The Once Over
MR, smNE FRANKLIN TELLS THE STORY on
HIS SUCCESS

HIS SUCCESS
(sidney Franklin, OF Brooklyn. N. Y, the only
American to seek a career as a bull fighter. has be-
come the idol Of Spain. In a recent fight in which
he slew two bulls, he was carried from the arena on
the shoulders Of cheering throngs-News itemO
well, folks, it is the old story Of hard work and
ultimate triumph over adversely. Al a child had
few Of the advantages which help a lad to become
a bull fighter. My parents were very poor. They
were to poor to keep a bull. Up to the time I was
10 years old I had to practice on a Great Dane. La
ter my father bought me a goat. Then my parents,
realizing that I showed great promise as a bull fight
er, hired a tutor who owned his own bull and used to
bring it to me for the lessons.
"How I used to dread those lessonsl He used to
make me practice two hours every day. 1t was pretty
tough having to go out two hours every afternoon
and wrestIe with a bull when 1 wanted to stay in and
play like other children.
well, anyway. I rapidly became the most prof.
cient child bull fighter in our neighborhood. I was
called a child prodigy and when I was II years old !
gave a bull fighting recital. All the masters said

money to buy my own bull on the time payment plan.
1t was a beautiful bull. a dull mahogany. Then !
decided to waive my amateur standing and come out
as a professional bull fighter.
Even my best friends turned away. They said
there was no future in bull fighting and urged me to
take up something that promised speedy financial
returns, like prohibition enforcement or golf lessons.
But I was firm. 1 believed in myself. I believed IN
bull fighting. I believed in America.
1T was a hard road I had chosen, no bull. At
tempts to interest my native land in bull fighting
was futile. Penniless and hungry, ! went from house
to house trying to interest people in bull fighting
Laughter and derision greeted me.
Then I turned to Spain. AT first the country was
indifferent. TO attract attention I stole a bull and

Pity the Poor City Dweller

Up in New York city the Herald Tribune is en-
gagged in raising a "fresh-air" fund OF many thou
sand dollars with which TO send poor children out OF
the city for a health giving vacation.
That paper expects TO send some $4,000 children on
n summer vacation trip. This is an investment which
will nav such enormous returns in better health,
stronger bodies and cleaner minds that It Is impossi-
bic to compute the interest percentage.
But what a contrast between New York City and
the Valley.
Here there are no thousands Of children cooped
up IN crowded tenements where they rarely see the
sun-whre trees and flowers are mythical wonders
pnly to be dreamed about and the scent OF uncon-
taminated fresh air is unknown.
The past week As girls 10 TO II years old enjoyed
hn outing at the Girl Reserve camp on the Arroyo at
Rio Hondo and next week a similar group Of girls
will enjoy an outing. Several hundred girls will at
tend the camp for one or more weeks during the sea-
son and all Of them will reap untold benefits in i'm
proved physical. mental and moral condition.
But while these girls are enjoying the special COM
forts Of the camp there is not a child in the entire
Valley, no matter how poor its parents. who is denied
the privilege of a health giving outdoor outing.
The land is full of trees and flowers, there are in
Vulnerable resacas and arroyos which provide ideal
camping grounds, the Gulf of Mexico and its won
derful beach is SO near that anyone can reach IL and
enjoy the bathing and fishing.
This is one more reason why people Of the crowd
81 northern and eastern cities are moving South and
populating the wide open spaces.
Look about you. fill you lungs with the salt laden
fresh air Of the Valley and pity the poor city dweller.

June III can't say. I haven't
seen Joe Grundy."
Will Rogers always got q laugh when he pulled
tb,. one His audiences regarded It as one Of his
best cracks.
II always came when the humorist was poking fun
at republicans and their attitude on governmental
principles as they affected big business. The INFER
ence was that the party first saw Joe Grundy before
a definite policy was decided upon
The reference is to q stocky, florid-faced man OF
81 who lives in Bristol, Penn. He Is Joseph X.
crundy. a wool manufacturer, president OF the Penn
svlvania Manufacturers association. and one Of the
foremost authorities on tariff in the United States.
Joe crundy. as he is known in Washington, adj
mittedly is W power in the republican party, although
q seat on the town council Of Bristol is the only public
office he ever has held.
TARIFF EXPERT
His speciality is tariff, and he has had a finger in
every tariff revision since 1890. AS president Of the
Pennsylvania manufacturers he Is regarded as indus
trv,s leader in all matters relating to the economic
structure of the nation.
When work was begun on revision Of the present
tariff schedules Grundy closed his offices in Penn
sylyania and came to washington. Since the first Of
the wear he has been working night and day in his
headquarters on the third floor Of the Transportation
building.
No step has been taken IN regard 70 tariit OF winch
Grundy doesn't know.
Grundy's associates say that his most outstanding
characteristic IS his thoroughness. He sets his OBJ
,ective and he will permit nothing to deviate him
from his course until the goal is reached. His opin-
ions ALWAYS are clearly defined, and he enjoys moth
ing better than to run up against stiff opposition.
His energy is boundless. He arises early in the
morning and is far into the days work before others
arrive at the office. He has a habit Of getting his
associates out of bed at 7 o'clock in the morning with
a telephone call from his office seeking an answer to
some question.
A WORKING MAN
Memorial day, while others were taking a holiday,
he spent at the Congressional Library digging out in
formation relating to some phase Of the present tariff
bill.
Grundy Is a bachelor. he lives with his sister.
when in Bristol, on a farm some two miles from the
city. He also keeps a house in town where he lunches
and does some Of his work.
He has but one hobby: politics as it affects the
economic structure Of the country. Golf, the theater
such things he has no time for.
He sheds his coat and vest when he enters his
office for work. II the day Is a little warm. off comes
the collar and tie. He Is al over his suite of offices.
II he desires something from an outer office. instead
Of ringing a bell and having it brought to him he
