CHIEF HOPES FOR
FIRE PROTECTION
IN RURAL AREAS

Fire Chief Tom Reams is prepar-
;ng to set facts and figures before
the Associated Chambers of Com
mcrcc and the County Board of
Supervisors looking toward provid-
ing fire service for the rural dis
tricts in Imperial Valley.
"I believe that we all realize tine
need of such service in the valley.
1t is aggravatiIg to fircmcn to real
;zc that our neighbors just outside
of the city limits may be visited by
fire at any moment and that we
are helpless to 60 to their aid. AT
the same time the city governments
are not to be reprcmanded for their
action in this respect. They have
followed the only course left open
to them. But | believe that the con
dition can be rcmedicd with proper
action.
The chief in outlining his plan
for such protection offers the fol
lowing:
HPlacc in each city in the valley
a firctruck Of light, speedy nature
equipped with Il booster tank hold
ing 200 gallons of water for quick
use upon reaching the scene of the
fire. Equip this machine with a
rotary or centrifical pump capa-
bic of pumping water at the rate of
300 gallons a minute and which can
be quickly put into play i'll irriga-
tiCn bitches or canals.
"This machine with its booster
service would be available for use
in the city as well as in the rural
districts, the city and county each
supplying one man to operate it.
"With such machines available at
Brawlcy, Holtvillc, FL Centre and
CalcXico ample protection could be
provided the rural districts. The
scheme is not n new one, having
becn already installed in the north
,rn part Of the state and is working
out wonderfully"
Chief Rcams is already working
with city officials and insuranc,
companies in compiling figures OF
the fire losses in the rural districts
and the cost of installing such ;
system in the valley. These figure
will be presented at meetings o.
the various city councils. county
supervisors and Associated Cham
bers soon.

ABOARD SMITH SPECIAL
TRAIN, CHATTANOOGA, Tenn,
Oct. 12.-Carrying a hurriedly pre-
pared speech, Governor Alfred E.
Smith came into "doubtful Ten
nessce today to receive the plaudits
of this border states Democracy.
The speech, which is understood to
be written upon the Muscle Shoals,
immigration and farm relief issues,
may be delivered at Nashville to-
night, although Governor Smith has
not definitely made up his mind
about the matter
Democratic leaders frankly are
worried over the prospects in Ten
ncsscc. The state was carried by
the Republican national ticket i'll
1920, n development which. cut 1t
off from the group Of southern states
which go Democratic regularly each
year. The Democrats won it back
IN 1924 but now the campaign here
is being vigorously contested.
Democratic leaders here have told
the governor he may lose Tcnnes-
see unless he makes the speech. They
say his position on the Muscle
Shoals and immigration issues have
been misrcprescntcd and that the
Republicans are hotly contesting the
election.
Governor Smith was not scheduled
to speak in Tennessee. He intended
to cover the border states situation
in his Louisville, KY speech to-
morrow night, but he began working
on the new speech last night as his
train was leaving North Carolina.
He awoke carly this morning to con
clude it.

HUMIDITY AT
NATIONAL

This Is Charlie Eampden week
at the National Theater. Not
fornaIIy, Of course. but the be-
loved inlpersonator Of near senility
walks away with the show as
surely as Helen Wallace did last
week and just as surely az Mrs.
Hubbard will during the coming
week.
The play Ia the present instance
is Three Wise Fools, z the merry
device Of Austin Strong, q winner
from way back. At was pre-
scented last night with q freshness
and charm that made the aston
ishingly large audience stop fan
ming.
II we told you It even made col
lars stop whiting, you probably
wouldn't believe US Suffice it
to say. Three wise Fools marks
q definite high mark In the pres
ent season Of the National Play
ers.
Another high mark noted last
night was iii regard to The con-
sumption sc beverage at pine
apple stand few doors away,
between the acts.
The play sounds not very excit-
ing when syncpsized on paper, for
such condemnation takes I'LL the
life out 81 ii. No stranger could
be expected to gO into gales of
laughter over the spectacle o.
three old bachelors each picking
up an apple and 4 glass q hot
water and going to bed. But that
verv incident was good for more
than one laugh last night

HOLLYWOOD, July 10.-Al-
though Mary Philbin fooled every
one. or almost everyone, by not
being assigned to the leading role
in ''Showboat," she is to star in
the film version OF story
possessing infinitely more charm
than any heard on movie lots in
many a long day. Its title is
'eThe Summer Shower" and 1t is
the work of a young Hungarian
girl named Iona Fulop. This is
her first story for the screen. and
Universal has lost no time in sign
ing her to contract. The story
which will call for Mary to play
the dual role of a mother and
daughter.
Hollywood Is slowly but surely
learning to know New York's
"Old Grey Mayor" the Hon.
Jimmy Walker. The proof that
the cinema city hasn't known
him until now is that a group
of celebs invited our Jim to be
guest OF nOnOr at the breakfast
Club. The laugh is that the ap-
pointed hour was eight in the
morning. Was James ihere?
Don't be ridic! or course not.
A suggestion has been made
that the Breakfast Club crowd
try again and advance the hour
somewhat so that his honor may
drop in on the way home. Just
to prove that he isn't afraid of
sunburn, the mayor spent the day
at Malibu as the guest of Director
Allan Dwan. All the film lights
were present or accounted for.
And a good time was had by all.
The waters of the Pacific are
quite as wet as those of the At

One of the new gags getting
it's quota of laughs around the
studios treats of the director who
came on the set and shouted:
where's my stool?' and a dozen
yes-men answered "Here am,
sir" Just in case you aren't
familiar with the patois of thieves
