One Sure Way to
 End Coughs and Colds

Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflated membranes and inhibits germ growth.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical author ities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stom- ach, is absorbed into the blood, and attacks the seat of the trouble.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satis- factory in the treatment of per- sistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Your own druggist is authorized to refund your money on the spot if your cough or cold is not relieved by Creomulsion. adv

 The amazing and thrilling epi sodes of Hell Below" include the escape under water from depth bombs, the dramatic moment in the hold of a doomed submarine, the battle with the planes, the tor pedoing of an enemy destroyer and the final climax in which Mont gomery drives his explosive laden boat into a fort to blow it up and thus bottle up harbor protect ing the enemy fleet.
 Montgomery and Huston are the principals of the dramatic conflict which furnishes the motif of the plot, with Jimmy Durante and Eu- gene Palette furnishing the com edy relief.

FAIRBANKS JR. IS STARRED IN
 EXCITING FILM
Bette Davis, Leo Carrillo Have Big Roles in
 Parachute Jumper

While Parachute Jumper" a Warner Bros. picture which comes to the Coliseum Theatre today, stars Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., it could well be placed in the all-star class. For Fairbanks is supported by three players who have had stellar roles.
 Bette Davis has stellar qualifi- cations in the picture field, while Leo Carrillo and Frank McHugh have both been stage stars. and have played leading roles on the screen.
 There also are an unusual num- Der of strong featured players. in- cluding Claire Dodd, Sheila Terry, Harold Huber, Thomas E. Jackson, George Pat Collins, arold Healy and Frederick Munie ,t The picture is rom ntically ad- venturous. with a strols;; tang of wise cracking humor, punctuated with thrills. It has the fast moving satirical S tyle for which Rian James, the author, an erstwhile New York columnist, is noted. Even it's romance is tinged with rollick- ing fun.
 The story details the exciting ad- ventures of two marine corps aii pilots in Nicaragua, thence to New York, where they are innocently involved in smuggling contraband from the Canadian border. Thi: brings in many spectacular ail stunts, including battles ih the clouds, airplane chases and para chute jumps. n4
 Seven pilots of national reputa- ton take part in the air stunting in addition to the leading charac- ters in the cast.

STAR SHOOTING AT OWN RECORD
Clarence Mum Trying to
 Break Shot Put Mark But by Proxy

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 22.-Three years ago Clarence Mum capped a great athletic career at the Uni versity of Minnesota by setting a Big Ten outdoor shot put record. Now, as acting track coach at his alma mater he's trying to break that mark, by proxy.
 His chief proxy is huge youth named Bill Freimuth, sophomore from Duluth Central, whose physi- cal equipment--six feet five of height and 216 pounds of heft-is admittedly superior to that of his stocky but studious mentor.
 Granted that his measurements are impressive, Freimuth's record as a football and basketball player of more than average ability at test. another star shot-putter's standard requirements co-ordina- ton. So it has been in the mat ter of competitive spirit that Mum has been giving his protege most of his attention.
 Freimuth's great size, it seems, handicapped his development of competitive spirit as high school CT. He could more than hold his own in any prep sport without dig ging in to the utmost. Self-consci- ous of his towering size, he got in the habit of trying to be incon- spicuous
 When Mum first took him in tow Freimuth learned mechanical refinements of the shot-putting art quickly and his distance with the 16-pound ball soon increased to A, then 45, then 46 feet. But it was merely matter of improved form-he seemed destined to stop there. x
 Then one day the usually amiable Mum became exasperated and don- ned his own track suit, vowing to give the sophomore a real trim. ming When that bit of spirited dueling was over, the coach had had to hit AS feet to make good his threat!
 With that as starter Mum hopes he eventually can arouse his young giant to the point of enter ing that select circle of 50-foot' shot putters, a goal Mum set for himself in his competitive days, but failed by four and half inch es to reach in official competition.
