BOSTON. Nov. s.-Ftfty persons lost
their lives when a surface trolley car OF
the Boston Elevated Railway Company
plunged through an open draw at the Sum-

The car Is believed to have carried sixty
persons, n few Of whom. probably not more
than ten In all. escaped by jumping. The
remainder. imprisoned in the closed car,
went to their death at the bottom Of Fort
Point Chanel.
The cause OF the accident had not been
determined at late hour. The motorman,
George Walsh who, with the conductor
George McKeon. saved himself by jumping
asserted that the bridge was not properly
lighted. and that he saw no signals indi-
eating that the draw was open.
Forty-four bodies had been recovered by

SUCCEEDING IN THE MOVIES-BY JUANITA
HANSEN, HIGH SCHOOL GIRL WHO MADE GOOD

Before you can begin your climb
up the ladder of success in the
movies you must, of course, first
break in. That is often a soul-trying
task. You cannot break in by mail,
no matter what the "correspon-
dence" schools may have to say on
the subject. You've got to go to the
studios in person.
Los Angeles, Cal, because of the
many motion picture plants in it or
near it, would be the logical place
for the initial effort. But wherever
a girl goes for tryout she should be
most certain of the reputation of the
company she deals with. While the
majority of movie companies are
honorable enough, there are fake

CONCERNS in the business, ready to
trap unwary girls.
Unless you are some unusual type
that is desired for special picture,
you'll probably have to break in as
an extra woman" Unless they
jumped from the legitimate stage,
most of the movie stars of today
started their careers as extras"
Your first venture before the
screen will probably be just a part
of a crowd thrown in. as a back
ground for more important work.
Your second effort may be that of
a French maid who appears once in
five reels.
After that, if you are good enough,
you may be given some minor part.

OMAHA BUILDINGS
DOUBLE FOR MONTH
While New York Shows a Fall
ing Off, Inland Cities Reg
lister Good Gains.
THIRTY. SEVEN INCREASE

Evidence that the enhanced costs
of construction, due to the high prices
OF all kinds of materials, rising wages
and the scarcity OF labor, is having
considerable effect in many sections, is
provided by the building statistics for
September, reports received by Dun's
Review from eighty-two of the princi-
pal cities in the United States show
ing that permits taken out during that
month called for an expenditure OF
only $53,204,l9S This is a decrease,
as compared with the same month last
year, of 2.e per cent, and is not only
the smallest total for any month since
February, but is the only month this
year that does not show substantial
Improvement over the corresponding
period in 1915.
Pronounced contraction appears in
the returns from New York City, per-
mits granted at that center amount
ing to only $6,637,176, falling off
from last year of no less than 30.l per
cent. All boroughs contribute more
or less to the Indifferent exhibit, Man
haitian reporting a loss of approxi-
mately ST 100000; the Bronx, $751;
600; Brooklyn, $4S6,000; Queens, $685.
600, and Richmond, $4,000, as COM
pared with 1915. The cities outside OF
New York as a whole, make a much
more favorable comparison, the ag-
gregate of the ~eighty-one centers be-
ing SAC, 567 ,022, gain over the same
month year ago of 2.8 per cent.
There are forty-four, cities which re-
port smaller totals than in 1915, the
most noticeable being Atlanta, with a
decrease of $434,000; Cincinnati, $4l7,-
900; Indianapolis, 1887 900; Louisville,
$248,000; New Haven, 81 ,l5S,0O0; Phil
adelphia, $l,430,000; Pittsburgh, $751;
900, and St. Paul, $4,000. On the
other hand, these losses are more
than offset by the Improvement shown
at the thirty-seven centers making
gains, among them Buffalo, $4,000;
Cleveland, $500 Dallas, $4,000;
Dayton, $4l1, 900; Detroit, $2,l73,000;
Harrisburg, $4,000; Minneapolis,
1871 900; Nashville, $4,000; Omaha,
$3s6,0O0; Portland, Ore, 100000
and Springfield, Mass, $4,000. The
figures in detail, with comparisons for
last year, are given below:
