A donation Of SIS from McDavitt's

opening to aid sick and injured
firemen OF Brownsville.
This has not been done here
previously. and I believe that 1t Is
a good thing" said Capt. Guerra.
"Firemen who are injured at fires,
or become Ill at any time, will be
taken care Of by the relief fund"
1t was also announced that as
soon as the weather permits. the
fire department will spend two
weeks burning trash and dead
weeds in vacant lots over the city,
because such trash Is highly in
flamable, and constitutes a fire
meme that should be eliminated.
Anyone wishing to have this

homes can call 1884 and We will
arrange 70 do IT," said Guerra.

ten?
Michael Arlen was born in an
Armenian village about thirty-two
years ago. He was taken to Lon

in London schools. For eleven years
he struggled along working for
newspapers or magazines in Lon
don as free lance writer. His
first book, THE London Venture, %
was published before he was 20, but
it was not until he wrote These
Charming People" that he flashed
into prominence. Following this
success came THE Green Hat" and
Mayfair" The Dancer Of Paris
followed. He married Countess At
lanta Mercati in May. 1928.
