Counties Should

State Budget Director Leo j..
Nowicki said today he believed
the state government is ap-
preaching the point where it
must "begin slowly to with

Nowicki declared the state

security programs and should
not be expected to continue car
rying a heavy relief load.

That gives you an idea Of the
revolution that must have taken
place in the room where the
Board Of Governors Of the Stock
Exchange came to its. decision to
offer Its top Job to this 48-year-
cid farmer who, is-still part, own

view. Ill. (pop. S00). about 80
miles north of st. Louis.
He didn't even know any of
the members Of the committee
that came down to Washington
to give him the bid. He didn't
know they were going to ask
him. He doesn't know who sug-
gested his name and he doesn't
want to.
General suspicion was that
Jesse Jones, Secretary of Com
merce and former Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation chair
man, made the nomination, but
Jones denies this. He was, as a
matter of fact, recommending q
couple of other fellows who
didn't get the job.
The worthy Exchange commit
tee, however, didn't pick the
good name of Schram out of q

exactly what they were getting
and that's why they picked him,

whom they thought could worth

would be getting someone who
would act as q fixer with the

because of his eight years In high
government office, might come
down and make the Securities

He didn't want the Job on the
basis of the way the Exchange
was organized at present, either.
There was, It seemed, too much

There have been r-Imors in

the government because he Is

much having to play off-ox to
Jesse Jones's lead. Openly,

Talking about these things
with Schram, you get the idea
that all problems reduce them
selves in his mind to the simple
terms of a farmer. You have to
have good tenants and good
managers, or everything will go
to weeds. Maybe there are weeds
growing in Wall Street, along

grad d from Peru High

bookkeeper for J. O. Cole of
Peru, who still runs an Angus
cattle stock farm near there. In
1915, Cole sent Schram out to
Hillview to run the Hartwell
place. There was q big problem
of drainage and Illinois river
flood control. Schram tackled It,
did a little battling for the farm
er's rights before the Illinois
state legislature. He became an
authority on drainage, put his
farm on a paying basis, and from
there came to Washington In
1888 as head of the RFC Drain

Her Circus Role Is Being the Boss Wife
Bv GIadwin Hill.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 5.-Against
background of the circus big top,
with blaring bands and excited crowds,
a tall, svelte girl in riding clothes, with
wavy chestnut hair and dark capti-
waiting eyes, saunters across the wagon
furroWed lot.
In all the confusion, she catches the
eve-with the same electric eye-catch-
ing qualities that few years ago were
attracting attention in the swank ave-
nues and salons of Paris and on the
French silver screen.
Today, circus-lot spectators wonder
who she is and what she does in the
show. They never see her in the show,
and the chances are that their curiosity
goes unrequited. Because Germaine
Aussey's lob" in the circus is even more
unusual than being performer. She's
the boss wife.
A year ago she gave up flourishlng
career as a movie actress in France to
become the bride of John Ringing
North, the 3S-year-old president of
Ringing Bros -Barnum & Bailey Circus.
They met on a Christmas eve at Max
inns famous restaurant in Paris when
North was on talent-scouting trip. 1t
was love at first sight.
Falling in love with a circus proprie-
tor, she discovered, is something else
again. It's just the opposite of the
sailors girl-in-every-p port situation. You
keep the same sweetheart, but you're in
a different port every day.

Late in the afternoon she either goes
up to the circus lot. after the matinee
is over, for horseback ride, or goes
back to the Jomar and makes another
game out of guessing whether "Johneee"
is going to show up at 7, 8 or for
dinner. For this contingency, she has
developed a foolproof set Of mashed.
potato-less menus, with things that
either can stay on the stove until dinner
is ready, or can be cooked after John
and his brother appear.
Every few weeks Germaine spends Q
few days away from the circus visiting
friends. during which North bombards
her with kilograms and phone calls to
come back.
Her ace in the hole, when he gets
fractions, is threat to go out for
couple of months to Hollywood and do

In December, when the circus gets
back to winter quarters in Sarasota,
Fla, the Norths move out OF the private

Their peripatetic love nest, their home
for eight months year, is a private
Car named the "Jomar" attached to one
of the four sections of the circus train.
Reputedly the biggest private car ever
made, half again as long as an ordi-
nary Pullman, it was built by the late
John Ringing, North's uncle, at cost
of 100000, and named after him and
his wife, Mable.
1t contains, reading from rear to front,
a living room outfitted with modernistic,
natural-finish-wood furnishings: a row
of Staterooms, including full-sized
bathroom; small dining alcove adorned
with mural painting of Lady Godiva
that is rather startling along with prunes
and cereal about am. a shower BATH
and a big kitchen and crews quarters
The household on the car regularly
consists of Germaine, her husband, his
brother, Henry Ringing North, vice
president of the circus (whose wife stays
at home in Sarasota, Fla, raising their
baby; occasional guests. and a negro
butler and chef.
Life on the Jomar is like an exceed
ingly erratic trip on any Pullman, with
a few additional comforts and con-
veniences Of home and corresponding
disadvantages.
The car is subject to sudden unpre-
dictable lurches at all hours Of the day
and night as it is bumped unceremo-
niously around railroad yards and sid
ings. The mortality in drinking glasses
vases and bruises is terrific. In the
midst of washing your hands, the BASIN
full of water is like as not to land in
your face or your lap.
The front yard is always a cinder
path on the railroad tracks, usually a
mile or so from civilization-an incon-
venience reckoned with by the constant
presence of a car chauffeured by a
saturnine eX-marine named Freddie
Bartlett who has an uncanny knowledge
Of every back street in the land and
psychic means of keeping posted on
where the Jomar has been shifted in
the last 10 minutes and how to get to
that particular siding.
The greatest of Germaine's domestic
complications arises from the fact that
North, youthful, stocky, genial i'm
presario, inherited his uncle's penchant
for odd living habits.
John Ringing liked to stay up all
night and for years North was his pro-
testing companion and now is frankly
out to get revenge by staying up all
night himself.
He never gets up before noon, spends
an hour and a half in,a combination
process of bathing, getting dressed, sip
ping fruit juice and reading the papers
emerging intermittently in his under

there. There they sWeltered and de-
nounced the managers of the race for
not starting on time. There was never
race in this country witnessed by more
people than the contest this evening
attracted to the banks of the Potomac.
AS general rule, the stores began to
close at o'clock. All department clerks
who wanted to witness the race were
allowed to leave after II or l o'clock.
Nearly all OF them left.
Shortly before the race, Referee
Blaikie went over the course. Every
flag is in position exactly; everything
is all right! I'm perfectly satisfied he
said. The postponement of the race
was disappointment to the many who
were not cognizant Of it. They were
on hand in time, and ahead of time.

that most Of those assembled there at

When the referees boat started from

the no-less-crowded Long Bridge be-
