believed these words were never

paragraphs:

When Collette Lyons stuck two
fingers in her mouth and whistled
for a taxi in front OF the Los An
geles Philharmonic auditorium. she
whistled herself into a Aim career
ind she's still whistling.
As a dance.hall girl in Frisco
Sal she uses her shrill whistle to
drive on a bunch of derby.hatted
hoodlums.
The scene was outside an old
time dance hall in the heyday of
San Francisco's Barbary Coast and
when Miss Lyons whistled every
body on the set-including the
hoodlums-jumped.
That wasn't quite what Producer
Director George Wagner had in
mind, but after a few retakes the
rest OF the cast-including Turhan
Bey and Susanna FOster-got their
nerves in hand SO the show could
go on.
Mi. . Lyons, as the dance-hall girl
Mickey Finn, was pushing her way
toward a waiting patrol wagon
when the police raided the place
The hoodlums closed in and be-

pushing and she climbed into the

one OF The prize stories in Rome
has to do with how End Lieut. Rob
ert Z. Berry, 81 Poindexter St,
Jackson, Miss. a 18th AAF Pol
pilot, caught two escaped German
prisoners masquerading as Ameri-
can soldiers.
Berry used a bit OF American
"hep cat" talk on one of the Nazis.
and it did the trick, exposing the
Germans for what they were.
Berry, veteran of sixteen combat
missions as a figh,er.bomber pilot,
was on rest leave in Rome. As he
was checking into an American Of
ficeI's' hotel a man dressed in the
summer uniform Of a L. 5. Army
captain passed him hurriedly in
narrow hallway and headed towards
the hotel dining room.
A moment later an Italian police
man entered and spoke 10 the desk
boy who knew some English. The
policeman suspected that the man
in the captains uniform was a Ger
man.
Pardon Me, Adolf
Now Berry, being a smart young
fellow, is not so tactless as 70 walk
up TO a man in al American uni
form and say, Are you an escaped
Germans
Instead Berry casually strol!ed in
the direction Of the man who had
gone and was surprised to find him
standing, rather aimlessly in the
hotel kitchen. This aroused Berry's
suspicious and he stepped into the
room with the man.
Berry said a pleasant, Good
morning" and then, somewhat ap-
ologetically, remarked:
The Italian policeman outside
seems to think you are a German.
DO you have your Identification
card?'
NO. I do not have It with me, "
the man replied.
DO YOU have any form OF identi-
fication?' Berry countered.

A Useful Organ

So, all in all, the liver is quite q
useful organ, and if it goes wrong
one is likely to be really sick; not
just a little headachy and fnicky
in the appetite department.
And one Of the most protective
things about the liver is that its
cells regenerate very promptly if
destroyed, which is natures ac-
acknowledgement Of the fundamental
importance of the liver and a form
of self-protection. In the liver dis
eases, even Of severe form, one
can find that new liver cells and
lobules have been formed, and they
carry on the work of the liver, re-
placing the destroyed cells. When
the really rare event occurs Of all
the liver cells being destroyed at
once the result is calamitous in
deed.
am not saying that when a per-
son tells you he feels ''liverish" he
is taking, or has no reasons for
such feelings.
The real truth is that It Is usu-
ally his own fault. He has eaten
something, or eaten too much, has
been chain smoking, or chain
drinking, has been worrying, or
overworking. Admittedly he feels
better after he takes the medicine
which he thinks works on his liver,
but that doesn't prove the causa-
tive factor was the liver.

This is the definition of set Of
symptoms that about half your
neighbors use when they want to
describe a condition that consists
of one-fourth headache, onefourth
loss Of appetite. one fourth consti-
patton, and ne-fourth beng in a
bad temper.
Blame LiverS
All this they blame on their
hvers. As they describe how out
of sorts they feel, they are likely
10 stick out their tongues so that
you can see them, and tap with the
middle finger of the right hand
the place where they think the
liver is.
The treatment Of this condition
is to take some pills that will
start the liver to working. The
fact that these pills are mostly
cascara or aloes, and that all they
do is stimulate the intestines TO an
evacuation, does not interfere with
the beautiful theory that they have
started the liver to working.
All of this is an injustice to a
hard working and efficient bodily
servant. The liver almost never
goes wrong. Disease of the liver is
so rare that it provokes comment
in any clinic. The only even half
way common diseases Of the liver
are due to alcoholism (cirrhosis)
and venereal disease, and secon-
dairy cancer lighting there from
some other part of the body. In
tropical climates amoebic abscess
occurs, but this is not what the
people who are "liverish" are COM
planning about.
Furthermore, the liver is very
necessary to life. If your liver
were really to go awry you would
be sick indeed. An animal lives
about four hours if the liver is
removed.
A Storehouse
The liver is the great storenuusv
of the body. AS you utilize energy
your liver sends out glucose to the
muscles, which is ethyl gasoline
and makes your engine run. Sun
shine acting on your skin forms
vitamin D and this is stored in the
liver, sent out on demand. We all
know that liver extract is gwen
people who have anemia. the mech
anism being that the blood-form-
ing material is manufactured in
the stomach and sent to the liver
for storage. 1t regulates growth
and tissue replacement by its ere
alton Of protein. 1t stores hista-
mine which regulates the size Of
the blood vessels of the skin,
keeps the body temperature even.
In doing all this it forms bile as
a by-product, but the body, not
being wasteful, uses bile when it
gets to the intestines for the d.
gestion of fat.

Stage Hour Of Heated
Debate in ToWnHan
BY the Associated Press.

0y tie hSSOClhteu fTeS6.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Secretary
of the Interior Ickes and Senator
Ferguson, Republican, of Michigan
debated last night on the Town Hall
of the Air broadcast the respective
merits of President Roosevelt and
Gov. Dewey for the presidency and
the referee had trouble keeping
order.
Mr.. Ickes called Gov. Dewey IAN
untruthful man" and that intrepid
young gladiator" and said "the Ma
ton will not permit a chocolate SOL
dier to take over the war leadership
in January, 1945."
Senator Ferguson declared 1.-The
New Deal is bankrupt; bankrupt in
principle, bankrupt in policies, bank
rupt in personnel"
Throughout their hour debate,
heard by Nation wide radio audi
ence, applause was mixed with boos.
Shouts of No! Mol" interrupted
them and the moderator, George v.
Denny, had to appeal several times
for order. He ordered one heckler
from the hall.
Charges Reckless Talk.
mfr. Dewey's falsifications and
distortions have demonstrated that
he does not have the character for
the highest Office in the land" Mr..
Ickes said. They have also clearly
shown that he is willing to achieve
his ambitions by doing mischief to
his country and its allies"
He said he had never "heard a
candidate for public Office talk so
recklessly" and said the campaign
had proved that Gov. Dewey lis no
