comes to college slang.
Dance halls and high schools lend
their several dozens OF trite express

The student who voiced his feel

Smoked up" means failure to

Aired" expelled from class.
"Pestered mad" angry beyond ade-

Gets me down." thoroughly dis
gusts me.
String Of Remarks
But that isn't all, for the remark
was followed by n string OF more or
less sympathetic remarks-in slang.

palmer to "sing the blues" and aided
him by supplying the musical pitch
for a start.
"All in fog. gold brick, give us

asked the public service commission
to transfer $35, 900 from the munich

CHAP LIN CAN GET
MARITAL LIBERTY
FOR 100000
Attorneys for Couple Confer
on Financial Angle of
Separation.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 3. - A
settlement out of court appeared like
ly today as a solution to the marital
squabble between Mr.. and Mrs.
Charlie Chaplin. Attorneys for the
pair got together to discuss terms, 3"
and this, it was learned, was the sim
gle bone Of contention in the way Of
a peaceful separation.
Mrs. Chaplin, who has threatened
to sue for divorce, expects at least
$1,000,000 to refrain from filing ac-
ton against her husband and naming
a correspondent.
There will be no reconciliation"
| said George Beebe, attorney for the
1S-year-old wife and mother of the
two Chaplin heirs. 1--WE will demand
q settlement that will be ample to
care for Mrs. Chaplin and the chill
dren as they should be in their cir
cumstances.
Whether Mr.. Chaplin is willing to
do this or not, do not know. II
not, we are prepared to take legal
action to make him do it."
Alleged neglect probably would
play a large part in divorce pro-
ceedings against Chaplin. 1t appeared
today in light Of gossip In Hollywood
that during most Of their two years
of married life Chaplin went out with
friends and left his wife at home.
Chaplin's studio officials, however,
said there was no truth in the Cos
Il
comedians latest leading lady, was
the "other woman" in the case. They
pointed out that 1t was through Mrs.
Chaplin that Miss Kennedy became
the leading lady. They recalled Mrs.
Chaplin and Miss Kennedy were
chums in Hollywood High School.
Chaplin himself has taken occasion
to furnish more details of the
party" which preceded the de.
parture from the Chaplin home of
the 1S-year-old wife and her two
children.
He came home from the studio
late Monday night, Chaplin said
and went to his room. At eight
minutes after two, he was awakened
by NOISY drinking party" down
stairs and he called to his wife and
told her to get the company out Of
the house. This she did and left the
next day. The company" is re-
ported to have included the Baron
and Baroness De Precourt, whom
Mrs. Chaplin says left the home
after being 'insulted by Chaplin
The incident is said to have been
"the last straw, "climaxing extended
unpleasantness The comedian, 1t
was reported, never took his wife
out with him, and Mrs. Chaplin felt
this no way for a wife to be treated.

PATIENT WEARING
CAST SOUGHT IN
BOOTLEGGING CASE
Left Hospital - Thought to
Be Owner of Hi-JaCked
Auto.

Police today were hunting for a
man in a plaster cast, mysteriously
spirited away from Indiana Chris
tan Hospital, in their search for
the hi-jackers who captured 200 gal
'ons Of alcohol from lone bootleg
ger, Nov. rs, after terrorizing south
side residents and firing more than
fifty shots.
The man in the plaster cast. Ser
geant William Cox believes, Is the
owner of the auto which the lone
bootlegger, robbed of alcohol which
would have been sold for $4,000 at
prevailing prices, was driving.
The certificate of title In the
auto, abandoned when the hi-Jackers
forced the driver to crash into the
curb IN front Of 933 English Ave-,
was issued to this man, an English
Ave. resident.
But hospital records show the
man was admitted to the hospital,
Nov. Z, three weeks before the hi
fractured pelvic bone which he said
was the result Of an auto accident.
Think He Was Leader
Police believe he was the leader
of a gang Of rum-runners and that
one of his lieutenants was the lone
bootlegger who fed when the hi
jackers captured the auto he was
driving, after chasing him twice
around the block and firing more
than fifty shots at the speeding auto.
On Thanksgiving, the day follow
ing the hi.jacking incident, the
supposed rum runner was taken
away from the hospital at 6 a. m.
He signed the necessary release
for hospital attaches and was driven
away in an ambulance by several
men who represented themselves to
be friends, taking him someplace
else for treatment. Police have been
unable to trace the ambulance.
In tracing the auto title certi-
cate, police found the owner had
moved from English Ave- to Fletcher
Ave. He was not at home.
Woman Moved Away
That same evening the woman
with whom he had been living moved
away in a white truck. Neighbors,
who had promised to inform police
when the man returned, said there
was no name on the truck.
Police are uncertain whether the
man they seek was taken from the
hospital by friends seeking to hide
from police the only source of clews
to the hi-jackers, or was kidnapped
by the rival bootleggers who stole
his liquor from one Of his Heuten-
ants.
officers at first believed only forty
gallons Of alcohol was hi-jacked, but
a check showed that forty fve-gal-
Ion cans, instead of forty one-gal-
Ion cans, were transferred from the
wrecked bootleg auto to the hi-Jack-
ers' car
One Of the hi-jackers stood guard
with an automatic pistol as the
liqulor was transferred and forced
pedestrians to go around the ma
chimes on the other side Of the street.
