inches. 1t has ne,0 eide
doors and semi:concealed
running boards.
You'll notice also a new
beauty, achieved by q skilful
blending of mass with longer
fo10ing lines. Larger ,0ind-

One of its biggest advan-
tages is the ne,O soft ride.

Common Sense

A doctor would tell you that the
best thing to do with constipation
is get at its cause. That way you
don't have to endure it first and
try to "cnre" it afterward-you
can avoid having it.
Chances are you won't have to
looktar for the cause if you eat
the shper-refined foods most
people do. Most likely you don't
get enough "bulk"! And bulk"
doesn't mean a lot of food. It
means a kind Of food that isn't
consumed in the body, but
leaves a soft bulky" mass in the
intestines.
If this is what you lack, try
crisp crunchy Kellogg's All-Bran
for breakfast. It contains Just the
bulk" you need.
EatAll-Bran often, drink plenty
Of water, and Join the Regulars"

New, s1ower.action springs
give a slow, gentle, gliding
movement. Anewlv designed
sfabiizer helps absorb road
shocks, and maintains bal.
ance on sharp curves and in

More rapid acceleration to
match its familiar speed and
power makes this new Ford
an even livelier car to drive.
These are only a few of
this new cars outstanding
features. It represents all the
rich experience gained in
building more than q mil.

Any Ford dealer can give
you many good reasons for
making this your 1941 car.

Mae Murray Expects
To Regain Son Soon
Y the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, March 5.-Mae
Murray, called a "fit mother" by q
judge who awarded her $4OO month";
ly from her ex-husband, David
Mdivani. looks forward happily to
regaining custody of their son,
Koran, 13.
The blond star of silent films was
radiant as she learned, in modest
Hollywood apartment, that her plea
for money to support her son was
successful.
Il feel I have been vindicated,"
she smiled. "All my hopes and
struggles to regain my boy have not
been in vain"
Superior Judge George Dockweiler
ruled in the actress favor yesterday
at the same time voicing censure OF
the prince.
THE mother is certainly entitled
to have her child under the evil
dence in this case" the jurist COM
mented. There has not been a
scintilla of evidence introduced to
show she is not a fit mother.
1T is most singular to note" he
added, that he (MdivanD would
spend substantial sums for distant
relatives and friends abroad. But
yet. with respect to his own flesh
and blood. he made no contribu-
tions for many years other than a
few paltry dollars he gave his wife
for his sons needs.
This is indeed something that
the court can hardly understand
and for which the defendant gave
no adequate explanation"
