Walter Huston, leaves his wife fran

"She was very nervous. fingered her
spectacles and continuously smoothed
imaginary creases In her blue satin
evening gown. Her screen future was
on trial. If the audience booed her
film image, she was through with
motion pictures. But 1t applauded
so loudly and continuously that Miss
Astor became embarrassed. She
smiled self-consciously and sank lower
in her chair. Then she settled down
to enjoy the picture. laughing with
the loudest at the numerous comedy
situations with which the movie
abounds.

Walter Huston, and a grand person

same praise was given for the truly
excellent performance of Ruth Chat
terton, hiding her good looks and real
life charm behind the shrewish mid

She Is a new personality who will,

been figured on. However, nothing was
said about it until, as the crew went
back to work, the two men picked UP

the house, and went on their way. Then

crew realized that two outsiders had

any or all of those means may be used.
The forest service has equipment
pumps, hose, shovels, motors, axes,

AirplaneS are prepared to answer

The forest service has no plane of

Planes can cover in an hour distance

Every party of canoeistS that enters
the forest during the arid season is
given a fire permit, urging extreme

camp fires, etc.
If You Toss a Cigaret
Suppose, however, that a careless
fisherman flips a cigaret butt into the
needle-covered forest floor. It smould-
ers and sets tiny blaze which quickly
mounts. A gray wisp of tell-tale smoke
catches the observers eye in his tower
| Immediately he calls his supervisor by
telephone. Qn the future, radio will
have replaced the telephone and therell
be no maintenance of wires necessary
When fire is raging it may sever
telephone lines, but it can't cut of

Location of a fire is quickly and &C
curately made. A table in the look
outs glass-encloSed crows nest has at
its top large scale map of the forest
surrounding the tower From the points
on the map corresponding to the very
spots where towers are situated, small
brass pegs arise. Scribed about each
peg is circle, six or seven inches in
diameter. That circle, using true north
as zero and 800, is graduated in de-
grees. East, for instance, is 80 degrees
and south is 100.
A brass gadget, resembling a ruler
equipped with rifle sights, has a hole
| drilled in one end to engage the peg.
The observer sits by his table and looks
at the smoke through the sights in the
same manner as a rifleman draws a
bead" on target. Then he notes the
degree on the circle which his besighted
ruler indicates, and he reports his
sighting to other observers.
Meanwhile, from neighboring towers,
possibly dozen miles or more dis
tant, observers have found the smoke
and taken readings. BY plotting on a
map the readings of three stations, the

Bite From
Glass With Beer

Buhl-Matt Ilka of Kinney bites a
chunk out of his beer glass and washes
it down with beer, making it rather
improbable to serve him as a Gus
toner. Before witnesses, Ilka bit a
chunk out of an ordinary beer glass
chewed it and washed it down with the
beer. In fact, he noticed a piece OF
glass that laid on the bar and swal-
lowed that also. The first chunk was
two inches long and an inch wide, and
about 1892 of an inch thick. Ilka
claims that he is now 81 years old and
has performed this feat at various times
for the past 40 years.
