COUNSEL
BLOCKED BY COURT
Judge Forbids Questioning, of
Dancer Regarding 81 100000
Civil Suit.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, November 6.-De-
Tense counsel for Alexander Pantages
theater owner charged with attacking
Eunice Pringle, young dancer, will not
be able to interrogate the girl about
the $l.000000 civil action for damages
she filed against Pantages after his
conviction at the end 'of his first trial.
Superior Judge Clair s. Tappaan
ruled late yesterday the suit had no
part in the present trial. The defense
sought to question the girl about the
suit.
Miss Pringle has finished her cross
examination. She denied any improper
conduct in her past life.
Pantages ia accused Of having at
tackled Miss Pringle when she went to
his office to solicit employment. The
first trial resulted in his conviction
and a sentence of from l to SO years
Imprisonment. The new trial resulted
from the failure of the judge to allow
the defense to 60 into the past life Of
the complaining witness.

L. 8. Navy Reviews Editorial.
Asserting that 1.-The Navy Leagues
hope Of general investigation is sunk
before launching" because of the per-
sonnet of President Hoover's commit
tee, an editorial in todays issue Of the
United States Navy Review, a service
publication, has this to say:
1T appears as though the NAVY
League took in too much territory.
The issue probably could have been
covered without a direct attack on the
President OF the United States. Thus,
the leagues fine intentions probably
inJure the Nays side of the story.
Already some of the leading members
their stand in favor of the NAVY have
expressed disapproval at the attack on
Mr.. Hoover.
The fact that the professional paci-
fist factions have taken sides in no
small way with Mr. Hoover is none too
welcome by the President. Mr.. Hoover
had some nice things to saw for the
Navy on Navy day. The peace fac
lions jumping in against the Navy
League do not make the Navy day state
mentS sound at bit better.
Had MIR. Hoover ignored the Navy
League pamphlet entirely, the issue for
and against the Navy would have at
tracted considerable less attention than
it now has.

A VERTISEM EMIT
MANY ILLS ARE
DUE TO FATIGUE
Common Cold Is Very Easy
"To Catch" When "Tired
Out"

Fatigue, according to medical
authorities, lowers the resistance Of
the human system. AS a result, the
system is more susceptible to infec-
tions. For example, when fatigued,
the body is easily chilled and often
a head cold or worse follows.
One of the most effective ways to
overcome fatigue is to eat or drink
something sweet. A soda fountain
beverage, ice cream, a piece of
candy and small cakes are appro-
pirate because they are quickly di-
gested and their energy is ready at
once to restore vigor.
Thousands of people who work,
or spend the day shopping, have
learned the value of a mid-after-
noon sweet snack to Danish fatigue.
Children upon coming home from
school are also benefited by a light,
nutritious sweet food. Most foods
are more delicious and nourishing
with sugar. The Sugar Institute.
