That Elliot Zborowski, who was

remember him as the greatest dare

American count for his wild. reck.
less disregard for life. He was borr

Strangely enough, his death is in
keeping with the traditions OF his
family, for none of the male members
ever dies in bed. Back of this re-
markable circumstance Is a tale of a
curse four generations ago launched
at the head OF the grandfather
of Elliot Zborowski by an Irish lord,
who, in his anger. called upon hea'

None has since. Elliots father was
stricken with paralysis and died in
