CANDY KITCHEN GUTTED
Prompt Work BY Firemen After Mid
niqht Saved North Street Property


The White House Candy Kitchen
on North Street was badly gutted by
fire at one o'clock this morning
Prompt action by the firemen saved
much of the stock and goods as well
as the buildings adjoining
Tho cause of the blaze Is unknown.
Chief Harry B. Spear says that when
he entered the store with a lantern
crawling under the heavy pail Of
smoke which filled the apartment, he
found the flames burning vigorously
on keg of cork siftings commonly
utilized to pack white grapes and in
which it is believed the blaze started.
An alarm was sounded from Box 4S
by Chief Brazil after a passerby noted
blaze fiickering in the rear OF the
store. The firemen were quick in re-
spending. all the companies being cal.
led out, and the release was rung in
within 25 minutes.
The stock and fixtures were we'll
gutted and the large pane OF plate
glass in the south window smashed
The proprietor, NJ. Betor. knew moth
ing of the blaze until he was called
after the fire was out, The loss to
building and stock is estimated at
about $1,000 mostly covered by insur.
ancc.
Neighboring merchants have moth
ing but praise for the firemen this
morning for saving the surrounding
stores for the flames and water were
kept strictly within the candy store
and the fire merely scorched the
apartment overhead. The peculiar
construction OF the buildings along
North street at this point gave loca-
tion for a serious fire if prompt action
had not been Forthcoming,

Albany. Dec. Edward e. Mccall
of New York, a former justice of tha
state supreme court, was last night
removed from office as chairman OF
the downstate public service commits
sion by Governor Whitman, who sus-
tanned in part the charges preferred
against the commissioner by the
Thompson investigating committee
OF the legislature.
The governors decision was that Nc
Call, in violation Of the public service
commission law, owned stock OF cor
poration under the supervision of the
commission. Other charges alleging
neglect Of duty and inefficinecy were
dismissed
In an opinion Governor Whitman
reviewed at length the evidence to
support the charge that Chairman
Mccall was the owner of 3S7 shares
of stock in the Kings County electric
light and power company, as well as
the commissioners explanation that
before entering upon his official du-
ties he transferred these holdings to
his wife.

HIGHER PRICED GASOLINE
Next Year $3.50, 900 May Be Added
to Cost of Motoring.

~ SSSh w 'OeH'hS'
Passengers and commercial cars
sold in the United States in the year
ended June last totaled more than
100000 Close to 100000 cars were
licensed in this country for 1915 Au-
tomobile authorities figure each car
consumes 500 gallons of gasoline a
year. At that rate automobiles in
use in this country are consuming
over 10000 900 gallons annually. II
may amount to 1,5OO,000,O00 gallons
in 1916.
In addition TO use by automobiles
it is figured gasoline is now consum-
ed at the rate of perhaps 100000, 900
gallons year for other purposes.
This would make total consumption
this year in excess of 100000, 900
gallons. Next year it may possibly
exceed 100000. In 1910 con-
sumption of gasoline by automobiles
was but 225,000.000 gallons, so that
the increase in five years has been
over 800 per cent.
Even though prices rise no higher
the cost of motoring in this country
in 1928 is apt to be about $3.50, ,00C
more for propulsion than this year, OF
which $1OO,OOO,000 will represent en-
hanced prices of gasoline, and $50,
100000 the cost Of consumption by
new cars.

Film Makers Anxious
To Have Public See
Hoqu Picture Plays
Are Turned Out.
Dy GARDNER MACK.

One of the most significant features
Of the new era In the production Of
motion pictures Is the effort that is
being made by the film companies
throughout the country to familiar
ize the patrons Of the pictures with
the process Of manufacture. Here
tofore, manufacturers of film have
been rather opposed to taking the
public into their confidence. But
now no EFFORT is being spared to ac-
quaint the public wl:h the PLAYERS
and the various steps through w:,.ch
the pictures go from the time the
scenario Is received until the fin sh-
ed feature play is turned out.
Evidence OF that was recently had
IN this city when Gladys Hulettc
and a party of Edison players ap-
peared ut Crandall's Theater and
MADE brief speeches regarding their
work. The Edison company encour-
ages It's players to place themselves
AT the disposal of the exhibitors for
Just such purposes wherever they
may go. Several other companies
nave sent their players into the the
aters to be exhibited along with the
MIN showing some of their plays.
The most radical step in this d.rec-
ton that has yet been taken, how
Carl l.aemmle, president Of the Uni
versal Film Corporation. has ex-
tended to patrons of pictures
throughout the country to visit the
Cpiversal City-the vast establish
ment in the foothills of the sierras.
just outside of Los Angeles. AS
thousa nds of people will be going to
the Pacific Coast to visit the San
Franc SEQ exhibition, there is no
doubt that many people will accept
p the invitation. Those who do will
not have cause to regret their jour-
ney.
Universal City is really one of the
c!fic coast. 1t is a town that is one
vast theater. Every building is
piece OF scenery, and every street
forms setting for a picture.
The city was erected with a view
Oh auoS's obtaining the greatest efficiency
Laemmle declares. The buildings
are built with q different face on
each quarter. The east end of the
structure might represent a house
IN Dublin. the west the replica OF an
Italian home, the south the front of
a French dwelling. while the north
would be the duplicate of a Swiss
cottage. This obviates the great ex-
pense formerly experienced in the
building OF house every time a
certain scene would nave to be re-
produced. The entire city, while sub
stantlaIly erected, can be dissembled
In a few days and another city OF
vastly different architecture erected.
The city Is approached from Los
Angeles via the Lankershim boule-
ward. As you come out from around
the foothills the city Is brought into
view showing its administration
