During September of 1 :<:is. lie
fought on the Ebro river sec-
tion, an area made famous by
Ernest Hemingway in his “For
Whom the Bells Toll.” Miller, in-
cidentally, met and talked with
Hemingway during his tour.
After living on canned beef
and horsemeat, beans, rice and
coffee made of chicory and
ground acorns, Miller opines the
meals of the U. S. soldier are
banquets in comparison. Pay of
Spanish officers, too, is small—
$35-$50 monthly.
SHEPPARD FIELD, i . 20-
Making almost as mu.: mo my
as a buck private in ti. U. S.
Army as he did when he was a
captain in the Loyalist forces of
Spain, David Alfred Miller, pro-
fessional soldier, has turned
from European battle-fronts to
volunteer his services to Uncle
Sam. Now stationed with the
401st School Squadron at Shep-
pard Field, Texas, siti of the
world’s largest Air Corps Tech-
nical School, Miller is typical of
the many American professional
soldiers who are leaving their
posts with foreign legions now
that the United States is at war
itself.
Miller had to give up his title
as captain of the 78th Artillery
Battalion of the lltn Internation-
al Brigade, earned during the
Spanish Civil War, to enlist in the
Air Corps. He thinks it well worth
the sacrifice, however.
Graduate of Carnegi'1 Tech,
he left Cleveland in 19:17 to en-
list with the Loyalist Forces. IP

Probably some leaders of this
column are vitamin experts. But
for the benefit of those who rival
me in their ignorance of the
subject, here is a brief summary
of what the department of agri-
culture has to say about the
seven vitamins which are all es-
sential to our health.

But the thing that impressed
me most during my quick ex-

was the importance of milk. It
contains five of the important
vitamins— A, B, (’, D and K. Milk
is particularly strong in vitamins
A anil B and has plenty of C too

electric companies had built up power reserves in

power could be delivered almost anywhere overnight.
