' Cape Town Miracles'
Frank Worthington
The adventure which befell Frank Worthmgton in Cape Town started by his doing a good turn to a stranger. The bread he cast upon the waters came back to him in the shape of a strange privilege; that of being allowed to witness the mysterious happenings of which he tells in his talk. We have all heard of the remarkable powers of Eastern fakirs and holy men. Perhaps it has not fallen to many Europeans to see so complete a range of their wonders as Mr. Worthington beheld that day.

' Care of the Hair '
Mary Embrey
This is the third and last of Mary Embrey 's talks which have been of such interest to women, and they should tune in today in their thousands since she is to speak about woman's greatest charm-her hair. It is good news that Miss Embrey is to give further talks in the spring on women's looks.

Mroczkowski puts the Liberty
Horses through their paces
With a description by F. H. Grisewood from Bertram Mills 's Winter
Quarters at Ascot
See the drawings and note by Steven Spurrier on page 10
Few things interest us more, from childhood on, than a circus ; and this broadcast, that is a kind of trailer to the one to be given vof the circus in action, from Olympia on January 5, is planned to show listeners something of the ceaseless activity that goes on while the circus is in winter quarters.
It will concentrate on the liberty horses, so called because they are not ridden. They enter the ring unshod, and are entirely free agents in performing different and wonderful formations. During training (a glimpse of which is to be shown to listeners) these highly-strung animals have to be accustomed to every kind of noise and interruption.
At Ascot, near the race-course station, Bertram ' Mills's Circus spends the winter months. There is a staff of eighty ; there are fifty horses (forty-five of them in the liberty teams), twenty ponies, six elephants, and seven lions. It is an amazing self-supporting industry. The circus has its own farriers, its own vet., its own carpenter's shop, makes its own dresses, and even its own electric light, being dependent on nothing but the water supply.
