 revealed the presence of what al
 ready had developed into q serioua fire and which threatened to be. come more serious. The customer. whose name was not ascertained. entered the store
 about 9 o'clock seeking the Iona
 laces. Mir. Levine doubted that he
 had any of that length in stock. but offered to go to the stockroom in the rear of the store to see if any
 had been placed there.
 Upon entering the stockroom Le- vine smelled burning wood and dis
 covered that the steel plates in the ceiling were red hot. He telephoned to fire department headquarters Chief William J. Noble ordered m alarm sent in from box 42 at Main and East Main streets and | few
 minutes later when the fire seemed to assume more serious proportions
 the chief ordered a general alarm
 sounded. calling out the entire de. pdrtment and calling the of shift platoon to the fire stations.
 Defective Wiring Blamed

This is not militaristic because this nation seeks no additional territory nor does 1t plan to stage an aggression against an opponent. That is why the Legion supports the cruiser bill which would supplant the obsolete vessels with up-to-date craft. This would ensure the freedom of the seaS."

additional service will be more than warranted.
 An indication that the new ships will be very speedy is to be had in the new schedule calls for the Prince Henry to make the round trip between Vancouver and Skag- way, via Juneau, in seven days, as compared with nine days under which the Prince George and the Prince Rupert have been operat- ing in the past and will continue to operate next summer This faster service by the Prince Henry has been arranged to meet the needs of a large section of the travelling pub lie who in the past have been un- able to make the Alaska trip be- cause of the time involved.
 The first trip to Alaska in 1880 will be made by the Prince George, which is scheduled to leave Van -couver June g, arriving at Skagway June 13 and returning to Vancou- yer June Is. Thenceforth to June 30 there will be sailings from Van couver every Monday and from July when the Prince Henry is added to the service there will be sailing from Vancouver every Monday and Thursday.
 This latter schedule will then remain in effect until the end of the season.

 "... the main reason for throw ing the team to the animals has been the financial considera- tion.

Sometimes the All-American label is a handicap but apparently not this season for two of the most celebrated ll-toters-Captain Red Cagle of the Army and Captain Dutch Clark of Colorado College.
 Cable quite naturally gets ma jor share of the spotlight anytime he is around loose with the ball, but Clark, in the Rocky Mountain area, has been playing an even more spectacular game than he did a year ago, when he was chosen quar- tcrback in The Associated Press se- lections
 Clark has been a marked man from the outset, yet single-handed he has just about kept Colorado College in the Rocky Mountain race. Against Colorado Aggies, he dashed 12 yards for one touchdown, passed to another, kicked two goals for extra points and averaged more than first down every time he packed the ball. His team wc- by IA to 13 so that he had consid- erable to do with it. A week later Clark drop-kicked 43 yards for the field goal that gave his team 3-2 verdict over Denver University
 Outside of kicking off, doing all the bunting, most of the passing and ball-carrying, as well as a share of the defensive work, Clark has little to do on Saturday after moons.
