MILWAUKEE, WIS. -- Smoking cigarettes is more than a habit with Dr. M. E. Gabof. It's a ritual performed with the whole-hearted enjoyment of a person who appreciates the full meaning of life because he once came so close to losing it. Dr. -Qatar's joy m- living is^ctoselp attached to smoUag, for he credits his ^ being alive to s cigarett* This geaiel. middle*Ced doctor, who prsctiess in Shore wood, a Milwaukee suburb, was reared in Austria. During the World war he was a lieutenant in the medical corps oi the AuStrlSh imperial army, spend ing tout* years on the eastern front. He did\ whit he could to ease the suffering of the wougdsd and to combat the dread typhus and cholera. He tells about one afternoon when he could control hie craving for cigarettes no longer. He walked half a mile along the shell-torn trenches before finding a friend who gave him one. When he returned to his station his dugout was gone, demolished by a shell. No wonder that cigarette tasted so'good. Urei fts Ike Dkralae. But war wasn't all hardship. Gator recalls the happier days spent in Odessa, in the Russian Ukraine, recently the objective of German war planes. "It's too bad it should be damaged," the doctor said. "The city was so beautiful It had pretty parks, wonderful beaches and a splendid harbor." Gabor^#** sent to Odessa in May, 1918, with 100,000 Austrian soldiers who were summoned to help the White Russians in their fight against the Bolsheviks. Except for an occasional sniper, Odessa was the only peaceful spoi in die embattled Ukraine. The A us trians occupied all of the available barracks, churches and schools. Although the fight against cholera continued, life was comparatively quiet 'It was like a holiday for us," the doctor recalled. "We had plenty oi food. There was bread from the rich wheat fields of the Ukraine. There was no fighting, and it was just like a picnic." Troops Grow Restless. But as the summer months passed, the idle Austrian soldiers tired ol the foreign environment. They longed for their homeland. One morning in October, Gabor was awakened by a soldier with the curt order: "Sir, you are my prisoner." Outside fellow soldiers were firing shots into the air and yellingr "Long live the revolution." It seemed the Austrian soldiers had taken a tip from the Russians and revolted against their officers, who were disarmed and made prisoners. Gabor was locked in a hospital room. The soldiers relented, however, and offered to cell off the mutiny if the officers would lead them back to Austria. The officers were equally eager to return end agreed to the plan. • Gabor returned to his medical studies at Vienna and Prague. He came to Milwaukee in 1920 and has been here ever since except for a sojourn in Vienna for post-graduate work in 192S. Ammonia Fails to Revive Her, but a Kiss? Oh, My!

IKYING HI'S OfeQura Syndicate--WKU 8e«fleiJ "7;T ^ Penguins Loll in Zoo Luxury; Turn Ingrates PROVIDENCE, R. I. -- Three globe-trotting penguins, spoiled and snobbish by luxuries, are giving local taxpayers the "bird." Months ago Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd capturcd the penguins at Little America and trundled them thousands of miles across trackless wastes -- passage free, board and room gratis. An unidentified Providence resident purchased the birds and donated them to Roger Williams park, where officials provided a special swimming pool and a plate glass and wire house. The penguin palace walls were decorated with murals in the best Antarctic tradition. Following a blare of publicity about the looks, manners and customs of penguins, citizens, whose funds financed the birds' sumptuous tastes, visited the park for a penguin performance. The penguins failed to keep t|ieir end of the bargain and produced an act that added up to something short of minus zero. One bird spiends most of its time stretched on a platform, facing the spectators contemptuously. The other two twaddle around resisting all kinds of pep talks from the sideline audience to "do something." Park attaches say the birds wait until the last disgusted penguin viewer leaves before cavorting in the podl. Anti-Aircraft Shell Harmless if It Mmmi WASHINGTON.--An anti-aircraft shtll which disintegrates if it misses its target, and thus cannot fall back with death-dealing force on persons on the ground, has been developed by tbe army ordnance department, it was learned. The shell is being made for both 37-mni. anti-aircraft guns and 37-mm. cannons in sircraft. The invention was perfected about five years ago but has never before been made public. The process is based on a fragmentation of the shell into minute particles. Although army experts d<7 not know if foreign armies have similar shells, they assume they have. The process has nothing to do with the kind of gun the shells are fired from. The shells are being manufactured on a large scale in American ammunition factories. hours.

