BARNEY BROS. CIRCUS
HERE MARCH Il.

The psychology of the circus Is
really simple. Our appeal is to the
elemental instincts, to the child that
is in every man. What they call "the
lure of the circus" is merely the
great unexpressed yearning of every
human being to be young again. The
circus is a drop of water from
Ponce de Icons spring. 1t takes
people back to childhood for two
hours and makes them boys and
girls again, makes them forget as
nothing else will This fact ac-
counts for many seemingly con;ra-
dictory features of the circus.
A man or a woman enjoys
circus because the child enjoys it
Their great pleasure is in giving
pleasure to others. This year Bar
ney Bros. Circus is three times it's
former size end the performance OF
a high order especially interesting
because of the speedy action. It ic
said in the Bible that the lion and
lamb shall lie down together. IN
the enclosed arena Capt. John HUff-
man brings to the audience just
such a scene. In fact a leopard,
dog, goat, sheep and bear all five
perform in the same arena.
BY special arrangement with tho
Barney Bros. Circus, and through
the cooperation of the merchants OF
Coolidge, it has been made possible
for you to attend this circus for &c
for children and 35c for adults, in
stead of soc for children and 75c for
adults which is the regular price of
the tickets if you buy them Mt the
circus ticket wagon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 81

Iron Ore in It's Native
State Found In Meteors

The first use of iron ore by man
probably came from small deposits
Of native iron ore found In meteors.
Only in meteors is iron found In its
native state, writes Dale Cox In the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Admiral
Peary, on some Of his expeditions,
found Eskimos pounding native iron
ore out Of meteoric deposits, and
fashioning tools and hunting nipple
ments out Of it. The only known
stable deposit Of native iron is in
Greenland, too far away from the
Industrial world to be of any value.
Lead seems to have been discov-
cred by man as a byproduct Of his
search for silver, in much the same
way that copper was discovered in
bis search for gold. Lead rarely
occurs in its native state, but Is
often found in conjunction with sill
yer ores.
Zinc, a metal very similar to lead
and widely used in industry, was
not discovered until long afterward.
It has never been found in its native
state, and was not perfected for so
long because Of the difficulty in its
smelling. Zinc ore, in smelling, has
to be melted to vapor or frme and
then condensed. Hence, primitive
metal workers never came close to
discovering zinc. Brass, an alloy OF
copper and zinc, naturally did not
exist in the ancient world, although
a few samples have been found in
a few historic remains. Such few
samples as have been found are be-
neved to be pure accidents, mas
much as there was no general trace
Of knowledge in the ancient world
Of how to smelt zinc or use It.

Parchment Resulted From
Boycott 1900 Years Age

Discovery and development Of
parchment resulted from a boycott
declared more than 1,700 years ago
by a Pharaoh against Pergamum
in Asia Minor.
The chief thing Pergamum was
not able to obtain because Of that
boycott was papyrus, states the
Pleasures Of Publishing. That SEEM
ed a great loss at the time and It
was as much Of a loss to them as
being deprived entirely Of paper
would be to us. But as things turned
out, it was great blessing to hui
mainly, for necessity being the
mother of invention, the ingenious
souls Of Pergamum turned to and
developed parchment.
The important thing was this: The
papyrus which they had previously
been using was probably the most
fragile and inpermanent material
man has ever used as a writing
material, while the parchment
which they introduced proved to be
the best, the most permanent, the
most indestructible, and all in all
the most satisfa Glory writing surface
ever discovered.
Parchment is usually made Of
sheepskin or lambskin. And vellum,
which most people think Of as being
synonymous with parchment, differs
in that it is customarily Of calfskin.
One of the oldest Biblical texts we
have is done on antelope skin; had
it been done on papyrus, it would
probably have come to us in trag-
ments, if at all.

Where Milk Comes From

Civilized man obtains most Of his
milk from cows, but in some parts
Of the world other domestic animals
are used. The Laplander gets his
milk from reindeer, the Tibetan Of
the high Himalayas from yaks, the
rowing Tartar from mares, and the
Bedouin of the desert from camels.
In the temperate regions many
pastoral tribes subsist on the milk
Of sheep and goats, while those in
hot countries milk the buffalo. The
milk Of all these animals, states a
writer in the Washington Post, in
tended by nature as nourishment
for their young, contains practically
the same ingredients, but in varying
proportions. Ordinary cows milk is
81 per cent water, per cent fat, 5
per cent lactose and 8 per cent cas-
Elm. It is also rich in vitamins,
iron, phosphorus and calcium.

