LOSES HIS BOOTS
IN POKER GAME
-FREEZES FEET
SARNIA, Apr. 8.—Thought to have
lost all his possessions, including
his boots, in a poker game in De
troit, Jules Leymere, of Sombra town

There’s no more horn blowing than
there was years ago. It’s just done
at the steering wheel instead of at
the bar.
The car’s speed may be due to
the ass in the front seat or the
white mule in the back seat.
