Allen did not approve of motion pic

direction that she became a convert.
In fact, she has been converted into
Ia motion picture star
1t is not for want of an occupation
that Mrs. Allen has turned to the
screen. In the first place, she is a
wonderful cook, and no good cook
need lock for a job these days. BY
proxy, Mrs. Allen cooks for thousands
Of homes, for she has several cook
books in several million hands, and
she conducts widely read depart
ment in The Delineator, called 1.-THE
Housewives Forum and she con-
tributes to many other magazines,
syndicates and newspapers. She is
lecturer of note, an advertising ex-
pert, a wonderful business woman
and a successful wife and devoted
mother. Still she has time for the
movies.
Patriotism is the motive for this new
move. She has just come to realize
how much more effective the screen
can be made than print or talk, and
when she allowed her mind to con-
template the distribution" she was
screen star without further argument.
Her name was signed on the dotted

SOCIETY OUT IN FORCE
Contents Are Carried Out by the
Most Prominent Citizens and Lead
ing Society Women
Of Keokuk.

The elegant, old historic home OF
w a Daniel at Second and High
streets was thoroughly afire IN Hs
rpper part when Miss Anne Is. DAVIS
looked out of the window across the
street and saw smoke pouring OUT
ALI over the roof; just before noon
today.
The ceiling of the second floor and
the roof were badly burned. ana
aside from the fire damage to the sec
ond story, the water flooded the Ilrst
floor The loss will be a couple OF
thousand dollars.
The fire started from an ell.
sctric light in the secono
moor hall and burned through
the ceiling into the attic. There
1t quickly grew and spread
until it had attained large proper
lions before it was seen by a neigh
Dor. The fire department was tnere
In hurry after the alarm was turned
in by Miss Davis, and not much was
consumed after that, but 1t took
lot of water from two lines OF nose
to extinguish all the fire.
When the Old Clans Gathered.
The contents of the house were
carried out by neighbors and placed
in safety. Many prominent men and
women were hard at work at that
task. Heads of big corporations car
rying chairs and rugs passed IN the
hall, society women carrying vases,
cut glass, diamonds, family photo
graphs and old family silverware
The most valuable Of the lighter ar
ticles were taken over to the Davis
home. and the furniture was placed
on the lawn.
The people working effectively at
the fire, If listed would make a roster
of the prominent citizens and the
smart set of Keokuk seldom collect
ed in so complete form. And every
body who came along stopped to help
carry out things. The piano and some
heavy furniture had the greatest
weight, but husky young men quickly
had it on the lawn and under rugs.
Work Under Waterfall.
During most of the rescue work,
the water was pouring down through
the ceilings, and everybody was
Bprinkled, poured or immersed. Mrs
Daniels was soaked completely while
getting her special treasures out Of
the second story.
The roof of the house is gone. The
second story has the walls intact, but
not much else consequence left The
first floor ceilings will mostly fall
off and the wall decorations are
ruined by water.
But of the contents, even the win
dow curtains were taken out before
they were wet.
