AoAAA A11@ M Wo CASTING SHOP IS
 VISITED BY FIRE Bucket Brigade Saves Factory
 Cupola Is Destroyed FUNERAL OF R. C. USHER
Protestant Churches Plan to Form Athletic Association for Promotion of Clean Sports-Amcrican Legion Holds Interesting Mccting-Itcms.

The cupola of the Plainville Casting company shop was practically destroy ed last evening by fire which evil dently started from spark flying from the heating furnace The blaze was discovered by George Jester, who was about to leave his duties at 6 o'clock and the alarm was turned in. Difficulty was encountered by the fire department Tn laying hose as it was necessary to stretch several hun dred feet across the lots from Whiting street and across the railroad tracks. They were given praise however in their fine work in preventing the blaze from spreading to other parts of the plant which were threatened contin- ually during the fire. A bucket bri- gade was formed with the citizens lending willing hand.
 The part of the factory where the fire was confined is used for heating and melting the iron. It was an addi- tion erected soon after the factory started. The entire roof and part of the side walls were completely burn ed away clear to the flooring The damage is not definitely known but is believed to be several hundred dol lars.
 There is no hydrant on Bank street which is the roadway leading to the Casting company plant and the need of one being placed there was clearly seen last evening. Had there been one at point central on the street, a greater pressure could have probabl been had and the need of laying a long stretch of hose would not have of the cupola itself was saved is due to the efforts of the bucket brigade that worked tirelessly until the last spark was eXtinguished. The firemen realized when they arrived at the scene of the fire that they were in for a tough battle and directed the fighting in such a way as to keep the blaze from creeping over to the main portion of the factory.
 Had the new fire truck been in use, the heavier chemicals and pressure tanks would have been excellent for fighting the blaze.
 Robert Cleveland Usher
 The funeral of Robert Cleveland Usher. former town clerk, was held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon from the residence on Pennington avenue. Rev. Charles s. Wyckoff, pastor of the Congregational church officiated and interment was in the West Cemetery.

Time For Deflation.

M OTION picture salaries. long of
lNl amazement to the public when recited by
the publicity featured in Sunday interviews
with particularly luminous stars, may have more
serious significance in our economic system than is
generally supposed, believes the New York World
which comments in the following vein the pro-
test of one magnate against the top-heavy stpends
in vogue:
Motion picture stars doubt entitled to
large salaries they persuade producers to
pay them. That is the unwritten law Of all occupa-
tons But fees of $4,000 and 10000 for acting in
picture and regular salaries OF $4,000 to $4,000
a week for performers of the first circle OF the
higher empyrean give some substance to the con-
ention of President Brandt of the Theater Owners
Chamber OF Commerce that such incomes out
of proportion to box-office receipts. That they
conduce the higher of the films is evident.
at is to be wondered indeed whether the
easy money conditions OF the movies have not ad-
versely affected the cost OF living outside the re-
stricted sphere of the industry-whether its enor-
nous salaries and generally inflated scale of re-
Enumeration have not upset economic standards in
industries remote from the film studios That the
example Of actors OF indifferent ability making
larger incomes than bank presidents corporation
lawyers should prove corruptng inevitable.
The temptation of Cabinet officer with the offer
OF a salary OF 100000 is OF itself suffi-
cient demonstration OF the subversve influences OF
motion picture finance.
THAT the dehation of swollen movie salaries
would make the amusement cheaper remains to be
seen. But there is little doubt that it would tend
to stabilize values which they have been instru-
mental in disrupting."
