BULL-FIGHT’S RETURN TO CAPITAL — (By Ralih 11 Turner, United Press Staff Correspondent) I City of Mexico—(Ry Mail)—Bugles J blared, eighteen thousand Mexican 'hro-ats tested the full capacity of | eighteen thousand pairs of Mexican i lungs, a gale swung open on on< side of | the pit and snorting bull, its head de I scribing a vicious circle, rushed out I into the full glare of an afternoon mm. The bull fight had returned to I Mexico City. Back in 1915, the Carranza government barred the bull fight from the j Federal District, in which the Mexi can capital is located. And for torr years the public had been clamoring for its revival. The authorities finally renelted. A propitious time for its return, they decided, was during the j visit here of the marines and naval | officers from Argentina, Uruguay and l;Cuba, who came to Mexico with their warships as an escort to the body of the Mexican poet, Adamo Nervo, who died while on a diplomatic mission to South America. So the bull baiting, in away, was in their honor. But more than that it was to appease the demand of the Mexican public, however, has not been apiseased. In an effort to be humane, the authorities ruled that the battle should contain all the trimmings of a regular finish fight- except that the hull should not be killed. And anybody knows that to spare the bull removes all the thrill from any toreo. Anyway, the bull escaped the slaughter house, but in their crusade for humanity the authorities overlooked the horses. Three of them, pitiful victims of a bull’s savage horns, were killed during the afternoon. But that’s part of the game, and always has been, so the paradox causes no comment here. What Mexico City wants is dead bulls. NOTICE. Have you applied for your 1920 license? If not, call at Durkin’s Garage and I will fix it up for you.

THROW DOT FISH AS FRIGES SOAR: Boatmen Waste Food as Market Sets Losing Figure. i REFUSE TO SELL AT PRICE — Fisherman Explain* That He Would Have to Pay Out Money If He Sold Hie Cargo at Figure Offered—New York Pays Fancy Price for Storage Fish While Fresh Fish Are Being Thrown Away. If a denier were to take a flsb and throw it into South street, New V ork, and repeat the performance twenty or thirty times in ti minute, and "ere to keep it up for fifteen or more minutes without even an attempt at rest, there would be something doing I he dealer would be held us a maniac T lnmsands of freshly caught fish are thrown away at Block island each season. To a New Yorker there is something horrifying about the performance. To the islander it is simply monotonous. Ever since he can remember he has seen fish thrown away. H< expects to see them thrown away. The fisherman always knows New York prices. If the figure given by the dealer is much lower than New York prices the fisherman will decide to shlf his fish to New York. Sometimes he makes money by shipping to New York, but again he will lose by so doing. Fulton market price* have away of rising and falling that is beyond the calculation of the wisest fisherman. Tlie schooner Susan tied up with a cargo in the main butterfish. Refuses to Sell at Price. As the price for the Susan's cargo 01 butterfish was too low, the captain re fused the dealer’s offer and made a de mand for barrels. The sorting of the fish was done wltt almost incredible speed. The sortei held a short baton, on the end oi which was a sharp, curved hook. H« stuck this hook into everything but butterflsh. He made only two motions With one motion he jabbed a fish With another motion he flung it into t far corner or overboard. The fish flunj into a far corner were whiting, a bone less fish that makes good eating. Tht fish flung overboard were hake, ant not bad eating either. The sorter madi no mistakes, though Tie jabbed into 8 solid pile of fish, and his motions wer< swift as thought. When a large part of the surface 01 the New harbor was covered with hak» thrown overboard from the Susan at onlooker said to the captain: "Are not these hake good fish nnt good eatin’T" "They be,” he answered. "Then why throw them overboard?’ he asked, “Well," replied the captain, "whnt else is there to do with them? I'm offered 2 cents a pound for them. Aftei I’ve paid for barrels and ice and pack Ing and freight and commissions, what do you suppose I’d get?” "What would you get?” asked tin Inquisitive one. , "I’d get a bill and a request to reml. at once.” Fish as a Fertilizer. "But fish,” it was suggested, "Is s firn- fertilizer, and the farmers woulc be glad to have that fish.” "I don’t doubt it,” answered the cap tain, "but I’m a fisherman and I don': own a cart, and I wouldn't be allowed to leave this fish on the dock.” “What will become of these fish?" 1 asked. "Most of them will sink.” said th< captain, "and the rest will be cas 1 ashore.” “What will you do with the whiting?’ “Not sure,” said the captain. “If can get any kind of a price, a prlct that will pay expenses, I’ll sell. If not overboard they go." New York is about one hundred ant twenty miles by boat from Blocl island. A fast boat will cover the dis tance in daylight. A slow sailer wil make the trip in less than twenty-om hours. Tn New York people are paying al sorts of prices for storage fish. Thej are throwing away freshly caught ftsl ' at Block island. There is certain)} something out of gear in the fish busi i nesS.

"A party? Count GOOD company, any time— Chesterfield. And here’s why. The finest tobaccos of the United States and the best Turkish districts are used in Chesterfield cigarettes. These tobaccos are bought and blended by men who knowhow —who have back of them the knowledge that only years of training and experience can give. New qualities of flavor are brought out by the Chesterfield blend. In fact, Chesterfields show the hand of the expert all the way through. That’s why they make your smoking mean something. T hat’s why they “satisfy”! Even the moisture-proof package is distinctive. And the blend can’t be copied! So if you want “Satisfy”— get Chesterfields. I
