Hollywood, (IP) John Patrick Mi
chael Cudahy, grandson of the foun

play boys, was settled Friday in I

Just a week ago the young mil

in reality It was travelling west.
On the wrong side of the thor

driven by Charles B. Lang of Eagle
Rock. Neither Cudahy nor Lang was
Injured but police took Cudahy to
the station and permitted him to
settle down on one of the nice Iron

when a girl is wearing a sun tan

Speaking of sunback suits Ve
found this one in the CorvalLis Ga

"Because an old Salem ordinance
says that 'it shall be unlawful for
any person to expose his person
from the neck to the knee the
Statesman warns the Salem beau

taboo. Salem girls must have a pe

they have their knees In the rear."
But even at that, now that the
girls have succeeded In getting their
backs all tanned, we cant refrain
from asking, "What of it?"
When we were a kid we used to
get our back tanned frequently, but
it was by another process and a lit

We dldnt get our back tanned
sitting on any beach. In fact after
we got our back tanned we couldn't

PETE SOLVES
PLAJE OILING
Culver City, Cal., P) The "new
lubrication principle" used by the
record-shattering endurance plane
Angeleno is a direct grease feed to
each rocker arm. This was installed
under direction of Pilots Relnhart
and Mendell as a result of the dif
ficulties which brought down the
army airplane Question Mark in Its
record flight six months ago.
The Relnhart system is merely a
direct feed by grease gun and tube
to each rocker arm individually,
whereas the Question Mark had a
single feed to all rocker arms in a
continuous flow. It was a burned out
rocker arm bearing in the left mo
tor of the Question Mark which
ended Its flight. That particular
rocker arm was farthest in the line

receive "no benefit" from the pro
