Take Action.

Mai. Ernest w. Brown, super1ntend-

criticized last night by citE ems asso-
Citations of the District.
The Lincoln Park Citizens Associa-
ton commended the chief as 'an out
standing administrative officer" and
particularly praised his work in organ
izing the police boys clubs.
At the meeting of the West End
Citizens Association, representing an
area where Brown was once a patrol
man. a similar resolution was pro-
posed. but because of his role in the
so-called "gentlemen's agreement" to
supplant Assistant Supt. T. B. Bean
with Inspector Albert j. Headley, the
proposal was tabled.
J. T. Albers, chairman of the Police
and Fire Committee of the Lincoln
Park organization, declared that Brown
has won the admiration of all the
citizens Of the District" through his
efficient handling of the Police De-
partment.

who proposed the commendatory reso-
luton at West End, made similar
declaration, but the organization de-
clined to vote confidence in the police

CIRCUS THRILLED.
BY TRAPF:zE GIRL
Hearts Pause as Performer,
"CharIeyhorse" Victim,
Misses Connections.

Thousands of hearts Of young and
thousands of pairs of eyes focused on
the daring young girl on the flying
trapeZe.
Pop bottles, unwittingly tipped by
lerve-taut hands. spilled their contents
between the seats. Peanuts en- route
from bag to mouth halted in midair.
Thirty thousand throats chorused
frightened groan.
The daring young lady-"the only
lady in the world ever to do two
ing perch to flying CATCH" the ring
master had avoWed-had flung her
self through the air with the greatest
of ease-but her partners frantic fin
gers had missed their mark.
Once. twice and then half turn
more she had spun her shapely body
through space toward that swinging
bar high up in the Ringing Bros.
big top yesterday afternoon.
Bar Eludes Grasp.
Her feet had just eluded his grasp,
however. and. while the huge crowd
gasped, she plummeted down, down
to a graceful landing in the safety net
spread beneath her.
Applause swept the arena as she
shook herself, waved to the throng
and climbed to the dizzy trapeze to
try it again.
Again she missed.
There were those who smiled know
lngly and explained to their compan-
ions that the daring young girl was
just having her fun with the crowd.
Her friends of the circus knew the
truth, however. Missing that catch
was not part of the regular act. Ger
tainly there must be something wrong
if she missed it twice.
There was something wrong. Her
friends disclosed that yesterday aft
ernoon she was trying the two-and-a-
half for the first time since receiving
a "charleyhorse," or !igament strain,
some time ago.
Successful at Night.
The little lady was game, however.
Last night she tried her mid-air spin
again-and made it.
Such are the thrills that go to make
up "the biggest show on earth," than
which, of course, the circus press
agent swears there can be no bigger.
Perhaps the most spectacular thrill
of all, however, was the repeating
cannon, which fired two human bullets
across the tent into a net. The
bullets were the Brothers zacchini,
self-styled human projectiles," who
allow themselves to be shot through
space by compressed air.
A few weeks ago crowds in Madison
Square Garden received fright
almost equal to that of Brother Hugo
when something went wrong with the
compressed air and he was imprisoned
in the barrel under high pressure for
five or six minutes.
They had to take me home"
grinned the German. "She stuck with
me, our big cannon. Always, think
before we go in there-I don't want
our cannon to stick!''
