clippers of the 90s! Girls
were all of a-twitter if they defied

afternoon when no men were about!
Now I ask you! They would have

I happened to be up at John Nc
Cormick's dove cote that afternoon,
and to save me going way back to
town he wangled it so Jane brought
her bath suits out to his swimming
hole. She changed and walked out
to the pool.
Howard Hughes, the flying finan-
cier, is supposed to have picked her.
Well, any one who picked Jean
Harlow is a superpicker!
Jane is beautiful, voluptuous and
ewarthy as a pirates daughter. I'm
amazed that they haven't hacked
her down to the usual Hollywood
standard-the coathanger with lip
stick on it. Perhaps they haven't
gotten around to starving her into
anemia as they did Garbo and hun
dreds of others! And that cliche
they pull-"The screen always makes
'em look fatter!"
Men like them the way Russell
Is looking at present writing, on or

on the edge of the pool, and in a
chair started to draw.

Another tavern has felt the dis
culinary action of having military
police posted before its doors to
keep soldiers out. but this is the
first official order posted. No COM
ment was forthcoming with the
order. but such a move Is usually
made when post commanders feel
that il is not in the best interest
of soldiers to visit such spots.
The fact that only two taverns
in this area have been closed to
soldiers of the fort was pointed
to today by Maj. Harry r. Brown,
post adjutant, as a sign that the
soldiers had been conducting them
selves well.
Daily reports of the conduct of

Gamblers Talk
Aircraft Trial

The prosecution in the county
graft trial today was to delve into
gambling conditions in Inkster and
Ecorse. with James Randazzo. adj
mitted bet collector, continuing on
the stand.
Randazzo drew hearty chuckles
from the jury and spectators yes
terday as he evasively told of his
work in an 1nkster handbook
where he said he frequently saw
Mike Conn, a defendant. The pro-
secution claims Conn operated the
place and was his boss.
Maybe Conn run it," was as
close as he wouid come to sup
porting the prosecutions con-
tention.'
Randazzo testified he was paid
to go out and get a loaf of
bread" occasionally. but after
wards admitted he also bought
sandwiches and collected bets.
DOUBLE DUTY
Albert Hansche testified he was
in both the slot machine and num-
bers business in Inkster with Conn
and Ben Landsberg, a defendant,
as we'll as AIMED Bill Abbass,
accused in another case.
I'VE ran the Lucky Tiger

Hansche testified.
Hansche said Abbass pal d

ABBASS EXCUSED
Abbass, called as a prosecution
witness, proved of little value. A

asked if he had 10 answer ques-
tionS and was informed by Judge

He refused to answer the first
