Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-06-14

Olga didn't approve Of her husbands po-
litical views and returned to Spain to divorce
him. But Olga forgot one thing-that ac-
cording to Spanish law, the father would have
complete control of the son she worshiped.
Tony was in the Army and couldn't con-
test the divorce. Olga, meanwhile had
slipped back to France with her son.
When Tony heard what she had done and
that his son was in foreign country out of
his control, he slipped away from the army
and tried to smuggle himself out of Spain. To
do this he joined a band of his fellow officers
who had disguised themselves like Gypsies to
carry out daring plan.
The plan was to get behind the Communist
lines with enough bacteria in bottles to start
a plague among the Red soldiers The germs
were carried in test tubes and Tony had the
bad luck to carry half a dozen on his person.
Tony purposely got lost on the journey to
the Red lines and wound up on the French
border. Unfortunately, he had forgotten to
discard the Walls of poison and Tony spent
the rest of the war in Jail.
After the war was over, Franco declared
that all divorces obtained in wartime were
null and void. Tony asked that the divorce
be annulled and it was.
SO Olga and Tony were right back where
they started from.
Tony went to Biarritz to collect his son.
but the child was better off with his mother
and Tony returned alone and sadly to Spain.
He at once took up his polo again His
doctor warned him that the strain Of the war
had been too much for him and that he must
get plenty Of rest Tony laughed and went
right on playing.
Now that death has broken up the romance
which Olga had always hoped would someday
be repaired, Olga wants to return TO the
United States. She would have returned be-
fore the war broke out, but Tony steadfastly
refused to allow his son to go.
Now. that the barriers are down, Olga will
probably return, perhaps to start a chain of
new romances as she did so many years ago

Of Tony liked Olgas bank account-he was
long on ancestors but short on cash.
They effected a business transaction which
would have pleased Mackey for its honesty.
Olga could have Tonys title by marriage
for $4,000 year allowance"
Then a strange thing happened.
While neither had married for love, it was
on their honeymoon that they discovered they
were made for each other. They couldn't bear
to be away from each other for more than
five minutes at time.
Olga bought gorgeous villa at Biarritz
overlooking the Mediterranean and they set
tied down like Darby and Joan. When their
son was born, the knot seemed to be tied for
all eternity.
With Olga's consent he sunk some Of his
money into motion picture company in Ma
drid. He wanted nothing in return except
chance to act in some of the films.
talent scout from Hollywood saw some
of his pictures and suggested he visit the film
colony. There was no harm in trying, so
Tony packed up his wife and child and came
to this country.
Unfortunately, his arrival in Hollywood
was timed exactly with the advent of the de-
preston If he had been a struggling actor
with no money behind him, he might have
starved to death. Hollywood wasn't bit in
terested in the Spanish Valentino.
Fortunately for him, Olgas securities
weren't affected much by the stock market
crash. So they just stayed on in Hollywood
and gave party after party.
To one of them came Ruth Chatterton, the
actress, and Tony was smitten. He even went
so far as to beg Olga to divorce him, but
Olga hoped he would get over his infatuation
and turned down his request.
Both agreed on fresh start and Olga and
Tony returned to Spain. Here again their ar
rival was badly timed. Hardly had they land
ed when the Spanish Civil War broke out and
Tony as landed aristocrat, had price put
his head by the Reds.
Olga managed to flee TO France with her
young son, but Tony was left behind, this
time as a soldier in Frances forces.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-06-14

Frank confessed that there was no one but
himself in the house, but wouldn't Olga share
1t with him?
Olga looked about her and decided that it
was love at first sight.
Frank the cautious millionaire, asked al
most as soon he proposed:
"Olga, would you marry me If 1 were
poor?"
I'D rather kiss the Blarney stone than those
frozen hps of yours
Oddly enough, Frank was delighted with
her answer He told friend:
Il would rather marry an honest young
wench who doesn't love me, than lying, flat
tering old woman who worshiped the ground
l walked on"
When Frank went to his just reward Olga
found she had inherited his entire fortune
Fortified with wealth, Olga was the target
for all types of fortune hunters She said no
to them ALL for she had plan.
Olga spent the first few months of her
widowhood in her vast mansion studying with
private tutors. They taught her to make small
talk, to dance to be a thoughtful hostess
and all the other things a woman has to
know to get along.
When she completed her course Olga
went to Europe to survey the field of hus-
bands. She struck gold the first night out
The cache was in the person of Don An
tonic Cabeza de vaca Carbajal, Marques de
Portage and Count Mejorada.

