Every day this newspaper is filled with news. And our experi

Advertising, too, is news of the first importance. It affects
you. It is intimate, local news addressed to you. It deals with
your comforts, your pleasure and your business. It saves
you time by telling you where the merchandise is. It saves
you money by announcing fair prices. It is the guide to efficient

keep up with news that is most important to you. You miss many

The best-informed people are those who read the advertise

Crime Wave Used
CHICAGO, Aug. 8 m Miss Peggy
Holmes knows what to do with a
one-boy crime wave.
Her Idea Is that. If you can buy up
the culprit's weapon you'll put and end
to his career, temporarily at least.
' She tried It out last night and it
worked to perfection, except that the
weapon she bought wasn't worth what
ehe paid for It.
"I'm a robber" said a big-eyed hoy
when ho walked up to the ticket
agent's cage of a rapid transit line,
where Miss Holmes Is cashier. As he
spoke he shoved what appeared to be
a pistol through the window of the
cage.'
"What did you eay?" asked Miss
Holmes.
"I said I was a robber" replied the
youth.
"I can't give you thla money.

but It belongs to the company. And
anyway robbery's no way to get
money. I'll make you a proposition.
I'll buy that gun you're pointing at
me."
"Okay" was the answer. They quib
bled a bit over the price, but the boy
finally agreed to take a dollar. Miss
Holmes handed over $1 froni her per
sonal funds. The youthful robber
gave her the weapon, and disappeared
on a rapid transit train. Then Miss
Holmes looked at the gun. ,
It was a toy water pistol,

HOLLYWOOD After five years
of obscurity, Alice Adair hopes to
plant 1 her "expressive legs" firmly
on the ladder leading to movie suc
cess. Alice, 31, five feet four Inches tall,
light brunet In' coloring, has been
In Hollywood five years, but at last
has achieved distinction of a sort.
Director Prank Boreage wanted a
pair of "expressive legs with a blond
temperament" for scenes in his "A
Farewell to Arms." The owner of
those limbs will be seen In the plo
ture. At least the limbs will. Alice
was selected, and,' even though her
face will be Ignored by the camera,
she's elated.
' "It's a nice bit," she says, "and
I'm lucky to win it."
She is ambitious and eager to win
a regular film contract.
"I think I could make a success
as a comedienne if given the chance,"
she bays confidently. "And you
never can tell this bit, even though
I'm acting with my legs alone, may
be the break I've needed."
Alice, born In Paul's Valley, Okla.,
nursed an ambition to become a
dancer and In the summers studied
In Dallas, Tex. When she came to
Hollywood she danced on the stage
for six months, then played . the
piano in a girls' orchestra another
alx moiiftfha, JlnUng It pleasant
enough if not particularly remune
rative.' Bo she became a movie extra.
The brief -lived bom in musical
pictures made her dancing ability
profitable for a year, and she often
has been selected for bits before.
But nothing better came of any of
them.
