Heels-Heterodyne for M. II. Van
Berg Of Omaha, knew how good
she was when he sent her out
for that first start, he certainly

But although there were 10
claims put in for Late Thread, an
other filly in the same race, no
one dropped claim in the box
for Wilma Van.
The haltermen knew they bad
missed a bet when Wilma Van
led Late Thread home in that
race by seven lengths at ISL.
Never since, however, has She run
in a claiming race.
Wilma Van has moved up
steadily in class. Her 10 rivals Of
yesterday formed the most for
dable field she has faced. ~
not only did she lead her nearest
foe home by three lengths, she
answered another question. Wilma
can run in the mud. She did Il
yesterday. That means she can
win on any kind OF track.

There's something for column this week; it's
poem written by a soldier stationed in Hawaii.
"a COLoRED SOLDIERS PRAYER"
Dear God,
I'm asking you tonight to think of me each day.
I'd like to feel that fight, you're with all the way
The call to followed, because thought it right
The cause itself seems haowed, in all my peoples sight
Perhaps I'm just fool to risk my life again.
Maybe I'm just tool for bigger, craftier man.
Am just cannon fodder? Some people say "'Ts So"
They say, why do you bother? Your glory will be woe
(However I've strong conviction that two wrongs will
make a right) IA
Freedom will never be ours, if we stand idly BY
This is no time to cover, it's case of do or die
When this war is over for myself I'll ask glory.
Great God, ask with fervor that we'll have different
story;
That my people stand to face the rising sun.
Who knows but that day has begun
That is why fight dear God; know that I'm not wrong
Before rest beneath the sod may all sing freedoms

Review. The second time was in
1881, when he organized his own

When he was playing the fam
Gus Chez Victor at Cannes,
France, he had occasion to en-
terrain the Duke and Duchess
of Windsor, the Duke and Ouch
ess CT Kent, King Carroll of
Rounania, Crown Prince of
Egypt, King Of Denmark, and
the King of Sweden. RE also
played the Chez Florence in
Paris and then returned to New
York for four months engage
ment at the Park Avenue Res
taurant.
In the first part of 1889, he
opened his own night club, the
Park Lane, near the Place de
I'Opera in the heart of Paris.
He closed the club in July of
1889 for the summer season and
went to Belgium to fulfill an
engagement. He planned to re-
open his club in the Fall, but,
because of the war, went to Hol-
land instead, thinking that
things would blow over in a
short while.
Lewis opened in The Hague on
the first of October and played
there for several months. In May
of 1910, he opened in Amster-
dam. Until May, 1941, he played
in Holland under the rule of the
SwaStika. He played for dane
ing until dancing was prohibit
ted. Then he played concerts for
a while. Even the German Off
GERS and soldiers who had OPP
portunity to hear him enjoyed
his music immensely. Cololed
music is forbidden in Germany.

Royal FavOrite
Found in Mite Spot

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Woven in
to the exclusive atmosphere of
one of New York's popular Night
Spots is a character well known
in European circles but not yet
discovered by Americans. This
person is Willie Lewis, band
leader, clarinetist, and saxi-
phone player. For eighteen years
Willie played Europe's night
spots, becoming a welI-known
and popular figure, making his
band one of the best bands in
Europe.
Willie, born in Dallas, Texas,
speaks eight different languages
as a result of his sojourn abroad.
Because of the war, he was
forced to disband his orchestra
and return to the states. He
now acts as manager-Waiter of
a well known night spot on Su-
gar Hill, and is a favorite of the
many freQuenters of that club
because of his lively personality.
1t is surprising, if not a little
bizarre, to find a personality of
such renown buried away in a
little club in New York. He pres
ents to he public a picture of
joviality and lends a touch of
the cosmopolitan to the club.
Willie Lewis first went to Eur
ope in 1925 with Sam Weddings
band and the Chocolate Riddles
