The dressing room became quiet; one or two women came and helped me dress. We learned from a property boy that a perch had broken and that two men were hurt. In the big top, while I was walking down the track toward my rigging, I remembered that that particular act worked in the same ring in which I was now to perform, and when I stepped into the loop of my line to be pulled up to my rig- ging I saw the broken pole lying on the ground Jjust outsile the ring. It is not an easy thing to work at such a time. You have in mind, of course, the injured performers, and then the audience is not in a good mood. They will not enjoy your offering, and the more thrills ty;;m provide the more coldly they will receive em. Down, 31 Makes clear, 1 Individual 33 Philippine performances.

The answers to the cross-word puzzles on this page will be found win Monday’s Star, HIS audience was not only still, it was tense, and later in the dressing room I learned why, The man on the perch was hanging by one foot from a loop at the top of the pole when it broke. He dropped at once. The man below, the pole on his shoulders, turned so that the part of the pole he was still holding would not fall into the audience, and threw it away from him and got beneath the falling man. There was not time to brace himself for the shock of the contact; he caught his partner on his shoulders and both of them went to the ground in a heap. All in the flash of a moment the man below had done the only thing he could do, bravely and without hesita= tion. The crowd knew that he had taken a hero’s part and that perhaps he had given his life to save another. They were both back in the ring inside of three weeks. The one below had a strained back and the one on top had a broken shoulder blade. Toward the end of the season, when the nights are cold and you wonder what you have done with your season’s salary, many discussions occur in the dressing room as each performer tries to decide whether to play in vaudeville or to take a long rest. There is much thinking back over the season's trek, and bets on the closing date are offered. But we all know that when the whistle blows to start the next season we shall be there. It is the last night and the last act has played and bowed and left the sawdust ring. The band pauses, then swings into “Auld Lang Syne”; all work on the lot stops until it is played, and then as the last note dies away there is a cheer, rising from the hundreds of throats. Something has gone. The characters are changed into men and women; the circus has folded its tents and vanished, silently, magic- ally, somewhere into the night. (Copyright. 1930.) Mother Nature’s Tricks. OLD MOTHER NATURE still has a trick or two up her sleeve. Take, for instance, the question of drying lumber. The Forest Service estimates that, in the case of Southern pine more than $10,000,000 was lost in one year through kiln-drying methods, but would have been saved had time permitted the natural weathering process.
