Triangle Mystery
In Dallas Cleared
Up By Police
DALLAS, Tex., July 7 (UP)—
The name "Odessa" created
quite a bit of suspense around
Dallas early yesterday.
it began when two men en-
tered an elevator at Southland
Hotel shortly after midnight and
demanded of Karl Hart, a bell-
man, that he tell them what
ficor Odessa was on.
Hart said he didn't know
Odessa. The men called him a
liar, whipped out a pistol and
beat him over the head. The
bellman was taken to Parkland
Hospital.
A few minutes later a man
and a woman appeared at the
Jefferson Hotel. The man pro-

duced a .38 caliber pistol and
ordered Sam Moon, an employe,
to tell him on which floor was
Odessa.
"If you don't tell me, "I'll
blow your out," said the man.
Then he changed his mind and
turned and walked out.
About 2 a. m. a man fired a
pistol through the window of
the Texan Cafe (8105 Houston
St.). Preston Parker, a cook,
said about five shots were fired.
Police put ends together and
made three arrests: (1) a 33-
yeat'-bid husband overcome with
jealousy, (2) a 20-year-old man
at whom No. 1 had fired as the
former sat in the cafe with No.

Bookie Held Up;
Money Passed Out
Among Bettors
CHICAGO. July 7. (UP)—The
loudspeaker was blaring out the
post positions for the fifth race
at Arlington Park, and nobody
noticed the stranger who walk-
ed quitely into the gambling
joint.
"They're off," shouted the an-
nouncer.
"It's a stickup, said the stran-
ger.
He pulled a .32 caliber pistol
from his pocket, ripped out the
telephone wires and lined up
the 19 eager bettors in the place
against the wall.
Forcing the proprietor from
his cage, the bandit reached into
the man's pocket and pulled out
a handful of $5 and $10 bills.
"Chicken feed." said the ban-
dit. "Where's the real money?"
"That's all there is," said the
nervous proprietor.
Disgustedly, the bandit passed
the money out to the patrons
and left.
Chortling, the bettors stuffed
the money into their pockets
and walked out, the proprietor
light behind them pleading for
his money back.

HOLLYWOOD, July 7, (UPl
Oil millionaire Glenn McCarthy,
invading Hollywood with his
wife, five children, four pilots,
three limousines and two air-
planes, went to work to re
form the town.
fifteen years ago the 41-year-
old McCarthy was swinging a
sledge hammer in the Texas oil
iielns. Now he can throw mil-
lions around like firecrackers.
He isn't making movies to make
money. Why should he?
He's making movies he'd let
those five children go see.
"1 want my kids to see some
movies with real Americanism,"
McCarthy said. "None of this
gangster and shoot-'em-up stuff.
My object is to educate people
into good morals and out of
hating each other."
The dark, drawling Texan
jumped into the movie business
with a story of the nation's 4-H
clubs called "The Green Prom-
ise.'' If about a 4-H girl who
doesn't like sharing everything
communally on her farm. She
wants a lamb she can call her
own.
If you think this sounds like
a political allegory, you're right.
McCarthy bought the story
from writer Monty Collins and
hired Robert Paige to act in it.
Then he charged in on Holly-
wood. leaving behind:
A $20,000,000 Houston Hotel,
a $15,000.(7)0 Winnie, Tex.,
chemical plant, a radio station,
an application for a television
station, seven weekly news-
papers, a bank vice presidency,
an airline directorship, an ex-
six oil and natural gas com-
panies.
Things like that are keeping
McCarthy too busy now to pro-
duce more than one movie at a
time. After the first of the year,
he said, he'll have time to make
a whole studio-full of -'Amer-
ican" pictures.
The only members of the Mc-
Carthy entourage missing are
his radio station manager, news-
paper manager and his private
press agent.
They'll be along later.
Meanwhile McCarthy has
started movie producing right.
First thing he ordered was a
talent search.

Rt.udy the above drawing for a few min-
utes. Notice particularly how the btle
flow* from the liver into and out of the
gall-bladder and thence Into the small
Intestine where it mlxea with the pertly
digested food Just below the stomach
Bile is a necessary adjunct to proper di-
gestion. Its absence from the Intestines
Inevitably causes putrefaction and fer-
mentation.
NATURE'S DANOER SIGNALS
When your stomach, liver, and Etill
bladder have been upset by improper
eating or drinking, or when they are
not working well because retained and
putrefying food matter in your intes-
tines is poisoning your entire body,
you, sooner or later, begin to feel
some of the following symptoms:
Your brealh may become unpleas-
ant (halitosis), your tongue coaled, a
bad taste in your mouth, your coflee
<and tobaccoi lose their natural
flavor, your food does not agree with
you; you may have heartburn, gas
and dhry spells, you may be troubled
with belehin?; at night the gas in
your bow°ls may press upon your
bladder making you get up frequent-
ly. thus breaking into your sleep.
In the morning you are tired lr^
stead of refreshed. Gradually your
health is impaired.
Your complexion may become sal-
low or bilious; Hark rings may appear
under your eyes, you may feel lazy,
dull and Irritable or blue and melon
cholic. You may have frequent colds
(catarrh) or dull head-ache; your
bowels stop their free, full and nat-
ural action; you have constipation,
gas, putrefaction and self-poisoning
("intestinal toxaemia" or '"acute gas-
tritis" as many doctors call it).
HOW TO GET RELIEF v
You can relieve this conditiortT
usually overnight, by taking Calotabs
at bedtime and drinking water freely-
next day.
The beneficial effects of Calotabs
lie in the fact that they arc (1) laxa-
tive, (21 antiseptic to the intestines.
(3) diuretic to the. kidneys, (4) effec-
tive in relieving symptoms of bilious-
ness and acute gastritis due to consti-
pation or faulty digestion.
Calotabs are' pleasant to take
(sugar coated), prompt and effective.
Try them anrl see. Follow label di-
rections. At your druggists', j "i*
