MAI VISIT 0. s.
(By United Press.)
ROME. Feb. ?. ? There m a posslblM
Ity that King Victor Emanuel and
Queeu Helen will visit' the I'nlted
States in May to personally thank
the American government for its aid
to the earthquake sufferers.
The subject Is under discussion by
the king and queen and the cabinet.
If It is decided to do so the king and
queen will also visit all European cap
itals on a like mission.
'1 he only thing that stands in the
way of the trip Is the fear of the
cabinet that It would necessitate too
long an absence from Italy.
Why not be cheerful? Poor Lit
tle Herman has just recevied a con
slgnment of that famous Cream Rye.
A smile guaranteed with every drink.
