SHELTER FOR SULZER IS
 EARLY DAY CONTEMPLATION

W. H. Adams. president of the Alaska Jumbo Metals Company, who lately visited Sulzer, where his con- pany owns large amount of mining property, contemplates the erection of a shelter at that place in the near future. In connection with the proposition, Mir. Adams is quoted by a Seattle paper as saying:
 There are approximately twenty mines on Prince of Wales Island alone which show commercial values and which will immediately become paying properties as soon as a re- duction plant will have been estab- lished but which. owing to prohibi- tive transportation costs to the smelters so far away, can not now be worked at profit.
 Our plan is to take care of all these small properties and those op- erating small properties can take one ton, or even fractional amounts of ore to the reduction plants and get their check for the amount as farmer would for his load of pro duce. Small mines operating with in hundred miles of Sulzer can load their ore on gas boats or small barges and get their money immed- lately the ore is assayed, receiving the value to which they are entitled on all by-products of the ore.

BLAMES ARSON ON BANKS THAT URGE
 HEAVY INSURANCE
Banks Engaged In Fire lnSur- ance Called PerniCiouS
 Practice

NEW YORK, Oct. s.--Ths per nfcious practice of certain banks en- gaginE in the fire insurance business amounts almost to national scan dal, Fire Chief John Kenlon of New York today told the international Firo Prevention congress.
 Contendins that the action of banks making loans on merchandise by accepting fire insurance policies ss collateral. frequently drove the bor- rower to burn his stock in order to pay off the loan, the veteran fire fighter asserted.
 "Al the millions spent on correc- tive fire prevention orders, tho enor- nous amount expended for salaries of fire prevention engineers and ln- spectors, have been reduced to a point practically nil, because of the growth of arson, fostered by over insurance and wildcat perniclous banking. It is time to call halt Kenlon said.
 For a number of years banks oth- CT than savings institutions have been strenuoLsly endeavoring to cap ture fire insurance business. The practice amounts almost to a scandal. IL is one of the causes of the enor- nous Pre- losses and it is so insidious in its operation that few persons are aware of it.
 Chief Kenlon quoted John M. Scott, insurance commissioner of Texas, as denouncinE banks or bankers agents for engaging in the insurance busi- ness.

THE CL|NC|NG VINE .|S HENRY SAVAGE
 M USICAL TREAT
Popular Production To Play At Jefferson Thursday,
 Friday And Saturday

In "The Cllnglng Vine" the new will offer at the Jefferson Thurs day. Friday. Saturday and matinee Saturday that brilliant American writer of comedy, Miss Zelda Sears, and one of the promising native com posers, Harold Levey, are collabora tors to display the talents of the modern business girl.
 "The ClinginE Vine" is a comedy romance of a young American busi- ness woman who has success in every way but one-the way of love. An toinette Allen was too busy carry ing on the big operations of her mixed paints plant to think about romance, or looks, or pretty clothes until she paid a visit to her grand mother. Now Antoinette's grand mother was not of the "lavendar and old lace" story-book sort. She was young in ideas and smart in ap- pearance. She was old fashioned .n only one way. She believed that men, be they ever so modern, prefer for wife or sweetheart "clinging vine." She took her business-like descendant in hand, forced her to forget brains for beauty and beaux-and comedy and complications followed. The scenes of the play are laid at a smart American country house and much of the gaiety takes the form of singing and dancing. A musical score that is said to perfectly fit the situations of the plot has been com posed by Harold Levey, Victor Her bert's young protege, whose Lady Billy" and The Magic Ring" music for Mitzi gave him prominence.
 "The Clinging Vine Ladies' Orcnes- tra." special organization of ~frt t.,s1 .rrsn a by the company, to properly interpret the score.

 Those who have read Mir. Will Hams powerful whaling story can not but remember it as an unusually vivid and thrilling tale. It has all the clements which go to make a and with the careful production which Metro has given it, it should be one of the seasons bigges: pictures.
 Irwin V. willat, noted director of sea stories. has been in charge of translating this splendid story to the screen. MT. Willat's work in this type OF story has brought him widespread recognition; and he nas made a picture from the story and cast at his command which should add considerably to his directorial prestige.
 MT. Williams story is one of hero ism. There is a thrilling whale hunt. shown with remarkable fidelity; a bitter battle aboard ship, with two brothers temporarily on opposing sides; a search for pearls under ad- venturous circumstances; as well as many other episodes which should keep any audience constantly thrilled.
 In tho cast are several players whose abilities should make the leading characterizations especially vivid. Lon Chaney is seen in the role of Mark Shore, scheming. crafty seaman, whose sudden disap- pearance from his ship is for a long time an unsolved mystery; Joel Shore is his brother, captain of the schooner which Mark himself once commanded. As played by Malcolm AIcGregor, this part is acted with genuine skill and power. The de- iightful actress, Billie Dove, is the enly feminine player of any import ance in the cast. She appears as Priscilla, the wife of Joel, and she takes part in the adventurous pro ceedings which form the main part of the story. Others in the cast are William II Orlamond, Robert Me Kim, Bob Kortman, Otto Brower Curt Rehfeld and William II. Monr.
 The photoplay is an Irwin V. vii lat production for Metro, adapted by Julian Josephson from MT. Williams story. It was photographed by Rob ert furrle.

 It was estimated that moro than 9.ooo persons heard his sermons at each service during Sunday, while hundreds were turned away at the doors. Long before the morning ser vice started hundreds had filed into the auditorium
 The evening service was scheduled to start st 7:30 but at 6:45 o'clock the church was packed. Word was sent to pr. Stuart. and he began his sermon several minutes before the scheduled time. As pr. Stuart en- tered the entire congregation arose and gave him the chautauqua salute, and as some expressed it, met him with tears of joy and gladness in many eyes. Both the choir and con- gregation sang the old Methodist
