note:
ITO all my movie stars and my

According to Variety" Edwards

the greatest Negro moving picture
company in the world. Edwards
backed up his announcement with
loud clothes and smooth tongue.
He opened an Office and sent out word
he needed 100 beautiful Negroes"

Office was crowded with applicants.

Edwards explained it would be
necessary to charge each $3.50 to as

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. "a
A scrap of steel, no larger than a
mans thumb, strained by the intense
cold beyond the breaking point, gave
way Saturday and by it's yielding
hurled into eternity the lives of eight
persons, passengers aboard the east
bound 500 train No. 2.
Eight others lie in st. Joseph's hos
pital. Some, it is feared, near death
from exposure and shock; others, be-
reaved by loss of dear ones in the
suddenness of grim tragedy, almost
without the will to live.
Coach Plunges Into River.
The combination dining and obser-
vation car Of the train was the vehicle
OF sudden death that struck when
frozen switch bolt loosened as the
train approached the quarter-mile
trestle bridge that leads into town.
The engine and passenger cars up
front rode through the switch in
safety. But their weight bearing
down on the treachery of tired metal
spread the rails.
The combination car, last of the
train, left the track hundred yards
west of the bridge, reeled drunkenly
a moment swaying on the bridge ap-
proach, and then crashed downward
sixty feet where icy water swirled its
threat of fate.
No Warning of Tragedy.
There was no warning, hardly the
space of woman's scream. One in
stant within the car was gayety and
Yuletide cheer, merry group intent
on visits home for Christmas chatting
of toys and tokens borne to loved
ones. In the observation car a man
dandled child on his lap and smiled
at the wife and mother as she sat at
lunch.
A second later and the landscape
reeled. The woman sitting at the
window screamed. The man, half
rising, shouted to the porter to re-
lease the air brakes. The child slip
ped from his grasp. The porter,
paralyzed for breath of time by
fright, recovered, leaped frantically
for the brakes, but was too late. Just
for the fraction of a second the car
clung dizzily on the trestle's side.
More and more it wavered; then with
a sudden plunge leaped downward
where the waters eddying claimed
their toll.
The front wheels left the bridge

charge of the combination observa-

of his heroism in staying in the wa
terrified car to the last, passing out
victims, long after his hands had
ceased to feel them, refusing mittens
and telling rescuers to "give them to

bruised in the crash. He denied that
he was hero, but his wife, at his
bedside, had no doubts about it what

The doormat of the White House

important, If not exactly epochal.
Here is just how it happens.
Mr.. John J. Hokum, before whom
lesser bankers crawl and cringe
in the financial world, has an ap-
pointment with the President for
10 a. m. He feels puffy and rather
important. Who wouldn't be, with
the President seeking his views on
this or that?
What Takes Place.
Mr.. Hokum energies from his
suite in the New Willard Hotel,
