Mabel Heikes Justice Tells
Them Original Stories Are
Not Equal to Demand

The writing of moving picture
plays has become a national pas
time, but despite this fact, few of
the stories submitted for screen
production contain any original
ideas. Mabel Heikes Justice, noted
short-story writer, told the League
of American Pen Women at to-
days session at the Hotel Shore
ham.
The simplest idea often car
ries the strongest play, she said,
and writer's who would enter the
moving picture field were urged
to stick to simple, but original,
stories in submitting plays for
production on the screen.
Original Plays Sought.
There are not nearly enough orig
fnal plays being submitted to sup
ply the demand, she told her audi
ence, with the result that the NOV
ing picture producers are turning
to the production Of stories publish
ed years ago or plays that had for
merly been presented on the legiti-
mate stage.
The difficulties Of writing on
timely subjects two or three months
in advance, in order to be pub
Mshed in magazines, was stressed
by Mary Meekin Atkeson.
She told of the embarrassment
of a well-known journalist, who had
written a story on General Dawes,
in which he referred to him as
always being Johnny on the Spot"
when needed
The story was published the day
following Dawes failure to reach
the Capitol in time to cast the
deciding. vote on the nomination Of
Charles B. Warren for Attorney
General.

for Water System

to join with the Board of Trade
in a city-wide campaign its COM
mittee on insurance and fire pro-
lection has begun for high-pres-
sure water system for fighting
downtown fires, it was announced
today.
In a letter to the commissioners,
the committee, headed by David
M. Lea, has requested the city
heads to give the project serious
consideration with a view to in !.
cooperating provision for it in the
next estimates.
Urged 20 Years.
Pointing out that the project has
been urged by the Board of Trade
for at least twenty years, the tom.
mittee told the Commissioners that
the necessity Of 1t grows more
urgent each year, as the city
grows and hazards increase. and
should be taken up along with the
other improvements which it Is
intended to safeguard"
Mr.. Lea is in New York in the
interest of the high pressure project
and on his return later in the
week will send out the call to
other civic groups. 1t is hoped that
the Commissioners will see their
way clear to include an item in
the budget to begin the system.
1t was stated today at the board
headquarters that members OF ne
Senate and House were canvassed
two yers ago and there was strong
support in Congress for the plan at

tenn which will cost $500, 1000, to
be provided for in three annual

1. Distilled water now used for fire
fighting can be diverted for horne

rates will be assured; 3. Downtown
firefighting apparatus can be shifted
to outlying sections of the city: and
4. Millions of dollars of pubSc and
private property will be adequately
safeguarded.

 means of pole showed out to
 him by native trail compan- ion, Joe Kermand, widely known in that section as Joe, the Barber, nodded his head to the native who was trying to rescue him and sank to his death beneath the, icy waters. He was driving a dog team when the accident happened. The native was following with
 another team loaded with SUD- plies. Kermand's dogs became entangled and he went for ward to straighten them out, when the ice gave way under
 him and he dropped into the water. The native went to his aid with a pole but the ice
 kept crumbling away under the unfortunate man as he at- tempted to climb out. After a futile struggle he seemed to sense the uselessness of it and,
 with a nod to the native to stand back from the treacher- Ious ice, he sank back and van-
 ished.
