SLISMOSEIS STERLING LANDS ANOTHER JEWFISH Euric Sterling may not be the luckiest fisherman in Key West, but he claims to be the “Tops” when it comes to catching jewfish from the docks of the city. He landed @ 250-pounder this week. As usual, Euric felt the urge to go fishing and as the taxi busniess was dull he conclud- ed to try his luck at his lucky spot on the Porter Company's dock. He cast his line and waited. Presently he found that the bait had attracted a jew- fish and another and much larger one was swimming nearby. He waited until the fish turned with the bait and drove the hook “home”. After a short struggle the fish was brought to the dock and shortly afterward placed on the scales and weighed 250 pounds. “This fish”. said Mr. Ster- ling. “is the eighty-fourth jewfish I have caught from the @@tk. but there is one more f would like to catch. and that is the monster which was H®ar this one when he was iupht™. will consist of | | } ‘Twelve Children Attend; | But Small Percentage Of | PRICE FIVE CENTS Great Interest Manifested In Primary Election Totlay Whole; One Case Com-! pletely Cured i | i | Twelve children attended the | first Crippled Children's Clinic since 1936 held yesterday morning | —_—_—__ |by Dr. Arthur H.
