PASTOR NORRIS|ARTZONA NEEDS
Goes ON TRIAL; ELEVEN MILLION
PLEADS DANGER TO RUN A YEAR


COURT HOUSE, AUSTIN. Tex, Jan,
IL R)-Dr. ]. Frank Norris, noted
fundamentalist pastor of Fort Worth,
went to trial for his life in district
court here today with the law OF
apparent danger" as the chief pillar
of his defense Five jurors had been
selected by 4:SO p m.
Questions put 20 prospective jury
men by defense attorneys revealed
that Norris lawyers will draw d
sharp distinction between apparent
danger and actual danger" and
that they will lodge their defense in
that phase 'of Texas criminal law,
which says that man need not be
in actual danger of his life TO
justify him in using extreme means
for his protection, but need be only
in such danger that, viewing the
circumstances from position and rlen-
tai attitude of the defendant, he had
a reasonable belief that his life was
endangered The questions to pros
pective jurors indicated that Norris
will contend he believed he was
about to be killed when D. e. Chips
entered his church office, on July
II, last, and that for this reason he
shot Chipps.
Selection of a jury went forward
rapidly, once the case got under way.
Both sides made their decisions on
jurymen, with little contention. Ex-
amining veniremen at the rate of
about four an hour, the first 20
veniremen yielded five jurors.
Examination of the panel disclosed
that many prospective jurors had been
receiving copies of DR.. Norris paper,
The Searchlight, unsolicited. A dozen
of the veniremen said the 2apor was
coming to their homes by mail and
that they had not subscribed Tor it.
The publication carries DR. Norris
sermons and has at various times
printed articles relating to the kill
ing of Chipps and the events leading
up to the tragedy. A few had heard
Norris, or his attorneys discuss the
case over the radio.
Veniremen were asked their ideas
of self-defense and especially of the
right of a minister to defend him
self Several men We're dismissed
because they insisted they wou!d re-
quire the defendant to prove that he
was in actual danger
All were asked to STATE their church
affiliations, several whether they
We're members of the Ku Klux Klan,
and one man who had been a preach
err was questioned ahout his beliefs
on evolution and fundamentalism.
This prospective juror, ]. Il. Wood,
former preacher, said he believed he
had been created by God and did
not come up from monkey"
Two of the first five jurors are
labors, one has just retired as sheriff,
one works in a dairy and The fifth
is retired.

POISON Rum
LAID
To- CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. -B B - Con-
gress has required the use of poison
denautrants for industrial alcohol,
Secretary Mellon today informed the
senate in reply to it's request for in
formation on the subject
The treasury does not wish to use
dangerous substances as deanturants, .
Mellon said, but congress has imposed
upon the treasury the duty of specify
ing an effective denaturant readily
available to industry
Wood alcohol is the simplest de-
naturant" meeting the requirements of
the law, the secretary said, and while
the treasury has been searching for
years for substitute none has been
found.
"rhe treasury feels, then" he de-
clared, chat it has not the discretion,
under existing laws, to abandon an
effective denaturant in favor of one
not harmful, but Ineffective"
AS for the senate's request for any
correspondence exchanged between
Wayne b. Wheeler, general counsel of
the Anti-Saloon league, and the treas
ury regarding the use of poison dena-
turants, Mellon advised that there was
none. The oa,y Aati-Saloon league
correspondence on file in this con-
nection, he said swaa a recent telegram
from Atticus WEBB of Texas, superin-
tendent, protesting against the removal
of poison from industrial alcohol
While the senate was receiving the
report of Mellon, one of his chief Neu-.
tenants, Assistant Secretary Andrews,
in charge of prohibition enforcement,
was explaining to the house ways and
means committee the administration
proposal for the purchase and manu-
facture of medicinal whisky.
The plan Immediately drew the op-
position of Representative Garner of
Texas, ranking democrat on the COM
mittee, who declared it would not only
create government monopoly, but
proposed a "gratuity of $6,60O,O00 to-
whisky spectators" whom he said
hold so per cent of present medicinal
liquor stocks.
Wayne B. Wheeler, in statement
tonight, said that MELONS report vim
dicates our position with reference to
denatured alcohol"

