FIRE SIREN TO BE RE BEGGED FOR FURTHER TRIAL, DOUGLAS

The fire siren was the chief topic of controversy at the monthly meet ing of the Douglas Volunteer Fire Department last night Dissatisfied with performance of the present fire alarm system installed on the city hall, letter had been written to w. s. Darly Company, of Chicago, from whom it was purchased, eX- blaming that is it Unsatisfactory and asking that it be exchanged. The company's reply recently re- ceived by Fire Chief Hachmeister was read at the meeting. Details for properly setting the siren were out lined which stressed the building of a platform for the siren to 10 feet above the roof, blue print showing the placing of equipment needed to increase the volume or the alarm was also received. Darly Company also offered full exchange value on the apparatus for any other siren desired, quoting their prices on the different models. Due to the extra cost that would be involved by exchanging the siren, and the further uncertainty of results eff fected by the change, it was planned
 to experiment according to direc- tions with the present siren. Chief Hachmeister was delegated to as certain cost of labor and supplies for doing the job.
 The fire scare caused early one morning during the past month by

the burning out of the chimney in the Kibby residence occasioned a discussion of that particular chim- ney and others in town as well. Former incidents were recalled when alarms responded to for Q chimney fire there. It was decided to re- quest the owner of the premises,
 Mike Pusich, to take steps to pre- vent reoccurance of the incident. The Africh chimney was also re- ported to be a fire menace to homes in that section.
 The status of two matters recently referred to the City Council for ac- tion. the building of turnout in the Beach Road and condemnation of the old Children's Home building as a fire hazard were reported on; to the effect that 1t would probably be a year before the first matter could be taken care of and in the second case the owners of the prop erty have now been advised of the situation.
 To facilitate watchfulness during
 windy weather and expedite re- sponse to fire alarms at night it was decided that one of the new jail cots should be placed in the clerks office and one of the truck drivers sleep there when necessary. It was voted to pay Gordon Mills six dol
 lars for two nights he put in al the fire hall during the last storm Work on the pump house was re- ported progressing. The water had been pumped out and the ice would be removed next. The membership

WHAT DO MOVIE
 FANS LIKE BEST? PLAYSOR STARS?
Hollywood Confronted with Problem-Reve Back
 to Old Stage Days
By ROBBIN CoONs

HULL I WOODs Odl., Odll4 i' Wonder how many movie fans agree with S.PO. of Chicago, who writes:
 Do you recall the days when the stock company stayed on at the old town opera house for many months and the same troupers put on everything from Camille to The Heart of Maryland? And do you remember how the illusion of the theatre was lost when you watched even your favorite actors and act resses attempt to portray the vari- ous characters?
 "Is 1t possible this is one of the things that is the matter with Hol- lywood? We see an acceptable player like Clark Gable, one week as first mate on a slave ship; the next week he is the bluff business man and the third week he may be an Irish statesman Tn all of these parts, Gable. being only human, is just Clark Gable.
 If we didn't see these people so often we would enjoy their work much more If you don't agree with this. try going to a picture whereln most of the cast is new to you. Again you will have the thrill of liv- ing with the action of the play.
 Personalities Count
 It's an interesting subject and one that Hollywood does think about. And Hollywood has answered. to- wit
 Hollywood sells personalities, not performances. In strict sense, Ga ble is not an actor but a fellow who happens to please a great many peo- pie simply by being on the screen. The fans-not you and you but the great mass-pay money to see Ga- ble, not the character he plays. Studios would like to make it true that the play is the thing It would cost lot less. But not enough people are like S.PO. in sampling those pictures with new casts. They may enjoy the thrill of living with the action of the play" once they're inside-but they don't go in. Wit ness that fine film, Make Way For Tomorrow which lacked "big names" in movie sense.)
 Garbo Exceptional
 Stars like Garbo, who can afford the luxury of infrequent films, req lize the wisdom therein. But most of the players are under contracts that call for work whenever they're needed The Stu d jos, having bought" those players and paid for them, are going to use them. They buy for proven ability as box-of- flee appeal or both. If they don't buy rival will. And the rival would work them just as frequently
 That's the Hollywood angle, sound or otherwise. But what do other fans think?

 The death of Newton D. Baker reminds us that the list of "big names" surviving from the World War is growing mighty slim.
 President Wilson died soon after the war, physically wrecked from the effort to make the world safe for Democracy when it did not seem to be made safe from anything in particular
 Great Britains unimaginative General Haig is dead, and his wid- oW refuses to see a memorial statue which has been erected for him says it's monstrous.
 Gone are British Admirals Beat ty and Jellicoe, who at Jutland beat back a desperate German fleets attempt to shoot it's way out of the North Sea bottle The British lost far more ships than the Germans, but the defeat demoralized the Ger man navy.
 Foch, Generalissimo of the AL lied Armies, in command of more soldiers than ever felt the guidance of any other warrior, is gone One of his proudest hours came when, after the war, he was elevated to the French Academic for a brief military treatise of sufficient liter ary merit to entitle him to sit among the scholars there.
 SURVIVORS ARE FEW
 Joffre is dead. He and the tax icab army saved Paris in 1914 The French Academic also gave him a proud hour.
 Hindenburg died in the hour of Hitler's rising, and Ludendorf died only a few weeks ago while Hitler stil rode the crest of power.
 Clemenceau has passed on. He survived to be a great leader of France in the troubled years after the war.
 King George V is dead King A. bert of Belgium is dead, and King Ferdinand of Roumania. King AL bert had to flee his capital, just like Chiang Kai Shek, Czar Nicho- las is dead, reputedly slaughtered with his family during the Bolsbe- vist uprising.
