Stellar Circus Man Likes His Cots

again until it becomes habit. The
collars stay around the necks of the
cats that Mr.. Jacobs doesn't trust.
He has dozens of scars on his
body, mementos of 10 years in the
arena. During winter training this
year he was attacked by a lion,
King. This cat is his best perform
er-he walks tight rope-and Mr.
Jacobs approaches King each per-
formance with the comforting
knowledge that he is a mean beast
and is going to try little murder
next chance he gets.
1.-The worst attack on me was
about two years ago in training
quarters at Peru, Ind. I had a new
lion named Sparky and had him in
the cage with two others, Pat and
Togo.
"Sparky jumped me from up
above and knocked me to the
ground. He bit me on the leg. AS
I fell threw my hand up to pro-
tect my face. He grabbed my arm.
Just then, Pat left his perch and
went for Sparky. Pat, an older
lion, had been jealous of Sparky.
Togo got in the battle, too, and

ing lions. got out of it and then
had to make Pat and Togo let
Sparky alone. Then I went to the
hospital for seven weeks. I always
gave Pat credit for saving my life"
From the dressing room came the
voice of Mrs. Dolly Jacobs, the
trainers wife.
HE wasn't trying to help you. He
just wanted to save you for him.

Maybe. Because since then, Pat
has tried to chew me up two or
three times"
The greatest danger in the busi-
ness Is from infection. The cats
claws and teeth are laden with
deadly germs. Twice a year Mr..
and Mrs. Jacobs have to take anti
tetanus injections.
Lions and tigers hate each other
and Mr.. Jacobs has to protect not
only himself, but the beasts from
each other. The lion is undoubt-
edly the king of beasts, he says, and
can bowl over tigers three at time
His best performers are two ami
NAL freaks. King, the rope walker,
has feet with double thick cushions
Sheba, the only lioness in the world
which can roll over, can do this be-
cause of an abnormal vertebrae.
He never runs away from the
animals, but stands his ground
when they attack him, armed with
such formidable weapons as a chair
and broomstick.

Terrell Jacobs enjoys an aWesome
immunity from life insurance sales
men. Mr. Jacobs carries no life in
surance. This is because no one will
sell him any.
Actuaries reckon his life expect
ancy at something like "a hours
from any given moment and insur-
ance statesmen give him wider berth
than they do a funeral procession.
Mr. Jacobs, twice a day, finds
himself locked in cage with up
wards of 40 lions and tigers, all OF
which sit by eyeing him apprais-
ingly, conjuring up dreams of
Jacobs with salt and pepper, Jacobs
fricasseed, Jacobs with Hollandaise
sauce and Jacobs plain.
These little get-togethers are con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
Ringing Brothers, Barnum &
Bailey Circus, which remains today
and tomorrow at Twenty-first and
c streets NE.
The Jacobs lion act is the most
spectacular the show ever has pre-
sented. 1t is spectacular because
no one is ever quite sure whether
Mr.. Jacobs is coming out in one
piece or in several. He has come
out of the cage both ways.
There are lot of citizens in this
country who are willing to get in
a cage with the big cats and as a
result the public has come to as
sumo that the animals are either
old, tame, lazy, or just not hungry
Hungry-and Crafty.
This is not true of the Jacobs act
The animals are young. They are
wild and spirited. They are hungry
Furthermore, they are mean and
crafty. They hate Mr.. Jacobs-al-
most as much as they fear him
His is no setup performance and
when this is borne in mind it be-
comes a fascinating experience to
watch this man assert his will over
that of tWoscore beasts, any one OF
which could convert him into
grade A hamburger in 30 seconds.
II wouldn't trust one of them,'
he says. They'd kill me the min
ute they got the chance"
For his act, Mr.. Jacobs takes only
young, jungle-born cats. They must
be at least years old and when
they reach the age of IL he is
through with them. A jungle-borr
cat costs about $500.
"The jungle-born animals are
tough. They are really mean and
that's the way want them. A cat
born in captivity gets so used to
being ordered around by people and
develops an attitude of Let's see
you make me do it, You get in
trouble then"
Obedience is Easier.
The cats obey him because they
find that life is much easier that
way. When he gets in the cage
with a new beast, the animal learns
soon that there are only two things
to do-kill the man or obey him
They find that he is too smart to
be killed and so they obey.
A collar, to which a chain is at
tached, is put around the cats neck

