American Embassy when they were
off duty. On this particular eve

arrive at their hangout they hardly
noticed Korean who had stationed
himself near the cloakroOm door.
When tine first marine started to
leave the cloakroom the Korean
pushed the swinging door into his
face. The orders to treat the Japs
with kid gloves did not apply to
Koreans and the marine promptly
picked the Oriental up and tossed
him into the street.
In a few minutes another marine
came into the cafe and the per-
formance was repeated by another
Jap Stooge. Again the Korean was
pitched into the street. This was
repeated five times. At the end OF
the fifth incident a japanese officer
with squad of soldiers behind him
walked into the cafe and arrested
the five marines for disturbing the
peace. They were marched eff to
Jap police headquarters.
Within few minutes an Amer
lean officer arrived at the precinct
to demand the release of the men.

Diplomacy as prscticed by the

Many interesting facts about the

When Japans last Ambassador to
the United States was on the way
to his Washington post he stopped
over in Peiping and the japanese
military commander there arranged
novel type of sendoff for his ex-

Take Marines for Ride.
Ambassador Admiral Nomura was
known to share the japanese Navy s
opinion that the American Navy
would not be the cinch the Jap
military thought it would be. In
order to show the Washington
bound Ambassador to what extent
America was unprepared for a
showdown and unwilling to fight,
the Japs in Peiping took a number
OF marines for a ride-certain that
Washington would let them get
away with it.
The marines in the former Chi
nese capital were having no easy
time in those days. The leather
necks are not exactly known for
their readiness to take pushing

W millions Of people rely upon bread
for up to 35To Of their daily energy.
But what you may not know is that
you must have Vitamin B, to help
transform the bread you eat into the
energy you need.
Science today proves conclusively
that it takes Vitamin B, to unlock

Now-according to U. S. Govern

This does not mean that you lack
Vitamin B, so badly the bread you

mean that your body cannot properly

must have these days unless you get

bread winter took it out.

upon the noble criticism that
should be leveIed entirely at the
ignoble.
We have reference to the con-
duct of a certain group of Shell

motorists that i n their wrath
over Shelby's losing of the dis
trict title to Browning, 8 o m e
fans of Shelby went about twist
ing off car door handles of local
ly owned cars.
A "mannish" woman of Shelby
was so devoid of the refinement
and daintiness of her sex that
she all but landed a "haymaker"
upon the jaw of a local player be-
cause bis brand of basketball was
too much for the undoing of the
Shelby team.

Of course, nothing can be done
about it.
Maybe it there were no athle-
tics and n preachments about

Yet. what's born in the bone will
