CHICAGO. — For a kiss she gave
nearly 50 years ago Mrs. Clara Mohr
Carey, 66, of H^hltnd Park, will re-
ceive a bequest of S500 from a lonely
bachelor who never forgot her.
Mrs. Carey, now a pantry work-
er at the Villa Moderne restaurant,
1904 County Line road, learned of the
death of her former fiance. Arthur J.
Machek, and ct his bequest from a
Chicago Daily News reporter.
Machek, who died May 7 in Mil-
waukee, willed the money to Mrs.
Carey "with whom I kept company
when we were both 21 years old, in
1899, and who made the only volun-
tary demonstration of real affection
I received in my life, and who gave
me the only kisses I ever got."
Mrs. Carey, her once golden hair
streaked with gray, recalled they
were engaged to be married. Be-
cause of a religious difference Clara
broke off the engagement.
She married Frank Carey, who is
a cook at the Villa Moderne. They
have a son Lawrence, 25.
But Arthur remained true to his
first love. His faithfulness came to
light when his will, disposing of a
$40,000 estate, was filed in probate
court in Milwaukee.
"He said he never loved anyone
else." said Mrs. Carey, who last saw
Machek four years ago. ' I never
valued my kisses that high.
"But I can use the money for my
old age. I've worked since I was 11."
Though shockcd to hear of the
death of an old friend, Mrs. Carey
was not sorry she chose the path
she did.
"Arthur and I didn't think alike."
she explained. "I've had a happy
life."
ODT Reminds Ex-Service Men Of
Strict Limitations On New Cars
Dog Trails His Master
Across Pacific Ocean
PITTSBURG, CALIF. — Tired of
being "the dog he left behind him,"
Joker, pet of Capt. Stanely C. Raye.
U.S.A., formerly of Pittsburg, left
home in search of his fighting mas-
ter.
"I was sitting in my tent when I
happened to look up," Captain Raye
recently wrote his wife. "An officer
came walking down the road. He
had a little black cocker spaniel on
a leash."
The officer told Raye the dog had
been wandering through the camp
"as though looking for someone."
"There was no doubt in the offi-
cer's mind that Joker was my dog,"
Raye continued. "He might not have
believed me, but he believed the dog
when he saw how he acted."
Thirteen wistful days in Pittsburg
were enough for Joker. On the 14th
day he apparently "stowed away"
or & transport, crossed 6.000 Pacific
ocean miles, found his master's re-
mote island post by an inexplicable
canine compass.
Raye sent a snapshot of himself
and Joker. Both looked extremely
content.

tention to speedy handling of ap-
plications in „ueh instances," said
the district manager. "But the ar-
rangement necessarily has to be
different in regard to new trucks.
"No preference can be given a
veteran who desires to acquire a
new property-carrying commercial
motor vehicle. To obtain a new
truck, it is necessary that a vet-
eral meet the same requirements
as a non-veteran; namely, that
the use to which the vehicle will
be put is necessary to the war ef-
fort or essential civilian economy.
"This is necessary because dur-
ing the war wholly inadequate
supplies of new vehicles have been
made available for civilians on ac-
count of the requirements of the
military forces for such vehicles
to carry on the war.
"Until the demands of the mili-
tary are lessened and truck pro-
duction increased, allocation of
new vehicles must continue to be
carefully screened to assure their
being placed in service necessary
to keep war freight moving and
hasten the end of the war."
