Bees Help Idle Giants to Caii,,

Three times this spring he had taken
the long walk to the showers. His
heart was there, but that ailing wing
couldn't finish what it started.
So yesterday the Tigers sent him
back to Beaumont, from where he
skyrocketed to the top in 1888. They
hope the warm, sunny climate of the
Southwest may restore life and zip to

boy had come back, there's no telling
what might have happened. With Yer

have gone places.
But with Kennedy alone-and there
,snt another top flight, grade A finger
on the staff-its strictly long shot.
That was the fault yesterday. The
Tigers had shown their first consist
ent winning effort of the season when
they headed East, with their first
stop Yankee Stadium, where pitching
is the No. / need of every visiting
outfit. With. Kennedy up, they fin

But yesterday Mickey sent Poof

had it. The Yanks won both ends of
doubleheader. 5-4 with Spud
Chandler turning in a six-hit effort
and Red Rolfe whacking a homer,
and So with Monte Pearson hurling
his best game of the season. a five
hitter, and Tommy Heinrich and Billy
Knickerbocker supplying the home
run production.
That left the Tigers with a less

Riding the crest of another tri-

q Rosr people can take most circus acts in
" their stride. They can sit back calmly
0Vo mmching peanuts, sure that nothing
is going to happen to the lion tanner. And even
if fsometbing did happen, and one of the brutes
playfully decided to eviscerate his master. the
hired help standing by would still be able to
get him out in time.
It's the same with trapeze work. The acts
are pretty and are certainly hard to do. but
there is big, safe expanse of net under them,
isn't there? However. with the act we are
going to tell you about. this jaded refusal to
be thrilled simply doesn't hold. You are
scared, really scared, and wish they would
get it over with and get back to earth.
The act goes like this: first. two bicycle
riders pedal out on the wire. A pole is yoked
from the shoulders of one to the shoulders of
the other Then third member climbs up
the back of one of the bicycle men and bal
ances chair on the suspended pole. A fourth
member then climbs up the back of the bicycle
rider and then up the back of the chair sitter.
This fourth member stands on the shoulders
of the chair-sitter and the chair man stands
up too. That makes three decks in this human
pyramid It would be neat stunt even on the
ground but they are sixty feet in the air. And
there is no net under them unless the troupe
is feeling shaky and orders some roustabouts
out with little net that looks no bigger than
powder puff. They don't figure that it would
do much good. although it has helped them
couple of times. IF We come down, says one
member laoonically. 'dey iss sure to be

Karl, manager, owner and spark plug of the
way. He was fifteen when he read that small
travelling circus was looking for an ambitious
young man who could do handstands. Karl
seemed to fill the bill, so he applied.
The manager of the circus looked him over
critically. Let S see you work. he said. Karl
put his hands on the ground and his body rose
gracefully. mot there, dummy" said the cir

aged a handstand that was satisfactory.
Il vas going to work week and den scram,"
he says. But after week the work wasn't so
terrifying. He stayed on.
In 1923 3-he was eighteen at the time -
Karl decided to round up an act of his own.
He visualized high-wire act that was pretty
daring: two men with third doing hand
stand ON their heads. He would do the hand
stand if he could find couple of men to
furnish the heads. Joe Geiger, who obligingly
changed his name to Wallenda. furnished one
Brother Herman furnished the other. That
year the Wallenda name got back on posters.
They did just about everything human
being could do on narrow strand of wire:
walked on it with stills, did headstands on
it and made two-deck pyramid.
But as soon as Karl would think up some
thing new to do on the wire, other performers
would copy it. The only solution was to get
tricks others couldn't do. This meant going
higher; adding another layer to the pyramid.
Preferably, the fourth member would be light.
That seemed to indicate woman.
They advertised and got perfect results.
The youngster who applied was delicately
built, almost miraculously graceful, and very,

