A close friend of Johnny Downs tells me a strange story- that the young actor, the picture of health, lives in constant fear that he will never reach the age of 25. It started, ridiculously, at a ouija board party ... has become a deepseated hunch. The Paramount star has fought it, but yearns for October to come. On Oct. 10 he will be 25. Her appearances won’t be advertised, but Dorothy Larnour has an agreement with Paramount that she will be allowed to sing three times a week with Herb Kay s band at the Cocoanut Grove. The star was discovered by Kay and was a singer In his orchestra when they were married. When the deal for his Cocoanut Grove appearance was-signed, Dorethy expected to be between pictures. She turned down a $5,000-a-weeß offer to go on tour so she could sing with the band. Now Paramount is putting her into “Spawn of the North" and she may have to combine her singing with studio work.

Mrs. Millikan resided In Virginia for seven years and was able to give an account of things that would escape the casual tourist. Mrs. Millikan told of the climate, how it varied in different parts of the state and at different altitudes, of the trees and shrubs in the lowlands. the magnolias, mimosas, bayberry bushes, wild azaleas and yellow Jasamine; in the high mountaineous regions, of the rhodenrons mountain laurel and the box. “The roads in Virginia are winding. following trails made years ago by Indians and white men afoot and on horseback. While there are good federal and state roads, the dangerous places protected by steel cable fences, there are many mountain trails impassable to an automobile. Seven presidents of the United Slates were born in Virginia. They were George Washington. Thomae Jefferson. James Monroe. James Madison. John Tyler. William Henry Harrison and Woodrow Wilson." Estates and famous gardens were described; also the scenic places such as the skyline drive, national 1 bridge and endless caverns. Mrs. Millikan also described the schools. William and Mary at Williamsburg Washington and Lee University and | the University of Virginia. “Virginia — the Old Dominion state—is rich in history.

Frederick Van Nuys today charged that "a great cog in the statehouse machine" obtained $140,000 during 1937 "largely from ' the beer racket in Indiana." Sen. Van Nuys said he has a photostatic reproduction of the man's 1937 federal income tax return which he obtained at the Internal revenue bureau in Washington and which he will publish next i fall. "I will give the man's name and publish the income report next September," the senator said. "I ! already have purchased a full page 1 in every newspaper in the state j of Indiana.” Earlier this week. Sen. Van Nuys issued what he termed a “bill of particulars" against the Townsend i statehouse machine of the state Democratic organization. He said he would develop it into a series of radio programs in which he will "give names, dates and amounts." At the same time he declared he would not "spend a dime" to obtain the Democratic nomination at the party's state convention, but is prepared to run as an independent. He said it would be foolish to buck the statehouse organization which has reportedly pledged itself to his d'-feat in the convention. Asked if the integrity of the internal revenue bureau is not violated by the making public of a secret report. Van Nuys declared h<' would take ‘ full responsibility” for the publication of the income report. “As a United States senator I have full authority to examine any income tax report made in Indi- ‘ ana.” He said an employe of the internal revenue bureau provided him with a copy of the tax return. He would not reveal his identity. Income tax returns are secret under the income tax law and only amounts of large salaries are permitted to be published. Income from other sources is not made public. Tom Mix on Bus Tour Sweetwater. Tex. (U.R) Tom Mix is touring the nation in a $50,000 bus.

JOBLESS FUNDS START APRIL 1 Gov. Townsend Warns Official To Beware Os “Red Tape” Indlanapoli*. March 24 (U.R) Gov. M. Clifford Townsend today warned officer* and employes of the unemployment compt-nsuilon division to beware of “red tape” and not to treat persons with whom they come in contact as “exhibits A ami B" when jobless payments are started April I. Benefit payments will be made from a $26,000,000 fund built up during the last two years from a tax on payrolls. All employes of firms hiring more than eight persons will be eligible for awards during periods of "unavoidabl unemployment." The act was passed by the 1936 i special session and payroll taxes i started pouring Into the fund in April. 1936. Employes paid about I 0.9 per cent of their payrolls in 1936. 1 8 per cent in 1937 and are paying 2.7 per cent now. Townsend told the men and woment who will administer the program that “we are determined in . Indiana that we will not let the | people down. We are determined i to provide them with all the secur-1 Ity that government can give today." He warned them that “you must do a good job" because “you have been entrusted with the adminis tration of a problem of vital importance to the economic welfare of our people.” Industrial unemployment. Townsend asserted. Is the most persistent and perplexing problem in Indiana today. While agriculture is fairly well stabilized, industry is still subject to the peaks and vallevs of booms and depressions. Unemployment compensation, he

"We don’t wunt people to be hungry or In real want. We wunt the proper agencies of government to work wltli these people and try to solve their problems. “Too frequently people in real need are defeated by red tape. Their situation becomes progressively worse while minor officials argue over rules and regulations. I want to warn you against formtillzlng your work too much. Too many rules and regulations are just as disastrous as too few." o ■ . EIGHT DAYS TO irn.VTINt'KD FROM PADRONE) Thornhill as the Democratic candidates. Dwight F. Qallivan and Von Eichhorn, both of Wells county are the candidates for joint senator on the Democratic ticket. to Know Why You’re Constipated? Would you give a million to shake off that dull, dopey, played-out feeling that often comes with common constipation? Then stop a minute and think. What have you had to eat thia week? Just meat, bread, eggs, potatoes? Probably the reason you're constipated is you don’t get enough “bulk." And "bulk” doesn't mean how much you eat. It means a kind of food that isn't entirely digested, but leaves a soft, bulky mass in the intestines which helps a bowel movement. What to do? Eat some Kellogg's All-Bran for breakfast every day. This crunchy toasted cereal is not only rich in “bulk"-it also contains both the intestinal tonic vitamin 8,, and iron. Eat All-Bran every day and drink plenty of water. See if you don’t get off your heels and on your toes! Kellogg’s All-Bran is j by every grocer. J
