King Bros. Circus Plays Lexington Today;
New Records Set Everywhere This Year

The King Bros. Circus which
shows in Lexington today for two
performances at and P. M. has
set up new records everywhere it
has played this year according to
reports of various papers through
out the country.
Interesting to Lexington citizens
will be the following account of re-
cord set in Wytheville, Va, taken
from the Enterprise of that city.
The King Bros. Circus -1ung up a
new record for this show going town
they presented three performances
to overflow crowds at the triple
programs here Tuesday afternoon
and night. Possibly establishing a
new record for attendance, the show
advertised to give only an after
noon and night performance was
forced into a second showing of the
afternoon, and before the whistle
sounded for the night performance,
the circus managers were pulling
their hair and trusting that the last
of the crowd was inside the big top
for there was very strong indica-
ton that second night performan-
ce was going to be necessary. Every
available seat, and canvas spread in
every available space finally solved
the problem.
The verdict of the majority wit
Messing the performance was "a
good show" highlights of which
were death defying leaps by the

brothers jumped from spring
board through flaming hoop, then
to the increasing tempo of drums

of three elephants. The trapeze art
lists also included the Flying Jord-

Hinckley's military band.
The troupe of trained elephants
was exceptionally good, while the
wire walking acts of Tommy Bent

good. The clowns under the leader

Force as Discipline
By A ngeIo Patri

The old idea that force applied
to human will and desire is useful
and right dies hard. 1t is so easy
to beat a child into submission, the
resulting obedience so quick, why
not take the short cut? Because
human growth is siow-growing
process. 1t must come from the
inside and it requires years of ex-
perience and power of understand
ing. Years and more years must
cover the span Of the spirits growth
and 1t is spiritual growth that must
be acquired if human being is to
achieve success in living. Force
cannot touch the spirit.
I have lived with children long
enough to know that there are times
when q child must be snatched from
danger and forcefullF held for his
safety. Such times are rare in a
teachers life, rare in any parents
life. Emergencies do arise but, being
emergencies. they are not routine
affairs, so those who meet every
situation with emergency methods
soon render themselves useless to
the children's minds, to their growth.
Tho mother who screams and slaps
and beats a child as daily exer-
else, the teacher who follows any
such plan Of discipline is worse
than useless. She Is a positive det-
siment to the children under her

Maybe you think that ice cream
Is a fairly modern invention--or
you may remember hazily something
about it being served first in the
White House by Dolly Madison and
YOU decide that that was when 1t
was originated. Not at all, for ice
cream is one Of the Oldest foods we
have.
Certainly We know that it was
eaten long before Columbus ever
set foot on these western shores. In
fact, one of the tales told OF ice
cream concerns its appearance in
about g. AID. at a great celebration
held in honor of the Emperor Nero.
This ice cream had been made with
snow brought by swift runners from
the tops OF the mountains, who fell
exhausted before the cooks with
their still unmelted treasure. The
cooks favored the snow with honey,
fruit juices and pulps, with the
result that Nero enjoyed a dish
much like our fruit ices of today.
In the 18th century Marco Polo
returned to Italy from his travels in
Asia and among other wonders he
related the recipe Of frozen deli
cacy he had eaten in China. This
included milk and was much like
our sterbets. The recipe later went
to France with Catherine de Medici,
then Queen Of France. After it was
served at state dinners at court, it
became fashionable among other
hostesses and soon an Italian named
Courtreaux opened shop in Paris
where water ices were served. CT'his

started adding milk to the sweet
liquid, along the lines Of the Marco
Polo original recipe, which long
since had ceased to be a secret.
However. secrecy appeared later
in the ice cream game. In the 18th
century in England messenger
from Charles I sought out a certain
Frenchman in poor section OF
London and for the sum of 500
pounds yearly bought his sworn oath
that he would not divulge to any
one the formula for making ice
cream. King Charles wanted to be
sure that this unusual food would
be served only at the royal table! 1t
was, in fact, centuries before ice
cream passed into the possession of
the plain people.
The first mention of ice cream in
America is found in a letter written
in 1700 by a guest of Gov Bladen
of Maryland. who speaks of de-
licious dessert of ice cream, straw
berries and milk. In l777 adver-
tisements appeared in New York.

ladies and gentlemen of the gar

is believed to have been the loca-

cream often at Mount Vernon and
