For two weeks without a clew
to identity of a ten months old
baby found crying in the rain at
the roadside, at Bluff and Stump
roads, police today were in posses
sion of two letters, obviously from
different women, in each of which
motherhood of the child was
claimed.
The first arrived Saturday, was
scrawIed on notebook paper, bore
no name, and identified the baby
only at "William-Buster for short"

tain good home for the infant,
whose mother wanted to keep him
but couldn't"
The second letter arrived Satur-
day afternoon, naming the baby
Richard.
The envelope contained a photo
graph of a young woman, and the
letter was signed H. Lee, Alb West

failed to locate a person of that
name.

BOOST IN ROAD

Construction 100 Per Cent
Heavier in 35 States,

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 12-Gains
in first quarter highway construc-
ton expenditures, running more
than 100 per cent in excess of last
years road building costs, were an
nounced today by thirty-five state
Governors through Secretary of
Commerce Lamont.
Funds spent in these states dur
ing the first three months of 1880
totaled S114,101, 1888, compared with
$50,910,133 in 1929, Lamont reported.
He saw the volume increase as
especially significant in connection
with the problem of spreading en-
ployment throughout the year"
Highway construction operations
under way involve the use of mil
lions of tons of materials drawn
from widely separated sources" he
said. They provide employment
both directly and indirectly over
broader areas than any other type
of public work"

Splendidly done; even the lyrics
have some brains and comedy. The
Individual outstanding hit, OF
course. is Maurice Chevalier. He is
perfect while singing Just One
Gal" and also in the big finale,
Sweeping the Clouds Away" Then
little Mitzi Green comes forth and
gives her impression of Miss Kane
and Chevalier doing their big
numbers. Here is perfect fun and
shows that Miss Janis knows how
to build a revue with brains, charm
and talent.
Powell, Bancroft, Brook and some
of the others appear in some clever
sketches based upon their hits IN
previous pictures. Powell appears
in a travesty upon mystery movies
and Bancroft has whale OF a hit
in herman part.
Even this revue has a very smart
beginning in color. You are not
even bored to death by the announce
ment of the stars-just splendid
directing that has overcome de1ectS
in other reviews.
I think that you will agree with
me when tell you that Paramount
on Parade is the smartest revue so
far and as far as I am concerned the
best so far. And I am not for
getting "The Hollywood Revue.
Paramount on Parade" is now at
the Circle.

A ZANE GREY STORY
IN FULL DTALOG

We have had so many stories OF
back stage life and the underworld,
since the talkies first began, that
it is a relief to see picture with
an altogether different setting and
theme. 1.-The Light of the Western
Stars brings to the screen the first
Zane Grey novel in full dialog, and
with great success.
The cast is excellent, bringing i've
featured players together, with
Richard Arlen and Mary Brian in
the main roles. Again we see Arlen
in a cowboy role as in the "Vir-
ginian." Although Arlen's acting
sometimes seems a little forced and
strained, there is a great improve
ment all the way round.
The comedy honorS go to Harry
Green. AS a peddIer of household
goods and clothes, he sells pair
of pants, and it happens the only
pants he has with him is the pair
he has on. He is unwilling to take
these off, but with the aid OF the
cowboys, the buyer takes them OF
Just the same.
Fred Kohler, as the villain, does
some good work. He keeps the
picture moving and the audience on
the edge of the seats, wondering
what damage he is going to do next.
Regis Toomey, also in the cast, con-
tributes to the story, with good re-
suits.
1.-THE Light of the Western Stars, y
although nothing sensational is fine
entertainment. Good comedy, thrills
as only western play can give you,
and love theme that will hold you,
makes this talkie well worth while.
The stage presentation Sunny
Days." featuring Harry Rose, proves
to be very satisfactory in every
aspect. Fast moving and well
balanced talent, with the humor OF
Harry Rose bursting forth here and
there, make it better than the usual
trend Of presentations Rose is a
man who uses the whole stage for
his antics. Evidently standing still
in one spot, does not appeal to him.
think you will like him.
The Three Gobs, who stopped the
show attended, are beyond doubt,
the fastest dancers I have seen for
some time. And on top of that
they have their own brand of sing
ing, that is nothing short of a riot.
Good work. The Andressens, bal
ancing gymnasts, give you a few
thrills with the aid of a pole, which
one holds and the other one climbs,
while Billy Meyers and Helen
Thompson furnish the musical
background with the Charlie Davis
orchestra.
Other features are Dessa Byrd at
the organ, assisted by the Charlie
Davis orchestra and Newsreel.

A treatment Of from six to eight
bottles of Konjola is recommended.
In fact, the treatment should be
continued six or eight weeks to give
this compound chance to show
its great work.
Get the facts about Konjola from
the Konjola Man, who is at the
Hook Dependable Drug Store, ILL
noiS and Washington streets, Indi-
annapolis. Learn how Konjola quick
ly acts as a cleanser. It is made Of
% roots and herbs and these are
scientifically blended with other in
gradients, thus producing prepa-
ration that helps the organs of eli
mination throw off the waste or
toxic poisons from the system. 1t
is actually amazing what a remark

jola has gone to the source of your
trouble.
Take the experience Of Mr..
| Charles Lewis, r. F. D. No. 1, Box
SCI, indianapolis, who is giving his
frank statement of the benefits de-
rived from Konjola:
Il had stomach trouble so bad
that 7 had no appetite. Meals were
followed by belching spells and gas
bloating. Indigestion caused a burn
ing sensation from my stomach to
my throat. After going to bed at
night would wake up and roll and
toss for hours. I felt nervous dur
ing the day. I had liver trouble,
too, and also bad taste in my
mouth. Pains in the small of my
back came from kidney trouble.
During the night I was forced to
rise because of weak kidneys. I
suffered this way for six months
without ever being relieved.
Then I heard about Konjola and
decided to give it trial. I improved
greatly after taking but half bot
tie. My appetite increased and the
gas bloaing began to disappear. l
took two bottles of Konjola and
now my stomach is in excellent con-
dition. sleep well at night and
the nervousness is gone. My liver
functions properly and my kidneys
we're corrected. I am still taking
Konjola and will never fail to keep
it on hand, for it sure solved my
health problems"
Is 1t not logical. sensible. to believe
that what Konjola has done for Mr..
Lewis, al well as for countless thou
sands Of others IL will do for you
for everyone? Kouiola is not designed

Rocky Mountain Eigh- Jumper Leaps
to Freedom Twice.
BIZ United Press
MILWAUKEE,, May 12.-Ole Bill,
Milwaukee's representative of the
Rocky Mountain goat family, sur
veyed disdainfulIy the wall around
his new home at the Washington
park ZOO.
The wall may have been a prac-
tice hurdle, in Bill's mind, for he
jumped it twice in one day, clearing
he fifteen-foot fence with grace.
With his stout, stocky shoulders
bumped and a threatening eye TO-
cused on the wall, Bill raced from
the imitation mountain ridge and
leaped the fence. He then trotted
of in search of tasty moss.
Zoo keepers captured the high
jumper and put him back i'll his
pseudo-home. Bill apparently
thought it was a game, for he
jumped again Now, the keepers
have decided they must either teach
Bill to stay in his own back yard or
build the wall higher.