Balancing Of Aid

Dependent Children
Welfare Agencies
Hear Comparison With
OId-Aee Pensions

Discrepancies between the amount
Of assistance given old-age groups
and that provided dependent chill
dren must be balanced" DR.. c. C.
Carstens, executive director of the
Child Welfare League Of America,
told representatives of District child
welfare agencies yesterday at the
home of Mrs. Eugene Meyer.
Pointing out that old-age assist
ance is much larger than that
provided dependent children, Dr..
Carsten said, I'm States with
old-age security plans approved
by the Social Security Board, total
of 100000 persons received aid
amounting to $35, 5,248,821 last Feb
ruary. On the other hand. 663 900
children received only $8,862, $40 in
the same period.
DR.. Carstens warned that he did
not mean to disparage old-age as
sistance but merely wished to see
better balanced program in deal
ing with the problem Of children
versus old age"
Mrs. Gutenberg Cites Need.
Another speaker, Mrs. Louis Ot-
tenberg, president of the Voteless
District of Columbia League of
Women Voters, stressed the need
for an additional $4,000 to the
District appropriation for moderni-
zation of its child welfare program
and urged the group to lend its
support for such program.
when yearly appropriations of
between 1926, 900 and $350O0O to the
Child Welfare Division produce an
unenviable record of inadequacy, it
seems logical to consider an addition
Of $4,000 sound investment when
with that addition Washington

program of child care which viii

quency, less crime, a lower prison

she explained in the report which
she presented for her group.
Other speakers on the afternoon
program included DR.. Maurice S.
Sheehy of Catholic University and
Miss Elsa Castendyck of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Labor Depart
.ment.
DR.. Sheehy, who declared that mo

in an institution" voiced a hope
for an increase in the number of
foster homes to care for dependent
children.
He pointed out that in foster
home child would get the same
care and affection he would receive
in his own home. A foster home
satisfies a child's hunger for zap
proval and recognition" needs
which an institution cannot always
supply. he explained. Finally, he
said, the foster home fulfills the
child's craving for advancement
and achievement"
Miss Castendyck assured the group
that increased public services do
not mean that they will take the
place of private agencies. On the
contrary, she said, they provide pri-
vate agencies with opportunity to
do work in specialized services
which are beyond the scope Of public
services.
Also included on the program were

sentatives attending the meeting,

Three Field Parties
To Study Potomac
For Flood Control
Two Survey Units Make
Bases at Hancock
And Green Springs

Three field survey parties have
been sent into the upper Potomac
River Valley for summers work
in connection with the 100000 War
Department flood control survey of
the river and its tributaries now
being made by the local Army en-
gineer office under direction of Col.
R. S. Thomas.
Two of the field parties have es-
tablished temporary bases at Green
Springs and Hancock Later tenn
porary base will be established at
Waynesboro, near the headwaters
of the Shenandoah River.
The three parties, probably to be
augmented later by one or more ad-
ditional parties, are engaged in a
careful checking of existing maps
and surveys and in detailed es-
tablishment of flood heights at
tanned in recent Potomac River
freshets, particularly the record
floods of the last three years.
AnacOstia Survey Advanced.
The Anacostia River Valley sur
vey, being carried on separately to
permit the earliest possible institu-
ton of flood control measures at
Bladensburg and other points, now
is far advanced. Field work has
been completed, and the results are
being evalulated in coordination
with the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and other
agencies now engaged in park and
other development work in the
valley.
The main survey, which probably
will not be completed for a year
or more, is being carried on with a
view to the recommendation of
definite and detailed flood control
projects, such as levees or channel
dredging operations. The final re-
port probably will contain estimates
of cost for all projects recommended.
Aid to Canal Park.
Results of the survey are expect
ed to be of great Importance in
connection with development of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, acquired
last year by the Federal Govern
ment for parkway and historical
purposes, and of the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway.
The survey also is expected to be
of value in the control of pollution
of the Potomac River and its tribu-
taries.

