A Three Days Cough
Is Your DangerSignaI

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial irri-
tation, you may get relief now with
Creomulsion. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy
less potent than CreomulSion, which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and aids nature to Soothe and heal
the inf1amed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. Creomulsion is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is CreomulSion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and the relief you want.

Betty, did she, Bill?" and Bill said,
mo, and why should she? A
flathead always diSlikes another
woman with brains"
From now on, they saw the girls
alone. There were no more four
somes. And after while, they
accepted the fact that the two
women they had chosen didn't like
each other and they were little
apologetic. You know how women
are" they said. I'VE can't let it
interfere with our work"
SAME CONCLUSION
The sulking grew into open war
fare one day when Benny said:
Bill I don't want to seem like
telling you your own business but
I think you speak your lines too
crude. You are more like burli'
cue comedian than a top comedy
man. Why don't you get more
finesse into them?"
Il can't help it if a big blond
cluck don't get my comedy" he
said rs it my fault if some peo-
pie we're born without brain?"
From then on, they talked only
on the set and only from the
script. Finished, they departed
their several ways. Benny in the
third week of shooting, demanded
that his dressing room be moved
far away from Bills. Bill coun-
tered by suggesting that they
break up their act. The director,
Jimmy Wells, told them bitterly
that they didn't have to break
up their act because the picture
was doing it for them. They were
lousy.
That gave them something to
think about. Both issued state
ments that they were breaking up
but both thought of the twenty
years they had been together and
the years before that. The diff
ference was impressive. Before,
they were a couple of hams. After,
when they were together, they
were tops. Both reached the same
conclusion at the same moment
and they were on their way to
find each other when they met
in the lobby.
Benny" Bill said, you know
what's the matter with us? It's
those damn danes. We're taking
them too serious"
You are" Benny corrected.
I've canned mine already"
Til be right back" Bill said,
turning and hurrying away.
The Washington times., 1939-01-11

tell you that the total absence Of
women in their lives was the Sc
cret of their success. That may or
may not be true. Certainly, women
were absent.
Not that they didn't see plenty
of them and form friendships with
many. They liked the ladies'" as
they often laughingly admitted,
but not seriously. Women were di-
versions. They stirred them physi.
cally and emotionally. The lives of
Benny and Bill could have been
written as serial featuring one
woman after the other. For each
would find himself smitten for a
time. He would spend his spare
moments and plenty of his money
on a blonde, a brunette or a red
head who sympathized with him,
laughed at him and told him how
great he was.
But, one after another, these
emotional friends bored them and

created trouble. One or two sued
and one, at least, collected $4,000
(she sued for $50,000) for proven
breach-of-promise from Benny.
They were not in Hollywood a
month, however, before the long
delayed lightning hit them both.
Benny fell in love with Nina
Melchor. She was one of the most
beauteous extras on the Para
mount lot, a girl with a driving
ambition and a flair for dramatic
acting. Nina was not like her
name. She was tall, blond and
shapely. At the same moment,
Bill went for Miss Betty Day, an
intellectual who ran a book-shop.
For the first time in their lives,
each was thinking that it might
be nice to have a wife to go home
to instead of a hotel room or a
bachelors quarters.
MUTUAL DISLIKE
They admitted this to each other
on the occasion of Bills suggest
ing that the four ought to go out
more together, especially as the
picture, Take 1t or Leave 1t" on
which they were working, was
pretty strenuous affair. That
night. Nina and Betty met at the
Trocadero. They did not like each
other on sight or sound.
Even Bill and Benny became
aware of this before ten minutes
had elapsed and they glared at
cath other. subconsciously blam-
ing the other for choosing the kind
of a dame who couldn't appreciate
the woman he had picked.
They were noticeably cool to
each other when they returned to-
gether to their hotel after taking
the girls home. This GOODNESS
froze quickly into ice when Benny
said, Nina didn't seem to go for

As matter of fact the Govern

the big national debt"
This national debt is the debt of

for big rich State. but it is a pretty
big burden to saddle on a sparsely
settled and poor State-Of which
there are many.
A State Government that thinks il
