Fountain City Men Use
Gas Masks to Find Fire

FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind, Jan. s.
Army gas masks were used In locating
the blaze in the Fountain City school
building Friday afternoon. The fire,
when discovered, caused such dense
smoke in the basement of the building
that it was impossible to enter the
building to locate the blaze. Two re-
turned soldiers who were assisting in
the work, went to their homes and re-
turned with their gas masks.
Wearing the masks, the two men en-
tered the cellar, located the fire, and
easily extinguished 1t. In an effort
to locate the source of the blaze, sew
eral holes were cut in the floor Of
the class room above and some dam
age was done to gasoline stove in
the basement. The opening of school
may be delayed some time until the
building is repaired. The building is
valued at 100000.

WASHINGTON.

In the new Geraldine Farrar picture,
The World and It's Women which
Goidwny will present at the Washing
ton theatre, beginning Thursday, two
children play important roles during
the first part Of the picture. They pre-
sent the hero and heroine in the days
OF their childhood and show their in
tuttive attraction fr one another long
before circumstances bring them to-
gether later in life.
The boy who plays the young prince
Is handsome little Francis Marion.
He conveys in his stiff and courteous
bearing toward the little daughter Of
his fathers chief engineer, the train
Ing for aristocratic life which he Is
destined to pursue. He bows like a
courtier upon meeting the little girl,
but gradually unbends and plays at
reading the story of Cinderella with
her. Later when he Is called away,
his naughty manner returns, and he
again bows in his most princely man
ner.
Traffic is tied up for fifteen min
utes, one traffic cop Is dropped in the
sewer, the Mayor and the Alderman
ere tapped on the head with a twelve
foot dry goods box and Charlie Chap
lin is stuck IN a pile of hot tar in
the opening scenes Of "a Days Pleas
ure," which will be seen at the Wash
ington theatre. commencing Thursday.
This production marks Chaplin's
fourth picture Of the million dollar
class, which he is producing for dis
tribution by First National Exhibi-
tors Circuit. Eastern critics who
have seen advance runs Of the produc-
tom declare that 1t embodies the
hearty laughs of his previous First
National Success, Shoulder Arms,
IA Dogs Life" and "Sunnyside," but
sis in itself the most unqualified laugh
success he has yet produced.
The famous comedian makes de-
cided departure from his previous pic
ture, intending to eschew the slap
stick for events that are likely to hap
pen on a busy corner and on an ex'
cursion boat.
The management of the Washington
theatre has had every assurance from
the United Artists Corporation that
the next production made by Douglas
Fairbanks, to be shown here Sunday
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, is
the most elaborate, costly and stupen
dous picture he has ever turned out
from his California studio.
When Doug" began his picture, i'm
madiately after he had finished his
first United Artists release, His Maj
esty, the American" he called con
ference of his associates at his studio
in Hollywood, Calf, and told them
his idea for the next story. Everyone
was astonished. Doug" was abso
lutely determined that he was going
to do something daring, and with thai
he insisted that everything from be
ginning to end had to be Of the mos
( elaborate order.

The House That Jack Built

Whatever may be the opinion the adult cerning the house that Jack built and the live stock that he kept around it.. certain that since built house. he owned it, and lived in it and forebore to rent it. and by token paid to anyone else. For this reason, doubt less, lacks has down to posterity with thosexof Three Wise Men of Gotham, partic ularly because he had so much of practical things
 
 The joys of life are various. appeal diff ferent people in divers ways. course but to joys having good wife reading a good book, having good friend and eating good meal which many will say up the best there is for us during existence, the joy of living in your own house. The for this pleasure old as the human heart for they spring from up forever with it.

Many Wise People Already Know About the Subject Of this Story

Yesterday I had one of the most interesting days that have spent for some time. I simply reveled in drap- erfes. Since purchasinr my home l have been more or less interested IE the furnishings thereof. and so when overheard lady on the street say that Doris Heyman had in a new line of beautiful French and English draper ies. | went right over
 And they are beautIfuH Each pat tern is so distinctive and rich looking that one is sure that each piece is the one they want And then along comes another one just as attractive
 To avoid getting so hopelessly tangled up in the yards and yards If pretty stuff I decided to select the draperies for each separate room at one time and not think about the others at all. And then I realized that I hadn't the faint est idea as to how much material I would need and I didn't know how to measure Of course l knew that by means of a foot rule or yard stick and a chair. with perhaps the aid of a box. I could get some idea of the amount that would be required, but the prospect did not sound alluring.
 But Mir Weyand, manager of the draDery department, relieved me of any such undertaking by explaining that Doris Heyman would send q man out to my home who would measure every window so that l could tell exactly how much material would he needed for each one.
 All that | would need to do would he to select the design that I wanted for the hangings.

MECCA-BLYTHE ROUTE NOW IS FAVORITE

The Mecca Blythe Phoenix route is being taken by the largest number of persons travelling back east from the Pacific coast, on advices given at Los Angeles that it is the shortest mileage of any route. This is information that reached the Phoenix chamber of com merce yesterday from Los Angeles. The route is more than 200 miles shorter than the more southern route from the coast to Fl Paso. This route as pointed out to travellers out Los Angeles affords the traveller an op- portunity of seeing the largest mum Der of cultivated areas en route, in- cluding the Pa1o Verde valley (Blythe) and the Salt River valley, and also af- lords a break in the monotony of des- ert by mountain roads, making withal the most enjoyable route from Los An geles and the north Pacific to Fl Paso and the East
 selection of two routes is given to Phoenix, the pivot of all travel through southern Arizona. One is the Needles Park Phoenix road and the other tho Blythe Mecca Phoenix road, which is given the preference at this time.

Presidential Campaigns

nized the possibilities of the political strength of Andrew Jackson and took the upstate Crawford following into the Jackson camp, persuading Tam many to come along.
 The Jackson newspapers played the very limit of hero worship. They pub hshed what purported to be General Jackson's address to his troops before the battle of New Orleans. in which Jackson was quoted as referring to the British troops fresh from the field Of Wellngton's victory over the great Napoleon" The same error has been made many times since despite the fact that the battle of New Orleans was fought six months before Yelling ton defeated Napoleon at Waterloo.
 This adulatron disgusted the con servatives. One Adams newspaper spoke of the vulgar and illiterate Jacksonites, to whom it is impossible for civilization to be civil"
 Jackson's majority, both popular and electoral, was so large that people in New York and Washington knew that he was elected within less than two weeks after the last elections-a re- markable thing in those days before the telegraph and the railroad were dreamed of.
