VET CARE HELD.
ADEQUATE

War veterans are being ade-
quately hospitalized, according to
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines,
Veterans Administrator, who says
that any veteran who served more
than 80 days, was honorably dis
charged, and was disabled in line
Of duty, will be cared for.
The statement was prompted
by a movement to open Walter
Reed Hospital once more to vet
erans. Hines said the Veterans
Administration had enough hos
pitalS of its own.
At present $40 CCC workers are
at Walter Reed, only four veter-
ans. All veterans whose illnesses
were not traceable to military
service were removed from Walter
Reed some time ago.

10th Amendm Crimps
House Clerks Yule Joy

There isn't any Santa Claus.
Not this year, at any rate, for
employees Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
And they blame it all on the
Twentieth Amendment.
The reason for the skepticism
of the House employees about
Santa Claus existence is a purely
monetary one-there won't be
any pre-Christmas salary this
year as there has been in years
gone by.
Heretofore, Congress each year
has passed a concurrent resolu-
ton providing for the payment
Of the House employees monthly
salaries before Christmas so that
the spirit of the Yuletide might
reign in their homes.
But with the ratification of
the Twentieth or lame duck
amendment, that cannot be ac-
complished, because Congress
doesn't sit to pass any resoIu-
tionS until January 8.

GOTHAM HUNTS
STRANGER
Of GIRL

NEW YORK, Dec. IA Q.N.S0.
Unidentified underworld figure-a
killer said to have slipped through
police fingers several times-today
was sought as the slayer who
wrapped an electric cord around
the throat of pretty, raven-haired
Margie Piletsky. known to Broad
ways night spots as Marian
Smith, and strangled her to death
for fear she might make further
revelations to police.
For Margie, it was disclosed to-
day. had been under police guard
for the past 10 months as a ma
terial witness in connection with
the year.old murder Of Joseph
Mortillaro. Eleven days ago she
was released from the Bronx
county jail. where she had been
held under guard for fear under
world vengean'e would be visited
on her.
"Squealed" In Murder
The girl, police said, had been
guarded because of information
she had given them concerning
the Staying of Mortillaro. AS a
result Of her disclosures, George
De Perno is now serving a 20
year-to-life sentence in Danne-
mora Prison. And Irving Leder
is doing a five-year stretch" in
Sing Sing in connection with
the same murder.
But it was fear-the fear Of
the actual slayer. that Margie
might disclose his identity-which
brought her death, detectives
were convinced as they probed
into the life of the girl who came
from Shenandoah, Pa, to seek
stage fame here.

To make Children
a !

Don't force children to eat! The
girl or boy who has no appetite has
stasis-which means the child Is
eluggish. But cathartics have caused
more constipation than they ever
cured! The california treatment"
is best-just pure syrup Of figs. Try
this for few days, then see how
eagerly your youngster will eat.
Stimulate the colon and that child
with a fnicky appetite will devour
everything set before him. Here's
the simple treatment that does more
for babies or older children than all
the diets, fad foods, or tonics.
Nature has provided the "medi-
cine" you'll need to stir your child's
colon muscles into proper action.
California syrup of figs. Pure, de-
licious, harmless. 1t acts on the
lower colon-where the trouble Is.
1t has ND. i'll effects on the intestines.
Begin tonight, with this marvel
GUS california treatment" Any
druggist has California syrup Of
figs, all bottled, with directions. Use
enough the first time to cleanse the
clogged colon of every bit of poison
and hard waste. Then just little
twice week until the child's appe-
tite, color, weight and spirits tell
you the stasis is gone. Whenever a
cold or other upset clogs the system
again, use this natural vegetable
laxative instead Of drastic drugs.
