INA CLAIRE AND GILBERT AGREE TO SEPARATION iohn Apparently Is Peeved by Actress’ Interviews Given in Chicago. By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 14. John Gilbert and his wife, Ina Claire, both film stars, have agreed to separate, according to their announcement, but both refused today to state whether they contemplated divorce. Miss Claire returned to California Friday night after completing a personal appearance in the east. She arrived at Pasadena and appeared vexed when Gilbert did not meet her. Questioned by reporters, she declared she had been misquoted in eastern interviews and declined to comment until, she said, she would "talk to Jack.” They issued the announcement later from their Beverly Hills home. “On my arrival in Los Angeles today, Mr. Gilbert and I have agreed to separate.” Miss Claire stated. “Any difficulties o: misunderstandings we have had are at least probably as much my fault as his. "I did not wish to discuss my personal life at this time, but owing to the fact I recently have been misquoted. I felt it was only fair and more comfortable for Mr. Gilbert, myself and our friends to stop any further evasions.” Miss Claire said, that Chicago interviews in which she was quoted as declaring that "I’d rather be my husband's mistress than his housekeeper,” were intended to be facetious. Miss Claire and Gilbert were married in Las Vegas. Nev., early iiw 1929, Several months later. Miss Claire moved to a separate house in Beverly Hills.

The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must watch your liver and bowels—there’s no need of having a sallow complexion—dark rings under your eyes . —pimples—a bilious look in your face—dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound as a substitute for calomel to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. l>r. Edwards Olive Tablets are gentle in their action yet always effective. They help bring about that natural buoyancy which all should enjoy by toning up the liver and clearing the •system of impurities. Dr Edwards Olive Tablets arc known by their olive color. 15c, 30e, 60c.—Advertisement.

ORYS WILL AID THURSTON BILL Reapportionment Measure May Cause Filibuster. By Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The drys are making common cause with the loser states In an eleventh hour attempt to upset reapportionment in favor of the Thurston bill, enlarging the house from 435 seats to 475 seats. Hearings in the house census committee reveal that not only is there a safe majority favoring the Thurston measure, but that the rules committee has a majority of one in favor of a ruling. A poll of house members indicates that there are 240 members from dry and agricultural states due to lost membership under the Fenn law. These might vote for enlarging the house membership and thus save their states from loss of seats under the present reapportionment schemeShould the Thurston bill come to the floor in the next fortnight, the western and southern states gaining under reapportionment rely on help from Speaker Longworth, from Ohio, which gains seats. Failing there, California, Texas and other members probably would filibuster. California is the biggest gainer under reapportionment, increasing her seats from 11 to 20. Under the Thurston bill her proportionate gain would be nil. MOBILIZE RAIITwORKERS Soviet Conscripts Men to Help on Transportation -System.
