CURIOSIDADES

Ell Santo Patron del Futbol

Todos los gremios y asociacio-

Los jugadores ingleses tienen,
por c%ierto, un santo, que no esta

ses por la perdida de su campeon
fue muy grande y ruidosa.
Ell asesino concito sobre 81 una
condemnation unanime, y recibio ell
eiemplar castigo que merecia su
crimen.

is a good deal Of measles around
here and a neighbor friend Of
mine was very perturbed when

She says measles are not seri-
GUS either for children or
adults. Is this correct?
Answer Measles in childhood,
if The child is separated from
others. is seldom serious al
though certain complications,
such aS running ear and pneu-
