Gardening Tips
for This Week

Surplus wood ashes should be
dumped in the compost pile il it Is
impracticable to store them In a
dry place. Exposed to rain they soon
lose their value. but in the compost
pile they are absorbed to q con-
siderable extent.
Feeding Of cactus and succulents
in the indoor garden Is often
neglected. They benefit by careful
feeding during the periods Of active
growth. A light dressing Of COM
mercial fertilizer watered on the sol
will be sufficient.
Plastic substitutes for glass are
being considered for cold frames
While light and easily handled, they
are not all equally effective. Some
retain heat nearly as well as glass
but few of them transmit sunlight
as effectively.
The fruit of the Towering ounce
when mixed with apple makes an
cACcucAL jc1iy.
Gardeners who have had trouble
with their raspberries should try
mulching them with leaves. A foot
thick layer will help to keep down
sprouts and weeds and at the same
time provide the cool root-run that
these plants seem to desire.
Potting plants for indoor use
should be done now. Leave them In
the cold frame for few weeks to
get well started before bringing
them indoors. Try potting parsley
plant (small one) and clump OF
chives. They will grow and provide
useful material If given bit Of
attention In a sunny window.

hurst, 99-year-old widow who died
here March l6 at the Broadmoor
Apartments, left most of her estate

Variety NOT Trade Paper,
Controller General Rules

The Controller General has ruled
that Variety, the so-called Bible"

a trade paper.
The issue came up when the Fed
eral Communications Commission
sought to buy Variety under the
Governments provision that scien-
tif1c technical or trade publications
are exempted from the $50 limita-
ton otherwise placed on newspapers
purchased by Federal agencies.
The ruling held that Variety is
a newspaper, not trade paper, be-
cause it carries general news. 1t
also carries IA pages of news about
the radio industry, which is why
FEC wanted it.
Besides radio news, Variety covers
all phases of the movie industry

College Students
Taller than GIS

BERKELEY, CALF. - In the
western part of the United States,
the average young woman is 5 feet,
314 inches tall and weighs l27
pounds, while the average male is
feet, 824 inches in height and
weighs 1897 pounds.
These averages we're gathered in
a measurement survey by DR.. Theo-
dore D. McCown, University of
California anthropologist, for the
committee on prosthetic devices OF
the National Research council. The
study was made to obtain average
arm and leg measurements, and
the standard statistics obtained will
be used in the improvement of arti-
fetal limbs.
The 1000 young women measured
were college students and WAVES.
Men measured included 800 SOL
diers and sailors, 700 college stu
dents, and 300 males from the gen.
eral population. Greater differ
ences were found among the col
lege students than among the SOL
diers and sailors. College students
we're about one inch taller and two
and one-quarter pounds heavier than

out with cats over two years of age
since cubs up to two possess deli
cate spinal vertebrate, injury to
which may result in permanent kid
ney trouble. Lions fresh from the
jungle are preferred since native
born animals, used to the fawning
of crowds, are easily distracted and
lack the single-mindedness of wild
beasts.
First, the cats are taught to walk
down the ramp, with collar and
chain being applied to animals in
cases where they are slow to re-
spond. Once the lion has learned to
walk down the runway, he is next
drilled to take his seat, with from
six weeks to three months required
for this training. Finally, the ami
mails are taught to mix.
Some Are Good, Some Bad.
Broken in 2, the lions attain their
full maturity at 7, and are retired
from the show at IL, though they
may live to be 18 or 20. They are
very much like people, Jacobs said,
some being good, some bad, some
bright, others SLOW While only so
much can be accomplished with
animals, daily year-round associ-
alton with them enables a trainer
to perceive their capabilities more
closely and discover new qualities
for exploitation.
Jacobs attachment TO a menag-
erie when he first joined the circus
led to his employment as an APP
prentice to a Swiss lion-tamer, and
the experience he acquired permit
ted him to take over the act when
his boss returned to the old coun-
try. Starting with lions, he stead
lily broadened his act, the high point
arriving when he appeared with $50
animals in one of Johnny Weismul-
ler's "Tarzan' motion pictures.

American Circus
Is 100 Years Old

The great circuSeS of America
are on tour again, just as they
have done for more than 100 years.
And again they include equestrian
exhibitions, gymnastic and aero
batic performances, with variety
added by the quips and fooling of
the clown.
The modern circus dates from the
close of the 18th century. Travelling
circuses were heard of before 1880
in both England and America, and
after 1850 assumed great dimen-
sions. Among the earlier ones were
Hengler's, Sanger's. and Barnum
and Bailey's. Col William F. Cody
buffalo BlD and his Wild West
show travelled all over the world
and gave performances before the
crowned heads of Europe.
Now Big Business.
The construction of permanent
circuses known as coliseums and
hippodromes has given new life to
the circus, furnishes variant on
the itinerant show of enormous
dimensions which moves about the
country on special railway trains.
Barnum and Bailey's circus is
still in existence, and along with
Barnes Bros, Beatty's, and others,
continues the grand tour every
summer. The 1916 season is expect
ed to be one of the biggest in his
tory, since most circuses were I'M
abb to travel during the war years.
Wild animals, most of them
trained to perform for the crowds,
continue to be the foundation of
most circuses.

where he helped establish the Sho-

Cody, Wyo., is named for him.

The lion is king, says Jacobs, be-
cause the Creator made him to be
king by supplying him with a great
bushy name underneath his neck
which prevents other beasts from
ripping his jugular vein while he
claws them to pieces.
Expert that he is, Jacobs has
had his close calls in the cage and
he can show 539 stitches on his body
to prove it. Where the SCARED flesh
is depressed, that's where he was
bitten, and where it's jagged, that's
where he was clawed.
No less than 54 wounds were in
flicted up in Minneapolis, Mimi,
where leopard, frightened by the
collapse of a wall of the arena,
leaped from its stand and mauled
Jacobs around before it was driven
off. On another occasion, one lion
came at him in Peru, Ind, and three
others joined in to Chamber atop of
him before one cat came to his res
cue and snapped at his attackers.

a good chance to rip into some Of
the others it didn't like
Cats Are Not Loyal.
Cracking his whip and firing his
.38 revolver, Jacobs enters the huge
circular cage to get the roaring and
snarling cats to climb up onto their
stands and sit, and then Chamber
down to lie down in a cluster be-
fore him. While shaggy Sammy"
walks tight-rope and rolls barrel
to him, "Sheba" rises on her
launches to follow Jacobs in a pom
derous waltz
Born to the circus, the stocky, mus
cular Jacobs is the coolest person in
the house when he steps into the
cage. Precisely because of the dam
ger which confronts him with each
performance and the prime impor-
lance of headwork in handling
beasts, he must remain cool to as
sure his own safety.
Young Ones. Easily Injured.
When it comes TO tanning lions
and tigers, headWork plays the chief
role, Jacobs says. By studying the
antics of cat, trainer can obtain
a knowledge of his peculiarities and
then strive to counterfeit them. For
instance, when Jacobs first sought to
teach lion to roll barrel to him,
the cat would slide off the sloping
end and upset it. Failing to get the
animal to push the barrel ahead,
Jacobs then fastened an angle iron
flange around the center to cut into
the dirt and hold it straight. In that
way, the lion was taught TO keep an
even course.
