After Strickland Ballard had

ing somehow to laugh, though it
was much nearer a crying mat

vague hope of fastening the
crime on Hunter. His real rea-
son was to shield poor Junior.
Because Hunters motive all
along had been pretty much the

they could get together The
trouble was that Hunter Dent
was not quite prepared to carry

During the afternoon Hunter
entertained himself looking out

afternoon spread over the west

overlooked the river, and the

where the stick-up had been
staged. 1t was a mean, dismal,

through the air with the greatest
of ease. The Americans stood on
solid ground and simply paid their
good money to watch them. And
then the war put most of these
stunt men and women beyond
American reach.
Today, in spite of war and gaso-
line rationing. the fair grounds are
still big attraction, and the thrill
acts are in great demand. There
just aren't enough such acts to 60
around.
George A. Hamid, who books
thrill attractions all over the world,
decided to do something about
that problem. Since he couldn't
get acts from abroad, he would
train new ones right here at home.
First he went on a tour of schools
and colleges. sold students on
aerialist careers, signed up likely
talent. Then he set up school for
aerialists at the New Jersey State
Fair Grounds at Trenton, and
hired as professors the leading
practitioners of that delicate and
dangerous art.
At the school, students first
go through a ground course.
For a week or SO they learn
aerial equipment and how to
take care of it. Then the tricks
are demonstrated on the black
board. Next, the students prac-
tice climbing rope ladders to
acquaint themselves with rig
ging.
Simple trapeze work follows.
The instructor demonstrates and
the student accompanies him on
the twin uapeze. Two weeks later
the neophyte is doing twists, dou-
Bile twists, somersaults and for
ward-over passing leaps. When he
has mastered the most difficult
feat of all. the breakaway, he is
ready to join an act.
Soon the Man on the Flying
Trapeze will be another made-in-

IF YOU bake your own fruit cakes,
it's time to look ahead toward

early, as fruit cakes should be
baked sometime within the first
ten days of December, as they need
at least two weeks to mellow. And
when fruit cakes are baked in
practical containers of glass or
earthenware, the baking dish as
well as the cake will be appreci-
ated as a gift. Always store the
cooled cake for ripening well-wrap-
ped in wax paper in tightly COW
cred tin container. If mold should
develop, home economists of the
Department of Agriculture advise
that the cake still will be good if
the mold is scraped off. the sur