PaIaminO Horse

The Palamino is a horse whose
ancestry was principally Of Ara
bian stock. The particular type Of
Palamino found in the state Of Cal
ifornia is said to be a direct ineal
descendant of the famous mounts
used by the early Spanish conquis-
tadors. The word Palamino Is de-
rived from the Spanish, and means a
yellow" or "cream-colored" horse.
The Palamino is famed for its en-
durance, intelligence, and the easy
jog or Spanish trot," which gives it
considerable ground-covering abii-
ty. The primary use Of the Palamino
horse is for stock and show pur.

provides pressure for pumping
water from the tender into the
boiler, but when the freight
ing apparatus is in action most
of the water is diverted into the
fire-hose.
A stream of water can be
thrown sixty feet at the rate of
100 gallons a minute. The
tender on each locomotive has
a capacity Of from 5000 to
10000 gallons of water, SO that
under ordinary conditions the
supply will last at least an
hour.
Engine and train crews have
learned how to handle the new
equipment. Upon reaching a
blaze these volunteer freight
ers remove the hose from the
reel, attach it to the branch
pipe from the pump and open
the valve. A member of the
engine crew directs the stream
toward the fire. Fire-hose and
MOBILES are kept in good condi-
ton, and there Is regular in
spection each month to make
sure that the equipment will be
ready for service when needed.

EARNING IN THE PROFESSIONS

Young people have been told the professions are over
crowded and underpaid SO much today that the words have
become mere catch phrases. .trite from repetition.
Now comes Prof. Harold F. Clark, of Columbia University
to tell us that money CAN be made in the professions, "a fact
that we suspected all along).
DR.. Clark made a study Of 16 occupations. He found that
medicine paid best, that farm labor paid the least.
Average life working spans and incomes are given by
DR.. Clark as: Medicine, AZ years, 100000; law, 43, sos 1000;
dentistry. As, $95,4oo; engineering, 43, $4,000; architecture,
43, $4,000; college teaching, A, $69y 800; social work, As, $751;
600; journalism, As, $41y5OO; ministry, "A, 81, 900; library
work, 46, $4,000; public school teaching, As, 500, 700; skilled
trades, A, $28,600; nursing, 40, So, 800: unskiled labor, A,
$4,000; farming, $l2y5O0, and farm labor, 81, 10000.
Close examination may prove the professors. figures a
little inaccurate but for the most part we suspect they are
correct.
A person $ earning power is usually based on his interest
in his profession, his preparation and his ~capability for it. And
usually the professional man and woman is engaged in their
particular field because of their innate interest in it and not
from any paticular desire for personal gain.
If the professional should happen to receive a goodly
share of worldly goods as well as serve his profession then
we would say he has done his task well and reaped a just re-
ward and his efforts might well inspire others to follow in
his footsteps.

LOST AT SEA-" FITTING EPITAPH

'Lost At Sea- is the epitaph of America most color
full woman filler and her flying navigator, Fred j. Noonan.
Two more names are added to the long list Of casualties since
Charles A. Lindbergh first spanned the ocean in 1927.
Miss Earhart blazed the way for women in aviation. For
that she deserves a place in history. She was the first woman
to cross the Atlantic in an airplane.
She was a teacher and did social work in Massachusetts
until 1927 when she became interested in aviation and in
company with several others made her first transoceanic
flight from Newfoundland to Wales. In 1882 she made a solo
flight across the Atlantic and in 1885 flew the Pacific, alone,
from Honolulu to California. She was the first woman to
make both flights unaccompanied.
This lady Of the air lanes had a keen, vital interest in
flying and courage enough to back it up. Her accomplish
ments may not mean SO much materially to the world but she
has opened up the field Of aviation to women perhaps more
than any other person.
There are those who will say she should have stayed
home and taken care of her husband.
George palmer Putnam, whom she married in 1881, said:
IF she is dead, it is the way she would have preferred to 60,
surrounded by mystery and romance"
If he is satisfied the least the world can do is bow in
assent.
