Germany's agricultural minister,

farmers keep growing oats while
the number of horses diminishes

Niklas says there are now 265,-

horses used to work. But the farm

acreage. So Niklas lowered the
price as much as 65 marks (about

one of history's strangest "bomb-
ings" to do it, but a centuries-old
spat between two Northern Italian
villages over q statue appeared

Let's start at the beginning, or
thereabouts..
In the year 1880, q long forgotten
sculptor carved out a marble bas-
relief of a sea horse. It was placed
on the border between the villages
Of Caravaggio and Treviglio.
Early in the 18th century, ire.
viglians snatched the sculpture
| and placed it in a niche in their
| ancient palace wall.
This ranked Caravaggio fol
some 900 years. Last Feb. "a, com.

carving off to Caravaggio.
Now for the bombing.
Sunday night three planes from
Treviglio scared over Caravaggio.
Thirty live chickens and live pig,

Softened by this generosity, the
Caravaggio Town Council met

Chapter Is

TT WAS shortly before dark
! when Brindle left Ensenada.
His instructions to Sally were to
keep an eye on bursts boat and
to try to get q line on Guam Chez.
He had given her his gun and ex-
planned how to use it. All this
appealed to her sense Of melo-
drama, especially having the gun.
She would be in no real danger
as long as she stuck to observing
and didn't try any heroics.
Tijuana was still a long way
OF. He began making better time.
Dusk began to deepen into night.
About twenty minutes out of En-
senada, dark blue sedan began
to pass him at breakneck speed.
One Of the two men in the front
seat waved an arm at Brindle,
motioning for him to stop. The
Pontiac cut in, forcing him to
twist the wheel and jam on the
brakes.
His hand went to his shoulder
holster by instinct. It was empty;
Sally had his gun. His fingers
quickly CROPPED along the floor.
Against the base of the seat he
found a short jack handle and
hastily showed it up the right
sleeve Of his coat. The two men
leaped from their car and a sec
ond later had taken positions on
either side OF him.
They were Americans, the
roughneck variety. The shorter
one with clipped blond hair
opened the right-hand door of the
car and slipped onto the; seat be-
side Brindle. He was a mousy-
looking kid. but there was moth
ing mousy in the way he held a
gun. His companion was a stocky
man with a bald head and over
size lips. He leaned an elbow on
the base OF the drivers window.
whats the gaff?" Brindle
growled.
that's what we want to know"
the man with the lips grunted.

he took up his former pose, the
hashlight shining on the billfold.
"A dick. eh?" he grinned. "Ain't
that nice. How about that, Frank?
A dick"
Frank S mind was elsewhere.
Ar.. Lips became suspicious
when Re did not get even snort
aus Of his companion. He flashed
tns light IN the car. Before he
had tirse 20 react Brindle raised
the gun.
"Hoid it, chum."
he relieved the man Of q hol-
steEed gun and took back his bill
fold. Mr.. Lips stared viciously.
Keeping his eyes and gun on the
man, Brindle CROPPED with his
right arm to open the far door,
and then managed to shove the
body out Of the car. It tumbled
Imply and landed with a thud
and a scraping of heels.
He was a green kid" Brindle
laughed. aYou shouldn't have
trusted him."
He forced the other man back.
and got out of the car. There
might be another gun in their
car. but he didn't want to take
time to find it. Approaching the
sedan, he reached through the
open window to the dashboard.

The man turned slowly, his
puffy lips sullen. He started to
walk.
Brindle dropped back to his
own car, tossed the Pontiac's igni-
ton key into the weeds, and
started the engine.
A moment later Mr.. Lips was
far behind on the road.

SSafety
Notes
BY BILL GIBB

(Rsleased ny The KwPD In
The Interest Of Public safety
It is an unfortunate fact that
whiskey, beer, and wine cause
many of today's law enforcement
problems. The term unfortunate"
is used because there doesn't seem
to be any immediate solution to
the trouble. The country tried pro.
hibition and discovered that it ag-
gravated the situation by introduce
ing such things as gangsters. hi
jackers, racketeers. etc. into the
picture.
There are perhaps forty or fifty
million drinkers in the u. S. OF
this number, about five million are
alcoholics who are continually in
trouble - mentally. morally, or
physically. Their future safety lies
in complete sobriety because if
they continue to attempt to drink
like q normal man. they are head.
ed for an insane asylum, penitent-
larry, or the grave.
As for the so-called normal
drinker" - there just amt no such
animal. The stimulating and then
depressing effects of alcohol make
its users alternate between impul-
sive rashness and exasperating
stupidity. That Is why q man who
Is q machinist for instance. viii

The mouse cracked the gun in
Brindle's ribs. "You and Bob
Hope" he said.
I'VE hear you been inquiring
after Guam Chee," Mr.. Lips said
coolly. Maybe you'll tell us
why"
Brindle wondered if Senior So
lares had grapevined that piece
of information. No, more proba-

any rate, Mr.. Guam Chez seemed
to be a man with a bad con-
science.

Brindle obediently reached into

He could feel the weight of the
