There is one institution that does not change.
Each year when the green boughs burst into pink and
white riot Of Towering blossoms, and the roads grow
dusty under the warming sun. the circus starts across
the country, with a caravan Of dreams wrapped up
In the folds Of the white tent.
True, the gypsies have forsaken the wind blown,
ran faded wagons that followed the Romany trails
once upon a time, and adopted modern motor cars.
AS the years 60 by, fewer and fewer railroad trains
are putting into the open station or giving us the
lonely ecstatic JOY Of watching them as they swing
around the silver-blue rails, bound for adventure.
Trains slide into great terminal stations as systemati-
cally and automatically as an elevator goes up and
down an office building.
But every year when the wandering breezes blow,
the circus comes back. again. The wanderlust creeps
into the hearts Of old men and little boys. The urge
to follow a singing road. eyes on star Of adventure
that swings above the white top. takes possession.
There is a magic in the odor OF roasting peanuts and
saw dust rings; in the wet, sweet smell Of summer
grass when the dew falls thick at night; in the calls
OF the animals; in the crimson sheen OF a dress at
the top Of the tent where q trapeze performer flrts
with death and the thrill OF youth.
Somehow, there is something very young about q
circus. 1t has never learned the boredom Of a sta
tionary world.
Little boys love it because 1t is a living page from
the adventure book that lies opened in every normal,
nealLny youngsters heart. They love II, because II
makes them remember the little boys whom they used
to be-the barefoot. bashful, eager youngsters who
were going to Africa to shoot lions some day; to Al
aska to search for vanished gold: at least, to the west
ern plains to be a cowboy. And who probably punch
time clocks every morning.
1t is to be hoped that the circus Will never Danish
down the trail where SO many other lovely, colorful
institutions have joined q wistful waiting ground.
After all, the dreams Of what We are going to do,
fha CcId-tCu~hnI VscfDr that ~v5-~- l1-. g.. 49,.
sky when we are very young. and the memory Of
what we might have done, are among the most beau
tiful things in life. Without them probably the cup
board would be just as full. But our hearts would be
strangely bare.
We have a right TO a heritage Of such dreams. The
circus. with its breath Of strange adventure. tinged
with the odor Of fresh saw dust and buttered popcorn,
is needed to make the heart Of children and men and
women beat along in the same joyous symphony for
a little while.

Senator Moore in a Rum Off

Sen. Joseph Moore. in the 10th senatorial district
Including Collin, Rains. Hunt and Rockwall counties.
viii face VIII A. Harris Of Hunt county in the August
run-off. Harris gained 12 votes on the recount. A
previous count had given S. <. Barnet Of Greenville
q place in the run-off by % votes, but the new count
gave Harris second place by three votes. It was a
close shave for Harris. Sen. Moore is a newspaper
editor and publisher. He has a long record as a
Texas legislative servant. Now he has a real fight
on his hands.

Eva hooked 1t him. looked him

Of. But there were hundreds Of

Rorimer laughed. That's foolish

Before the mad rush for talking
