"We'll spend thousands of dollars Importing lions, tigers and elephants" president John Ringllng North of Ulngllng Brothers-Barnum & Bailey admitted today, "and then some beast like that will get a bigger hand." He pointed to Jerry, the singing donkey, who vocalizes mournfully to trombone accompaniment. "Milt Taylor, the clown, picked him up In Phoenix, Ariz., a couple of years ago for 50 cents," North said. Samson, the goose, erstwhile Georgia moonshiner, Is celebrating his seventeenth year as a circus star. ! Samson's favorite stunt In a wide | repertoire Is waddling around the ' track, apparently hauling a wagon bearing his master, Clown Paul Wenzel. Wenzel actually supplies the lo! comotlon, and Samson cackles happily at the deception. Wenzel round hiffl" in prohibition days acting as watchman on a Georgia moonshiner's farm. Samson wanders at liberty around the circus lot, but it' Wenzel sets him on a box and I tells him to stay there, he'll be there five hours later. The only animal solo act in the circus is Clown Willie Moser's leapfrogging mule. Willie gallops around the track, jumps off over the mule's head, and the mule bends down and picks Willie up on bis back and gallops oft' again The whole show stops for that performance. Another mule (cost: $B) got one of the biggest laughs in circus history. Clumping around the track in overshoes with a comical gait, the beast suddenly balked, and Felix Adler, the clown got behnid to push. The mule backed up, knocked him down, sat in his lap .and wouldn't budge. It stopped the show, literally and liguratlvely. for five minutes. At the moment, Adler Is concentrating on his famous pig tricktraining a little porker to run up a ramp and slide down a chute, in exchange for a couple of swigs from a baby's bottle. A real prima donna, the pig gets blue on rainy days and won't perform. Another animal star for more than fifteen years was IW11y, Clown Char| lie Bell's ir..year-old midget mongrel hound Right through last season when she was blind. Betty would waltz all the way around the track en her hind legs. Then, equipped with fake rabbit eats. She would fall "dead" when Charlie shot tier with a popgun. He'd drop her into a bottomless hunting hag and she'd slip out the bottom and run a!n ad to do the triek .ill o\or again. Charlie got le-r from a hotel owner in Akron Ohio, and she died only a few weeks ago Now he's breaking in another little dog that looks like her. named Trixle. Charlie found her shivering in a gutter m Dallas last Christmas.

Yap *3 Dy?Jvstfc<*' To doc:3 \h er Pie They Eat 3*orj 77. n/t Their ^ Sf:iV3 of To c (fT s. PAH IS. ? Americans ate more than their share of 100,000 tons of foie gras, that famous gastronomic delicacy of France, which is exported from Alsace every year. That is in addition to the quantity which is produced in Perigord and Gascony, of which some is exported. Although goose livers, from which foie gras is made, were known and appreciated as a delicacy for many centuries, foie gras only became famous about 150 years ago when, what the French first called "pat?" made its appearance in Strasbourg. As far as can be learned, it was about the year 1765 that Jean-Pierre Clause, chef of the king's chamberlain who was governor of Alsace, introduced "pate de foie gras"?literally, goose liver pie. Clause was known as a great experimenter with foods and his new dish was greeted with unanimous admiration. But even the culinary discovery of Clause was to be improved in 1792 when Nicholas Francois Doyen, a Bordeaux chef then working in Alsace, made the first foie gras as it is known today when he mixed the pate with Perigord truffles. Since that time the two have always been mixed, as the truffles heighten the flavor of the foie gras. For their part, there are no statistics concerning truffles. A fungu.; root growth, truffle, as it is known in French, comes mostly from Perigord and Gascony. Curioosly enough pigs, which have been trained for the task, are used in discovering trufiles, as there is no growth a.o.c the ground which will ind.cule the*, presence. The pigs use their sense of smell and wh.cn they Login to root they are pulled away and the truffles searcher digs them up himself. Seven Suggestions for Safe Y/inter Driving CHICAGO.?From E.anston, 111., recognir.cd by safely authorities as the sofent oily in the wor-kb--comes "Winter's Seven Sa'ely Suggestions" for motorists. Judge Harry H. Porter, chief justice of municipal court and president of the Safe Winter Driving league, listed pracf.cnl safety measures for coming blizzards as 1 !lows: 1. Test brakes f r simultaneous gripping. 2. Check cnndi'.i <n of windshield wiper, defroster and tire chains. 3. Travel at less than moderate speeds on snow or ice covered highways or city streets and watch for children on slots. 4. Shift into second gear for more gradual bi cUcing on snow or ice, particularly if not safeguarded by tire chains. 5. Take curves slowly and don't try to pass cars ahead of you on hills or curves. Descend steep hills in second gear if icy. 6. Apply brakes with clutch en^ gaged and before you ordinarily would in dry weather?and don't depend on your horn because other car windows may be closed and some drivers (especially in country) wear ear muffs. 7. Exercise greater caution generally and open car windows occasionally to prevent windows fogging up and, in old cars, possible danger from carbon monoxide gas. Remember: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The Evanston safety record includes only a single traffic death this year, and three times winning the National Safety council's award as "the safest city." New Channel Increases Traffic on Mississippi MARQUETTE. IOWA.?Traffic on the Mississippi river has increased tremendously during the last shipping season. The Milwaukee railroad's pontoon bridge here, which has to be open for an average of 15 minutes to allow passage of a boat, has been open for time equaling seven full days since last March 28, when the 1 first tugboat went downstream. In 1937 a total of 408 boats passed the 276-foot pontoon. This year the figure is expected to be exceeded by almost 300. By mid-November, approximately 675 boats had passed. In 1936 the number of boats was only 349. The number of barges plying the river also has increased, with 273 going through during October alone. Creation of a new channel and locks is credited with increasing the use of the Mississippi for freight shipping Most of the barges carr> oil, coal, machinery or grain. Artist Depends on Art To Pay for Education CLEVELAND. ? Miss Ruth E Mayer earned two years of her education at the Cleveland School of Art by drawing 825 illustrations foi a new handbook on Ohio's wild flow ers compiled by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History's director Miss Mayer worked on the illustrations in her spare time and during summer vacations The young artist and her mother and father collected most of the specimens, which served as models for the illustrations, within 30 miles of Cleveland. Two members of the crew of the American president liner President Garfield, were in the ship's brig when she reached Marseilles, France, Wednesday night, accused of provoking an unfriendly Italian-American exchauge^ at Genoa. Officials of the line said the two sailors shouted, "Down with Mussolini!" as the ship was leaving Genoa.
