Feb. 8— (U.R) —Tli“ senate interstate commerce committee today voted a favorable report on the Norris resolution authorizing the federal power commission to investigate existing rates charged for electrical energy by private and municipal power companies. Senator Norris, Repn., Neb., appeared before the committee to make a brief explanation of the Lose Fat Safely and Quickly Kruschen Salts — (a perfect combination of the six mineral salts your body should possess to function properly) purify your blood of harmful acids, and aid the kidneys and .bowels to throwoff waste material—the continual formation of which is probably the cause of your fat. But don't worry just as long as you have Kruschen Salts. Take a half teaspoon every morning before breakfast in a glass of hot water —little by little that uglyfa: disappears, you'll feel better than ever before—years younger, more energy. You’ll soon possess that enviable beauty, clear skin, snarkling eyes, superb figure which only perfect health can impart. An 85e bottle (lasts 4 weeks) at Holthouse Drug Co., or any progressive druggist in America. Money back if Kruschen doesn't convince you that it is the safest, qu'ckest, easiest way to lose fat.

I * c Whether the tournament will be ' held in 1935 will depend on condi-: tions. Brother William said. He in- i dieated, however, that the tourney j - may be abandoned permanently.

Brother William indicated that Cathedra! would defend its national championship won last season. The Indiana Catholic H. S. asso- 1 elation has but eight members this i season.

Minna is “authorized and permitted to dine, dance, and ‘go place.? with any eligible and unattached male of her selection, between the hours of 12:00 noon and 2:00 a.m., withouteither party incurring those dangers which are supposed to follow such a transgression of the codes conventional.” Continuing in serio-comic tone but in legal verbiage, the contract provides that the permission is automatically cancelled by the availability of Sefton, who, in all cases, “shall have undisputed right of way.” The contract is signed by Sefton and legally witnessed. It expires May 19, 1934. Over at Paramount, they are singing the praises of Harry Ruskin, who has invented a new kind of backstage story in which the understudy gets sick on opening night and the leading woman has to go on.

It is a beautifully bound edition of “Men Against Death.” Famous surgeons from all over the world wrote chapters for the book, which was compiled by Paul De Kruif. Each one of these surgeons has l autographed the first page of his article to Marie. The donor had to send it thousands of miles to get the signatures. For shrewdness, W. C. Fields awards the palm to a ranchwoman in Sierra Madre. Two days ago, the “You’re Telling Me” company went on location and set up cameras near the woman’s home. Before the first scene was shot, she started her radio full blast. Entreaties were unavailing. The director finally paid the woman $lO to turn off the machine. Next day, the company returned to the same location. They found not only the radio going full blast but 12 kids playing hockey with tin cans. Maybe you don’t know the story about Paul Luk-

FALLING ALARM SCARES BURGLAR Pittsburgh.—(U.R) - Attorney Hermann D. Grote's home-made burglar alarm, after 16 years of inactivity. failed to work—but It did scare away a burglar. The alarm, a half century old bell hung in a tree behind the house, was to summon tiremen stationed nearby. An attached wire led to the Grotff bedroom. Th% invention received its first test recently when a burglar entered .Mrs. Grote’s bedroom recently and she pulled the wire. The bell fell clattering ta the ground. The burglar fled. Firemen, even if they heard the bell, did not know what it meant. All the firefighters who knew of the ■ alarm had left the department : years ago. j Grote still believed in his system ; and set up the bell again, explain-1 ing to the new firemen they Were
