52-Year Pork and Bean Desire to be Satisfied

1921

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.— With a 52-year-old appetite for pork and beans, the Rev. W. D. Marsh arrived today from Australia, en route to Boston. He has been in Australia as a minister and Y. M. C. A. worker since 1868.

"I'm just going to fill up on Boston baked beans and then go back to Australia," he said. Marsh is aged 80.
