You re Telling Ne -
BY WILLIAM RIFT
In TOday's Mail

DEAR MR.. EDITOR:
AS one of the tiredest, as well
as best-known citizens of this fair
community. I wish to protest
against what people have done to
winter. They've taken all the fun
out of it.
Winter used to be the lazy mans
season-when he could spend all
his leisure time stretched out in
an easy chair before a cozy fire
and no one criticized him for it.,
because that was the way every
body spent his winter.
And now look what's happened.
There's more doing than there
used to be in summer. What with
such neW-fangled sports Ito Amer
ica. at leaSD as skiing, figure Skat-
ing, bob Shedding and the like, a
fellow does not have time to build
fire in the CRATE, much less re-
lax before it.
People who ought to be relaxed
with a good book in the warmth
of their homes nowadays are rush
ing around the sleet-covered coun-
try looking for mountains to jump
off on a pair of oversized tooth
picks.
IF they don't break their neckS
on skis they turn to figure skating.
In the old days the ability to stand
on ice skates two minutes was con-
sidered pretty good stuff. But now
anyone who can't write his full
name and address with his feet
on a sheet of ice is a sissy.
No, sir. I don't like it and l
would write a much longer letter
in protest of this foolishness, only
l haven't time. You see, three pals
have just dropped in and want me
to make a fourth on a bob sled
dash down Break Neck mountain.
Boy, won't we have fun. Sincerely,
YAWN YAWNSON.

 MANY VICTIMS
Insurgents Keep Bombard- ment Up for Ninth
 Consecutive Day

MADRID, Spain, April 20. - In- surgent guns poured shell after shell into downtown Madrid, last night, in what the Spanish Gov ernment officers believe was "an earnest effort to create havoc in the city regardless of losses to life or property
 The bombardment took many victims, officials said, causing ex- tensive damage to buildings along Granvia, the Capitals principal business street.
 This is the ninth consecutive day of heavy smelling, and as the dis patch was being written, another explosion in the street sent piece of pavement hurtling through the door of the building where news papermen were working. A brilliant moonlight illuminated the town, aiding the Insurgent gunners.
