wood”—about the foreigners who have found jobs and new lives in motion pictures. Don’t know how straight this is but, if Doug really plans such a book, he might devote a few pages to a Hindu, Gurdial Singh, working right on the same location with him. Singh is a graduate of Punjab university, holds a bachelor of arts degree from the College of the Pacific, a Master’s degree from the University of Southern California and plans to get his Doc- , tor’s degree there and then go to Oxford for further study. Ironically, he is cast in the picture as a thug. It was an echo of two tragedies when George Palmer Putnam delivered a painting to Irene Castle. The painting depicts one of the planes that Vernon Castle flew in the war. After his death, one of his buddies sent it to Mrs. Castle. Only a short time before Amelia Earhart’s last flight, Mrs. Castle gave the picture to the woman flyer. She made one provision—in case anything ever happened to Miss Earhart, the picture was to be returned to her or to her son, Billy. Now Putnam fulfills this sad duty.

Courtney and his hatchetmen today were making the time-honored occupation of running a book on the ponies as hazardous as operating a speakeasy during prohibition days. Unable to get convictions in the courts, Courtney started last week on a raid-a-day program aimed at i making it too expensive to operate i a handbook. He gave his policemen hatchets and a list of addresses. Courtney charged that remnants ■ of Scarface Al Capone's old gang was making a million dollars a I year taking bets on the ponies, i Their "horse parlors” were among II the first five attacked. Yesterday's raid on the Wilson-, I i Clifton club was typical. About 400 I patrons, mostly women were • thrown into panic when Courtney's • men went to work with their Wati chets. “It looks.” commented the man- • ager, Jack Eisenberg, "as if the I boys are here.” The patrons were herded out. Several women fainted and had to i be carried out. Within an hour the I opiate fixtures had been reduced i ‘ to wreckage. Technically the police have no right to smash the bookies’ fix- ' tures but they know they have no legal standing in a court of equity. Legal authorities point out sim- ■ ilar tactics were used against ■ speakeasies during the early i stages of prohibition. Later the I government seized the fixtures and sold them at auction. City police, spurred by Court-1 j ney's activity, raided, five small bookies and a policy wheel oper ; ated by a negro. They arrested 12 alleged operators but did not wreck the establishment.

HUSBANDSLAYS i RIVAL IN LOVE Model Husband Slays Rival Whom His Wife Claims She Loved — Chicago Aug. 23 —(UP) —A coroner's jury convenes today to hear i ' the story of Rudolph Sikora, 31, a model husband, who killed the man his wife loved. Mis story was one of unrequited ' love and jealousy—a jea’ousy so i strong he waited on a street corner | for five hours yesterday until he saw his rival Edward Solomon, 35, an accountant, then pumped five bullete from a target pistol Into Sol-' omon's body. A dozen passers-by ' saw Solomon slump to the sidewalk.! A score stood by while Sikora care- j fully placed the pistol on a newspaper near the body, lit a clgaret I and waited for police. He told assistant state’s attorney Leslie Curtis he had no regrets, no tears to shed. He said he had, done it for his wife, Margaret, 22, I an attractive brunette, to whom he, had been married for three years. | "I had to save her soul,” he said “There was only one thing to do. 1 did it.” Mrs. Sikora had tears only for the man her husband had slain. "Rudy was a perfect husband,” she sobbed, "But >!• loved Eddy. I had planned to obtain a divorce and marry him. Poor Eddy. I loved him I more than anything else in the i world. “Rudy never had another woman land always gave me his pay check! but 1 didn’t love him. He gave me hl® devotion but Eddy gave me romance and love. He used to ioad me . poems.” Sikora’s mother-in-law. Mrs. Elizabeth Boehrne blamed her daughter for the tragedy. "Rudy was a good boy, a good husband", she said. "He paid out one-third of his salary for a nice apartment, scrubbed the floor® and washed dishes. He wouldn’t even let her get up to prepare breakfast. She and that Eddy are to blame.” , Complete details of the tragedy i remain to be told to the coroner s jury. Mrs. Sikora and her mother were scheduled to testify after Sikora. However, during long hours of questioning last night, police were i able to piece together the story of I tangled lives. Sikora met his wife at a dance, Aug 7, 1935. Six months later, they were married. A few months ago she met Solomon at a cocktail; , lounge. She had known him for four years, having worked side by side with him in a Lasalle street bond houee. "Eddie and I realized we were perfect companions," she told Cur-| ! ti 3. "He had a beautiful mind. I had never loved Rudy, maybe I thought ! so when I married him but I found , 1 out t didn’t. 1 "There are only three levels of I happiness — contentment, eatisfac . Ilion and finally happiness. I was : contented with Rudy but never satisfied or happy." —o Baptist Sunday School Picnic On Wednesday A picnic will be held Wednesday evening at Hanna-Nuttman park for the children of the Baptist Sunday school and members of' the congregation. Conveyances wil the congregation. Conveyances will be at the church from 4 o’-; clock on to take the children to the picnic grounds. o Brother And Sister Are Drowned In Pit Petersburg.
