IN THE AIR
Good Evening.

Mixed with sweet scents
That permeate the air
Are odors of cooking apples,
Tomato and pear.
The scent Of clematis is sweet
And late summer phlox nice,
When along with them comes
The odor OF spice.
Cooking apples and tomatoes,
Cuke pickles and piccalili,
Are wholesome and appetizing
When days get bit chilly,
And along with sweet scents
Both spicy ana rare,
Are odors of chill sauce
Permeating the air.

of the United States Marines was
assigned to duty on the island of
La Gonave. a part Of the republic
Of Haiti. in 1925, he did such a
good job of pacificatiOn, or what
ever he was supposed to do, that
the black natives elected him as
their king.
He really ruled the island for
quite a while but as a Marine ser
geant rather than as a royal per-
sOnage. In due time King" Wiz
kus was withdrawn from La Co
nave and later was placed on the
retired list as a gunnery sergeant.
Among those who admired his
record as sergeant and ruler was
Congressman Flannery of Pennsyl-
vania who has introduced a bill
in Congress TO promote Wirkus
the rank of captain on the Ma
rine Corps retired list. But Ad-
miral William D. Leahy as acting
Secretary of the Navy objected,
saying in report to the House
Naval Committee:
While 'Wirkus rendered valu-
able service to the Marine Corps,
there appears to be no good rea-
son for singing him out and plac-
ing him on the retired list as a
captain. 1t might be used as a
precedent for similar claims by
others"
So it seems likely that the ex-
king will have to be content with
his present status as a retired
sergeant.

Hitler Scorns Meats.
Tobacco and Alcohol

BERLIN Correspondence of the AsSo-
ciated Press is Adolf Hitler a vege-
tartan?
Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, German Con-
sui General in San Francisco and former
personal aide to Hitler, asserted before
he came to the United States that "the
Fuehrer is passionate believer in vege-
tarianism and teetotalism."
He was quick to add, however, that
Hitler does not belong to that wing of
the vegetarian movement which rejects
not only the eating of all animals, in
cluding fish, but even such products of
animal life as eggs, milk, butter and
caviar.
Men in Hitler's encourage admit that
the Fuehrer consumes chicken broth
from time to time. This broth is Of
concentrated strength not found in the
average clear soup; whole chicken is
put through a straining process.
IF you define a vegetarian SO narrowly
as to call man who occasionally con-
sumes chicken broth a meat eater" a
daily associate of Hitler's said, then, Of
course, our Fuehrer is carnivore.
"As to the Fuehrer's own attitude-he
considers himself passionate vege-
tartan"
During the World War Hitler ate meat
and drank beer. He became abstemious
soon after he began his career as agitator
for Nazi-ism. His friends explain that
he found his head clearer and his stom-
ach in better condition when he refrained
from anything containing alcohol.
With Hitler's abstemiousness as re-
CARDS meat and alcoholic beverages goes