Sticktip Mussed Up By This Bold Veto! COLUMBUS, OHIO. - A gunman approachsd Veto Capmta in his South Side grocery store, shouting: "This is a stickup! Don't move or I'D kill youl" Ignoring the warning, Capretta lunged at him, dragged the thug outside and held him until police arrived. Cocvtiit > ' i v* 1"' - „ ** *T*HE old place was called Corbin's * Folly. Some envious person had named it that when old Colonel Corbin built it toward the close of the Mexican war and brought his bride there. And the name stuck. Judge Corbiri had been born in the old house and now, at eighty odd, was as straight as a ramrod, fresh of complexion, and with keen eyes. Judge Corbin lived alone in. the big house with his servants. He had retired from the bench more than twenty years before when his wife died and had been alone since his quarrel with his only son. The occasion of the quarrel was the usual tiling--the son insisting upon picking out his own wife instead of marrying the girl his father had selected for him. The aon had died in South America years ago. To riiake off his lonesomettess the judge began, at the age ol eightyone, to write an<elaborste treatise on the Code Napoleon. Finding he needed a secretary he advertised for one and as a result now employed a young man of twenty-one, bearing the name of Lloyd Poster. But the young man who traveled under the name of Lloyd Foster was, in reality, the judge's grandson, Alvin Corbin, whose father the old man had cast out. "Llcyd" and the judge got along fairly well together. Remarkably well, in fact, considering that the judge was dictatorial and irascible and Lloyd was only twenty-one. In such an isolated and little-visited place as Corbin's Folly--from which the judge allowed him to be away but seldom--it is next door to a miracle that "Lloyd" saw enough youthfol specimens of the feminine gender to foil in love with one, but he dicL Her name was Mary Cranston and she was as pretty as a picture-- much prettier than many pictures. She was governess in a family living a few miles away from Corbin's Folly; an orphan without money. So was "Lloyd." Mary and "Lloyd" went into session as a committee of ways and means. Their living expenses were nil now. But if they were married they would, of course, have to set up housekeeping for themselves and it would take their combined salaries to support them in anything like the style and comfort in which they desired to live. They would have to go on working after they were married. Then "Lloyd" had an . idea. "What's the matter with my asking the judge for a raise?" said he. "That would help out some." "Do," answered Mary; "I am sure you are worth a thousand times what he is paying you--the tightwad!" "Mary, Mary, don't speak that way about the judge, please, because-- because. Well, there is something I was going to tell you before we were married and I might as well tell you now/' And he did-- the whole story: Who he was and all about it. "I don't know why I took the position at Corbin's Folly in the first place," he concluded; "the homing pigeon instinct, I guess. And now do you know, I have really become fond of the old judge in spite of his cranky ways. But if he had any suspicions of who I was he would show me the door' in shdlt order. I wonder what he jvill^siy when I tell him I want to get married." When, the next day, "Lloyd" told the judge of his desire, praising Mary to the skies, of course, he was prepared for an explosion--but not for the calm, meditative manner in which the judge regarded him; finally breaking a long silence by saying: "Too young. You ought not to think of marriage for five years yet. Bring the girl over here and let me talk with her." "Lloyd" brought Mary to the interview, and when she had told all their plans, the judge turned to his desk, saying: "Too young. Too impractical. No. It won't do. Good day." "Lloyd" came back from seeing the weeping and disappointed Mary off angry and rebellious. "Judge Corbin," he said, "I am going to marry Mary Cranston whether you like it or not. I don't think it is a matter in which you have any right to interfere!" "Oh, you don't?" snarled the judge. "Well, you are fired." "Lloyd" fell into a troubled sleep at last that night and the first gray light of dawn was struggling through his windows when he suddenly became aware of someone standing by his bedside and a voice saying: "Alvin! Get up." At the sound of that name--his own and his father's --he was wide awake at once and, springing up, sat staring in wonder at the old judge who, half dressed and looking haggard and worn, was standing before him. "Why--why do you call me Alvin?" he gasped. "My son Alvin's boy!" said the judge most tenderly. "You are so much like your father that I suspected and I investigated. You had not been in the house s month when I found out who you were. I have not slept all night thinking things over. This place is well called Corbin's Folly. There has been too much of Corbin's folly here in the past. It is time to end-it. In one year from now, if Mary and you are still of the same mind, you shall be married end here shall be your home.
