representation of a clown seated In a
tub. which is being drawn down riv-

lies one of the many victims who were
crowned years ago by the collapse Of
an iron suspension bridge on which
they had crowded to see clown pass
underneath in the manner described.
The feat, which was a novel form OF
advertisement by travelling circus.
was actually performed. but the rush
OF people from one side of the bridge
to the other after the man had passed
under caused the tragic ending.

kisser Other squires have said that
young women who were going to be
married went to Dietrich with their
business, just to have Dietrich kiss
them.
Paola Ruffa, an Italian who can't
even speak English, has caused
Dietrich to quit kissing brides.
Ruffa was married to Lucia de Gae-
tano, age %, by the squire. After
the ceremony Dietrich pursed his
lips and stepped forward, prepared
to give the bride a smack.
The bride seemed willing. The
bridegroom looked puzzled for a
moment. Then he understood what
was about to happen.
1t didn't. though. Ruffa allowed
in excited Italian that he was going
to do all the kissing that was to be
in his family. He threw his bride
behind him and proceeded to spoil
the squire's kissing apparatus. The
squire saved himself by ducking
two blows.
Then Ruffa rushed his bride out
of the office. The squire didn't get
any marriage fee.

A piece of rubber hose was used
during this operation, the girls said,
and the supporters were instru-
mental in partially breaking the

extend the line the matter will
definitely settled by the middle
