Inventor OF Big
Camera Sues Fox

LOS ANGELES, June 10. U.p)--
When talking films first came into
vogue, Fox Film company exploited
film known as Grandeur" which
projected pictures of huge size up
on the screen.
An echo of those early days was
heard today when Mitchell Camera
company filed suit for s2Sc ,75o
against the film, alleging IL had
refused to accept a number Of cam
eras especially built TO order.
The Grandeur" cameras we're OF
special design, the Mitchell firm
charged, and when Fox discontln-
ued their use, the designers we're
left damaged because the cameras
could not be sold elsewhere.

VETERAN ABSOLVED

LOS ANGELES, June 18. U.P)-
William j. Shakleford, nearly blind
war veteran, stood absolved of
blame today for the death of his
brother-in-law, Edward Dempsey,
43, following a coroner's inquest.
Dempsey died of a knife wound af-
ter a dispute with Shakleford over
a SIS debt. The veteran said he

Banks Closed

SAN BERNARDINO, June 18.
U.P)-The doors of three banks were
closed today following heavy with
draWalS by depositorS, assertedly as
the result of malicious rumors re-
garding their solvency.
A run started on a fourth bank,
the American National bank, after
the San Bernardino National, the
County Savings bank and the First
Bank of Highland, six miles from
here, were closed.
Officers of the American National
said they would remain open and
pay all depositors. Superintendent
of Banks Edward Rainey announced
that the County Savings bank
would probably open within a few
days and the San Bernardino Ma
tional soon after.
Police had been investigating a
whispering campaign for several
days, since bank officers reported
rumors had been circulated by tel
ephone, frightening depositors.

$1,100,000 and total resources on

SIXTH CANGSTER
BITES DUST IN
CHICAGO WAR

CHICAGO, June 10. U.P) -
Further indication that the under
world has awakened from its long
lethargy and Capone- induced peace
was given police today in the vio-
lent death of the sixth gangster
in 48 hours.
Machine gunners cut down
Johnny Nyhan, known to authori-
ties as an independent beer opera
tor, at his Crooked Lake resort a
few miles from c-1e city.
Nyhan's wife witnessed the kill
ing which was conducted by three
men armed with a machine gun
and revolvers.
Most notorious of those slain
since Thursday was George (Red
Barker, Capone lieutenant and
labor racketeer, also killed by ma
chine gunners.
CHICAGO, June 18. U.P) - Ten

dered to leave by agents who
searched the premises for liquor
The restaurant which for 20
years has been one of the South
Sides brightest "spots" was closed
by the agents.

the bridesmaid, walking alone.
ct is, however. the custom to
have an even number of brides
maids. so that they may walk
two by two, and perhaps you
would like to invite another
bridesmaid, so that two could
walk together. after the usherS.
Or if you wish. you may call
the maid of honor a brides
maid, and have her walk with
the other brideSmaidD Next
comes either the maid of honor
or the matron of honor, accord
ing to which you wish to give
the greater honor. If, for
instance, tn maid Of honor is
nearer to you by relationship
or friendship, you would have
her walk just before you and
your father in the professional.
This is the greatest place of
honor. But. if, as I suggest,
you nominate your maid of
honor a bridesmaid, then she
would walk with the other
bridesmaid, and the matron of
honor would walk alone, before
you and your father, who come
last in the professional. Or. if
you do not wish to do this,
you may each walk alone, or
you may have the maid Of
honor and the matron of honor
walk together, before you.

Your Ieo|th
And Diet
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING
Patients who are subject to
sick headache can be assured
that they will get over it. The
average age at which the at
tacks begin is about Is years;
and they continue until the end
of middle age-the change of
life in women and the similar,
but less revolutionary, changes
in men. In only 10 per cent of
cases do the attacks persist af-
ter this age period.
Treatment may be directed
towards two objects-one to
stop or relieve an attack which
threatens or has actually be-
gun, and the other treatment
directed towards preventing the
attack altogether.
Most people who have mi
graine have learned their own
way to treat the individual at
tacks. Some find if they can
get their bowels open before
the attack has gained headway
it can be aborted or mitigated.
This is perhaps partly asso-
ciated with the phenomena we
described yesterday-the appa-
rent stoppage of movement in
the intestines during the at
tack. A more .pretentious way
of doing this is by flushing out
the upper part of the intestines
with a saline laxative by means
of a duodenal tube.
Along the same lines is the
idea many of these patients
have that if they can get some
aspirin or phenacetin or ace
tanilid into the stomach and
absorbed it will help. What
this means is that they must
get the aspirin or other remedy
absorbed before the digestive
tract entirely ceases to func-
tion. After the attack is on
and the nausea and feeling of
numbness in the abdomen are
established, it means that drugs
by mouth are practically inert
because the stomach and intes-
tines are paralyzed.

CHAPTER %

The long train whistled as
It approached a crossing. A
crossing where a car waited, its
headlights pale in the summer
dusk.
Lily Lou stared at 1t stupidity.
She turned from the window,
looked around hastily, fear,
and suspicion in her heavy eyes.
She was afraid she had been
acting queerly. She was sitting
1T a small table in the dining
car, a dish of melting ice
cream before her.
This was the San Francisco
Limited. the train she had
almost missed because she sat,
dreaming, in the Ferry Building.
And how she had got into the
dining car, and what she had
ordered for dinner, and why
she had ordered it, she couldn't
remember.
She had a hazy recollection
Of the ferry boat, and boarding
the train at the pier. She had
held her ticket in her hand,
and someone had pointed out
the right train.
The utilitarian watch on her
wrist-the one Bess and May
and mother had given her on
her eighteenth birthday-point'
ed at 1925. The crowd, in the
car was thinning. She paid her
check, made her way hesitantly
back to car 81, lower Il.
Her coat was there, and
that was her suitcase protrud-
ing from under the seat. No
one seemed to have the upper
berth. She was glad of that.
Reminded of Ken
She sank into her place,
turned her face to the darken.
ing window. Slowly she looked
down at her dress. It was her
black crepe de, chine, with the
cape. The one she got last
spring, when she first met
Ken. Would everything, for
ever, remind her of him? I'll
get rid of the clothes I have.
"I'll buy new ones in New
York" she thought reckleSSly,
and. for a moment she felt
comforted. But, alas, she

three suits are guarded. In

You are not under the least

she seems inclined to be in

You were right in shaking

you were the hostess and as
such were welcoming a guest to

always shake hands with a
guest as she welcomes him or
her to her home, as well as
when the guest leaves. I think
that your guests would have felt
that he had received a very
frigid reception if you had not
shaken hands with him. It was
a most natural and most gra.