died
When her will was probated Frank found
himself heir TO fortune estimated at between
five and ten million dollars.
Frank now wealthy widower, with no
ties at all, wasn't anxious to marry again. He
spent much of his time at the window Of his
New York club watching the world go by
When he was a doddering seventy years
old, his rheumy eye lighted upon the svelte
figure of Olga Leighton. Some say that every
day she would wheel the baby carriage of her
employer down Fifth Avenue looking for
millionaire.
The rumor was that Frank sent out
waiter from the club to trail Olga and find
out where she lived and if she were available
Olga was brought before the aged million
aire and he told her that he wanted her to act
as nurse for one of his grandchildl EN-. OF
course Frank had no grandchildren, Or chill

Olga, the immigrant girl, had never seen
a millionaire before. He invited her to his
home and showed her his art treasures, gold
plate, flunkeys and footmen.

At this writing. some Of those
things have come to pass. a few
Of which haven't reached" us yet
but will before many months have
come and gone. One of the most
important which comes under this
classification Ia the new ruling on
replacement parts for automobiles
and light trucks for civilian use.
Under this ruling manufactur-
ers will be prohibited from making
parts which are not essential to
the operation OF a motor vehicle
and this will mean we will get no
more hoods. tenders. running
boards. floor mats. bumpers. hub
caps. clocks. cigar lighters. seat
cushions. window mouldings. scuff
plates. robe rails. doors, body
panels or other parts of an auto
mobile which might come under
that same classification.
And that isn't all; in addi-
ton to the foregoing the govern
ment 10 encouraging the repair Of
broken or defective mechanical
parts wherever possible in order
to reduce the requirements for re-
placement of new parts.
In other words. we are expected
10 have our starting motors and
generators rewound and the gov
eminent requests the rebabbitting
of connecting rods and the more
extensive reconditioning Of engines
before replacement parts are
ordered.
All this can mean but one thing
the fellow who doesn't drive
carefully or who allows a crushed
fender TO 20 without repair just
isn't going To have any automobile
left but four wheels. an engine and
n chassis.
As far as the super structure Of
our cars are concerned. we have
all we are going To have until the
war In over and the automotive
industry has time to change back
To pre-war footing. II We lose a
bumper, We are going to drive
without one for the duration. II
we demohsh a fender, we are 60

AIsab Needs Victory

In His Bid to Regain
3-Yeor-OId Prestige
Ey the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Alsab seeks
to regain his place as an outstanding
contender for the 3-year-o cham
pionship today against six, high
caliber rivals in the 32d running of
the American Derby at Washington
Park.
Mrs. AL Sabath's colt, seemingly
on the comeback trail after a two
month layoff because of a splint,
has the Preakness and the Withers
as the only major stakes to his credit
this season. He needs an American
Derby victory to counteract the
prestige Shut Out has acquired in
taking the Kentucky Derby, the
Belmont and the Classic, together
with several other less important
events.
In the mile and a quarter Derby,
Alsab must reckon with the pace
making of With Regards, the long
sustained speed of ValdiAa Orphan
and Rounders, the stretch driving
power of Aletern, the tenacity OF
Kings Abbey and the dangerous
ability of Anticlimax The Chicago
colt and Valdina Orphan are top
weighted at 1875.
Alsab will have George Woolf
aboard, the rider who brought him
victory in last weeks handicap, one
of two races the colt has won since
his injury forced him into two
months of rest
With seven starters, the Derby will
gross $79, 400 and will be worth
$50, $50 net to the winner.

Es the Associated Press.

ES TIE Associated Press.
You won't find his name among
the top hurlers of the International
League-as matter of fact, you
have to go to the bottom of the list
before you come across the handle
of Glen DreiseWerd.
Dreisewerd is with the last-place
Rochester Red Wings and his in
ability to win is one of the chief
reasons why the Wings are cellar
occupants. Great things were ex-
pected of him after his excellent
194l season in which he won Is
games while losing only six.
The lanky, 190-pound lefthander,
however, suffered IA straight set
backs before he registered his first
1912 victory at the expense of the
Buffalo Bisons last night in the first
game of double header, 2-l. He
gave up six hits, the same number
the Wings garnered off Bud Thomas,
who went the distance for the
Bisons.
