NAID TESTIFIES N KELLY TR Says Derothy Mackaye Was Often With Him Los Angeles, May 12 (®—Dorothy Mackaye, actress, became the center of renewed interest today in the trial of her admirer, Paul Kelly, screen actor, for the murder of her hus- band, Ray Raymond, musical com- edy star. Miss Mackaye faced the prospect of taking the witness stand not only to testify against Kelly, but also to defend her own name. The new turn in the story of the | bare knuckle battle in Hollywood v] culminated in death, came it was made known that Miss Mackaye would be called to the stand immediately after the question- ing of Charlotte Ethel Lee, negro | mald in the Raymond home, wWho | witnessed the fight, is completed The mald turned out to be the un- willing witness against Miss Mack- aye. From the witness stand yesterday the maid told the jury that Kelly, in Raymond's absence from the city during a tour of the musical comedy in which he was starred, brought Miss Mackaye home almost nightly from the theater where she was ap- pearing in “The Dove.” There were “many times” the maid hesitatingly admitted that the actress did not re- turn home at night. Throughout the investigation ef her husband’s death following a battle with Kelly, which the screen jnvenile has admitted was over the affections of the actress, Miss Mack- has staunchly declared her frieddship for Kelly was “clean and noble” and that she had refused the demands of Raymond that she give up this friendship. The maid still was under cross ex- amination at the adjournment of the court, but attorneys said her testi- mony probably would be completed soon after court opens this after- noan. Miss Lee gave the jury an almost blow-by-blow account of the battle, during the recital of what she des- cribed as a one-sided fight between | the film actor and the 50 pound lighted musical comedy star. Kelly sat-with his head bowed. Her ac- count was similar to that which she previously had given the police, tell- ing how Kelly held Raymond with one hand while he beat him in the face with the: other. Raymond, she sald, was knocked down several times and once Kelly pounded his face while he held the smaller man on the floor. She told of pleading with Kelly not to hit Raymond because he was ill and of helping the stage actor to his feet after repeated knockdowns. After the fight she bathed Ray- mond’s head and face which she said ‘was swollen on the left side. The lett eye was almost shut and his | mouth was cut and bleeding. The nextemorning she saw him | agdin, unconscious and laying on the | bedroom floor, having fallen from his | bed. A doctor was called and Ray- mand was taken to the hospital where he died three days later. Miss Mackaye was not in the court room while her maid testified. Early | in-the morning sesslon the actress became {ll while Dr. A. F. Wagner, | county autopsy surgeon was describ- | ing' in detail the injuries Raymond received in the bare knockle battle | with Kelly and which the prosecu- | tion contends caused his death. Wag- | ner stuck to his previous story that | Raymond had died as a result of a | hemorrhage caused by the beating. Kelly, however, seemed much af- fected by the maid's story. Fre- quently he flushed or paled and ‘when she told of telephoning to Mrs. | Raymond at his apartment he wiped perspiration from his forehead.

More than half the time, physi- cians tell us, there is another cause—much more serious— that is responsible, Yet how few mothers are really aware of it. The next time your infant cries— heed the warning. If the child is healthy, if his little body is pro- tected from such things as stick- ing pins—the trouble can most likely be traced to Urea irrita- | tion. For this is something you cannot see—and Baby cannot tell you! Here’s Real Drmger The stinging acids in the urine crystallize almost immediately into tiny, gritty particles—so small they are invisible, yet so harsh as to turn the sensitive ekin into a raw, inflamed surface. Nor is frequent diaper-changing a remedy. The only positive pre- ventive of Urea irritation is to keep the torturous acid crystals from contact with the body. A New Method of Relief A remarkable baby powder has now been perfected for exactly this type of irritation. Whereas ordinary . talcum powders dust off almost as soon as ap- plied, Z.B.T. contains a special ingredi- l ent which adheres o closely to the skin | as to make it almost completely mois- ture-proof. Thus a delicate, protective coating is formed against dangerous acids, irritation and chafing, Yet the powder does not cake, and allows the free, normal flow of perspiration. i In addition, Z.B.T. contsins a mild an- tiseptic that counteracts the slightest infection and soothes the skin back to a, healthy velvet-like texture.

(DECLINE OF SPANKING GIVES COLLEGES PROBLEM Suicides Among Adolescents Traced to This Fact and Lack of Philadelphia, May 13 UP—Failure to teach their children self control and “the decline of spanking as’an merican institution” are the chief causes of suicide among adolescents in the opinion of Dr. Charles W. Burr, noted pychiatrist. “To be a man, & boy has to be taught self control,” Dr. Burr said in addressing the County Medical society last night. “We must re- turn to the old system of the cause and punishment and the idea that you will get only what you work for. In that way you will save the | lives ot many men in the genera- tion to come.” | Mistrial Declared in De Autremont’s Case Jacksonville, Oregon, May 12 (®— 1ercuu Judge C. M.
