Circus Troupe's
Alien Mixup
By HENRY CANTIN

A Hungarian circus performer,
who ACTUALLY Is an Austrian, to-
dav obtained travelling permits
for his Chinese wife and a Russian
woman troupcr both OF whom are
Germans.
The strange case OF tangled
citizenship was unravclcd before
Assistant District Attorney Louis
NJ. Hopping The applicant was
Joseph Antalek of the Antalck
aerial performers now appearing
with the Greater Olympia Circus.
In compliance with enemy alien
regulations. Antalck applied for
permits for his wife. the former
Tschen Der DSaL and the Rus
sian performer, Olga Pedrotf, so
that they could travel 10 New
York for an appearance
FORCED TO CLOSE SHOW
Antalek. whose grandfather
founded the Antalek Circus in
Europe in 1900. was forced 10
close the show and Join another
in Warsaw. Poland IN 1882 There
he met TSChen then Is years Old.
He came 10 the United States
shorty before the bombing Of
Warsaw. Under European law. he
was citizen of Austria because
that was has fathers birthplace.
But under laws Of this country he
was a native of Hungary. his own
birthplace. Thus he Is not con-
sidered an enemy alien in the
United States.
Last year while appearing in
New York, Antalek received a call
from an immigration authority on
Els Island.
GIRL WAITS TO WED
There's good looking Chi
nese girl here who wants to
marry you" Antalek quoted the
man as saying,
Antalek got the girl released on
bond and married her in Chicago
that month. Because he actually
was a citizen of Austria. which
was Subjugated by Germany. he
procured a herman pdSSpOTl lot
his wife from the German consul.
Thus she became an enemy alien.
The Russian-born Miss Pedroff
married a German citizen in her
native land and went Immediately
10 Germany. where she divorced
him. When she came 10 this
country she was travelling on a
German passport. Thus she, too,
Is an enemy alien.
The Antaleks now have an
infant daughter. born in New
York. Thus, as Antalek expresses
il, "she is a little Yankee
When Hopping granted the two
permits, Antalek turned TO his
wife and quipped:
"Come on, you little enemy

CHAPTER III
Concluded from last week.

1892 by American Britain Rights Reserved
I Asst week was related what is known and
conjectured regarding the mysterious youth
- of Emily Flamen, supposed to be Vienna s
Venus in Furs," who was suddenly and violently
ousted from her palatia home in the Austrian
capital, to land at the age of II in America,
stripped of everything but her famous furs, her
beauty and determination to dominate others
Two American husbands rebeed at the petit
coat tyranny, but the third mutimionaire Will
lam A. Gilchrist, obeyed her like slave.
His subjugation seems to have been instan-
taneous and permanent, but the training and pol
ishing necessary to make him perfect upper

Gilchrist was in her thirties before she invaded
Chicago.
Besides being the best-furred woman in that
city, she was the most bejeweled Not until much
later was it discovered that her curious mixture
of extravaganza and economy included the i'm
posing tiara on her head, the rings and bracelets
which encrusted her fingers and wrists and the
ropes of pearls swinging from her neck. Many
of these decorations had slight flaws, but not
noticeable, unless closely examined, familiarity
which this naughty beauty never permitted
Emily thought Chicago soft spot from which
she could jump to the more difficult fortresses
OF New York and Newport. When a stranger
wants to enter of these society strongholds
is considered prudent to approach the gate with
modest demeanor.
Emily, however, demanded unconditional sur
render and didn't get it. But for while she did

having seen no evidence to support any claims
to exalted birth, they called her "nisbranded
Princess" interest waned and important invita-
tons were approaching the vanishing point Emily
decided that this was due to their residence, a
spacious apartment, befitting milonaires but
only ordinary ones.
Our home must outshine everybodys in this
city, Emily announced.

The final result was marvellous display of
museum pieces, all genuine, but each with some
defect which only an expert eye would recognize
Curiosity revived interest in Emily In order
to be invited to her home, hostesses had to invite

The guests were treated as though she were giving
a charity dinner to lot of orphans whom she
disliked.
This was nothing to her behavior when she
sat as guest at the tables of real society leaders
1t was at this time that she made history bv

then wiping them on the tablecoth Before very
long she found herself socially out in the cold,
worse than ever. One might jump to the conclu-
sion that this was "sour-grapes" behavior, be-
cause she was smart enough to foresee that her re-
entry into society would soon end and therefore
she wished to save her face by making things
look as if she had done the snubbing But some
doubts were cast on the explanation later by her

Of powdered grass, he contends, is
equal to nine ounces Of spinach and
lettuce.
Schnabel reasoned that If grass In
the Spring benefited livestock and
poultry, 1t ought to be good for man
providing 1t could be preserved in It's
green and tender state the year around.
His tests showed that young shoots,
whether Of wheat, barley, oats, rye,
bluegrass, or corn, reach their maxi
mum vitamin content after Is to Fl
days of growth.
To have a constant supply Of grass
at the right stage, Schnabel replanted
every couple weeks a two-acre plot
that adjoined his home. Each morning.
before dawn, he'd cut the young grass,
and quick-dry it over the hot air reg
lister of his home. This captured and
retained all its rich vitamins.
