How Ya’ Feelin’?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1—He who reads a newspaper on this bleary day doesn't need my free medical advice; he who needs it can't see the headlines. Or even hold the paper in his shaking paws. 1 don't drink the stuff, myself. Has alcohol in it. This causes a fellow on the morning aiter New Year's Eve to shut his eyes (despite the scraping noise they make) and contemplate death. It is for this pitiable hulk that I have assembled formulae for perhaps the most potent hangover cures ever offered. a sufferer. Is it my fault that his eyes won't focus? Break two eggs in a water glass, sprinkle with chopped-up aspirin ‘tablets instead of salt, float on a poy of brandy, close eyes, and gulp. Infallible, » +020 +4 A RL on ' FA

He was trying on a form-fitting ice-bag with peep holes, witich had been delivered for its first crucial test by an Akron, O., rubber company. This ice bag

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 1—There Was consternation in the Warner Studio casting office. They needed a barrel-chested muscle man to play the role of William Muldoon, known at the turn of the

century as The Iron Duke, strongest man in America, for the movie, “My Wild Irish Rose” But the boys hadn't yet turned up. the right man, - Director David Butler, getting desperate, said, “We need a fellow like George O’Brien.” “Yeah” said .a casting ‘office fellow, sadly, “but George 1s in the Navy. As & matter of fact; I think he was killed up in the Aleutians.” . But the report of George O'Brien's death, like Mark Twain's, was greatly exaggerated. An agent ught George the news that Director Dave Butler was looking for a “George O'Brien type.”