very pleasant to look at Her name was
Helen Kreis and she came from carnival
family She had been doing teeth work
since she was eight. To simplify the matter of
changing her name Karl married her.
With Helen incorporated into the act, it
was completely redesigned. Joe and Herman
would walk out with shoulder pole, Karl
would sit in chair balanced on that pole and
Helen would balance on his shoulders.
The act went over big and played headliner
spots in Europe. The first big triumph came
when they were booked into Berlin's Winter
garten, working over the heads of the audience.
A net kept them from falling into the stems
of Warzburger.
The Wallendas don't like the nets which
European police regulations require. They feel
that it makes them careless and the act
sloppy. They got their first chance to work
without one when they came to America.
The bicycles were added to the act during
the winter of 1884 There were imitators
of their walking pyramid by this time and
Karl decided to go the whole hog. He took
Helen, Joe and Herman to Berlin and hired
floor in vacant warehouse where they
could practice without being spied upon
Nov We show dem, said Karl.
All that winter they worked on wire

and battered from constant falls, they kept
on. Ven it works one hundred times without
happen anything, Karl promised quietly. I'VE
go upstairs. BY the spring of 1894 they were
ready. 1t was huge success.
Possibly the Wallendas are miraculously
lucky. Or miraculously skilled. In any case,
the pyramid has fallen to pieces only twice.
This happened in Akron in 1880 before
the bicycles were added. The wire slipped,
dropped them few inches and everything
crashed. Magnificent cooperation followed.
Herman and Joe the bicycle men
grabbed the wire and clung to it. Karl, whiz-
zing past, grabbed Herman's leg. Helen was
falling free, until Joe swung out, and grabbed
her with a leg scissors They hung on until

Berthn N Let0is many interest
ing statements. Before we relate
anything we want to have a few
words to say relative to members
Of the clergy in the Northwest
Never in any section Of the
country have we witnessed the
spirit of Christian cooperation
any more in evidence. Last Sun
day at the LincOln-Douglas cele-
bration at Grace Presbyterian
Church in Seattle, representatives
from many churches and den0m-
nations were on the platform,
and in the audience, the brotherly
love that exists between both
ministers and layTnen was obvious.
Things like these make one feel
they are proud to live in such a
section of the country.
While we are on the subject
of our ministers, let US take this
opportunity to thank them on
and all, for the kind cooperation
that has been ours since purchas-
ing the Enterprise on the first
of the year. Also to reiterate
previous statements, that the COL
umns of this paper are ever at
your service, and the service of
the community.
Now for the information on
canned vegetables and fruits.
In preparing canned foods for
the table there are three points
to remember One is that the
food has already been cooked dur
ing the processing in the cans.
For that reason the second cook
ing should be no longer than nee
essary. Over cooking makes some
vegetables mushy and damages
flavor.

Southern Youth
To Hold Congress

RICHMOND, VA, February, -
Mrs. Ora Stokes, the president
of the South Eeastern Section of
the National Association of Color
ed Women, joined today the grow
ing number of prominent Southern
leaders who have endorsed the
Second All-Southern Negro Youth
Conference. In her announcement,
Mrs. Stokes emphasized the need of
young Negro women coming for
ward as leaders in the defense of
Negro rights. The statement of
Mrs. Stokes said in part.
1.-THE Forthcoming All Southern
Negro Youth Conference, which
will be held in Chattanooga,
Tenn, April 1, 2, 3, 1888, VIII be,
to my mind, one of the most sig
nificant gatherings ever held any
where in the South. 1t has for
its purpose the study of the major
problems confronting the Negro
people of this country as well as
of the South. The problems to be
discussed by the various experts in
the fields that they represent Mar
riage and Home Life; Education;
Job Security; Religion, ETC., will
certainly be thought-provoking
and challenging for Negro young
people. 1t is necessary that
young people avail themselves of
the opportunity to attend this con-
ference, for the present leaders
of the race are passing away and
the young people, in orde" to as
sumo an effective leadership, must
begin now to learn about these
problems.
