TO MAKE VIGOROUS PROTEST TO CITY MISSION-MORE PRO- FICTION TO PUBLIC THAN IT IS TO THEM

A vigorous protest against the abol- ishment of the office of city weight and measure inspector will be made before the city commission this morning by a committee composed of J. Frank Rush ton, M A. Myatt. J. Ed Hawkins and M. c. Guggenheim. The retailers claim that 1t Is as much or more to the public s interest to have this office maintained as 1t is to theirs.
 They state that protection to both the retailer and the public is afforded by the office, which, if withdrawn. will re- suit in exceedingly harmful results this winter when the retail coal business is on.

WOMEN OFFER AID
 ID COMMISSION
Committee From Suffrage Association Offers Serv-
 ices in Crisis

Preparatory to a meeting before the city commission some members of the ex. ecutive board of the Birmingham Equa headquarters to discuss what line they should take in offering services to the commission on this recent crisis.
 It was decided to make the conference which had been granted for Il o'clock, one of investigation and offer the assistance of such members of the association as would do volunteer work for the good o1 the city
 The following committee met the com mission and were received with attention and interest: Mrs Solon Jacobs, chair. man; Miss Amelia Worthington, Mrs Angus Taylor. Mrs. Nixon Norris. Miss Winnie Freeman, Mrs. Jack Bowron, Mrs Sidney M. Ullman.
 Mrs. Jacobs, spokesman for the com mittee, said in part:
 "Women of the city are interested in civic matters and are endowed with a civic conscience in such a crisis as this which so directly concerns women. We come to offer services, and so as to work intelligently we inquire how much of the proposed cuts in the city's appropriations will bo carried out This might seem i'm. pertinent. but we are as women chiefly concerned with the meat, milk and gar- bage, and are offering the sympathy. un- derstanding and help of the women of this our city. with the desire that this conference may aid in certain ends of pr phn1a "a gists. desire to sink the issue of suffrage and come as women interested in the well fare of the city"
 MT. Ward answered Mrs. Jacobs. saying that there had never been a time in the history of the city when it needed the hand of its men and women as now.
 MT. Weathery asked Mrs. Jacobs com mittee for its attitude toward the city commission, stated some tentative plan was under consideration for the disposal of the garbage. A consumer of large garbage was deslrous of enlarging his plant. and had proposed to take over the garbage collection of the city, lease the equipment, take charge of the crema- tories and collect all garbage. With this as a considera tion it might be we'll to have inspection so that 1t would be known the work was done well. Mrs. Jacobs said 1t was not the idea of this committed to undertake any work alone, but they desired to work with any and all groups and be at the disposal of the city to be made use of when necessary. She said per haps the informal suggestion might be considered practical and workable to d. vide the city into precincts. each having a woman vested with some police power to inspect the garbage collection. this plan to be worked out at a mass meeting of women.
 Mir Ward stated that 1t was possible the inspection of milk would have to be discontinued, and the commission would be derelict in it's duty if it did not let the women help in this.
 Mr. Weatheriy, after thanking the com mitt6e to meet with the civic board and the commission tomorrow at o'clock and formulate plans for possible future work.

PHOTOPLAYS AND

And Realism

By GARDNER MACK.

Tho photoplay, with its intense
realism. has brought into being a
new type Of entertainer who Is

The stunt actor" is the person
who is willing to do all manner
OF things to inject realism into
the working out Of the story that
Is being shown in rhotoplay form.
This does not necessarily mean
that these people are tcmpera-
mentally reckless s--bccause they
might be the most quiet and even
tempered of men and women in
private life. 1t means that in the
enthusiasm OF going through the
parts assigned to them they will
stop at nothing to make the ac-
tion real. jumping from high
clins into the sea, riding at sixty
miles an hour in an automobile.
and dashing into some obstruction
that srnashes the machine, driving
runaway horses or making a trip
In an aeroplane or a balloon are
simple feats.
There are as many stunt ac-
tresses' as there are actors. Pearl
White: Of the Pathe Company. is
one Of the these; Miss White has
her picture work. Florence La
Badie. Of the Thanhouser Conn
pany. is another. MSS LaBadie, 1t
Will be remembered. Jumped from
the deck Of an ocean liner into
New York bay--which she regard
ed as small matter. Kathlyn
Williams, of the Selig forces, is
still another. Miss Williams
specially is working with wild
animals.
In the same company with Miss
Williams is Edith johnson. another
stunt actress who not only works
with the animals in the Selig zoo, but
also plays all sorts Of daring parts.
Miss johnson has written in a most

Among other things, she writes:

stunt actors In moving pictures, A
stunt actor who combines talent
with Willingness to take a chance.
Is always In demand.
"A motion picture actor or actress,
worthy OF the name, is always ready
and willing to take q chance, In
fact, II Is frequently the duty of the
director to curb this propensity, for
rivalry In the stunt line CT work
sometimes develops, and the players
seek to outdo each other in actions
Of daring.
THE wise director endeavors to in
corporate as much exciting action
as possible in the play without over
doing the matter and causing his ac-
tors and actresses to assume imprac-
tical risks.
Adding realism to the movies is
all In the days work. There must be
realism. There must be convincing
atmosphere. Otherwise the real trees
and rocks, the real rivers and lakes,
the real mountains and valleys would
prove a mockery to the action Of the
actor instead Of lending true asmos-
phere.
ITO the ambitious young men and
women wishing to become motion

say don't-emphatically. 1t is hard
work; risks are daily undergone
which would never be thought Of in
any other occupation. The hours are
long, and there Is no applause from
enthusiastic audiences to spur the
players on to further efforts. They
only must follow out directions

CITY OW PUEBLA MAY
 COME TO SOUTHWEST RUN

It is reported that the Alaska Steamship company has chartered the steamer City of Puebla from the Pa cific Coast Steamship company to take the place of the wrecked liner Mariposa in handling the rapidly growing business of the company in Southeastern Alaska.
 The City of Puebla has been on the Puget Sound-San Francisco run for number of years and is one of the palatial passenger boats of that line. Her passenger accommodations are excellent and she has large freight carrying capacity.
 It was reported several weeks ago that the Alaska Steamship company had negotiated for the steamer, which would be used largely in car ing for the business resulting from the governments railroad building activities.

USUAL LAWSUIT FOLLOWS DISCOVERY OF PAYsTREAK.


 NOME: The new strike of third beach line at Nome already promises to create another legal war like that which made this camp infamous in the old days. Already the report is circulated that several suits are about to be filed and it is known that not less than twenty people are claim ing ground now staked by others. The whole country around the scene of the strike has been staked so that the tundra presents the appearance so familiar of old. In some instances claims have been staked over and over. Development work will be done on the ground this winter and until that progresses it will not be possible to tell the exact value of the discov- cry. The discovers claim to have five feet depth of pay and that the for nation indicates that the ground is just the same as the old Third beach operated in years past back of the city. Nome is all worked up over the discovery and looks for big things
