mum and Bailey had an elephant
named 10, a big bull. For two
years they could do nothing with
him, had to keep him always in
chains.
10 is Good, Now
They sent him to Cheerful"
Now 10 stands in the line with
the other elephants and does his
act as smoothly as the rest.
Cheerful" says he is not vicious
just dumb and flighty.
Elephants need a lot Of care,
Their toenails must be mani
cured. They like water and are
frequently hosed down. Every
spring they get a thorough rub
down with heats foot oil. Con
trary to common opinion, their
skins are sensitive. They even
suffer from mosquito bites. Cir
cuses avoid raising young ele
plants because when a baby is
born, every elephant think it is
the youngsters mother, causing
gargantuan confusion.

for this circus. There are II
sleek animals in the cage. The
best one is Black Beauty, but
Fanny is bright and so are

Every day each seal gets about
ten pounds of raw fish. Mr.

Balancing Hardest
Two or three times a week
he puts salt in the water. These
seals come from California, SC
they cannot stand very cold
weather. The hardest thing tc
make them do is balance the ball
Once that is accomplished, the
tight rope and other tricks are
easy It takes a seal about a
year to get a good balance. When
they weave their long necks, il
is a sign of nervousness. Some
do it just before their act goes
on, but one and all. they love
the show game.
For IL years Rudy Rudinoft
has been in charge of all the
circus horses. He says it takes
a year to a year and a half to
train the average horse. Theirs

muller in the acts which de
manded the skill and knowledge
of a "bull man." He was the
one the elephant carried in his

Elephants Work Hard
When the tents are being put
up and taken down and when
the wagons are being replaced
after a parade, the elephants do
their hardest work. Yesterday,
Lizzie and Fiddler and Blanche
were wheeling and pushing great
carts through the deep mud
Without word from the men
who were handling them, they
would place their great heads
against a van and shove 1t
through the mud. Then, STEP
ping delicately over the iron
traces, they would pull and
wheel it into place.
Lizzie is the elephant, so the
story goes, that saved "Cheer-
ful's" life one night in Peru, Ind,
where the circus has its winter
quarters. He was asleep on a
bale of straw and Lizzie. who
was roaming loose was standing
beside him, nibbling at the hay
and shifting on her feet. One Of

and came for the sleeping figure.
Lizzie, without hesitation, killed
the tiger.

The President, aboard Vincent

Of the greatest yachting thrills OF
his lifetime when he watched
Great Britain's Endeavour defeat
the American yacht Rainbow. The

yachting. He has seldom enjoyed
anything so much as he has this

around President Roosevelt'S

whether another recruit in Huey
P. Longs growing school OF

They were to choose between
Hubert D. Stephens, bluestocking

Senator, and the dynamic Theo.

Mississippians ever have twice
elected governor, whose liberal
platform is virtual duplicate of

Both candidates have waged a
logged fight for the New Deal
vote, but in contrast to Mr..
Stephens flat declaration that
my sole platform is to stand by
the President and his program
with all that if embraces" Mr..
Bilbo promises to support the re-
covery program only 80 long as
the various measures and agencies
employed appear to be affording
a justifiable measure of relief"

URGES POLICY

Local Officials Accused of
Failure in Their Duty
Toward Industry

International News Service
Secretary of the Interior Ickes.
oil administrator, today told a
House interstate commerce sub
committee that the Federal oil
administration must be given
power to force States to obey its
orders.
He emphasized this propoc 1
for new oil legislation when Repre-
sentative Mapes (R.) of Michigan,
pointed out that the Democratic
State convention in Texas adopted
o resolution opposing Federal
control within the State. Mr..
1ckeS said:
"The Administration must be
given power to go into Texas
or any other State to make
them obey orders whether they
want to or not.
II don't want the response
bility unless I am given the
power"
Mr.. Ickes said this reserve
power probably would not have
to be used. without naming any
State, he asserted that State Off
Gals do not always do their duty
in controlling oil and "some of
them even have an interest in
not doing it,"
"Hot OH Still Sold
He said "hot oil'' was still be-
ing bootlegged despite Federal
regulation. The oil administra-
ton, he said, opposes price-fixing
except as a last resort.
Warning of the danger Of
exhaustion of the Nations oil
supply, Secretary Ickes urged
adoption of a permanent oil
conservation policy. He said:
estate laws and voluntary
agreements are not of them
selves sufficient to safeguard
the Nations oil reserve"
Mr.. Ickes defended the oil code,
and asserted that the industry
has been stabilized.
The United States is using up
its oil reserve three times as fast
as the rest Of the world, with the
result that the United States will
first feel an oil shortage, he said.
He added:
''When that time comes, we
will be made to pay for our
waste and extravaganza with
respect to our own oil re-
sources"
National defense and industry
would suffer, and the United
States would pay exorbitant
prices for foreign oils, he said.
Joint Committee Urged
Joint action between States and
the Federal Government was
urged, with each assuming certain
responsibilities. The Federal Gov
eminent, he said, should be given
power to designate state commit
tees which would be authorized to
make q decision on oil protection
within the States.
He also urged point Federal and
State hearings to determine drill
ing and development operations.
Federal control Of imports of
oil is necessary Mr.. 1ckes said.
He added:
american oil companies Oper-
ating in foreign countries should
receive such consideration as is
compatible with the interests of
domestic producers"
Mr.. Ickes said his experience
did not warrant "the recommends
ton of any provision relative to
the retail selling of petroleum
products" nor did he have any
suggestion for the control of
pipe lines.

Political Backfire

One Of the most pronounced of
current political phenomena has been
the popularity Of the slogan. soak
the rich" It Is natural that those
who have little should seek to trans
fer the burden Of taxation to those
more able to bear 1t. In many ways
the theory Is sound, since ability to
pay must precede actual payment.
But that adherence TO the slogan
sometimes brings strange results Is
demonstrated by statistics on auto
mobile taxation.
The number Of automobiles still Is
sufficiently large to put our entire
population on wheels at one time
though some Of the wheels are In
poor condition-and the assumption
has been that anyone who could az
ford q car could afford to pay.
Thus We have special state and fed
eral taxes on motor vehicles and
their operation which, in 1888. aver
aged $sl29 per automobile for the
country q . whole. This figure is
$7.o5 moro than the average for 1882.
The increase is directly traceable to
the soak the rich" demand. for
other taxes have gone down, income

To many persons an automobile Is
