MAN IN JAIL
CUTS THROAT
Edgar Lamb Rushed to
Hospital; Prepare for
TRANSMISSION

A few minutes after he had
been jailed for drunkenness, Ed.
gar Lamb, age between d5 and
so. former WPA worker, slashed
his throat with a safety razor
blade in the city Jail about 1918
o'clock this afternoon.
He was rushed to the Patton
Memorial hospital where he was
given a fair chance for life this
afternoon. Tests were being made
this afternoon with view of per-
forming blood TRANSMISSION.
Lamb was arrested about noon
at blacksmith shop on King
street by Chief of Police Powers
on a charge of drunkenness.
Chief Powers said the arrest was
made at the request of Mrs.
Lamb. At the city Jail he was
searched and knife and other
articles were taken from his poe
xets before he was placed in a
cell. "
Arnold Drake. prisoner in an
adjoining cell, said Lamb told him
he had found a razor blade and
was going to cut his throat
Drake beat and shook the bars
and called for help, but Ira Faux
ner, assistant chief of the fire de,
partment, arrived after Lamb had
already slashed his throat.
Chief Powers expressed the
opinion that the razor blade had
been left in the cell, probably by
some person who was given a
nights lodging at the city hall.
Lamb formerly worked on the
WPA, and more recently had
been employed in local laundry;
Chief Powers said he understood
the man had recently been laid
off by the laundry.

Opens Sept. 6
Four Additions to Faculty Announced, With Four
designations; Vocational Agriculture and
Band Music Courses Offered

Hcndersonvillc city schools will
open this year on Monday, Sep
TENDER 6. Students who have not
been ~ the system before will be
asked to register on Thursday
morning, September ,, between
the hours of 9 and II. High

mentary school pupils will regis
ter at the Rosa Edwards building
on Fourth avenue west. Registra-
ton does not apply to any stu
dent who made out schedule last
year, or who was in any of The
grades of this school.
Superintendent F. NJ. Waters
said the school feels exceedingly
fortunate in being able to offer
course in vocational agricul-
ture. This will include both voca-
tional and avocational activity.
The school, he said, has felt a
need for some time of giving stu
dents who do not expect to go to
college an opportunity for train
ing of this character. The con-
tents of this course will provide
training for those who do not eX-
pect to 90 to college, but will en-
ter agriculture as life work, and
for recreational and avocational
ends. This course is in addition to
home economics, shop work and
commercial courses, which have
been provided for the last several
years. 1t is expected that the
school in the near future will be
able to offer more vocational
training, Superintendent Waters
said, adding:
1--WE are endeavoring to i'm
prove our commercial department
so that students having this work
will be able to secure training
adequate for office equipment.
At the same time it is our desire
to develop our shop work in or
der that this training may be Civ
en- those boys who do not expect
to go to college"
The high school will also offer
this year instruction in band.
Thomas Harper, one of the regu-
lar high school teachers, will be
in charge of this work. He is a
graduate of State college and was
an active member of the State
college band for four years. He
taught in Lego, w. Va, last year,
where he organized and directed
a band and orchestra. Students
who wish to take the work this
year should go to the high school
and leave their names so that, if
possible, their schedules can be
changed. Previous training is not
required.
The additions to the faculty
this year are:

 In the fourth cottage live Capt, Jules A. Strasser, former German navy officer and merchant mar iner, and his two sons, Jules, Jr., IS, and Frederick, 16 Tall, thin, and always topped by @ yachting cap, he's the best-known individ- ual on the entire lot. His job is guiding visitors, especially foreign visitors, around the sets and stages.
 The captain says he speaks 27 languages. Anyway he speaks a lot of them because he came to Los Angeles during the 1882 Olympic Games as an interpreter.
 A Fox executive hired Strasser because he could say ives" in any tongue. Mostly he just walks around looking important and tell- ing wild tales to distinguished tourists.
 With 6 perfectly straight face
 the captain identifies extras and
 bit players as Greta Garbo, w. O.
 Fields, Gary Cooper, Claudette
 Colbert and Charlie Mccarthy. !
 Strasser's sons are working in the studio, but not as actors. One is in the labor gang, the other is @ nursefyman. The studio is e good place to rear children be- cause 1t Is walled in and is guarded by 100 policemen. Has its own school and teaching staff, too. The residents never are bothered by house-to-house canvassers, and bill collectors are turned away at the main gate. ., Two Families Fueding
 A strange thing about this four family group is that they have no community social life. The Captains Muelhausen and Strasser and their families used to live to- gether, but there was e rift of some sort and they've been fued- ing for three years.
 The Conlons aren't at outs with their neighbors, but they seem to prefer their own company. pr. Seyfarth and his wife stick pretty close to the hospital.
 Indeed, they practically do. The Conlons' bungalow faces the New York street. Just around the cor- ner is French street. The Strassers live near the entrance to this street. Not far away, the Muelhausens' bungalow stands at the edge of one of the large sets used for Tn Old Chicago"

 Hollywood-The most casual ob- servers of motion picture celebri. ties and their work are the men- bers of four families who live on the 2Oth .Century-Fox lot. To them, stars are more of nuisance than a thrill. And millions of dollars worth of glamor and tinseled make- believe all around them are to these people just 50 much dust and noise.
 Hugh Conlon, assistant fire chief, has lived on the lot more than 10 years with his wife, Blanche, and their son, Hugh, Jr., now 18. They came from Tucson, Ariz., when Conlon was hired to organize a fire department On what now Is the largest movie lot --225 acres. Hugh, Jr, may be- come a fireman, but he certainly doesn't intend to become an actor.
 For @ few years the Conlons lived in the fire station, but they now occupy one of the four five- room cottages paternalistically provided by the studio.
 There is no rent to pay; utilities are free; scores of plumbers, elec- tricians and carpenters are handy If any little thing goes wrong, Studio gardeners tend their flow CTS and cut their lawns.
  Police Chief, Physician
 Other residents of the lot are Capt. John Muelhausen, studio chief of police, and his wife. He's 65 now, weighs 236 pounds and is almost as active as when he was sheriff at Cripple Creek, Colo. There's not much excitement for him these days. but Mrs. Muel- hausen is glad of 1t.
