He was the first big advertiser. Barnum, son of a village tavern-keeper, was a; wizard at psychology—the study of human na- | ture. Socrates would have enjoyed talking to him—and probably learned something new. In 1884 Barnum heard of Joyce Heath, alleged! negro nurse of George Washington. He bought! her for $1000, took her around on exhibition and; cleaned up a lot of money. i His next venture was taking hold of a com-| plete failure, the American Museum in New. York. | It ceased to be a failure the day Barnum bought! it.- He announced that the museum had acquired | ® woolly horse, a white negress, a combination of| fish and monkey called the “Japangse mermaid,” also General Tom Thumb, the famous dwarf, Did people flock to see these freaks? They did! Why, it’s interesting even to read about them,, after the lapse of 80 years. The secret of Barnum’s success was simple. } Realizing that this world at its best is rather dull, | he intuitively caught the idea that people will flock} to see the unusual. i A healthy baby, born to parents you don’t! know, does not interest you: But if you are told! that the baby has six teeth, you sit up and take| Notice. \ Many shrewd men have recognized this psycho-| logical truth and profited by it.

Barnum, though he -had interesting -exhibits, | knew that no one would hear of them uniess he; advertised. Among other kinds of advertising, he invented the billboard. But, his greatest ad was his circus parade, winding up with a calliope that rang in your ears | for weeks, to keep the circus in your memory.| No conservative band for Barnum. : Barnum died in 1891. His circus’ went. on:| Finally it consolidated with -Ringling Bros— the Dingdong Brothers, as they are called in the sawdust ring. During the 1920 season, the pa- rade was eliminated.

S of Bacteriophage Discovery of a r-microbe, which attacks. and kills deadly: disease germs in the human blood, is claimed by Dr. F. d’Herelle, of the Pas-! teur Institute of Paris. He names it the “bacteri- ephage,” or bacteria-eater. The pet prey of the bacteriophage are the germs) of typoid fever, bubonic plague, dysentery and from its disorganized police department and other hemorrhagic septicaemia. The bateria-eater goes | after them like a cat after a mouse. It aids the bloods’ white corpuscles, natural attacked of germs. I Greatest value of this discovery, says Dr.! a’Herelle, is that it can be used to stop epidemics. So far, his work is experimental. Time must pass before the bacteria-eater can be bought-at the drug storé But it, along with serums now in use, indicate that man’s battle with the germs will be a successful one. Nature provides an antidote for everything. ROADS Jobs for 150,000 men, building 6261 miles of} roads, are expected to follow recent passage of|which ought to be after the Springfield Republi- the Federal Highway Act. The cost of the new roads will be about $12,000/the size of our police force, and we can’t have a mile. The nation’s investment in highways is many times as big as the investment in railroads.

IS CITY:GO ERNM| eNT LIPPING? The Springfeld anes after looking over | from coast to coast, declares pessimistically that icity government in America appears to be slip-' iping. These are its grounds for the conclusion: | New York City, where Tammany has gained complete control; | Buffalo, where a brewer, on a platform of | “Down With the Volstead Act,” was elected mayor over Mayor George S. Buck, a fine, efficient, high type of municipal executive; Detroit, where. the people have returned Mayor James. Couzens to office, indorsing | his street railway. policy and voting millions | in bonds to further the plan; i Cleveland, where Mayor Fitzgerald has i .been defeated by Fred Kohler, once famous as the “golden rule chief of police” under Baker, and later ousted’ after a’ scandal, | but now elected, along ‘with adoption of a city manager charter effective two years hence; " \ Indianapolis, there former Mayor Shanks | has been re-elected ; And San Francisco, where Schmitz has | been elected mayor—Schmitz of the old Abe Ruef days. The venerated Republican regards these acts of ‘the six electorates as evidence that city-govern- ment is slipping. Maybe so—maybe so. And yet account should be taken of distinct improvement in governmental machinery, by means of which everywhere — except in New York, which is an-|° other story, anyway — the people are really in Buffalo may look bad—and yet Buffalo, even with its com- mission form of government, feels it has far bet- council.

Cleveland may: or may not have slipped in, picking Fred Kohler as mayor; for it has found it set up a decade ago, and perhaps has concluded, | administrative lapses, that it must keep on mod- ernizing its city hall machinery. Indianapolis and San Francisco, too, have made | some gains in governmental agencies, so that it is possible Shanks and Schmitz, bound by improved charter requirements, may serve their constitu- | ents better than in their previous administration‘ | Kansas City, Mo., has voted to have a| new charter framed, avd h-s elected a commis- sion to frame it; this, too. in the face of a hard fight by men who feared loss of political power.

BISMARCK TRIBUNE | “MATRIMONY — IT’S' VERE er et BY ALICE ROHE. New York, Dec.,.,1-—Marriage and children—especially American chil: dren.

DEAN New York, Dec. 1—There are no really beautiful women in the movies on on the stage!” Penrhyn Stanlaws’ told me ‘that. And:he ought to know a beautiful woman. He‘ has drawn and painted hundreds of them. “There are no real beauties on the, stage or screen: because no actresses are ladies.” What!*. I jumped out of my chair. “What do you mean——” “That a woman of refinement sup- presses her emotions, An actress ex- bresges much of herself.. If she were a ‘perfect lady’ she could not be a great actress. Bernhardt, Rejane, - none of the great ‘actresses, were ‘perfect ladies.’” Stanlaws is now a photoplay di- rector. His last picture was an adap- tation of Barrie's “The Little Min- ister,” with Betty Compson, known ae screen beauty, in the leading role. ein ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Barton Roberts i I ; Nancy sat in the middle of a queer circle, for all except Nick were ugly, misshapen gnomes of every age, that \is, of every age over a hundred years. |When a gnome is born, you- know, he is already a hundred years old, jand 80, of course, quite grown up. She couldn't’ help wishing that they wouldn’t stare. .so, for they were veering at her with .unblinking, gro- tesque eyes. “But then,” she thought, “it :s just what one may expect. No doubt they’ve had no bringing up at all and have never been told that it is rude to stare at company.” Self- invited company to be sure, she and Nick were, but company just the same. The little gnome who. had opened the gate nodded -at her finally when he’d waited and waited, and Nancy, busy with her thoughts, hadn't said a word. “Why don’t. you begin?” he demanded. “Don't you know how to {play ‘truth?’ You told me you did, in the passage.” Nancy started. “Oh, y—” she was about to say, when Nick put a warning finger to his- lips. She had almost said the forbidden’ word. “I beg your pardon,” she began again. “I didn’t mean to keep you waiting. | How many questions ‘may I ask?” “As many as you like,” answered ,| the gnome, whosé’ hame was Crook- ne,,; ‘only, you .must” ston when iiieoné tells you an. untruth.
