he will receive the same consid

application it would be investi

ness of all applicants wh are
investigated by his department.
I am working to bring about
higher standards to the prohi

STICKING TO MIDDLE
COURSE
LOS ANGELES, Sept., 24,
Clara Bow, Hollywood’s scintilat
ing red-headed actress, remain
ed in the middle course refusing
to deny or confirm the reports
that she tagged “It” to James
McKay's gambling resort at Cal
neva, Nevada, on the shores of
Lake Tahoe, last week.
The well known Mr. Me Kay
said a girl with flaming red
hair had appeared on the scene
and had been introduced as
Clara Bow and that she had
been tagged for some $13,900 odd
dollars at the roulette tables
and other playful devices found
in his establishment.
She apparently had her fin
gers crossed when she played
around for four checks to the
amount of $6,000, $7,300 and two
at $300 each, were given to the
aforesaid Mr. McKay by the
‘lady known as claret', and all
of them were returned from a
Hollywood bank marked “Pay
ment stopped.”
In an interview with the press
who seek to unravel the great
mystery, the actress said: “If
anyone in the world feels he has
a rightful claim against me for
any sum of money whatsoever,
which I now deny, I’ll gladly
accept service of any legal doc
uments.”
