Hobo Lives In Style
By Winning Smile
NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (I.N.S.).—The world is Al Kauman’s
oyster —and he opens it with a smile.
Al is pretender to the throne of Hobohemia. Says he was
elected king of the hoboes at their national convention.
Al dresses like a king, with spats,
carefully creased trousers, a sym
phony of colors and a cane.
He uses only / front doors—in
hotels, taxis and restaurants with
real cane backs. And he pays only
with a smile —so he says
Al is staying rent-free at one of
the well-known hotels in the Forties.
“Sure. Al is our guest,’" said the
hotel manager today. "He is a
pleasure to have around and he can
stay as long as he wants."
But Al is leaving for Chicago In
a few days. He is traveling de
luxe there to raise funds for a lux
urious hobo hotel. Then he will go
to Montreal to see his girl. He had a
"sweetie" in Miami but she’s out
of hie mind now. *
‘•Why Work”
"Ever work?" Al was asked.
1 "Why work if you have brains,”
he answered. “Money is the easiest
thing to get honestly, just use the
old headpiece and smile when you
don’t want to talk."
The nearest thing to work in
dulged in by Al was his appearing
as atmosphere in the movies at
Hollywood and some years ago as
a prize fighter-
"I lost my voice when I was
boxing in San Jose, Calif., said' Al.
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
"A blow knocked the talkies right
out of me. So I storied out to be
a hobo and roam the world.”
He knows all the famous people.
Al started counting them off on
his hands and then ran out of
fingers.
He tapped his wallet.
’Filled.” he said.
Tapping his abdominal region.
“Ditto," he said.
"How?" he was asked.
"Just be pleasant and everybody
will want to do things for you and
give you things ” sold Al. "It’s a
cinch if you know how to smile."
He twirled bls cane at a taxi.
Spoke affably to the driver. The
latter smiled back And in hopped Al.

tingent decree issued by the Ger
man government today.

will be permitted to be imported
into Germany annually. Os this
number, 160 will be allotted to the
different nations.
Licenses to Import the remaining
60 will be retained by the
government, and will be
among foreign companies tn prfy
portion to the number of German
films shown in their own countries.
This contingent quota is estab
lished for one year, at the end of
which the German government re
serves the right either to Increase
or decrease this figure. Under this
decree. American film interests will
be compelled either to leave Ger
many or operate at even a greater
loss than at present, according to
representatives of American com
panies.
Dr. Landwehr, who signed the de
cree. categorically denied tonight

vere. He pointed out:
