First Naval Force. ‘The work begins with establishment ®f the first naval force by the Conti- mental Congress during the Revolu- tionary War and in succeeding chap- ters tells of the organization and his- tory of the Navy Department, estab- > HNshed May 21, 1798, with Benjamin Btoddert as the first Secretary, the shore establishments, the fleet, per- sonnel, the Naval Reserve and the | Marine Corps There are seven pages of illustra- tions of the types of ships and air- craft used by the U. S. Navy. | “The history of the Navy is replete with action,” the booklet says in the opening chapter. “The quasi-war with France, 1798-1801, saw its bap- tismal fire. Tripolitan pirates next | brought it to the Mediterranean. Then | came the war of 1812. Suppression of the slave trade necessitated con- siderable activity. » Step for New Navy. . “The first step toward a new Navy (after the War Between the States) came under the administration of | President Garfleld, when an advisory | board was appointed to report on the needs of the Navy. President Arthur, én his first annual message in 1881, declared, ‘T cannot too strongly urge upon you my conviction that every -oonsideration of national safety, econ- omy and honor imperatively demands & thorough rehabilitation of the Navy.’ In spite of the reluctance of Con- gress to accede to his views, the birth of a new Navy occurred in his ad- wministration. Later, under the lead- ership of President Theodore Roose- Circus Tent City On Arrival of Antoinetie Concello, shown Rises Today 5-Section Train here swinging her sister Gracie in a “bird nest,” is the only girl aerialist ever to accomplish a two-and-a-half revolution somersault and the triple somersault.

And when they've had enough of beasts, they can watch the chefs cook for the men and women who work for the circus and perform marvels in the ring. Winter Training1 ous. The jungle creatures only now are recuperating from a Winter more vige orous than any they have spent since Jjoining the circus. The result of their off-season efforts is “India,” the new opening pageant, which the c&rcus‘ people themselves, usually hesitant about boosting their own endeavor, admit is “by far the most impressive and colorful spectacle ever produced by the organization.” “India” requires the animals to spend several minutes in an atmos- phere of the bizarre so unusual that the lions and the tigers and the ele- phants and their colleagues of jungle and veldt were nervous and dubious | when they were introduced to the | idea. At last, however, most of the | animals have been taught to wear | their unusual head dresses and be- | come accustomed to riding their DEFINITELY strange floats without a lash of the tail. Even 30, a dream of the publicity department of turning “India” into & sort of Times Square in motion came to naught, because the lions picked for the job refused absolutely to co-operate. They would give their all for pageantry, but not one whit for publicity. The idea was to attach the tails of ’| diving daredevils. four lions to lines leading to the con- trol for an electric switch. This switch, when on, would admit an elec- tric current to a neon sign to be car- ried high over the spectacle, flashing off and on at regular, quick intervals as the lions in unison raised and lowered their tails beneath the neon pronouncement: “India is the most lavishly costumed, the most gorgeous circus spectacle ever conceived. It is the last word in ex- quisite color blendings and in lighting.” ‘The lions, it was said, were in hearty accord with'the message of the neon sign, but they insisted on being taken from their traveling cages to enable them to look at the sign while their tails regulated the electric flow. The management considered this demand a subterfuge and refused to accede to it. The lions for their part were adamant, and the number was discarded. Among the scores of outstanding new features from abroad, who will perform after “India” has made its round of the mai ntent, are the Mag- yars, Europe’s largest and “most sen- sational” somersaulting springboard acrobatic troupe. The Great Aloys, aerial flying and Famous Horse Act. William Heyer, Europe's “first” horseman and trainer, with Tamara Heyer and their famous horses. of the weird Chinese bars. Maria Rasputin, the “daughter of | the Mad Monk of Russia,” and her | liberty horses. | The Maysy-Brach troupe, aerial | thrillers on a high unicycle shaft. | The Lu-Lolita troupe, midair up- | side-down gliders. | The Randolls, famed flying return troupe. The Erwingos, high trapeze ‘“sen- sationalists.” The Cleveres, somersaulting acro- | batic “whirlwinds.” ‘The Qualtieros, airplane revolvers. | The Colters, Europe's renowned equestrian clowns. ‘To add to these sensations, the Ida- Kathe duo will soar at the head of | the largest all-girl aerial ballet ever | produced in Washington, the United | States. North America, the Western | Hemisphere, the world, the solar sys- | tem. It is colossal. Contributions Tax Exempt.
