Women and Fat Men
Are Champion Floaters

You've seen 'cm do It. those nice
fat men. floating easily along just
outside the breaker line, their bald.
shiny heads pillowcd comfortably
back on their crossed pudgy arms,
and their expansive stomaches pro-
truding from the water like great
woolen watcrmelons.
And you've wondered why they
could float SO easily, while you, a
fairly good swimmer. couldn't lie on
your back and keep from sinking un-
less you padded bit now and
then.
The answer is this: the muscles
Of the fat mon, and Of majority
of women. are soft, which increases
the body's buoyancy and makes
floating easy. But your muscles are
hardened by exercise. and you lack
just that bit Of buoyancy needed to
keep you honting without movement.

The Rev. Mr.. Spencer Yesterday
,ampd the "spurncd woman as he
termed her. He said he and his wife
had lived for time in the home Of this
woman at Santa Rosa. and quarrelcd
with hcr concerning an account. Later.
he said. the woman made ovcrturcs of
affection. which he spurned.
Spencer insists Mrs. Spencer was
drowned accidentally when she fell from
their boat at night in Clear Lake Hr
declares that in answer to her screams
he plunged into the water and divcd
for her untn exhausted.
Upon coming here. following the
death of his wife. the accused preacher
made arrangements TO purchase bun =
galow occupied by Mrs. f. ID. Barber
and It was the plan of Mrs. Barber

Mrs. Barber expressed a desire to see
the former minister before he is returned

retained a ranch near here which has
q value of $4,000. The ranch was leased
last May.
Mrs Spencer was alone with her
husband when she died. The clergyman
was quoted as saying they had been
boating when their craft overturned.
His efforts to save his wife were futile,
he said
A Coroncr's jury brought in ver-
dict Of death by drowning.
Friends of the preachers wife asked
for further ivcStigation. and the badly
was cXhumcd and an autopsy performed.
Issuance Of the warrant followed the
report Of the autopsy surgeons.

ATTEMPT CHARGE

suit TO recover s2.5O0 damages
from her own brother was filed to-
day in the superior court by Mar
garet Ezsel against George Szabo
and Theresa Szabo. She charges her
brother with betraying the trust she
imposed in him by attempting 20

sister represented that they owned
SO TO 50 acres OF land and would
sell &c TO the sister for 5000. She
gave them $4,000 10 bind the deal
and obtained a receipt which did
not bind them as 70 any specified
farm.
The plaintiffs later demanded an
additional $500 before they would
convey the property 10 her. How
ever, the defendants wife, Theresa,
in her maiden name conveyed the
land TO Alex Langel for $4,000 con
slderation. but the plaintiff asserts
this conveyance was invalid because
the deed did not bear the husbands
signature.
