Famous Country Club Seen in Film
One of the most famous country
clubs on the West Coast is used in
one of the scenes of Lucky Carson"
which will be shown at the Colonial
Theater today. Some exclusive shots
have been taken from this place,
showing the porch upon which the
guests are dining, the golf links, the
tennis court and the picturesque
drives in the immediate neighborhood.
Several scenes are taken on this loca-
ton which represent some of the
most dramatic action of the produc-
ton.
The story of Lucky Carson" deals
with the successful attempt of a
n-and- outer to retrace his steps
and regain a position in society which
he has lost through the race track. He
corners cotton, backs a power in the
financial world and then is called upon
to settle debt he owes a man he has
wronged. He tries to fix this debt
in many ways, but the injured man
demands an eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth. Through this acct
dent Carson wins the hand of a beau
tiful maid in marriage-Adv.

Instructions to
Deputy Wardens

Forest Commissioner Samuel T.
Dana in a communication sent out
Wednesday to all deputy forest fire
wardens. says that deputy warden
is the official title applied to watch
men, patrolmen and other assistants
to chief wardens.
In the latter group are included
primarily those who are not regu-
larly employed, but who work from
time to time on such specific jobs
as may be assigned them by chief
wardens," continues Commissioner
Dana in his communication.
They may occasionally be used
to advantage in posting signs, but
this can be overdone and care should
be taken not to run UP big bill in
this way. A more important duty,
to which deputies should be as
signed more frequently than has
been the case in the past, is that
of acting as temporary patrols along
roads, fishing streams and other
dangerous places during unusually
dry spells and on week-ends and
holidays.
Deputy wardens have authority
to summon assistance and to take
charge of fire fighting pending the
arrival of the chief wardens. They
are ordinarily assigned specific
area within which they are expected
to watch out particularly for fire.
When a fire occurs they should if
possible notify the chief warden at
once, but in any event should lose
no time in getting together a crew
and putting the fire out at the earli-
est possible moment. Except in case
of fire, they are expected to work
only under Instructions from chief
wardens, by whom itemized bills for
services rendered must be approved
before being submitted to this Office
for payment.
Deputy wardens can also render
effective service by keeping in touch
with local conditions, by assisting in
law enforcement and by educating
both local population and travellers
as to fire protection needs and meth

the department, it is possible for

Com. Smith
on Incendiarisnn

Insurance Commissioner G. WAL
don Smith, commented Wednesday
upon the large number of incendiary
fires investigated by the department
during the past year which form a
most important portion Of the saith
annual report of the department.
"Of all criminals the incendiarist
is the worst" said Commissioner
Smith.
I'm order to satisfy selfish greed or
necessity he is willing to place in je-
opardy the property and lives of his
neighbors," continued Commissioner
Smith.
Unfortunately juries are too prone
to deal lightly with such demons.
or all criminals they are the hardest
to convict, though all their actions
are tainted with guilt and proven so
upon trial. "A reasonable doubt
sheds halo of protection about their
heads. due to- the failure of securing
absolute, direct evidence. Recently
III conversation with a Justice of the
supreme Judicial court, I asked the
question why it seemed SO difficult to
secure convictions in we'll presented
and practically unassailable trials of
lncendiarists. and the learned Justice
said 1T is the one element of crime
that seemingly will not convict upon
clrcumstantial evidence, and it is u.s.
tally most difficult matter to con-
Wet upon circumstantial evidence
rather than that Of the most direct
KIND any criminal brought to trial
upon this charge
The sooner juries realize that the
man who commits arson is the arch
enemy Of the peace and welfare of
the communities the better"
