THE HORRORS OF A
CINEMA SHIPWRECK

| CAS- Related by Clara DeVera, A
Motion Picture Extra Who Knows!)
Never again for me, Mabel!
thought working in the movies would
be fun-and it was up to the time OF
that shipwreck scene. But after
you've swallowed about barrel of
salt water and got your knee skinned
trying to get into lifeboat and got
wet to the skin and thought every
minute would be your last-well, take
it from me, you'll think twice when a
motion picture director phones you an
invitation to meet him at the beach
Lying Lips" is Right!
The picture? Oh, it was Thomas H.
Ince's Lying Lips" and, believe me,
Mabel, if they had given me half a
chance I'd have lied good and proper
and said / was sick and couldn't be
there when I got that invitation to
shop up at the beach last Monday.
1t was almost dark then and the big
searchlights on the boat were playing
out over the water and lighted path
for US as they began taking US over
to the ship in rowboats.
You know | had always supposed
that those shipwreck scenes in the
movies were fakes, just pasteboard
boats built right at. the studios and
made to teeter around on springs.
Well, grille, I've changed my mind.
The steamship Governor was quite
real, thank you. In fact, it's the larg
est passenger boat in the Pacific
coast service, I understand. Well. the
boat was rolling and pitching in
most uncomfortable fashion Sudden
ly the director gave the orders for us
did you ever try getting into life
boat above about mile of roaring
pitchy black water?
Don't Weaken, Dearie
Goodness, it makes my knees weak
even now to think about it. Some
how we got in-and now here comes
the scary part-the director gave
orders to lower the boats Some boob
who handled the rope on our boat let
it out too fast with the result that
one end was pointing down toward
the water and the other up to the sky.
Yell? I'd say I did! We just hung
onto anything handy-somebody's net
or leg or neck or the side of the boat.
I thought of all the mean things I'd
ever done and wondered if having
given pennies to blind men and such
things would even UP the score. Of
course there were life savers in gov
eminent rescue launches down below
to pick us up when we fell, but that
was mighty small comfort. How did !
we know where we'd light and how
lid they? /
Well, anyhow, nobody got drowned
though it's a miracle, and they do say
The picture is going to be a corker.
Pm going to see it when it's released |
md have good laugh at myself
low that it's all over. (Since making
his picture the steamship Governor
las gone down with a loss of 8 lives.)

NO JAZZ FOR HARDING
President Does Not Care for
Modern Syncopators.
Prefers Good, Light Music Such as
"ErminIe" and "Robin Hood"
With Dash Of Heavier Stuff.

Washington.-The "shimmy" music
produced by the modern jazz bands,
with their wailing' saxophones, aero
batic drummers and muted cOrnets,
may have taken the country by storm,
but it has no appeal to a man here in
Washington whose opinions on many
subjects are earnestly listened to by
105, 100000 people.
His opinion OH the question of music
is worthy Of consideration, for he used
to play In a band out in New Gale
donna, Ohio.
He is the President of the United
States.
Not for him are the braying from
bone, clashing cymbal and all the
other jazz equipment to which Amer
lea today is toddling around in in
Vulnerable dance halls. Rather the
graceful strains Of the. blue Danube"
or the Merry Widow\ sJaltz."
Investigation disclosed that Presi-
dent Harding has never been able to
regulate his musical sense with the
syncOpation of modern jazz. He likes
good, light music. His favorite operas
are "Erminie," robin Hood" 'The
Bohemian Girl" and others Of the type
that were so popular decade ago.
He also likes his musical dish flaw
ored now and then with little Of
the heavier stuff such as AIDA" or
Madame Butterfly"
But jazz? No

URGE QuADRuPLE SALES
ON DANv|LLE MARKET
Chamber of Commerce Acts
to Speed Up Service in
Handling Tobacco.


DANNli.LE VA. Nov. 20.---The
ChamEer Commerce Friday night
initiated general inquiry into the
local tobacco market situation, more
especially with the idea OF bringing
about quadruple sales during the
present rush period in order that the
tobacco growers VIII not have to re-
main here for two and three days
waiting TO reach the floors.
The tobacco warehousemen have
been clamoring for four simultaneous
sales for some time. holding that the
road improvement work done around
Danviile for the purpose Of improv-
ing trade conditions has been to some
extent nulliicd by the inability for
the farmers to get prompt service
Inquiries made by telegraph to
Wilson. y. c.. which two years ago
wrestcd the title from Danvile. re-
vcalcd that at the present time. with
a heavy influx of tobacco. that mar
kct Is holding quadruplc sales. One
Danville man witnessed such sales
and declared that il was possible To
sell 10000 pounds of tobacco in a
day.
The larger buying corporations.
which can he counted on the fngers
of one hand. are opposing the quad
ripple sale plan partly because of the
expense in maintaining an additional
corps Of buyers. They say that the
principal reason why other markets
sell more tobacco than Danviile is
because the piles are much larger
than those on the local floors.
The tobacco committee of the
Chamber of Commerce has Keen
charged with making full and en-
haustive inquiry into the situation
with view to improving local con-
ditions. Danville has lost many
thousands OF pounds OF tobacco be-
cause farmers arriving here and find
ing the market Elutted with small
chance of selling their tobacco with
in two days have carried IL to the
surrounding smaller markets. Local
merchants are Interested in the de-
liberations. sensing pccuniary loss
in the removal from Danville OF every
load OF tobacco taken away
The matter will be cXhaustivcly
gone into during the present week
