"Jlut the scene brought you luck. 1 wish you every success lu your new career." "What about squaring some of the ah fiction you've told ubout Stuart, eh, Julie?" prompted i-u-eien.

Sharlene stayed in her bed through Sunday and Monday, not eating, just lyinjs there very still with her eyes chitt ed.

He hurried to i her in smiling relief, und led her to their deck chairs, where he hail spent the best part of- the past two days und a half in lonely state. Her sport hat was drawn over her exhausted eyes, and the big collar of her coat turned up. People sat up as she passed, glanced curious ly at her, tor she was the celebrity of the ship. They had all been twittering about how "too awfully bad it was for a bride to be sea sick.- And the only person, on bohrd who was, except for a cou pie of timid old ladies who thought they must be seasick as this was their first ocean voyage. , The bride's tall graceful form, her clothes, the bit of her lovely face they couid glimpse, whetted their curiosity. . . . "Yes, she did look like her pictures in the news papers." Stuart received scant at tention from them. He was just Miss Stundring's husband a poor artist or something.

(AP) A bizarre kidnap warning re ceived by the head waiter at the cfo where Thelma Todd danced at her last party injected new mys tery today into the puzzle of the screen actress' death. The report of the abduction threat came as the county grand jury prepared to Investigate evi dence which the foreman, George W. Rochester, said strongly Indi cated Miss Todd was slain. - Alex Hounie, who served the Trocadero- table at which Miss Todd dined Saturday night us guest of Stanley Luplno, English comedian, and his wife, told police two men forced his' car into the curb last night and shouted: "You've had your warning, s take it easy." Hounie produced a postcard which he had received through the mails. Newspapers had been clipped to make the message: "Head waiter, Trocadero, I-os Angeles, falir. Withhold testi mony or kidnap trip." Capt. Maine Steed ordered a guard for ilounle's home and sent the card to be examined by finger print experts. louuie knows nothing about the case, and has nothing to con ceal," said Captain Steed. A theory of "murder by monox ide," which became the focal point of the grand jury a investigation, was evolved from the maze of un explained circumstances that pre ceded the finding of Miss Todd dead last Monday morning. Her body wns slumped behind the steering wheel of her big phae ton in a seuside garage. An In quest called her death from car bon monoxide "probably accident al," but recommended further in vestigation. Anita Hammond, hat check girl at the Trocadero, told police Miss Todd made a telephone call from the ladies' lounge of the restau rant Saturday night at 11:45. The actress was very anxious 'that no one overhear her, she said. Detectives conjectured whether the call may have had anything to do with Miss Todd's sudden change of mood fcom gayety to morose ab straction as reported by Arthur Prince, a guest at the party. Ex-Husband Called A request was sent to Miss Todd's former husband, Pasquale Dl Cicco, now In New York, for his appearance when the grand jury hearings open Monday. Other film colony notables, who had seen the blond comedienne in her last hours of life,- ulso were sum moned. t; Rochester saijd, "We"? are not pointing the finger of suspicion at anyone. We are anxious to learn from Mr. Di Cicco whether there was anything In Miss Todd's life that might lead him to believe she was murdered." The wealthy sportsman, who was divorced from the actress in 1!:I4 after a two year marriage, left Los Angeles by airplane tne day after the body was found. Although not a member of Miss Todd's party Di Cicco visited the cafe Trocadero Saturday night. THIRD VICTIM OF R. R.

ADVISE8 PRUNE GROWERS TO MAINTAIN FIRM 6TANO Roseburg, Dec. 18, 19f5. Editor News-Heilew: Following a conversation with Mr. Harding in regard to the prune situation in Douglas county and the other prune districts of Oregon, I am writing you, by his suggestion, with the idea that perhaps you might use some part of this in some suggestion or editorial to growers. As you probably know the price of ' prunes ia deplorably low, so much so that prune growers are In a bad way financially. Ut course various things enter into the reasons (or this low price, such as loss of moat of the export outlet, curtailment of the buying power of many potential prune users throughout the mid-west and the east, etc. Those are things be yond control ot the growers ot Oregon, However, the growers are to blame for part of the extreme difference iu price between Ore gon prunes and those of Califor nia. That difference is from ia to lie per pound, while normally ftc below California Is all that is asked by brokers. This extreme price difference between Califor nia and Oregon is caused by the over anxiety or Oregon growers recently to dispose of their fruit on a slow market. The crop ill both states was large. Naturally it will take a long period to move same into consumption. If tbe Ore gon growers will be patient and not get Jittery there is reason to hope that this large crop can be cleaned up without too much loss by the growers. Right now the Oregon price has been forced down Jc by this action of growers. 1 attended a meeting Monday ot the North Pacific Coop. Prune Exchange and know whereof 1 speak. Whether you can use this in any way is for you to say, but it the Idea could be put across to tho unfortunate prune man at thiB time it might in some small way help a bad situation.
