GUARD AGAINST FIRE
Special Precautions Should Be Used in
Arranging Holiday Displays.

A request has been issued by T. W.
Martin. city electrical inspector, that
in the interest of conservation spec
ial watchfulness should be observed
In connection with holiday displays
and decorations.
The electrical inspector urges upon
the community special care in pre-
pairing holiday exhibits involving the
use of electricity. AS the army and
navy have taken numbers Of firemen
the forces are now depleted and
everything should be done to prevent
possible fires. Shortages in both ma
terial and labor make imperative
every effort to reduce fire hazards.
The improper use of electricity has
caused a heavy property loss in the
past. This is totally inexcusable as,
when properly handled, electricity.
says the electrical inspector, is the
safest medium for furnishing light,
heat and power.
Merchants contemplating electrical
displays should consult with the in
spector, who will readily give advice
on the safest way OF constructing cleo
trical displays.

Mary Pickford returns % the Or

after several weeks absence. The pic
ture will be shown the first three days
Of the week.
The nature of the picture is one
of comedy drama with military
background. The comical situations
arise when three members of one mil
itary unit, a doughboy, a captain, and
major, fall in love with the little
star.
One Of the big features Of the pic
ture is the appearance in the military
mes of Mary Pickford's regiment
of which she is godmother and hon.
orary colonel. the 143rd field artillery
commanded by Colonel R. F. Faneuf.
The regiment hiked % Los Angeles
from Camp Kearney while Miss Pick
ford was making the picture and she
enlisted the boys to appear in the big
scenes. While there are many MILL
tary scenes in the film, it is not a war
picture-it deals with the experit noes
of body of troops while encamped
at a farm en- route to cantonment.
The comedy is conspicuous from the
start and Johanna is a character that
