SCHOOL NEARLY COMPLETED DOUGLAC COUNCIL INFORMED

The authoriza tion to pay voucher No. T for SlO,00O and No. 7B for $781 82, in favor of Peterman Con struction Company, was voted at the weekly meeting of the Douglas City Council last evening, which action was the important one Of the session. That stage in the con- struction of the building for which the money ordered paid has ad- vanced the project to 732 percent toward it's completion, the members were told.
 Practically the entire session was taken up with matters pertaining to the new school. Other issues in cluded the selection of an oil burner which will perform satisfactorily, as those tried so far failed to do ac- cording to report. Careful consid- eration is to be given the problem before any burner is settled upon.
 School equipment received also had an inning in the Councils af- fairs, one result being the rejection of 20 of the folding chairs.
 A communication from E. D. Col lins, Mayor of Fairbanks, inviting Douglas to send a queen to the Ice Carnival to be staged there from March 10 to 13 was read but no action taken.
 An investigation of the water sup ply in the city reservoir was ordered and the ice at the top was to be broken today so the water could be measured. This action resulted from report made that consider able water was being wasted by resi- dents leaving their taps open to keep the water from freezing.

on allowance = when she wants something she asks for it,) Shir- ley's money is being saved; so is Mary Lou's. And the little girl has the fun of studio life without the handicap of the publicity.
 Nine months older than Shirley, Mary Lou also is two inches taller. They are in the same grade-A-4- at the 10th Century-Fox studio school. Like Mrs Temple, Mrs. Isleib always is present when the children are on the set. At home in Glendale, Mary Lou plays with the neighborhood children like any other little girl Shirley has to have bodyguard.
 Shy with Strangers N Rather shy with strangers, Mary Lou is more aggressive among chil- dren, and she has no more awe of the child movie star than Shirley has of her. Like any two little girls, both are prone to get the "giggles" simultaneously on occasion. In their infrequent childish "spats" Mary Lou stands on equal footing with the star Mary Lou's biggest dolls are presents from Shirley.
 As a perfect foil for Shirley, Mary Lou should hate spinach. DiSap- pointingly, she loves it.
 Mrs. Isleib, a pleasant little wom- an with sense of humor, con- fesses to one lasting embarraSs- ment:
 When Mary Lou and I walk down the street, I'm always sure people are saying: There goes one | of those mothers trying to make lher poor little girl look like Shirley jTemple!

 A short time later E m Il Il Cohen, guest of honor, was no longer head of Paramount. There'd been some changes made. And just the other day, having effected peace with the studio and under taken some independent produc- tions for Paramount release, Cohen broke into the news again. Said he was going to sue for breach of con- tract. Paramount having notified him their deal was off. Well, any, way; it was a nice testimonial dln- ner.

But 1 the way it looked now, somebody or other had been wrong. Her first option-time was approaching and I the outlook wasn't promising. 1. She felt it pretty keenly-enough to cry her eyes and heart out. A fellow came along, and found the tears flowing. Don't cry, kid,' he consoled her.

 He kept his word, and Lucille LeSueur hurdIed her first option. Then she got into something called l"Sally, Irene and Mary and was made. The director of westerns lisn't famous now, and his name eludes me. But Joan Crawford has kept on going.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 8. - Three years ago little Mary Lou Isleib of Glendale changed her coiffure. Instead of wearing her blonde, Wavy hair parted simply in the middle, Mary Lou began a ritual. Every night before going to bed she had her locks curled neatly around TO "bobbie pins" and each morning Mary Lou awoke with 10 neat little curls piled on her shape ly head
 Over the country hundreds of other little girls were subjected to the same procedure. Proud man. mas were turning out hundreds of limitations of Shirley Temple. Of them all, Mary Lou was the only one with a solid, practical reason.
