"She's nice. But i think we
sort of bother her. We've
moved the furniture three times
already. She's single"
As Kitty says, that tells the
whole story. Three married
women. their husbands evil

A COUPLE Of thoroughly re-

and decrepit individual barged

Naturally they expected a
hard-luck story. and automatic

lively.
The bum was insulted.

A LOT OF important people

sales manager for General
Foods.
But Doc, IL he could have
known about IL, would have
I. been pleased at the presence of
one man who slipped In quietly.
He was George Danaskas, n

that waiter u one Of the
keenest judges OF human ma

sooner and more surely than
anyone else.
The way we look at II,
George, the waiter, was paying
Carroll the highest kind Of a
compliment just by being there.
WE WERE rather interested
20 hear about a one-man cam
paign being put on in behalf OF
soldiers who are stationed far
from home-in California, for
instance.
The campaigner is a Fred
Engleberg OF Detroit. He's a
German by birth and had mill
tary training in Germany. In
fact. when ne was indicted into
the American army, he had a
lot OF trouble. For the first
few days, every time he heard
the order, Forward march,"
he automatically started goose
stepping He couldn't help it.
He'd already been investi-
gated thoroughly before he got
into the army but the goose
stepping made people suspicious.
He explained that he was a
German jew and that cleared
up the suspicion.
That's best de the point,
though. He's out of the army
again, but has been worrying
about far-from-home soldiers.
. So he's been writing TO con-
Ngressmen inquiring why a
- travel allowance wasn't given
10 men when they had to go
1000 or 1000 miles 10 get home
on furlough.
With so much money being
spent, Engleberg feels, why not
add q little more? AS IL is, the
fellows who 60 10 camps near
home are lucky and the ones
posted far away have a hard
time raising railroad fare out Of
their S50-per. We understand
that some of the officials are
giving a kindly ear TO his sug-
gestion.
