No! One must fling out heart

abandon. Give-never count the
cost. Pour out to Life all that
one has. Then Life will bare her
brimming breast and yield it back

Clowns Organize for
Less Work, More Pay

PARIS, Mar. 10 eQ9)-The life of
the clown is to be made brighter in
France by an association for the pro-
fessional defense and mutual aid of
the funny men.
Clowns work harder under their
grease paint and get less money than
any other theatrical headliners, said
the founders of the association. They
also contend that fame smiles less
fruitfully on their ranks than it does
on other theatrical artists.
Such famous funmakers as Fratel-
lini brothers, Charley of the Cirque de
Paris and scores of others known
throughout Europe are members of the
new association.
Too many calls for charity purposes
is one bugbear of the clowns life spec
ifically mentioned by the association.
Another is low salaries, which found
ers of the society think they can regu-
