1t was produced by Hunt Strom'

AS Terry O'Neill, Ray plays the
part of young man, just deciding
to follow the vocation that his ia
thcr and grandfather have both
given UP everything for. 1t takes
him through his days as a recruit,
then his actual experiences as a
fireman, revealing his innermost
feelings when first called into duty,
and his subsequent hcroism
Through the whole there is a charm
ing love story.
The role gives Ray an opportun-
ity not unlike that which John Gil
bert had in 1.-The Pig Parade, "

Elwood Cooper, an English ship

1869 for his health, purchased a
ranch of some 2100 acres twelve
miles west of Santa Barbara and
became deeply interested in its
development. He was president of
the State Board of Horticultural
Commissioners until it was abolish
ed by Governor Pardee, and then
became Horticultural Commissioner,
serving without compensation.

Is it against the law to kill a
mountain sheepa
Yes. At present it is unlawful to
kill mountain sheep, elk, antelope,
sea otter and beaver, although the
latter is not protected in districts
one, two and three. The killing or
possession of elk meat is a felony,
and there is a fine of $1,000 for
killing sea otter.

FRENCH PEEVED
AT ATTITUDE
OF PLCKFORDS

PARIS, June 20. - Marilynn
Miller will continue as a Ziegfeld
star after her divorce from Jack
Piekford for which both she and
her husband have arrived in Paris,
Miss Miller announced today.
The announcement revealed that
Miss Miller had signed contract
to appear in Ziegfeld musical
comedy next fall. Meantime Jack
and Marilynn planned today to see
the sights of Paris together while
awaiting their divorce, and, stimuli
taneously, the Paris bench was re-
ported to be planning to make their
sight seeing activities continue for
long time.
The French judges were ineensed
by articles in newspapers quoting
Marilynn as saying that 'Paris is
the easiest place in the world to get
a divorce-and better even than
Reno, Nevada. -
The former musical comedy star
denied she had ever made such a
'"''hi'hI' but tue Judges, WHO
have been restive under native crit.
icisms that Americans were given
special speed privileges denied to
French divorce applicants, may make
an example of the highly press
agented pair in an attempt to sat
isfy the public that they are not
discriminating in favor of foreign
ers.
1t was recalled that Mae Murray,
another movie star, obtained a de-
cree in 10 days, although many
Frenchmen are forced to wait as
long as two years.
Jack and l could have been di-
vorced in America, - Marilynn said
in attempting to overcome the uu-
favorable impression of the jurists
eve chose Paris because it gives
MS both a vacation while we are
waiting.'
She reiterated that she and her
husband were on the best of terms
a n d expected to remain good
friends.
