SO many young men get into trouble
from foolishness and not needing the
good advice OF their elders and SC
there Is no conceivable reason why
their families should suffer more
than they do on their account. The
young man will then know that you
are sirtcere. honest and courageous
in facing the truth and fearlessly
telling II. even at the risk or your
W happiness.

you reckon they got tired OF US

FAIL TO LOCATE
CHIEF WITNESS
in ATTIC CASE

LOS ANGELES, May l3. W.n)-
The attorney whose story led to
the discovery that Otto Sanhuber
had lived for years in the home of
Mrs. Walburga Oesterreich, assert
edly as her sweetheart, could not
be located by district attorneys in
vestigators today.
The attorney, Herman Shapiro. is
scheduled to he an important wit
ness in the forthcoming trial of
Mrs. Oesterreich, and Sanhuber, a,.
eused of the death of her husband,
Fred Oesterreich, wealthy Milwau-
kee garment manufacturer.
Deputy District Attorney James
p. Costello said that officers had
tried fUtilely for several days to
serve subpoena on Shapiro, but
that he has constantly evadade serv-
ice.
The eight year old murder ease
was reopened when Shapiro told of
having visited Sanhr~,r in the gar
ret of the Oesterreich home when
the widow was held on suspicious
just after the death OF her husband.
Until Shapiro spoke, investigators
had accepted the widow story
that her husband was killed by bur
glars, the police not knowing that
Sanhuber had resided in her home,
unknown even to the husband.

PAIN IN YOUR
SHOULDER?
Use TysmOl for Relief

Knife-like jabs of pain in the vi
einity of the shoulder blade are gen
orally due TO neuritis, brought on by
exposure to draughts or sudden
changes of weather. In some eases
there is stiffness or soreness in the
muscles, making it difficult to raise
the arm.
The safest and easiest way to re-
ieve such an attack is to apply a
small quantity of Tysmol over the
affected area. This soothing, heal
ing preparation is quickly absorbed
through the pores and carried to the
throbbing aching peripheral nerves.
The pains usually stop at once, and
in very short time the last trace
of soreness should disappear.
Tysmol is absolutely harmless
free from dope. Recommended for
all forms of nerve pain, whether
caused by neuritis, neuralgia, scia
tica or rheumatism. Sold by lead
ing druggists. Always on hand at
vour drug store.

COLLEEN MOORE

Her story of husband who always
was in an ugly mood and who never
apologized won divorce here to-
day for Colleen Moore, one of the
screens best known players.
Superior Judge Thomas Gould
granted her an intcrlocutory decree
after the actress testified briefly on
many humiliations she suffered
from John F.. Mccormick, promi-
nent motion picture producer.
The actress, bringing the suit nm
der her real name, Kathleen Morri
son Mccormick, was on the verge
of tears as she took the stand in the
crowded courtroom and recited de-
tails Of her married life.
Mccormick, she said, frequently
made disparaging remarks about
her friends.
"He was always in an ugly mood
when my friends called" the actress
said. "He would say they bored
him or that they did not have good
taste. He never apologized."
She related the humiliation she
suffered when she was visited in
her home last February by Julianne
johnson, another screen actress.
~ was most embarrassed" Miss
Moore said, "when my husband
came out and told her, why in the
hell don't you get out of here, /
want to go to bed.'"
The final separation from her
husband, she said came last March
z, just after she returned from the
hospital accompanied by nurse af
ter a surgical operation.
"When the nurse and / arrived"
Miss Moore declared, "Mr. McCor-
mick ordered us from the house. /
had no choice and simply left. He
had become worse and worse and !
couldn't stand it any more"
Last fall, the actress said, din
ner party was given in honor of her
self and her husband but at the
last moment her husband refused to
go and gave her no explanation to
offer.
Another time he left for Palm
Springs while she was waiting for
him to take her to q New Years
eve party, she said.
At a party last Christmas eve,
she said, Mccormick drove his auto
mobile across the lawn of theiS
home.
'Was he intoxicated" Judge
Gould asked.
"Yes, he was" Miss Moore ans
wered.
She said that property settle
ment was agreed upon out of court.
Mccormick did not contest the
suit.
The pair married August Is. 1923.
