As we StrOlled back to the air
port, I asked the question that
had been in my mind ever since
Harvey started that story.

over the hurdles?"
Mark nodded. ELSA Armstrong.
The face and figure that launched
a thousand hopes! Elsa the beau
tiful. Elsa the magnificent" He
lifted his tea glass in toast,
Hail, Elsa! Destroyer of men
of Mark Stevens in particular.
Would you like to hear what really
happened, Stu?"
l lighted cigar as I replied in
the affirmative. Harvey settled
back in the booth as he recounted
the story of Mark Stevens.
Twenty years ago, this business
of ours was just puppy. And the
master of that puppy was Mark
Stevens. His was the brain that
built the advertising business. You
really owe that $3.50 suit you're
wearing to him, Stu. Mark Stevens
lifted US out of the mire and into
the NICOLA. We all owe him plenty.
MARX built his organization by
buying talent where he found it, and
he had a genius for finding it. I
remember l was doing advance
work for Williams Brothers Carni-
val when I met him. We got to-
gether in San Antonio one night,
and the next day l was working
for him. Just like that.

some accounts that weren't too i'm

watching the master, learning all
the little nuances and twists, get
ting set for the day he saw fit to
move me up a notch. 1t wasn't
long in coming either. The firm
was marching, and I was right in
step
AFTER about year, Mark opened
branch office in Chicago. I went
there as copy chief From that
move, both the business and
mushroomed. Dallas, Seattle, Den

Five years after that meeting in
San Antoine, was head of the San
Francisco office. We had branched
out all over the country, but this
San Francisco outfit was second in
importance only to the home office
in New York.
"When radio and advertising had
a happy marriage, the Mark Stew
ems Associates really hit the top.
We opened a Hollywood Office and
began handling only the largest &C.
counts. I came down from San
Francisco to head the new office,

trips to the coast to give his per-

A cheerful Christmas note is
the news that your Christmas
budget can be made to perform
wonders with little time and eff
fort. Just write down the names
of friends who smoke; then visit
a neighborhood dealer. He'll be
well stocked with gay cartons of
mild, flavorful Camel cigarettes
and pound tins of mild, mellow
Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco

can even dispense with the usual
fussing with cards, due to the
novel space provided for per-

the wrappings of both items. Your
budget will like these modest
gifts. And your friends are GER

moments. Harvey continued, then,
asking,

I slipped at my iced tea before

Nope; he was before my time.

Droftees' and Veterans Guide
BY Moi. Thomas M. Niol-

For heavens sake, don't be worry
ing because you haven't gotten a
QUESTIONABLE from your local draft
hoard.
A lot Of you are. judging from re-
cent correspondence, and feel that
because the QUESTIONABLE hasn't
arrived you are in some special
(and slightly awfuD classification
already.
Well, that is by no means the case.
Local draft boards send out ques-
tionnaires leisurely so they can keep
their records up and don't build up
q large backlog. If you are only 20
years old, or even 81, there is a
good chance that you haven't seen
your QUESTIONABLE yet, and won't
for quite some time.
But sooner or later it will come in
and then, as you know, you must
fill it out and return 1t within 1C
days.
An item in the "Guide" last week
or so said that any veteran who
wanted his beneficiary to get his
insurance In a lump sum should
notify the VA at once.
That's the only way the insurance
can be paid In other than monthly
installments.
Correspondents already receiving
NSL1 payments write to- know if
they can get the balance in lump
sum. The answer is an emphatic
no" Unless the insured has in
formed the VA he wants his insur-
ance paid In a lump sum 1t can
never be paid that way.
From Mrs. F. T., Pittsburg: my
husband Is drawing the married
mans subsistence allowance for his
training under the CT Bill. He and
I have separated and wonder II
I'm supposed to get some OF that
allowance. Am n"
Yes, but you must apply for 1t.
Notify whatever VA regional office
is paying your husband the allow
ance and ask for the form for
spportionment Of subsistence allow
ance.
From J. r. NJ, Louisville: Can a
boy 1s years old who is already IN
the service and is to receive dis
charge this month be drafted? He
enlisted 18 months ago, and spent
no time overseas"
No. Any one who spent at least
one year in the service between
Sept. 16, 1910, and June "a. 1948-or,
failing that, any one who spent at
least 90 days in the service between
Dec. 7, 1e41 and Sept. 2, 1945-auto-

matically is exempt from any
further service under the draft.
From Mrs L. A., Marysville, Ind.
I'm the widow of a Navy man who
was killed in action. I'm drawing
monthly insurance payments, which
continue for the rest of my life.
Now If I die, what happens to the
balance of that insurance? Who
gets it?"
It goes to the estate of your de-
ceased husband. You have no say
on who shall receive 1t. The only
exception is: if your husband orgin-
ally provided for a lump sum pay
ment Of the insurance to you but
you choose to receive it, instead, in
monthly installments. then the bal
ance would go to your estate.

When Bill shows no signs of dy- ing, Tiny and Louie put through a routine of violent exercises to hurry along his demise.

Tiny, however, has be- come fond of the paintings and, with Bill and Louie, manages to catch Vickie before the train pulls out. With an ingenious surprise twist, the picture ends happily with Bill and Vickie in each others arms.

MISSING HOTEL CHEF
 CAUSES SMALL RIOT

The phone rang early this morn ing in the room of William Hugh es, manager of the Baranof Hotel, and strange voice informed Hughes that the hotel chef was being held in the city jail for dis turbing the peace and would be unable to tend his pots and pans. Hughes, picturing hungry parents and wailing children in the coffee shop, was quick to phone Judge Holzheimer and see if something could be done about releasing the chef
 Holzheimer, unable to stand the means Of starving people, phoned the police station to inquire into the matter. Davis, the hotel chef?" replied the desk sergeant. We don't have him here.'' For the next hour, Hughes, Holzheim- CT and the local police searched for the missing chef, but with no favorable reports.
 When finally discovered, Davis, the chef, was at his routine work with nothing more to say than April Fool!!"
 Big joke" agreed Hughes, but what puzzles me most right now is who's going to pay the $50 bond money posted at the jail for someone who wasn't there"

 Will There Be War?
 Maybe no one will mention the word out loud at Bogota, but war is the No. concern of everybody there. That is why the U. $. delegation wants to get the Latins signed up for the Marshall Plan to help prevent war by stopping Communism. But that is also why the Latins want to talk about other measures, too-to help pre- vent economic chaos f war comes anyway.
 The United States bought prac- tically everything Latin America could spare out of raw-materials production during the struggle against the Axis. As result, our neighbor republics ended up with fat dollar balances but almost no stockpiles of materials. Since they couldn't replace machinery and equipment during the war, by l945 their needs in this line were criti- cal. But we also had tremendous domestic demands, plus price in flation. So what little the Latins have heen able to get from us has made severe inroads on their monetary reserves while not satis- flying their requirements.
 Rightly or wrongly, many a top Latin American statesmen now an- ticipates another world conflict. It it comes, most of them will seek to have their countries participate wholeheartedly in the defense of democracy But these same men likewise feel that democracy's bright future lies in the Western Hemisphere,f no matter what hap pens, and that the best way to make it live is to help all the peo- pie in it to make living.
