FIRE Department
HAS PULMOTOR BUT
IT'S RARELY USED

Life can't mean very much TO
Phoenicians," declared Fire Chief
William Simmons yesterday as he
concluded a long drill with his men
on the use of the pulmotor.
You know, we've had this life re
storing machine here for over two
years and have had but one occasion
to use it. 1t is a Wonderful appara-
tus and will actually restore life in in
stances of electric shock. drowning or
suffocation by smoke after a person
has apparently been dead for several
minutes. But we go on drilling just
the same, fully believing that an OPP
portunity will present itself when we
can practically apply the pulmotOr
and convince the public at large as to
its capabilities" he continued. The
apparatus is on duty "a hours each
day, seven days each week. l would
like to emphasize that it is for public
use"
The pulmotor. made by the Drae-
ger company, has attachments for
persons of varying ages. There is q
special attachment for infants, another
for women and still a third for men.
It's delicate mechanism requires expert
handling, however; otherwise its eff
fects may be negligible. Unless it is
properly operated, it is stated, no good
can come from it's operation, for 1t
must be pumped with the natural ac-
ton of the lungs to bring about the
desired results, it is stated.
Regular weekly drills are conducted

of the pulmotor, Notwithstanding the

public. Weekly drills are also held

Harry Carey is presenting a bully

the attraction for today and tomorrow
at the Hip. His characetrizations are
known wherever motion pictures are
shown, for he has succeeded in Great

roles Of this nature. Always convtnc-
ing. never over dramatic, always re-
naming within the range of possibility
and reason in his stories, he neverthe-

decided hit with the patrons at the

Strand

Cecil B. DeMille's wonderful mes
sage to humanity, Something to Think
About" will remain as the feature at
traction at the Strand today and to-
morrow. Entirely different from any
thing that has heretofore reached the
silent drama, Something to Think
About" contains a theme so pre-
eminently inspiring. so magnificently
uplifting, and so wide spread in it's in
fluence that it is causing the same
profound interest in Phoenix as it has
in the balance of the country. In the
hands of the brilliant array of talent
seen in the more important roles. !the
drama becomes one of the most i'm
portant of the season. Gloria Swanson
is seen in a role different from any
thing that she has ever done before
as is Theodore Roberts in his wonder
full character Interpretation, which
forms a very important part of the
present production. Elliott Dexter
Monte Blue, Theodore KosIoff, Claire
Mcdowell and Julia Faye are also
seen to excellent advantage in tbs

the public is still looking at the so, called

drawn to something else that has caused
people to sit up snd ask what next"?.
1t is the export Of sugar from St. Croix
to st. Thomas 10 which you madr refer
ence yesterday under official news 1t is
positively stated that that sugar has been
sold to St. Thomas at IL cents a pound,
while here in the island the wholesale
price is Ii cents. Now will you for the
last time call upon the Food Commission
to come forward and in public print ex-
plain to the people what it is doing in
these matters? The public has a right
to know how its interests are being pro.
tected or endangered by its deputl~s,
and II the price Of raw fish is to be any
figure the ignorant unreasonable fisher
man chooses to fix upon it, and sugar
can be exported to St. Thomas at a lower
price than the people pay in the island
where it is manufactured, an appeal of