Firm Organized in 1903 Has
Seldom Changed Personnel;
Handles Lumber and Coal

In 1909 the company purchased
the Hayes-Lucas lumber company,
then located at Washington and
Fifth streets. They moved the
buildings to their present site just
east Of the office.
Sales of lumber and coal, paint,
stock salt, insulating material and
similar items make up the bulk of
their business these days. The
grain business, huge in the early
period of operation, has declined
because farmers are feeding an
increasing percentage of their
products to livestock.
That grain is still among the
company's foremost interests,
however, is indicated by the fact
that it built two new concrete silo
grain bins last fall. Each has a
capacity of 5000 bushels to bring
the total elevator capacity to A.
600 bushels.
The Farmers elevator also buys
ear corn and has a permanent
crib for the product.
Officials believe they have the
largest grain scale of any in these
parts. 1t is a 20 ton mechanism,
"a feet long. Thirty-five feet from
bumper to bumper is the longest
vehicle allowed by the state, SO
the Farmers can weigh any truck
on the highways.
The company handles IL kinds
of coal, among them Millers
Creek, Great Heart and Brisklite,
a good medium priced grade
which bears their own original
trade name.
Grass seed, Minnesota Irvine
and farm machinery, BPS exter-
ior and interior paint (the initials
stand for Best Paint Sold and Of
ficials don't think that's any exag-
geration); Ash Grove and Lehigh
cement; Insulite, Nu-Wood, Bal
sam Wool and Master Fill insulat-
ing material and 4-Square lumber
are among products sold by the
Farmers.
The 4-Square company has fur
nished the elevator Farm Build
ing service to aid farmers who
plan to build anything from a
$4,000 dwelling to chicken run.
Complete architects plans for
| all types of structures, construc-
ton directions and tables of costs
for each item of lumber required
| are included in the service, avail
able without charge at the elevat-
| or office.
Just now the elevator is CO.
operating in a contest sponsored
by the 4-Square company. For
completing the sentence, -"The a.

peals to me because" some
farmer may receive all the lum-
Der for an eight room house as

LARGE SCALE WEIGHS
MAXIMUM LENGTH
TRUCKS ALLOWED

The Redwood Falls Farmers
Elevator may not be an elderly
pioneer among business places in
the community-but it is nearing
middle-age.
In May the company will cele-
brate its thirty sixth birthday.
Even in its youth the organiza-
ton had some of the characterize
les of mature wisdom. 1t made no
drastic changes in personnel with
a consequent waste of efficiency
while new men were being train
ed.
In fact, in its entire lifetime the
Farmers Elevator has had only
two presidents. D. w. Banker, the
first head of the company, held
his position until he left the city
in 1912. Then George Phillips
was elected president and has
served in the capacity ever since
George A. Patton sold the first
building to the company and be-
came its first manager. He is
manager today, the record reveal
ing that only two other men oper-
ated the business, at times when
he was out of the state or engag-
ed in other occupations.
A. M. Dennistoun and Lewis
Lindeman have been members of
the board of directors since nearly
the beginning. Mr.. Dennistoun is
now vice president of the concern
and Mr.. Lindeman a director.
Besides these three, the present
board includes S. L. Park, secre-
tary; c. E. Goodyear, treasurer
z. w. Gold, Earl Peabody, L. O.
Bunge and Orville Huhnerkoch.
Because the office is situated ir
modern little brick building
across the highway from the
elevator, Kenneth Wheeler is {
permanent fixture at the elevator
building during the grain hauling
season and it's his job to handle
the grain during the year. Dennis
Bell is the trucker for coal, lum-
Der and other commodities SOLD
by the company and Arnold Fang
mann, the elevators latest en-
ployee, assists with the truck and
IN the office. Edna Russell is
bookkeeper.
Following a preliminary meet
ing April Is, 1903, the company
was organized and incorporated
May 2 of that year. Stock to the
extent of $4,000 was held in those
early days. Now paid up stock in
the company totals $4,000.
Nearly every year since that
early date some new improvement
has been added.
