HIRAM PERKINS CURES ROAD WITH GUN AND LAW
Hiram Perkins, a farmer near a country road, builds a makeshift gun and blocks the highway to deter autos after a series of deadly near misses with Timothy Portley’s car. Portley tries legal routes and speed, but Perkins’ plan escalates into a rural standstill over safety, liability, and enforcement of traffic rules. Daisy Burton is injured. Perkins becomes a local figure whose method spreads among nearby farmers.

Circus Animals Dress in Fine Clothes by Elephant’s Dressmaker
An illustration filled piece describes Mrs. Anna White, elephants’ dressmaker, who for over thirty-five years fits and designs spring outfits for circus animals. Elephants, horses, and dogs receive embroidery, sequins, and bright colors as keepers measure them in winter quarters, with costs rising from $1,000 to $3,000 for show costumes. A tale of a stubborn elephant and a former trainer end with the creature marching proudly at the head of the parade in gleaming attire.
