Senor Only Wanted Money For The Bull
Houston—(UF)—Enique Sanchez kept thinking today about slinging the bull in his native Mexico. He hadn't done it so well north of the border.
From his jail cell, the small Latin-American laughed when he thought about having his own bull, a ferocious one that would make the senoritas laugh and applaud when he entered Mexico City's giant ring.
That was Enrique's idea when he crossed the border illegally—to make money so he could have his own bull and graduate from his lowly class of "novillero." In Mexico, a "novillero" or novice matador, is something like a bat boy in baseball—very small tamales.
But that money problem, it was grandioso for Enrique. So, since last July he worked in Texas cafes to earn his "bull money." When he decided that a matador-to-be shouldn't be working in a Texas cafe, the senor quit his job and was promptly picked up by the border patrol.
His claim to the title "Granerito de Mexico" made little impression on police. Unmindful of his talents, the patrol gave him a number and slapped him in jail as a "wetback." a possible mignomer with which all illegal entrants from Mexico are tabbed.
The National Fire Protection association estimates that last year in the United States there were 608,000 fires, causing damage of about $580,- 000,000.
But Enrique still plants. Back in Mexico, he said through an interpreter, he'll haunt the border cities. That's where the Americans frolic and spend much dinero.
With luck, enough of it should float his way to finance a bull.

Washington—(UP)—Roll back the calendar a couple of years for this one.
You have old George sitting there looking over his cup of coffee at is friend. Joe.
"Look, George." Joe says, rolling a lump of sugar around in his cup you're 72. Washed up. No disgrace. $\textcircled{4}$ us to all of us old folks." others maps of the city—for stran-
Today, at 74, Mr. Stabler is one of the best and busiest cab drivers in Washington; many congressmen who call the Diamond Cab company insist on the old timer. So do a lot of other people.
There was more to it, of course,
than a $10 bet. George wasn't ready
for the pipe and slippers and rocking
chair. And Joe's challenge spurred
him on.
"Tell you what I'll do, Joe," George says, showing a neckfull of red under the collar. "Bet you a sawbuck I can pass a cab driver's test."
The bet was on.
he bet wager.
That was in 1946. George Lea Stabler, a little white-haired man who had sold insurance most of his life, put himself on the spot. He had driven an automobile, yes. But not very much. Selling insurance calls for house to house calls, and the street cars and buses are easier—and cheaper.
"First I bought and read all the books I could get on traffic regulations," he said. "I didn't want to make any mistakes."
Then, steamed up with all this knowledge, old George adjusted his rimless bi-focals and stood for hours on end on the busy intersections of downtown Washington.
Passing the difficult driver's test was not easy.
"I kept thinking that if I ever did get to drive a cab I'd be hauling important people and I didn't want to bump off any part of the government," he said. "I watched people making bad mistakes on lights and wrong turns and stuff."
At long last old George was ready. He went down to the hack inspector and said he was ready for a test—all papers in order.
He passed the test with a grade of 100 per cent. The average is under 80 per cent—all ages. How much better can a man get?
Once in business (he owns his own hack) George decided to combine public relations with good driving. He put a flock of racks in the back of his cab. Some containing free cigarettes, others magazines, and

Now he drives about 100 miles a day, working maybe six or seven hours, seven days a week.
"I'm making almost as much as I ever made selling insurance," he told me as I paid my fare." And I made a pretty good living in that business."
"And how about that guy Joe—the one who bet you $10 you couldn't pass the cab driver's test?" I asked. "Sonuvagun still owed me," he
