of mining announces
ments made in the District OF

been so great In the month of
January that the officials OF that
small office were forced to cali for
co-workers and to broaden tho
scope OF work. .
Farming lands IN Southern
Sonora and Sinaloa are being talE
en- over by large agricultural I'M
terests and private operators. while
many colonization projects, idle for
years, are starting to open up.
Tomato Crop.
One OF the greatest features ana
one OF the largest assets to Mex1cOs
particularly to the west coast Of
Mexico, will be the tomato export
trade this year. which will run III
excess of $4,000, 900. Fortunate IN
having q large crop this season,
the Mexican market has been aided
by small crops In other sections.
To date there have passed
through this city, en- route for
practically every point In the United

ing from Sonora and Sina1oa, Mexi-
co. There are still approximately
