The story told by Luckese and Judge Dana's decision went to show that relatives are not always of as- sistance in an emergency. Accord- ing to Luckese. a cousin in Pitts- fleld. Mass. had asked him to take some packages tram New York to his home, and Luckese had agreed. The car, which belonged to another cousin. was loaded the previous night. Luckcse was unaware of the contents. The other passengers had been picked up at a. restaurant at 4 o'clock in the morning. Luckese invited them to join an impromptu week-end party, and they were only too glad to accept. They weren't sure when they would return. until they reached Daricn.

Main Circus Has Noted Array Of 40 Clowns; Here July 19 One of the “greatest arrays of clowns ever carried on tour by an American circus is found with the Walter L. Main Circus this year. There are forty of the funny fellows. count em. forty and their latest laugh provoking creations are guar- anteed to bring forth the keenest merrimcnt of the year. These clowns are all guaranteed laugh-getters and many have been seen with the great. est amusement organizations to be found in Europe. The role of clown is no easy one. The modern clown is a paradox. He- ls the same as in the days of the celebrated Dan Rice. back in the past century. and yet he is a. dif- ferent clown. The explanation? Well in this way—he is the same in that he paints his face in vermiillon and white and adheres to the time-hon- eyed ridiculous pattern in his dress. he is different because of the fact that his work of today is practically all pantomime and he never reverts to the old habit of clowns of for- mer days who almost exclusively made up his act of recitations. songs. and Jokes. The change infhe ciown's meth- od of work is the logical result of shifting conditions in the circus world. in other days. when one ring sufficed. the tent w neces- sarily small. a fact which rmitted the clown to be heard distinctly sv- erywhere under the canvas.
