were asked their fathers occu-
y" patton, they replied "Kammerer
the Grocer" with no sense of
humble admission. II their
city, "Kammerer the Grocer" was the nneSt,
most de luxe institution of its kind in town.
Indeed, there we're those who moved away to
metropolises like New York and Chicago, who
found 1t necessary to write back to Kammerer
for certain delicacies such as exotic Spices
fruits that were obtainable nowhere else.
"Kammerer the Grocer was not just the
corner tradesman catering to the greenland
timed needs Of small neighborhood area
Kammerers baking, delicatessen, vegetable,
fruit, timed and staples departments were as
complicated and highly organized as any big
business
The stamp of Kammerer was the insignia OF
a housewives ability to supply her family with
the best
Aesop Kammerer, while he did not actually
serve the trade, could be found on the premises
OF the business from early morning until late
Mt night There were roomy If not particularly
Injurious offices on the rear of the second floor,
and he could either be found there, or In close
and careful scrutiny of the needs of his various
departments.
At NO time of the day, except the noon
"A hour was customer, asking for the
head of the concern, likely to be told that he
was out or unavailable. Kammerer, who had
built up this business almost single handed,
never relaxed his hold when success came.
Nine and 10 hours day, six days q week, he
gave it heart and body and soul importunings
of his wife and children to the contrary not
withstanding.
"Aesop Just think our children have been
to Europe six times now in ALL Don't you think
it high time we were entitled to just one holi-
dayF@
You're right, mother. That's what I'm
planning Next Summer wen join the young
ones and see the world"
Father, you've been saying that for six
years now"
IT mean it this time, mother. High time
Next year this time the business can spare me-"
also of q mind. Honestly, dad, it's up to you
You two darlings make us look snide, being
so home grown"
Never you mind, children, your father and
I going to France and Italy with you next
June. It's coming to US"
Aoi finally, although as mother said, she
didn't actually bslieve it until they were on
the boat, the Kammerer family, four strong,
did set sail for the European trip, which the
older pair had been contemplating, planning,
dreaming for at least two-thirds Of their mar
Eied lives.
The youngsters, pampered in every form of
travel and education, and to whom the voyage
was an old story, set out upon this one in the
high spirit Of the adventure of experience lead
ing innocence by the hand.

WITHIN "a hours after landing Aesop KAN
merer and his wife were being swung
through Europe according to the dictates OF
their two high handed, effervescent youngsters,
who were determined on showing them "how
IL was done"
The results need not have been surprising,
but they smote the parental Kammerers with
something akin to Inundated dismay. The
older pair who, according to all precepts and
precedents, should have been having the time
OF their lives, found themselves overwhelmed
with the most profound sense OF inferiority it
had ever been their Ill fortune to even conceive.
Accustomed in their home city each to posi-
ton of authority and social and business recog
nition here they were, being led around by the
noses so to speak, by two youngsters who were
versed in aspects of life of which they had
never even heard.
1t was one thing to hear Amy and Robert
recite the expedition of their Summer travels,
year after year, when they returned from the
long and luxurious vacations afforded them
by their stay-at-home parents It was an
other matter TO come face to face with these
wonders of European civilization; wonders to
which their children were injured, and stand
there as Mother Kammerer finally admitted to
her husband, Ike tive dumbeIIs out Of Dubuque.

counties. five Of which were carried
by Herbert Hoover two years ago,
when Love was the Hoover leader in
Texas.
Except for Dallas. his home

make better than fifth place in the
race in these Ho0vercraJ counties.
The Express survey concluded. In
Guiding Dallas county'S vote for
him. he was predicted IN second
place in the combined vote.
The canvass made BY the San An
tonic staff correspondent reflected
a definite drift of sentiment on the
candidates for governor as leading
away from Senator Love. The report
predicted Love Will not reach the
second primary.
Love was put on the democratic
ballot here last Monday over the
protest OF a large majority OF the
committee. when he announced his
readiness to take the pledge OF sup
porting party nominees. and an

Except for Loves strength in his
