Common cold3 often settle in throat
and chest; at the first sniffle rub on
Children's Musterole.
Children's Musterole is just good
old Musterole, only in milder form.

and gets such marvelous results be
cause it's NOT just a salve, but
a "counter irritant" helpful in
drawing out local congestion.
Musterole has been used for 30
years. Recommended by many doc
tors and nurses. All druggists'. In
three strengths: Regular Strength,
Children's (mild), and Extra Strong.

'Likeable War
Again Awaited
by Bert Hal!
Lafayette Escadrille Hero to Flee
Hollywood for "Good Spot"
Fought on Russian Front
HOLLYWOOD (UP) He nearly
broke up two wars, almost became a
Chinese war lord and, although not
active in military affairs at present,
believes some day he will either
"start or stop another war."
He i3 Bert Hall, former member
of the Lafayette Escadrille and call
ed by some "the greatest living ad
venturer." In 1932, Hall almost became a Chi
nese war lord with a real Chinese
nonentity as the figurehead. The two
were planning to take over North
China, with Peiping as their head
quarters, and had the backing of
Japanese interests. But something
went wrong and Hall was arrested as
a gun runner.
In his younger days, Hall had his
fling in a much bigger war and al
most became an historical figure as
a result.
Fought on Kussian Front
In 1916, Hall had been sent to
Russia as a special envoy to build
up the morale of Russian fliers. He
had toured the entire Russian front
and shot down several German planes,
for which he was decorated by the
Russian government and sent to Ru-
mania on a special mission.
There he met King Ferdinand andsided at Fair Play
Prince Carol (now king). One morn-j very fine visit last
ing he took off with a companion
ship from Galatz in Rumania. Their
mission was a secret one. The Ru -
manians had learned through spies
that the German Kaiser, the Em
peror of Austria, the King of Bul
garia and the Sultan of Turkey were
having a conference at the royal pal
ace in Sofia and Hall's mission was
to try to bomb them.
"Our route was by way of Buch
arest. Nilkopo and then Sofia." Hall
recounted. "Owing to clouds, we had
to travel at an altitude of 2.00C
metres. It was an awful night.
Scored Two Kits
"At last we found ourselves over
Sofia and picked out the palace. My
partner started for the Parliament
buildiugs. My first bomb was a di
rect hit. I let go at 100 meters. The
second was a miss it landed in the
gardens. The third also was a per
fect shot. I could see people run
ning in all directions and how I did
wish that my second bomb had been
a luckier hit.
"My partner made three perfect
hits and left one of the Parliament
buildings with a great hole in the
roof. When we lauded at Galatz we
were congratulated by everyone from
King Ferdinand down. They gave
me the St. Stanislaus medal and the
decoration called 'Vertu Militaire.'
"I afterwards found out through
our spies that my last bomb had
landed within 100 yard3 of the
Kaiser and gave everyone there a bad
scare.
While awaiting another war that
will interest him. Hall is comfort
ably situated at a movie studio where
he is writing a scries of air stories
almost as melodramatic as his own
adventures.
"But," he 6ighs, "I'd chvxk almost
any good spot for a war I liked."
OLD WARSHIP MODEL
TAKES 6 CO-HOURS WORK
NEW LONDON, Conn. (UP) It
took Christopher Culver, local marin
er, exactly GOO hours to complete re
construction of a model of the U. S. S.
Chesapeake, a ship of war of the old
navy, which is owned by the New
London Jibboom club, No. 1.
The reconstructed model row rests
in a mahogany case, fashioned by two
of its members.
