Several of these attacks re-

him time and again to relinqulsh

his friends to say nothing of his
condition.
Robinson suffered one attack in

delivering speech on Cne 1IooT VI

Roosevelt's Supreme Court bill. He

The real leadership contest lies

Harrison's selection see ms as

YOUTHS LURED
BY ADVENTURE
FIND TRAGEDY

Roucn. France -tU,R)- Young
sters the world over are SuScepti-
ole to the wanderluSt, which some
times becomes so strong that they
cannot rest at home. 1t was this
desire that led two l6-year-old
jouths to two accidents and a sui
eide.
Living in the poor mining town
of Northern France, Epreville-Sur-
Fecamp, they tired of the dreary
winter weather and the poverty Of
their homes and decided that they
were going to go to the sunny land
Of Provence, Frances winter Flor
ida. After some weeks of saving
they accumulated only IA francs,
and became so impatient that they
could not wait.
Stealing a motorcycle from one
of the villagers, they started out
for adventure. But after less than
so miles they ran into a ditch and
continued on foot. Having stolen
the motorcycle. they could not
think of returning home. Tired
and weary with hardly any mon
ey left. they reached Havre. In
desperation they stole motor car
and continued on their way. Again
fate stood in their way, and both
we're badly injured when their car
struck tree.
They hobbled to the nearest
farm and were given some food
and treatment, but the farmer was
so suspicious of their incoherent
tales that he phoned police. In
few hours they were on their way
home in the car of their uncle,
filled with terror at the punish
ment that awaited them for their
cscapade. Suddenly there was
shot and one of the two boys
slumped to the floor of the car,
having fired a bullet through his
I!sad.

ON VETERANS IN

Mexico City -UR)- Mexican
tennis players are busy practicing
for the North American Zone Da-

to be played here on April 30, May
and 2.
Eduardo Mestre Martinez, pres
ident of the Mexican Lawn Tennis
Association and known as the
father of tennis in Mexico, SAID
that the team would not be Sc

however. give a list of MeXicos po-
tential players a. follows:
For the singles. DR.. Ricardo
Tapia. national champion for the
past five years, is the outstanding
player. but he has been playing
relatively little recently. The Tapla
family is essentially one of tennis
players; Ricardo's lister, Maria, is
now the woman's singles champ
ion.
Another singles possibility IS
Esteban Reyes an Indian from
TlaXcala- who distinguished HIM
elf in the series with Texas play
ers for the President Lazaro Car
denas cup here about a year ago.
Reyes is now in top form. Fans
here call him "PajarO Reyes 'The
Bird.
rs for doubles, Alfonso linda,
one of the national champions
ran IS at the top. He is veteran
player and Well-knoWn in various
ections of the United States.
linda probably will have as his
mate Daniel Hernandez, youngest
player of them all, who diStln-
guished himself in the series with
Texas in 1884. 1885, and 1886.
Other players who might have a
chance to make the team are Fla
vic Martinez, Jr., pupil OF Un-
da: Jorge "Sordo" Acosta, a yeter-
an: Jose Llano. a veteran who has
not played much in the past two
year., and Maco MeStre, brother OF
the president of the association,
who is also a veteran.

will be played on the courts OF the
