AStOr Truce Held Up
BYROW Over Nurse

fms was being written to perhaps
the most spectacular Hollywood
court case in history, the attempt
of Mary Astor to wrest her child
from the legal custody of DR..
Thorpe.
Actress Very Tired
In fact, Marylyn didn't even
know her mother and father had
gone to court about the custody
matter, which DR.. Thorpe believed
was settled, once and for all, when
he obtained Marylyn and an un-
contested divorce in April, 1885.
The youngster didn't know, for
instance, how very tired her
mother was yesterday in the Of
flee of Roland Rich Woolley, the
attorney, while details of the
agreement under which the law
suit was to be settled were being
worked out.
Mary Astor sat upright on the
couch where she was resting
when a reporter turned from her
lawyer and abruptly told her:
Believe it or not, I think DR..
Thorpe still loves you"
Miss Astor paused a second or
two, almost incredulouSly, before
she threw back her head and
laughed. Her laugh was hollow.
She had spent many hours on
the witness stand, undergoing a
mercileSS cross-examination about
ecstatic nights, as written in her
diary.

gamble which a noted attorney.

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. IL U.N.SO.
William E. Borah, 7l-year-old vet

It appeared certain Borah and
Ross, the prediction favoriteS,
would be the primary survivors
and would lock horns in the No
vember elections.
Borah's victory was a cleancut
triumph over TownSendites, who
claimed they could muster half
the States 100000 registered vot-

Borah and Defenbach was waged
on a clean-cut basis between old

HENRY Staying
CLUES FAIL

District police, who failed to
find a shotgun and two pistols
concealed in a car abandoned
after the murder of Milton w.
"Milsie" Henry four years ago,
today asserted the discovery Of
the weapons two days ago will
not result in the case being re-
opened.
Attorneys for Charles Harris,
who was convicted of the murder,
sentenced to the electric chair
and later committed to life i'm
prisonment by President RooSe-
welt, hoped, however. that the dis
covery might lead to Harris being
cleared.
The guns have been turned over
to District authorities. but with
Lieut.. John Fowler, ballistics ex-
pert, away on vacation, nothing
will be done until his return.
Then he will endeaVor to match
the firing pin marks on the caps
of the shells with the pin on the
gun found concealed in tn e
abandoned car. Detectives said,
however, they are confident that
Harris was the killer.
The car, they said, had been
purchased by him in New Jersey
about two months before the MUIR
der. In the rear of the car was a
cleverly constructed secret COM
partment, which could be opened
only by throwing a switch in the
front seat. 1t was here that the
guns were discovered by a Gathers
burg, Md, garage mechanic who
was working on the car which had
been recently purchased at a pub
lie sale by a Gaithersburg resident.

Married couples, when they con-

between independence plus lone

ITO MOST persons there comes
4 sometime in their lives the
opportunity for a choice between
independence and loneliness or ties
and affection. The wise mature
person thinks long before choosing
the former above the latter. There
are many young people, however,
who feel so sure of themselves
and their ability to "get along
all right" that they are irked by
the least restraint. They throw it
off, only to discover later in life
that affection is worth the curtail-
ing restraint and dependence en-

their portion up to the time of
their decision that dependence is
what they must have, at any cost.
They have no idea of what lone

fore Christmas" Bill predicted.
And as if that were not enough, he
suggested that now there would be
nothing to buy for the twins, may
be he could have the moving pic
ture outfit he had wanted so long.
81 hope you don't change your
mind, sweet sisters" he cautioned,
as he proceeded to put huge piece
of pie in his mouth. II do want
that picture machine pretty bad"
The twins threw scornful glances
in his direction; they couldn't trust
themselves to speak. There were
things they had forgotten when they
made their big resolve to do away
with Christmas preparations. AS
soon as dinner was over, they hur-
ried from the table.
The days that followed were not
very happy. The twins could find
no one interested in their plan to
change the way of keeping Christ
mas. Even the most modern of
their friends laughed them to scorn.
No one was really interested in
advancement, they decided. Here
they were willing and eager to get
a new crusade started, one that
would save time and temper and
money, and no one, not even their
best friends, would lend a hand.
They grew fretful, impatient, even
peeved at each other.
One evening Nadine came home
and found Marian in their mothers
bedroom, peering into some boxes
that had just been delivered. Ma
dine smiled to herself, and hur-
ried from the doorway so Marian
would not see her.
But next day in the toy depart
ment Of Smiths store, things came
to a showdown. The twins ran into
each other, found themselves side
by side clutching for foolish things
that lay on the counter. Brown
eyes challenged blue as they stood
in the crowded aisle. Guilt showed
plainly on both faces.
Then Nadine was speaking,
quickly, incoherently: "You might
as well know, Marian, I'm chuck
ing your silly plan. I'm going to
do like everybody else. I'm going
to make a big fuss about Christ
mas. / want to push through the
crowds-to buy foolish things-to
hang up holly wreaths-to-to do
just everythingl And II I'm
not mistaken, you're just dying to
do the same?"
You're absolutely right" Mari
an answered, utterly careless of
the amused glances thrown in their
direction. We've been a pair of
fools, but we're going to have one
grand and glorious time in the two
days that are left We're going
to make the biggest fuss about
Christmas that has ever been made