'O.F COMEDIAN
UP IN. DIVORCE

Los ANGELES Jan. tH9-Domes-
tic storm clouds continued to gather
in Beverly Hills today above the sep
arate dwellings Of Charles Spencer
Chaplin and his estranged wife. the
former Lfta Grey, as attorneys for the
film comedian started preparation of
a counter action to the singing suit
filed by Mrs Chaplin yesterday.
Lloyd Wright, Chaplins counsel,
said the public could "rest assured"
that his client would fight every
charge contained in the divorce COM
plant The comedian himself is en-
route to New York on important busi-
ness connected with his motion picture
interests, but is expected to return
here soon.
Wright reiterated Chaplin did not
leave for New York to evade service.
The attorney promised a complete
statement as soon as he had time to
read the lengthy petition the screen
comedians wife filed late yesterday.
Mrs. Chaplins suit, which charged
that her husband was faithless and
cruel, probably will not reach trial
until six months, attorneys said, be-
cause Of the congested condition of
divorce court calendars
The custody Of Charles Spencer, Jr.,
aged 2, and Sidney Earle aged /, now
with their mother at her grandparents
home in Beverly Hills, and community
property which the wife set at $10,-
100000 in her suit, stood out as the
main issues of future court airing OF
the case
Meanwhile, an order remained effec-
tive restraining the actor from remov-
ing any of his property from the state
or disposing of it in any way pending
the outcome Of the divorce suit.
Besides the film actor, the Chaplin
Studios, Inc. Charles Chaplin Film
corporation, United Artists corpora
tion; Alfred Reeves, Chaplin's business
manager, and a number of banks and
trust companies were made defendants
in the wife's suit.
Mention by the comedians former
leading lady of several 'prominent mo-
tion picture women" in connection
with alleged improper conduct of her
husband furnished material for a wave
of speculation about the studios in
Hollywood
Taking one motion picture actress"
Mrs. Chaplin averred that on four con-
secutive days the actress automobile
was parke doutVide the comedians
elaborate home for periods of several
hours.
One night the same actress car re-
mained in front of the house until
10 o'clock He boasted of loving one
motion picture woman, she said.
Chaplin often upbraoded her, she
said, for having forced him to marry
her Returning from Mexico, where
they were married in 1924, Mrs. Chap
lin asserted her husband told his
friends on the train well, it's bet
ter to get married than to go to
prison"
On the occasion Of the second ma
ternal expectancy she said, Chaplin in
sisted on thwarting the birth of the
child, saying: what are you trying
to do-populate Los Angeles?"

BEAUTY How and Why
DRY AND CREAMY FACE POWDERS
 By Ann Alysis

Face powders are dry or creamy according to weather or not they have cold cream or lanoline-woo fat-incorporated in them. Usually if these ingredients have been used the label mentions that fact.
 For skin that is dry, creamy or lanolated powder is indeed desir- able. Such powders are smooth and adhere well to the skin, pre- venting the dry and scaly appear ance which powder gives to some faces.
 When powder contains sufficient cream within itself. 1t Is unneces- sary to give the face the usual pre- paratory treatment with cold cream. However, If your prefer ence is for the dry powder, apply q very small amount of your favor ite cream, cold or vanishing, be- fore using the powder.
 In applying the powder. cover all parts of the face well with if. Many women make the mistake of leaving forehead and neck un- powdered, thus producing a very inartistic effect, the difference in color striking the eye at once, and unpleasantly. Also, do not put on SO much powder that the face looks like a mask. which is what a great many women do.

A person inhertts from his an cestors a certain type of back and a certain type of posture just as h. inherits any other characteristics However. these inherited tendencies can be overcome to a certain extent 1 by proper training. Diseases that affect the muscles the bones and the fragments also interfere with proper posture ana must be treated according to mod. crn scientific methods. Here arc ten requirements for gool posture:

 "So-you know" he said.

 She looked down at the gingham apron she had put on before she be- gan to pack her clothes, and won dered how many gingham aprons she would wear out before Pat was rich enough to afford a servant for her. And then, as If the sight of the apron reminded her of them. she thought of her clothes in the scented closet at home on Mont pelier road.
 It's just plain silly for me not to have them." she decided. and de- cided at the same instant to get them, by some hook or crook.
