ARRESTS TO Be
MADE TO SPEED
CLEANING LOTS
Commissioner Frank Wich Says
He Is Serious In Endeavor to
Have Spotless City.

Herewith is fair warning to all
to clean all rubbage from their
alleys and vacant lots.
Commissioner Frank WITCH of
streets and public improvements,
announced today his intentions of
starting a crusade for cleaning the
city of Rock Island. Rubbage, he
said, has been accommodating at such
a rate in many places that it will
soon spoil the appearance of the
city. Particularly in vacant lots,
where tin cans and even garbage
are in some cases being thrown,
he says there is need for improve
ment-
He stated that the city has been
lenient with infractions of the city
laws pertaining to this offense for
some time but that the situation
has reached a point where action
must be taken. Some arrests may
be necessarily made.
II is believed that if the people
know of the action, many of the Of
tenders will take advantage of the
opportunity to clear up their prop
erty where there is such a need.

The movies have been heralded
for some time as the best kind of
propaganda and backing for all
kinds of good causes, such as war
work, Red Cross and the like, and
now comes news from the coast
that the motion picture industry, or
rather one of its greatest men, Will
help promote ocean flying.
An offer of $50, 900 as prize money
for aviators who will attempt a
flight from Venice, Cal, to Aus
tralia was made recently by
Thomas H. Ince, motion picture
producer.
To the first man to land sS5, 900
will be paid. To the first aviator at
tempting the flight, who, although
failing to reach Australia, reaches
the Hawaiian islands, $4,000 will
be paid. In the event none reaches
the Hawaiian islands, 5000 will be
paid to the one making the best
showing.
Tom Ince is the man who made
the Triangle film and he is the man
who laid out the plants at melville,
and Culver City, California He Is
the man to whom we are indebted
for William S. Hart, Charles Ray,

that vaudeville desires this class
of material, for people more or

see them portrayed upon the stage.
1t is a most entertaining number

patron.
Edythe and Eddie Adair, a petite
young woman, jolly looking man,
are a duo of clever entertainers who
evidently see a lot of enjoyable fun
in real life for they have utilized in
their offering of "The Boot Shop"
by Stephen G. Champlan an idea
that offers much in the way Of
comedy and patter. The skit shows
wonderful possibilities for a future
act of a similar nature as almost
any line of business is susceptible
to travesty If properly presented.
