It is known all | over the world—like Sloppy Joe’s in Havana and o Dirty Dick’s in Nassau. The owner is the most prominent man on the Atlantic side of the Panama Isthmus. His name is Max Bilgray. He has been mentioned in many books. He has been referred as the kind who is a credit to Americans in the tropics. | : Max with short steel-graying hair, and with glasses. "He drinks gin-and-tonic, and sometimes with friends he drinks too much.

He says he isn’t invited to : some places any more, because he won't put on a - coat and tie. Yet he is a striking man, and one with dignity. He is not proud of himself. He calls himself just a saloonkeeper. || But for 20 years Bilgray's | Tropic Bar has had a reputation as a decent place, and a tradition of an honest drink for an honest price. “I've never consciously done anybody any harm,” Bilgray says. “If I have; I'm sorry.” fyi

Bilgray is slow-talking and rather quiet, ‘but immensely profane. His profanity is eloquent, prodigious, and it flows like music. OnE He was born in Austria, |His father, now 86, is still in Austria. Max sends him money every month. ; Bilgray has been married. “It was like a vaccination,” he says, “it didn’t take.” Today he lives alone in a large apartment above the Ford Agencies Building in Colon. He drives his own car. Occasionally he goes out on his boat, which he built himself. _

¢ TO SUPPORT MY frequently reiterated statement that anything can turn up in Indianapolis, I will now tell you about a fellow citizen with 42 tattoo marks én his body, some of which are as big as the pictures by. the French painter, Meissonier. : The man’s name is Raymond Kremer. He is the 30-year-old artist over at the Omar Baking Co. who |decorates the cakes for fastidious customers who want something special with which to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and the like, The Friday before Christmas Mr. Kremer had 400 cakes to decorate. Every week-end he has something like 200 orders, of ‘ : which at least 15 will be wedding cakes. In June and December there is hardly a week-end but what he has 40 wedding cakes to decorate. I'll bet you never knew that so many people pick December to get hitched. : The day he was married (a little over d~yedr ago), Mr. Kremer had 22 wedding cakes to do, and it kept him so busy that he didn’t find time to decorate one for himself. It wasn’t until the following New Year’s Day that Mr. Kremer got around to his own cake. The biggest wedding cake Mr. Kremer ever turned out was the one for an Italian couple who hired Castle ‘Hall for the celebration. It was a cake known to the trade as a Royal Pyramid, measuring 4% feet by 7 feet, and cost $42. I ; 2 2 2

. Easter’ and Mother's Day| keep Mr. Kremer very busy, too. Last year in the week-end before Mother’s Day, he worked 39 hours without stopping. That same week-end, the Omar Baking Co. turned out 16,000 standard cakes (7 by 7 by 3% inches). Not all were decorated, of course, but enough to keep Mr. Kremer and 10 helpers busy. If the cakes.are simple without too many frills in| the way of rose-buds, doves and storks, Mr. Kremer can decorate 28 in an hour. ' To work that fast, however, the cakes have to come to him already iced. Mr. Kremer is a Shelbyville boy and started decorating cakes when he was 10 years old. It was in his d—his father ran a bakery. When he was 15, Mr. Kremer got a notion that he wanted to see the world. Which is to say that he wanted to see how the

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22—For the benefit of those who are. feeling very smug right. now about American de-

The | spirit of St. Louis is no worse, and possibly better, than that of other cities. If has progressive, crusading newspapers which have specialized for years in exposing graft.

to the Finnish Relief

By Ernie Pyle

‘He came to the U. S, when he was young, and became a citizen. His early years were spent around Chicago. Like most immigrants, he has done about “I've worked hard all my life,” he says. “I've never done anything but work hard.” Early in the game he got into the saloon business. From Chicago he moved on to Denver. He loves the West. He feels, as I do, that the open spaces put something big into a man’s soul. : He was running a saloon in Wyoming when prohibition came. He eyed the possibilities of bootlegging, and ‘saw one of his friends get five years in the pen. “Huh-uh,” he said. He looked around Canada for a place, but that wasn’t any good. So he came to Panama, where saloonkeeping was legal. >»

Charities Are Large

He has owned and sold other places in Panama, but he has never let loose of the Tropic Bar. Two years ago he built one of those large, semi-outdoor gardens so popular in the tropics. It cost him nearly $100,000. The Tropic Bar has made Max Bilgray a great deal of money. He has had it, and lost it, and made it again. The stock market crash cleaned him of $141,000. He has plenty again now, but he’s not a fanatic on getting rich. . in “You can’t wear but one pair of shoes at a time,” he says. Bilgray. pretends to be a tightwad, but his charities are large. He has put two nieces through medical schools in Europe. He ships bums back to the States; he buys a refrigerator for an old employee; he gets some poor fellow’s teeth fixed. For five years Bilgray has had heart trouble. He

can’t even go up into the interior any more on vaca-

tion. The altitude affects him. : So he is easing up on his work. Most of the management is in the hands of employees. Some have been with him 19 years. He has a bonus arrangement for them. ; He hasn’t been to the States for 10 years. There's nothing he wants in the States. He says he'll never go back to retire. : :

rest ‘'of the world decorates its cakes. He joined the Marines. In the course of eight years he picked up some mighty good ideas, he says, especially around Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires where they go in for very dainty decorated cakes. Soon as Mr. Kremer joined the Marines he received his first tattoo mark, a realistic picture of a dagger on his left arm. A sailor etched it. Mr. Kremer watched the process very carefully with the result that when the picture was finished, Mr. Kremer had the sailor’s secret. Forthwith, he went to work and made himself a set of tools, picked up an electric door bell vibrator somewhere, and with the help of some inks (the only thing he had to buy) he went into business. For a year cr so he had a stand in San Diego and was known for miles around as “Prof, Kremer, the Tattoo Artist.” 8 8 2

