N. J. Wed 14 Times i He Tells How To ‘Get Them’ EI Paso, Texas—Take it from Bruce W. Steele, who to been dlTorced 13 times and ts now on the verge of getting hts papers tor the 14tl\ time—when a man really sets out to make a woman love him, there’s nothing the woman can do about it except give in. “Women are all alike,*’ says Steele. 'Tve had enough experi ence to know. Find their weakness and you have them.’’ Steele Is a plumber He was fitpst, married—"Yes, Mary wa* the first one,'* he says—in 1911, and Mary di vorced him a year later. Then the (un, or the trouble, began. He was traveling about the coun try as a boxer with a show. ‘•We d hit a town and I d get a girl crazy over me and we'd be! married,” he explain*. ‘‘Then I'd I move on and she'd get a divorce I married some of the show girls " After various marriages involving girls named Ruth. Goldie, Annie and Rose. Steele married one Fan nie, In 1914, and stayed married un til 1923. Then Fannie divorced him, charging infidelity, and he married someone else. He was divorced again and a year later he remarried Fannie, who divorced him oner more after only a few months of j married life. A year or so ago he I and Fannie, were married a third j time, and now Fannie is suing once more, "Watch me bring her around." says Steele ‘Til bet she dismisses the suit. 1 can make any woman do what I want. If I want them to love me. they love me. If I want them to get a divorce, they get it. "A woman has long hair and short brains. Find her weakness and you have her. With some wom en it's music; with others, books etc. Just find that weakness and play up to it and you’ve got 'em. “I married Nellie twice and Fan nie three times as an experiment, to prove I could get them back. I’m out to beat King Solomon's record. Women who love me keep on loving me. The only reason they get di vorces is jealousy." Five of Steel's divorces have been granted in El Paso Others have occurred in Dallas. Portland. Ore.. Globe, Ariz.. Seattle and Salt Lake City. SPRV HERO OF *0 TRYS COWBOY STUNT Lincolnton, July 23.—It must have been somewhere in the fifth reel of the western thriller.

Jim Mauney, 80-year-old Lincoln farmer, set about proving it He trotted his sorrel mare out. set her to a gallop and leaped for her bare back. He landed, all right, but in the force of his jump swept him across the mare's back and he executed a neat nose dive into a rock pile. Today, he is in the Lincoln hos pital. He has a broken nose and facial bruises. "But I'll be ready," he announced, to try it again just as soon as il get out of here." »» » How “Hill Billy’ Seeks An Office Hr'll Make Bootlegger* Think Hell Ain't *8 Feet From Court House. Pari*.
