tary of the Noble County Tubercu-
losis and Health Association, an

uses seals this year that more might
be done to fight this dread disease
which is the biggest killer of any
disease between the ages of 18 and
35.

l
| MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1.-Lorenezo
Garca, hot-blooded young bull
fighter. has been released from jail
after apologizing for climbing into
the grandstand and trying to
slaughter spectators with his sword.
Considerably cooled of by three
days in a dank cell, Garca con-
fessed sorrow for his actions and
promised never to let it happen
again.
II did not object to the vile names
they called me-" he said, "but when
che of them hit me on the back of
the neck with a burning seat cush-
ion I saw red"
1t was at this juncture in his
performance that Garca deserted
the bull, vaulted into the stands
and took out after his hecklers.
Police intervened to prevent the kill.
Fans Heave Burning Cushions.
The heaving of burning seat
cushions climaxed noisy demon
stration protesting Garca's exhibi-
tion in the ring. Hooting and
whistling fans claimed that Garca
was clumsy, his footwork ragged
and his showmansf1ip zero.
They were convinced that he
planned to let the bull make only
Two or three passes before killing
him in a hurry. They wanted a
longer and more grueling contest.
With small bottles of gasoline
brought for that purpose, they
soaked seat cushions, ignited them
and tossed them at Garca.