How to Cut a Cake

In his spare time he decorated his own body. I suspect it’s the finest sample book of tattoo marks

anywhere around here. Mr. Kremer says it’s quite the vogue now for ladies to wear dainty little tattoo marks. Most ladies have the design etched on the wrist where it ¢an be covered by the watch. It’s as good a place as any, says Mr. Kremer. It’s four years now that Mr. Kremer has been working for the Omar people. Goodness only knows how many cakes he has decorated in that time. He works only with real-for-sure butter cream (powder sugar and butter) and uses something like 200 tools many of which are his own invention. He thought up the tool, for instance, with which he makes the border lace work on wedding cakes. The way he turns out a rosebud on a pinwheel is his own invention, too. I can’t hope to tell you how Mr. Kremer turns his tricks. - After all, it’s a gift bestowed by Heaven. And maybe the fact that he was born in Shelbyville had something to do with it, too. A lot more to the point would be to tell you how to slice one of Mr. Kremer’s cakes. Use a thin, sharp knife, and keep it clean of icing as you cut. Use a sawing motion and do not press down on the cake as you cut. I a small cake, cut pieces wedge shape; the larger the cake the narrower the wedge. It will pay you, though, to consult Mary Baker, Home Service Director of the Omar Baking Co., when it comes time to slice your wedding cake. The cutting of a wedding cake is a lot more complicated process.

Gallup Voters— : ; Say Liquor Laws Too Lenient

By Dr. George Gallup PRINCETON, N. J., Jan. 22.—As dry forces prepare to carry their new prohibition crusade into 1940—just 20 years after the Eighteenth Amend‘ment went into effect—a nation-wide survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion indicates that the trend in favor of a return to national prohibition —revealed year by year since repeal—has apparently come to a halt for the time being. : Despite the mounting number of dry victories in local option-elec-tions, - which marked the year 1939, the survey shows that for the country as a whole there is slightly less sentiment for another out-and-out dry regime than there was 13 months ago. Whereas a year ago 36 persons in every hundred with opinions on the question said they would vote dry if the question of prohibition were to be raised again, only 34 persons say they would vote dry today. In its continuous tests of wet-and-dry sentiment since 1936 the Institute has asked scientifically selected cross-sections of the voting populations in each state: “If the question of national prohibition should come up again, would you vote io make the country dry?” The trend of opinion on the question, with the official vote in wet-and-dry referenda in 193334 for comparison, is as follows: ‘Dry’ ‘Wet’ 70%

Official Referenda, 1933-34 Institute Survey, 1936 33 February, 1938 ...... 34 December, 1938 .... 36 64 TODAY'S SURVEY. 34 66

The chief reason for the increase in prohibition sentiment in recent years, Institute surveys have found, has been’ public irritation in some communities regarding the way existing liquor regulations have been enforced. Taverns and roadhouses, operating in some cases “after hours” and catering to young people, have been a thorn in the side to “wet” forces and a strong argument for the “drys.” The present- Institute survey shows that there is still a very substantial feeling throughout the country on this point. Asked in a further question: Do you think liquor regulations in your community are too strict, not strict enough or about right? more than half of the voters with opinions say “not strict enough.” The actual vote is:

Not Strict Enough ........ 51% About Right ...... areesees 43 Too Strict ... 1

Its purpose is ta unite the church membership more closely through visits of Northern bishops to Southern churches and vice versa. The Indianapolis rally will be preceded by one at South Bend Feb. 19 and one at Ft. Wayne Feb. 20. At all three the subjects under discussion will be “The Aim of the Advance Movement,” “The Imperative Present Need of Methodism” and “Evangelism in Methodism’s Past and Future.” At the morning-meeting in the Roberts Park Church, Feb. 21, Dr. Wiliam C. Hartinger, district superintendent, will preside. The three guest bishops and Bishop Titus Lowe of the Indianapolis Area will speak. Luncheon in the same church will be followed by a men’s forum at 2 p. m. when Bishop Lowe will preside and short talks will be given by laymen whose names have not been announced. A% 2 o’clock also, there will be a women’s meeting in the Central Avenue Church when Bishop Decell and two women as yet not named wi speak.

Just 20 years after the beginning of national prohibition, dry forces are again preparing a crusade for out and out prohibition. A nation-wide survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion indicates that while there is wide-

wins a return to out-and-out national prohibition is still the long-time goal of dry forces like the Anti-Saloon League and the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, their greatest opportunities continue to be in local option elections in areas where dry sentiment is great. Since beer and hard liquor came flowing back six years ago the drys claim 5000 such local victories. Comments in today’s survey indicate that the chief complaints

_ of those who think.regulations are

“not strict enough” are (1) the hours for selling liquor should be shortened (2) only packaged liquor should be sold (3) closing hours are not being observed (4) liquor and beer advertising is too flagrant, and (5) too much liquor is sold to young people and minors: Interestingly enough, however, a substantial number of these persons say they would not be in favor of a return to total pro-. hibition. “Prohibition didn’t work,” their frequent explanation
