Hypochondriac Spends $5,000 A Year To Take Pills And Enjoy Poor Health
Hollywood, Calif.—(U.P.)—Parke Levy, a writer, who claims he's the biggest hypochondriac in Hollywood, has taken out a $125,000 life insurance policy to prove he takes his symptoms seriously. Nobody else does.
The other pill swallowers around town are just amateurs, Mr. Levy said, and he'll fight any man, who disagrees with one of his 13 thermometers. Who else has nine different bottles of capsules and takes one of each at every meal?
be beaten up, sincere hypochondriac. Mr. Levy said, "And I'm a complete mystery to every doctor in town. They hate to see me coming because I have no aches, no pains, no rash. I just don't feel good. Some day I'm just going pyer to a mortuary and lie down."
So far, Mr. Levy's deathbed complex hasn't shown up on his typewriter. He's the writer of the radio and movie hit, "My Friend Irma." He is, when he's feeling good, a very funny man on paper.
"But my ailment isn't funny," he said. "I spend more than $5,000 a year on doctor bills alone. I wrote so many checks I acquired a new muscular complaint. Now I keep the doctors on a retainer basis"
Mr. Levy has had every kind of expensive and complicated physical examination doctors can think of. He's been in and out of hospitals a dozen times. And nobody's been able to find anything wrong with him.
"I'm a big baby, I admit it," he said. The other day he received a 10-pound box of Pablum, tied in blue ribbon, from a friend. "Every time I play poker with the boys they watch me like hawks. They're afraid I'll toss in an Alka-Seltzer instead of a white chin."
Mr. Levy never lets them down.
He has satin ones with polka dots, silk ones with stripes, and a fancy white pair with a red valentine embroidered on the hip.
"I'm a joy to the nurses. Every time I go in for a shot, I have a fancy new pair of shorts. The nurses say: 'Well, what's the floorshow to-day?'
"At least, I never have to worry about gifts for Parke," Mrs. Levy said. "I either get him some new pills or some pretty pants."
Choir To Be Formed For Russian Songs
A choir to sing Russian Christmas songs will be organized again this year, said Sam F. Anderson, instructor in German and Russian.
"We had a fine choir last year and I hope we can have a good one this year too," said Mr. Anderson, who is sponsor of the Russian club. "We wish that all students and faculty members who know Russia or have had courses in Russian would come to the organization meetings."
Meetings will be held every Friday until Christmas at 2 p.m. at Mr. Anderson's home, 1236 Louisiana street.

As part of the evening's program, Mildred Hill, W.A.A. president explained the point system by which students may become members of the group.

New Shoes A Traffic Hazard
Indianapolis, Ind., —U.(P.)—The courtroom rocked with laughter when the smartly-dressed young woman gave her excuse on a speeding charge. "I'd just bought a new pair of shoes," she said. "They are these platform type and I couldn't tell how far down I had my foot on the gas feed."

Striped Kitty Resembles His Own, But It Isn't
Laramie, Wyo.,—(U.P.)-A Laramie, Wyo., service station mechanic has learned that a familiar face on a cat will cover most of the striped cat will be friendly.
The lesson came when Hap McKin's pet skunk—a deodorized, refined and gentle animal—disappeared. One of Mr. McKin's friends told him that he had seen the pet under a building.
The face looked familiar but it was a different animal. Mr. McKin closed his service station, opened the windows wide, and settled down to wait for a wind that would carry the memory of the stranger away.
