During the past few days some
1856 campers ct the local Y. M. o. A..
camp have been preparing for the
annual camp circus. The show will
take place at the camp on Saturday

An experienced acrobatic coach Is
training about 80 boys for work in
the center ring, while many others
are perfecting their performances
as magicians, clowns, fortune tell
ers, strong men and bankers. One Of
the great features OF the day will be
the wild animal act.
Qrandgtands have been erected
and the parents and friends Of ell
boys who have ben ct the camp ct

the show. A camp rule prevents
boys who have not bean there for

INTERNAL STRIFE AGAIN
Conflict Immediately broke QUE
between the "Carlists," who wants
cd Ferdinand's brother Don Car
los 10 succeed to the throne, and
the "Christinos," who favored o
regency by Christina for Terdi-
nand'g daughter Isabella II. Saw
age warfare again swept the
Peninsula for six years and In its
course the snonaStic orders were
suppressed, and their properties
confisticated. Isabella, with foreign
old, prevailed.
In the 1e60's, radical and mod
crates united against absolutiSE1i,
and the forerunner Of today's party
lines was laid down. Through the
cos, these liberal parties grew In
power, and In 1873 o republic was
set UP. Isabella was driven out, res
liglous orders abolished, and toleraa
ton decyeed.
But q military coup much like
that being attempted today brokO

Of Isabella, Alphonso XII, was
declared king. Religious toleraa
ton was immediately greatly roa.

ANARcMTsM DEVELOPS
In the O0s, with trial by jury
only Just established and the be-
ginnings Of liberalism appearing,
anarchisrn began 10 develop In
Spain. II continues today 10 some
extent. Catalonia was shaken by
strikes, and repreSsIve measures
were adopted against the .anarch-
lists.
In the midst Of this internal tur-
moil, ranging from demands for
liberalization Of the constitution 10
bread riots by the people and
bombings by anarchists, trouble
was brewing overseas.
Cuba was stirring with revolt,
which the abolition Of slavery IN
1880 did not abate. Belated ef-
forts OF reform In Cuba failed to
pacify the country. In 1905 the
United States asked Spain to
recognize the independence Of

"The Greer, Table" that most

night at $50 o'clock.
Because of its anti-war theme
and the marked originality of it's
treatment which has been gener'

step forward into a vital, yet new
field, beyond the type of dance
program developed by Diaghileff.

JooS dancers in the foreground OF

Kurt JooS. the young leader OF
the group, who is of Danish ex-
traction. has built a company Of
"a young dancers who have been
as thoroughly trained in the art
of acting as in the art of dancing.
They do not sacrifice any of the
technicalitieS of the dance art yet
add much depth Of characterize

matte effectiveness Of their inter
