GEN. GARCIA had cheated
death once before. In 1873,
while he was fighting the Ten
Years War" of rebellion In
Cuba, he was surrounded and
faced capture. He felt that
death would be more honor
able, and put the barrel of his
pistol into his mouth and
fred.
e The bullet came out through
his forehead. His captors
carted what they thought was
his lifeless body to the nearest
town, but the general sur
vived. He was taken to Spain
a prisoner, pardoned six years
later, and Immediately re-
turned to start another revo-
luton.
He was captured again and
] this time was imprisoned for
Is years. He escaped from
Spain, fed to New York, fitted
out an expedition to Cuba, and
started his third revolt, this
time successfully.
In 1922, a group Of Masons
came to Washington from
Cuba and installed the plaque
to Gen. Garcia's memory on
the corner of the Raleigh.
Two hotel employees who
helped draw aside the curtain
at the dedication still work
there. Ed Hammer is resident
manager and Emory Martin is
room clerk.
The plaque, at about eye
level, points out that Gen.
Garcia was a Master Mason,
and that the memorial was
erected by "the Masons Of
Cuba to be cared for by the
Masons of the United States. "

the year after Gen. Garcia
died, was written originally for
a railroad advertising pamph-
let, but 1t became a best-seller.
When the war ended, Gen.
Garcia came to the United
States as head of a commits
sion to talk with President
Mckinley about the future Of
Cuba.
But shortly after he arrived
in Washington, he caught
pneumonia and died. The
Stars story of his death be-
gan this way:
Like the valiant soldier he
had proved himself to be time
and again during Cuba's long
struggle for freedom from
Spanish rule, Gen. Calixto
Garcia, distinguished and
world renowned, died fighting.
He passed away yesterday
morning shortly after 10
o'clock, his soul taking fight
with the paeans Of praise to
God arising at this hour from
the churches Of his native
land and the foreign soil on
which HI died.
"The warriors last struggle
was an uneven one, for allied
against him was the army of
disease. climatic conditions
unfavorable to his tempera-
ment and a constitution
broken by the many attacks
he had formerly withstood
and from long service in the
tropical fields. -"

County officials Talk to League of Women Voters

More people, more problems

dinner meeting at Bainbridge
last Tuesday night, Sept. Is.
Before being required to put
on their thinking caps, the
League women, their husbands
and guests were served a de-
liciouS ham dinner by the wo-
men of the Bainbridge Commu-
nifty Church A brief business
meeting was presided over by
Vice President Mrs. Frank Car

Sence of League President Mrs.

Mrs. Charles Osbourn, pro-
gram chairman, then introduced
the panel of speakers and pro-
vided them with questions in
which the League was particu-
larly interested. Unfortunately
Geauga Chamber of Commerce
President, Mr.. Cliff Erickson,
was unable to participate be-
cause of illness.
Mr.. Leland D. Schuler, Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent, and Mr..
William Burns of the County
Commissioners discussed Coun-
ty Planning and the study which
is presently being conducted
with regard to the type of plan
ming best for Geauga's present
and future needs. Since the
League has included planning
as one of its studies this year,
and feels the urgent need for it,
Mr.. Burns also explained the
proposed Courthouse and Jail
Annex Bond which will appear
on the November ballot. He
noted that all of the county
buildings are practically in the
prehistoric category and it is
the opinion of the Commission
erS that the most practical be-
ginning is new jail. This in
turn would leave the pesent
Sheriff's quarters vacant and
available for use as a children's
receiving home.
Judge Robert Ford of the
Juvenile Court and Mr.. James

divorce is less harmful than
losing one by death because

Certainly there are cases
where one parent or both must
be regarded as so dangerous

2. In many cases, the mother

4. The child may play one
