so you turn your face away
or bend over 50 the audience
won't see your face starting
to crack. You see. clowns have
as much fun as the spectators
at least I do"
Even though he doesn't
work at it regularly any more,
Bumpsy is one of the best
known clowns in the show
business. He has worked in
vaudeville and night clubs
and in all the circuses-Ring-
ling Bros. and Barnum & Bal
ley, Sells-Floto. Cole Bros,
Sparks, even Tom Mix.
His real name is George
Hume. He got the name
Bumpsy from his style Of
work, which includes bounc-
ing falls and mild acrobatics.
Just between us. it amt as
easy to take the bumps as it
used to be-" he says. Il 60
down all right, but don't
bounce up as fast"
Bumpsy, now 48, has been
in show business for 80 years.
About six years ago. during a
slack period, he decided to get

tie down 50 his wife could
have a home and his daugh-
ter could get uninterrupted
schooling. He took a civil
service examination and be-
came a guard on Highway
Bridge. Soon he had learned
to work the draw, and he was
made an operator. There he
has been ever since, except
for a seven month tour of
duty as a guard at the Dis
trict Jail.
However. he didn't give up
his clowning altogether. He
says he would "go nuts" if
he did. In his vacation pc
riods he picks a circus some
where and gets himself a job
as a clown. With his reputa-
ton he doesn't have any
trouble. He will be seen, for
instance. in the Shrine Circus
which opens tomorrow in
Uline Arena.

stands her husbands urge and
encourages him to take these
temporary jobs. His l5-year-
old daughter, now a student
at George Washington High
School in Alexandria, was on
the road with her parents
when she was a baby. She
has show business in her
blood and threatens to go into
a show with her father.
Bumpsy and his wife were
married in a New Haven cir
Gus ring with great fanfare in
1891, and last st. Patrick's
Day, at the insistence of their
daughter, were remarked in
a ceremony in st. Mary's
Church, Alexandria. The
Hulmes live at 40 John Rob-
erts Homes, Alexandria.
Bumpsy's speciality Is what
he calls the eccentric clown.
He comes out in tattered
clothes and contofts his neck
so that it is greatly elongated.
His neck is painted with lines
to enhance the effect. Con-
tortion comes easy to Bumpsy,
for when he first started in
show business he apprenticed
as an acrobat and contortion-
list. He practices almost daily
Bumpsy has no set routine.
He makes up his stuff as he
goes along.
You take any idea that
comes to you and build it up,"
he says. you run across a
piece of rope. You start fool
ing with it, and first thing you
know you're all tangled up.
It's that way with everything.
You're always getting into
trouble and then making it
worse. It takes creativeness
to be a perfect dope.
You play to the children.
Get 'em laughing-don't worry
about the older folks. You get

You Family Food :.
Nutrition knowledge

1t is generally agreed by au-
thorities to-day that the aver
age homemaker's knowledge Of
nutrition-and her ability to
cook have much to do with the
health and we'll being of her
family.
To find out how much the
typical homemaker knows a.
bout nutrition a survey was re
Gently conducted by the u. S.
Department of Agriculture in
Richmond, Virginia. Questions
were asked of four hundred re-
personalities homemakers in
200 city blocks.
The survey showed that :-
Half Of the homemakers had
little or no information on nu-
triton. Only four per cent had
adequate information. The re-
naming 40 per cent had some.
Only about half the homemade
ers were providing adequate
daily meals for their families
that is, only about half includ-
ed food from all the seven bas-
ic food groups in their daily
menus.
Sources of Information
To learn the best means OF
getting facts about foods and
nutrition information. to the
average homemaker. The WON
en- were asked their sources
Of information. Their replies
showed that:
Nine out of Ten had news
papers, magazines or radios in
their homes. The majority took
their ideas from newspapers or
magazines and sidered
them most helpful. Next to
the press, the radio was the
chief source of ideas on foods
and nutrition, but only one-six-
tn had ever attended.
Children influenced about
half the mothers by what they
learned at school about foods
