I TNCLE SAM has only begun his building
program. In addition to the reptile house.
Congress has received Recommendations to
build a pachyderm house, a small mammal
house, wild cattle house. bear and monkey
pits and extensions on the new bird house and
the carnivore house. They will cost more than
a million dollars-but all are needed to house
and properly exhibit the zoos pres mt crowded
population.
1t is far cry from this ambitious building
program 10 the day, almost twoscore years
ago, when William Blackburne bid farewell to
circus life as keeper of the finest and largest
collection Of travelling animals the world ever
saw" and transferred his affections to a sad
looking lot" Of birds and beasts in the back
yard Of the Smithsonian Institution in WASH
ington.
He had been with the circus for 10 years
having begun his long association with animals
in captivity before 1882. the year in which
Columbia the distinction OF being the
first baby elephant ever born in the United
States ColumbiaS precedence of birth was
not her only distinction: this infant daughter
of the monStrouS ASiatic elephant Hebe pre-
cipitated the Barnum g. Bailey consolidation
and made possible the Greatest Show on
Earth" For Columbia was born in Atlantic
City in the Winter quarters of the Cooper &
Bailey CtcuS-and that Spring the Barnum
Circus was compelled to go West for business
Columbia was drawing all the Eastern circus
fans to Cooper & Bailey's show.
When the consolidation was effected, in
1883. Mr. Blackburne was retained in charge
of the animals. That year Jumbo. the big
African elephant, was purchased from the
London Zoo. The largest body of live flesh
that ever moved to the United States" Mr..
Blackburne said. and incidentally he and the
engineer and fireman of the train that cata-
pulled this 10000 pounds of flesh to instant
death were the only witnesses of the tragedy
that killed Jumbo and broke the leg of Tom
Thumb, baby elephant.
THAT was back in September, 1885. The
Barnum & Bailey circus train was load
ing across the main track of the railroad in
st. Thomas, Canada. All of the animals were
aboard except Jumbo, whose powerful strength
was used in loading. and little Tom Thumb
who always afectionately tagged after the
giant. Suddenly whistle sounded a warning
and around the bend came an unexpected
express freight. Jumbo seemed to sense his
danger With a mighty below, he lifted his
huge trunk high in the air. stretched his
enormous ears straight out and bolted-straight
down the middle of the track. At his heels
tagged Tom Thumb.

DURING the years of circus trouping that
followed. Blackburne was to experience
hundreds of other adventures-"extra thrillers''
that were never scheduled on the official pro-
grams. One of them occurred during The
Great Free Street Parade" in a Western city.
Blackburne was seated on a folding iron stool
in cage with big spotted leopard when the
parade halted for q moment During the brief
pause woman holding a small child in her
arms pressed close to the cage to let baby
see the beautiful kitty" The leopard stretched.
snarled. and the next instant it's claw tipped
paws were clut"hed on the side of the babyS
face.
Folding his s,ool he leaped Blackburne
slipped this canvas-covered iron shield between
the two faces, drawing so close together. But
he could not prevent the four razorke slashes
that appeared on each side of the child's face
for "once a leopard sets his claws" says Mr..
Blackburne. he does not let CO." The child
was saved, but disf1gured for life. The babyS
mother accepted a settlement which included
tickets to the circus, and that night the baby,
bandaged until only his fever frightened eyes
peeped out between folds of white gauze, came
to the circus
The extra thriller" in another street parade
was humorous seen in retrospection, but
when it occurred it did not impress Mr. Black
burne as being so funny.
Dressed in a Roman tunic of black and gold
with killed skirt the trainer was seated In
a cage with four lions on leash. when a terrific
storm broke. The lightning flashed and the
thunder doomed and rolled across the heavens
in a continuous deafening bombardment, while
the rain poured in torrents
One of the IONS an "amiable creature" that
had always evidenced signs of fear when it
stormed became completely terrified. Straining
and pulling at his leash with all his mighty
strength he broke his bonds and rushed to
the trainers side where he buried his head
under the Killed skirt Blackburne arose ever

The Toll Acidity Takes

You go to bed dog tired, but the
minute you hit the pillow all sleepiness
vanishes. II you do sleep at ell, it's
only in snatches and you wake out OF
these "stupors" with a strange, startled
feeling sometimes in a cold sweat.
Morning finds you rag gaunt and
hollow-eyed and barely able to crawl
out of bed
Acidity is due to unnatural eating
habits, our excessive smoking and r.
regular hours. The excess acid upsets
digestion and causes cid-indigestion
with gas and heartburn. Tt causes
putrefaction and fermentation in the
CASTRO intestinal canal which fire.
ouently results in ragged nerves,
sleeplessness, logy days and general
loss of rength and vitality.
/ A remarkable new corrective of acid
/ ity has been developed by a famous
I 1O0-year old pharmaceutical house in
I Germany. This new, improved mag

SOVIET PROFITEERS
ARE GIVEN. WARNING
Great Grain Yield Declared
Partly Held Back by
Farmers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. September 1s.-Soviet
Russias troubles with her grain har-
vests were glimpsed yesterday in an
editorial published in Pravda. official
government organ, which saws that the
years grain harvest is greater than ever
before or since the revolution, but de-
plores profiteering by officials and hold
ing back of the yield by farmers.
Note of Warming Sounded.
While the government refuses to pub
lish the exact figures, the newspaper
sounds a note of warning that the So
Wet grain collection plan is much be-
hind schedule and lays the blame to
inefficiency of state collectors, counter
revolutionary propaganda of the Ku-
laks and q tendency in some parts of
Russia of officials to raise the price of
goods given growers in exchange for
their grain.
The newspaper says that not only is
the individual farmer holding back the
crop which should go to the govern
ment, but that even the state and coll
lective farms are tagging.
The newspaper urges that all join
forces to correct their mistakes and
speedy insure fulfillment of the gov
ernment's collective plan.
All Sowing Declared Behind.
The newspaper Izvestia reports all
sowing much behind and mentions AZ
100000 hectares (ahout 100 1000, 900
acres) as the minimum area to be
planted this season. The newspaper
says, however, that only $4,000 900 hec-
tares have been planted up to September
10 and that the collective farms are
even further behind than the individ-
uals, the latter in certain regions having
planted 687 per cent of the plan, while
the collectives have planted only Is per
cent.
Izvestia blameS lack Of cooperation
and inefficiency of state organizations,
and indicates that some party officials
may be disciplined if the governments
plans are imperiled further.

 The vehicles were going cast and Rio was making left turn into 2 private road when the accident hap pened. Ramsdell told Officer ". r.

 The orchestra's S first engagement after his arrest resulted in the dis covery that instead of the $50 which Newcomb supposedly had contracted for, the promised fee ac- tually was only $50. Investigators said that similar instances had been uncovered and they now are inclin-
 cd to believe that the crst"hile banker used a sizeable portion of the $9S5,000 he is accused of haV- ing taken from the institution to make up the difference to his musi- clans between actual fees received and those he boasted of having ob- | taincd.

 Nine of the 15 members signed such a report and it was submit ted to the house yesterday. It said: By voting no, the legis- lature will give the voters the op- portunity of deciding the issue. We, therefore. believe that we should provide every agency pos siblc for the citizcnry of Massa- chusetts to record itself at the polls on this great state and na- tional problem"
 The committee has deliberated nearly two months. The report was placed first on the orders Of the day for debate Tuesday
 A minority report signed by six members, vigorously con- demned prohibition as a failure and reported in favor of the pc tition.
