OratOry

The National Oratorical Contests
bring the winners of the contests il
the States to Washington each year
and these winners in turn secure {
tour of Europe. Several millior
American boys and girls will write
! essays on the Constitution and the
American Government in the next
few months and they will participate
in the great events at home which
may lead them on to fame.
Mr.. Randolph Leigh of Washing
ton, is the organizer and director OF
these wonderful contests. In ans
wering the question, What is Ora
tory?" he says: Oratory is not
merely literature. 1t is not a mat
ter of moving the arms or the lips
or the eyes or even the eyebrow
but of moving the audience" He
described it as the most difficult
of arts" He furnishes very inter-
esting information concerning the
subject, and in his book entitled
"Oratory" he says:
"Oratory presents the difficult
problem of utilizing under a rigor-
GUS time-limit, four variable and
dissimilar elements in such a way
as to affect conduct. These four
elements are: % The orators lit
erary equipment complete mastery
of words suitable to his task; (2)
his physical equipment voice, bod
lily symmetry, etc.; 90 his psychic
equipment (those deep buried
flames within the soul without
which all else is as nothing); and
(4) the receptive equipment of his
hearers. AS prosaic a thing as a
head cold may destroy the effect of
what would have been an excellent
speech. A faulty instinct for words
suitable to a particular occasion
may foil the most persuasive voice
and the most attractive personality.
The inspiration of a speaker, which
may have been tremendous at a
given time on Monday, may at the
same hour on Tuesday be at the ebb.
In even the most ardent individuals
the fires within the heart flare up
and fall back with battling irregu-
larity."
In continuing his observations, he
says:
"Oratory is the art of bringing
ideas to white heat and then letting
them loose among men through the
agency of the most pow
erful stimulus known to man-per-
sonalityy Launched thus, ideas
centuries, have swept into
and speeded up the currents of life.
Untagged, imprinted, often unper-
ceived, they throb on and on, as do
ether waves-not to be ignored
merely because not fully understood.
Truly an exacting art, this ora
tory, with its battling ramifications
and its immemorial vigor. But,
what vast returns it offers-returns
in influence, in power and, above all, |
IN giving to the prisoned, inward |
self sweep and fire and wings"
The above are valuable points in |
with a great educational !
movement which calls for brain
work and oratory from the youth of
America.
Get in on it!

DOWNIE BROS. BIG THREE %
RING ANIMAL CIRCUS COMING
HERE ON SEPTEMBER 1S

Next to the words of transatlantic
flying nowadays in every youngsters
mouth are that of the circus is COM
ing, for gala posters spread on bare
walls, billboards and barns announ-
ce that Downie Bros. Big Three
Ring Wild Animal Circus will ex-
hibit two performances in Milford
on September 13.
The young will become old and
the old young. For the next two
weeks or so every mothers clothes
line will become a tight wire and
every backyard garage will have its
trapeze. Thus the advance herald
ing of the circus means the jing-
ling of pennies dropping, the kiddies
banks preparing for their greatest
day-Circus Day. Downie Bros.
Circus this season has been enlarg-
ed to twice its former size and now
carries three rings and arena and
elevated stage. Many new and novel
features have been added
The Downie Circus is one of the
few shows that still maintain that
Barnum was right, and therefore
give a street parade daily. Do not
miss the grand pageant which will
wind it's way through the center of
the town just as the noon hour ap-
proaches on circus day. Then, too,
there will be the usual free exhibit
tions on the show grounds at 1 P.
M. The doors to the afternoon per-
formance will open at 1.30 and the
evening performance at 7.S0. Mr..
Downie has this season made the
price of admission within the reach
of both young and old, and the price
of pre-war days will be charged to
see this mammoth enterprise-25
and so cents. All of the wild animal
dens will be open in the noon street
parade. Lions, tigers, polar bears,
pumas and leopaFds will all cast
their eyes on thousands who stand
along the line of march.

mon share of the present stock will
receive the regular quarterly dividend
of $3.50, an extra cash dividend of $3.50
and his annual dividend hereafter will
be $3.50 instead of SIS.

NEW YORK, November 9.-Just a

passengers on the incoming United

spend the night aboard when strong
ebb tide forced the biggest liner af1oat

Commodore H A. Cunningham had

strong tide swung her stern against the
adjoining pier and it was considered TOO
hazardous to move her until the tide
turned. The presence OF another inner

The passengers, tired of the long wait
down the bay, where the Leviathan
rode out strong wind, clamored to be
put ashore, but the commodore con-

Sergt. Arthur c. Devlin of the Sd

For years he was stationed in India,
fighting in Afghanistan and other re-
mote regions. Next he was detailed to
Egypt and went through the entire
country with the British forces.
At the outbreak Of the World War the
young private was sent to France. He
served on nearly every front during
the succeeding years and was wounded
three times Once a bullet struck his
forehead and glanced off. A German
infantryman stuck a bayonet through
his hand for the second, and the third
came from flying Shrapnel.
These wounds, however. did not keep
him out of action. II think soldier

As the war strung on, Devlin was
promoted through successive ranks. He
won decoration for carrying ammuni-

the armistice was signed he held the
rank OF captain.

During the war he met number Of
Americans and came to the conclusion

from the bank and embarked for
America
He had a grand time for two years,
seeing all the sights and visiting every
place worth visiting. The $4,000 did
not last long however. and in 1928 he
found himself in Washington with an
empty pocketbook. In this emergency
his mind turned back To his old pro-
