Al Cqpone's Father
Coming OF u. S. TO
Box His Ears

BERLIN, May 15.-The Ber-
lin newspapers today accorded
a tolerant prominence to the
claims of one Ladislaus Kapo-
witch, a Rumanian, that he is
the father of AL Capone,
notorious American racketeer,
and that he is going to the
United States to box Al's
ears"
The Rumanian, who is some
thing of a character in his
home town of GroSSwardin,
apparently was not in the least
disEaayed by the fact that his
oft-rep peated parental claims
have been -proved unfounded.
Il have not seen my son
for 20 years." the newspaper
zwoelfuhr- -Blatt quotes Kapo-
witch as saying when reminded
of this fact. II want to go to
Chicago and convince myself
whether my son is really the
notorious AL Capone who, the
papers say, is the worlds big
gest racketeer and a multi
millionaire.

MEDICAL COSTS
PARLEY ON

A new era in financing physi
clans service for the sick was
forecast today by Secretary of the
Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur in
opening the spring meeting of
the Committee on Costs Of Medi
cal Care at the Mayflower.
Group financing" is the spe-
cific formula which Secretary
Wilbur mentioned as means of
bringing adequate medical service
within the reach of those classes
of the population whose means
are small.
Secretary Wilbur said:
"Our people, poor as well as
rich, should have the best of
care when they are sick. We
must show them how such care
can be financed. Organization
and proper administration with
group financing can distribute
better medical care to more peO-
pie with better returns to those
who care for the sick. We must
not fear further experiments,
some of them of bold character"
The committee, comprising
some of the most eminent physi
clans and sociologists in the coun
try, is meeting to consider such
issues as instalment payments, on
both the individual and group
purchase plan" community care
etc. A preliminary report on these
topics probably will be made at
the closing session tomorrow.

According to Miss Dimond's re-
port, the modern working girl
does not map out her program of
meals properly. Most girls, she
said, skimp on food to buy clothes.
Their breakfast usually consists
of toast and coffee. Their dinner
is too starchy, often made up of
a sandwich, coffee, ice cream and
cake. They eat too little vege-
tables, fruits and milk.

Necessity. Would these secrets of hers
De worth money? Enough money to
buy justice?
That evening Cathleen told Julia
what she had done But she withheld
the reason, for Julia would offer her
help and she must not go on leaning ON
Julia. This was fight the CAROLS
must win for themselves.
III bet you feel like a goldfish In a
bowl in a Times Square window" Julia
said. Wouldn't it be stunning If the
diary clicks? Stranger things have
happened"
"If it clicks" Cathleen said in an
awed voice, "it will be fate"
She and Julia went to the Coral Cave
! that evening. Myra was there and Paul
Allison and Gil Graber.
"How's the personally condpeted to,,r
OF the Hall prodigy progressing?" Myra
baited Graber.
"Tolerably," Graber said. Halls a
complicated case to handle"
"Ken's not complicated" Myra said
Hes just plain cussed.''
Cathleen was summoned to Mr.,
DreWtS office early during the next
morning. His greeting was businesslike.
I've read your Declaration of Inde-
pendence, he said. Oh why didn't he
go on? Didn't he know her heart was
racing? How her whole world was
standing still, waiting for his answer
Il read 1t twice" Her heart Leaned
crazily. Il believe you have somethine.

You mean" Her hand f1uttered
up to push back her curls. You mean
1t might do?"
That is what I mean"
Cathleen sank down in q chair hv
the desk and suddenly began to sob
Now, now, Miss Carroll" Mr.. Drew
was embarrassed. you must keep your
head. There is work ahead fof you-
work that will require cool brain"
HIS gentle rebttke brought her back
with 3 snap.
I'm ready" she said, and smiled
through her tears.
That's better. Now We'll 70 on.
First, this diary for the time being is
to be held an absolute secret among
three persons-you, myself and q man
who will work with you on revision
OF the copy. He Is a literary doctor.
You will be satisfied to have him work
over the Declaration with you?"
Il shall be satisfied with anything
you decide"
Then we shall lose no time. You
know Mr.. Allison Of this f1rm?"
II do.p
You are to have leave from the Of
flee with pay. Mr. Allison. too, will
have leave. He wifi work with you on

Julia! What would Julia think If she
spent SO much time with Paul Allison,
engaged IN mysterious undertaking
she could not reveal? She couldn't do
1t. She wouldn't hurt Julia.
There is one other person who must
know about this" Cathleen said de-
terminedly. she is as close to me as
that other self put into my diary
"A woman?" rJDrew was dubious.
Women are poor repositories for
secrets"
Not all women" Cathleen corrected.
Perhaps you are right" He smiled.
I must trust your judgment in the
matter"
When do Mr. Allison and besin?"
To-day. Do you prefer to work
where you are now living?"
I'D rather. 1t may be lucky ground"

announced that Miss Carroll
would like to see him. Cathleen was
not to take her place rs Mr. Drew's sec
retary until the following week.
She now came into his office and
stood shyly at respectful distance from
the great carved desk. She carried un-

done up in white wrapping paper.
Il dont-know how-to begin" sne
hesitated.
Mr.. Drew gave her an encouraging
smile.
II hope you're not leaving us, Miss
Carroll" he said.
"oh, no! wouldn't do that unless
you wanted me to 60"
Then there's every reason to believe
you will be with us for long time.
And now. what can I do for you?"
His kindliness loosened her tongue.
DO you remember what you said yes

life story?"
"I do, indeed" The head showed In
terest.
You said 1t could be done by an anna
teur, and you spoke about a woman's
diary"
Yes"

She was afraid Mr. Drew might laugh
But he did not. Instead. he learned
forward and paid:
Put 1t on the desk. It's very great

was no one l could confide in. So I
pretended my diary was my other self
talking"
Has anything happened to your
other self?" Mr. Drew asked. ANY
thing-well, let us say dramatic?"
Cathleen's smile was slightly twisted
with bitterness.
"I don't know whether you'll think
It's dramatic or not" she said. But
Mr.. Tom Drew spoke Of struggle, Of
resistance There's that In it."
''If 1t proves of sufficient interest,
would you be willing to have us publish
1t as a book?"
Il would" Her lips Strengthened
Mr.. Drew studied her do you mind
my asking you why? You need not
answer unless you wish
II can answer you quite definitely"

essary for me to get sum OF money

Is the need immediate?" he asked.

''Then I'll read the diary tonight and
tell you In the morning whether or not
1t has any possibilities.
Thank you, Mr.. Drew"
Thank you for the trust"

ROASTING CONTROL
 COMPLETES WORK THAT NATURE BEGINS
Full Charm of Coffee Bleno Developed by Hills Bros
 Patented Process

Coffee, as it comes from the plan tations, is not finished product Man must develop the flavor by roasting. Yet very often, man spells the work that Nature began. For roasting is a delicate task. But there is one method that always roasts to perfection = Controlled Roasting, invented and patented by Hills Bros.
 AS the accuracy of the hour glass depends upon an even, continuous flow ... a little at time so a perfect, uniform roast is produced by Controlled Roasting = the pat ented process that roasts evenly, continuously .. c little at e time. This is directly opposite to ordinary methods of roasting in bulk. The advantages are seen, when you drink Hills Bros. Coffee. It has a flavor no other coffee has. For no others are roasted the same way. And the flavor never varies, either!
 Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in vacuum cans. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, "air-tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale! Always fresh wherever and whenever you buy it. Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can.
