Flirtations and marriage and gin, Maternal distress and a motor-car mess— Great grief! How the trouble rolls in! —Old Song Revised. IN his brief but far from uneventful twenty-three years, Michael J. T. Cudahy, heir of the Omaha, Chicago nnd Kansas City tinned-beef fortune, has had many instructive experiences; Some of them have centered about beautiful girls and liquor that was not so beautiful. And the climax came recently in Los Angeles when, just out oi me nospuai, young -Mr. Cudahy found that his pretty wife, Muriei, was suing for divorce I Even those who have deplored young Cudahy’s recurrent whoopee found his plight pitiable It was on last July 29 that California repor ♦ ers, looking for news, discovered that the boy was a patient at the Hollywood Hospital. For five days he h^d been under the care of three physicians. The muscles of his legs were rigid as if in death, and while official confirma tion was missing, it was freely hinted that the use of his arms and voice was also impaired. It took eleven days to effect a complete cure. At the expiration of that period, he was removed to his home, where hia devoted mother, Mrs. Edna Cudahy, admitted the original source of the trouble.

No one was seriously hurt, but when the police gave Michael a sobriety test, their finding was un favorable. He was given the alterna tive of a minimum of ninety days in jail or a $5,000 fine, which Mother Cudahy proVnptly paid. “I thought I was driving east in stead of west,” was Michael's in generous “out.” Girls, girls and more girls have loomed large and picturesquely in tile career of the Cudahy scion. At one time he was much seen in the society of Joan Crawford, motion picture star, who laughingly denied rumors of an engagement and later proved her point by marrying Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. # CAUSE AND EFFECT Superlmpgud on a Bottle of the Type from Which Cudahy Drank Ar* Two Sketches Showing an Impression of His Motor Car Accident and His Poisoning as a Result of Drinking Bad Liquor. Two years ago he planned to elope with Marie Astaire, also of the screen. But Mama Cudahy blocked cuch ifnpetuous nuptials by having her boy jailed in Santa Barbara on a minor offense charge till the schgme had thoroughly evaporated. The prelude to his incarceration was a party given in horror of Slifs AstafrC. Another guest was a youth named Bobby O'Brien, who also comes of a wealthy and prominent family. “Say,” remarked O'Brien at the height of the festivities, “this party ought to have a grand climax.” He suggested, perhaps in half in jest, that Michael Cudahy pick himself a bride. Mike picked Marie. He had known hex only a few weeks, but she was beauti ful, and he was young, and so—. With Bobby O’Brien as potential best man, Mike and Marie started out to commit immediate matrimony. The clerk at the Marriage License Bureau seemed willing to listen to reason. Michael looked all of the twenty-two years he claimed, and there appeared to be no reason why such a fine, up standing chap shouldn’t win a bride if he wanted one. But the clerk, to he sure, called up Mama Cudahy on the telephone. Michael’s arrest followed. Michael was "sprung"' as soon as Miss Astaire, attractive even in tears, returned to Los Angeles. “1 just put him to bed for safekeeping,” was Mrs. Edna Cudahy's victorious announce ment.

As we ex hale, the lungs return to their original size. In their movements, the lungs must of necessity rub not only against each other, but against the Veart, the walls of the chest, and the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a parti tion which separates the chest from the abdominal cavity. With such a mechanism friction must be reduced to ' a minimum of utmost efficiency is to be maintained. This is accomplished by enveloping the lungs in a double aac, between the two layers of which b a fluid The two layers of the sac are called the pleurae. One pleura actually covers the lungs. The other lines the chest cavity. The pleurae are glossy . and moist. The surfaces are exceed ingly smooth, an important factor in reducing friction. In considering pleurisy, distinction *iust be made between dry pleurisy •nc. pleurisy in which the amount of fluid between the two layers is in I creased. Exposure to cold often is re sponsible for the dry type. The af fected portions of the .pleura become dull and lustreless and the opposing The Above Diagram Shows i Cave of Pleurisy on the Right Side of the Body, With the Formation of So Much Fluid in the Fung That the Latter is Displaced. surfaces are joined by bands of fibrin, a thready substance formed as a re sult of the inflammation. The friction here is so great as to cause sharp pain in the side when a deep breath is taken. This type usually lasts a few days and then gradually improves. The cause may not always be merely due to ex posure but can be brought on by pneu monia, tuberculosis, cancer, abscess, and even grangrene of the lung. The more common variety of pleurisy is that in which a variable amount of fluid is formed. Catching “cold” seems particularly $o dispose an individual to this affection chiefly because it so weakens the resistance that disease germs are able to become active and inflict damage. The germ which is most prominent in taking this advantage is the one causing tubercu losis. In other words, a person who is susceptible to attacks of pleurisy or who has suddenly become a victim of a severe attack should realize that the possibility of tuberculosis exists. Other gprms which have been held responsible for this type of pleurisy include those causing pneumonia, typhoid and diph theria The amount of fluid formed may be so great as to displace the lung (see drawing). The fluid sinks to the bottom of the enveloping pleura; the lung, filled with air and therefore lighter, floating on top. The more the fliyd forms the more compressed tho lung becomes, ultimately being Squeezed into only a fraction of its original size. The heart, too. may become displaced because of the additional room taken up by the fluid. With such radical changes occurring in the chest prominent symptoms are to be expected. Severe pain on the affected side( accompanied by fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing are experienced. Although the termina tion of this disease is usually favorable the outlook depends mostly upon the cause which is underlying its onset. DANGER HERE!

"Just incom patibility. Mike’s a per- f feet gentleman and 1 like him better than any boy I \ ever knew.

It is said that the suit will not .be- contested and that a settle raent will be made out of court. An analysis of the dregs of the liquor that felled her husband was rjiacle by L. lluback. Assistant f hemist of the Los Angeles Federal prohibition enforcement office. “Creo sote,’ said Mr. Huback, -sniffing a finger. "That’s what did it. Probably the stuff was converted front rubbing alcohol.” He added that in manv cases from 2 to £ per cent of creosote placed in a beverage would cause some form of paralysis in the drinker’s body. The diversion of public attention to young Cudahy’s gin-and-jane woes has served to focus interest on his family background. He is the grandson of old Michael Cudahy, who made mil lions in the meat-packing business. Old Michael’s son. Jack, whose widow Mrs. Edna Cudahy is, was the central figure in an extraordinary Kansas City scandal years ago. Returning to his home, Jack Cudahy found as Mrs. Cudahy’s guest one Jere Lillis, a good looking young bachelor. Cudahy slashed Lillis with a knife, but the vic tim recovered and there was no prose cution. Following a separation, the Cudahy# were divorced. But the strong tic of J" JOYOUS-THEN Michael J. P.

How the trouble rolls in!” Why Women Chipped Away This Tombstone THIS curious-looking tombstone pictured at right appears to have been desecrated by van dals. A large portion of the right side has been hacked away, as you can see. But the motive behind the mutilation is not an ordinary one. The stope stands in the garden of a museum at Sarajevo, Jugo-Slavia, the town where Archduke Francis Ferdin and of Austria and his wife were assassinated, thus starting the World War. Originally discovered at Zgosea. near Visoko, this memorial to an un identified aristocrat who died in the Middle Ages is considered very valuable because of its antiquity. How came it, then, to be so signally damaged? The answer gives a startling instance of the strength of a super stition. Credulous women come fur tively from far and near with hammers concealed on their persons. With the implements they chip off bits of the stone, take them home, pulverize them, put the powder in milk or water, and swallow the mixture!
