This is the story of how a

valuable thoroughbred race
horse.
Several days ago the race
horse, Profundo, owned by Bling
Crosby and Lin Howard, develop

gave him up to die. Then he
learned that a mule named Ii

once similarly stricken, was in
nearby Buena Park.
Tijuana Red was finally To-
Gated, and a blood TRANSMISSION
probably the first attempted on a
thoroughbred of P%rofundo's rank
was made. The Argentine horse
rallied.
A second TRANSMISSION was made
last night. Today DIR. Louis j.
Cook said it was probable Pro-
fundo would live.
Howard and Crosby are seek

sentiment, and let him live q life

that people exaggerate the impor-

to one-fourth during the war months
and much more Swedish ore goes to
England than to Germany.
I'm addition, it should be evident
that free sailing of commercial
ships in Norwegian waters is of at
