Cool Weather Brings
Carbon MOnoxide Peril

Warming up the motor with ga
rage doors closed and driving with
car windows shut are cool weather
practices which increase the chance
of carbon monoxide poisoning dur
ing fall and winter months, accord
ing to the service department of the
Montana Automobile Association.
The deadly gas contained in the
exhaust fumes is odorless, tasteless,
and colorless, and dangerous
amount can accumulate within a
few minute in closed garage, it is
pointed out.
Motorists are also urged to avoid
driving any great distance with the
car windows closed, as small
amounts of gas may come through
the floor boards from faulty connec-
tons in the exhaust system.

shows. Her face turned chalk
white as she read:
Gan inside tip has just come to
this desk that Romany Halle, new
comer to radio and second lead of
the Twilight of Love- daily dra-
matte script, has just received the
break hat any radio actress in
|Chicago would give her eye teeth
for. She will play Janet Mary
lanes in the first televised daily
script by the same name. Re
bearsals begin Monday under the
direction of Hal Trotter. Romany
is a swell gal and has everything
the camera needs: crow black hair,
amazing green eyes and the best
figure in radio. We predict she'll
WOW those lucky enough to own
television sets. Congratulations,
Romany. Now you should have a
good chance of winning that con-
test during the holidays and be-
coming Miss Television.)"
Uncontrolled tears rolled down
Myra's face. Her world was sure
ly coming to an end! And for the
first time in her life she felt her
hands were tied so that it was al
most impossible for her to do any
thing about it.
Hal Trotter had warned her re-
peatedly that if she lost her tenn
per again he would take twilight"
away from her and star Romany.
The part Of Celeste was becoming
less and less important anyway,
and Lii was being built up by the
author. AS for her other two
daily shows, the dialogue was so
awful, the plots so silly, they made
her sick.
Then, too, there was the little
matter Of Brent Nelson and his
warning after she had knocked him
out with the ash tray at his
department. She had given her
word to him that she would never
annoy Romany Halle in any way,
so that he would not prosecute her
for assault.
The only consolation Myra had
was that the corridors of Inter-
state were buzzing with gossip
about Brent and Romany, and that
she felt certain almost everyone
knew Brent had paid to enter her
in the contest. But even that was
small consolation when Miss Halle
went about looking and acting like
a green-eyed goddess and every
thing she touched turned to luck.
Well, anyway, there was Terry
to hit the high spots with after
he was through singing at the
cafe. He kept her from going
completely haywire!

he would appreciate it if she'd come
lin for a singing addition. Mr..
Hayworth had suggested he'd like
Ian Irish song now and then, in
dialect.
In a week Cholly's fan mail be.
gan to come in punches. Her hap
piness reflected itself in the Tilt OF
her voice. and she sang with a
gayety that made her audience
want to sing with her. In the mail
bag were many requests for old
Irish numbers, and a few fans sent
songs to her to be sung.
Relief from her financial worries,
10y in being able to help her fami-
ly, pushed her other troubles into
the background. Romany was
amazed when Cholly told her she
was to sing. Shed never thought
of Cholly as having a voice, or
dreamed that it had that certain
something only a microphone could
bring out.
Another thorn in Myra Moves
side "a the fact that Terry
'O'Rourke's former fiance was sud
denly becoming a radio sensation.
Terry had told her who Cholly was
the night they passed in the foyer
of Landau's. For one thing, Cholly
was much TOO attractive for Myra's
comfort. For the sake of her own
face, she must never lose Terry to
another woman, as she had Brent.
Every time she saw Cholly's pic
ture in a paper, or a mention of
her in a radio column, her jealousy
mounted. And the fact that she
was a close friend of her hated
rival, Romany Halle, added to her
bitterness. They had been two I'M
knowns but a few weeks before.
Radio was a crazy business.
Myra sat staring at a large pic
ture of Cholly in the Globe one
afternoon between ~broadcasts, burn
ing with envy. Those amateurs
were not only c%luttering up In
terstate, they were getting all the
publicity! Myra always spoke of
newcomers 10 radio as amateurs.
1t was the worst thing she could
think of to say about them!
From the picture, Myra went on
to Tanners column and she sat up
suddenly with a little scream of
protest. She was alone in the club
room of the building where the
women performers rested between
