away. To those of you who can re-
member, Mr.. Polo's name was long
synonymous with thrills in the old
and sometimes mourned silent days.
Young Miss Durbin, of course, had
never heard of him.
In this sequence, Deanna will
Jump from Honolulu-bound steam
er in midocean, or at least she'll
make the first part of the leap Ito
be caught in a net few feet DOWN
and the most famous stunt man of
all time-now approaching 60-will
be right there to give her q few
tips.
On this same lot where Deanna is
today the reigning star, and directly
responsible for an amazing leap in
the company's earnings last year,
Polo once became a great serial star
and something of matinee idol as
well. Now he makes a new start III
the talkies, as a ships officer, hav-
Ing returned six months ago after
18 years in Europe.
Producer Joe Pasternak, for whom
Polo made five pictures in Europe,
Is giving the former thrill-maker his
present chance to come back in
this setting so entirely unfamiliar.
Polo began his movie career in
1918 after is years as featured
acrobat with the Barnum and Bailey
Circus. A sawdust star, who tutored
such illustrious pupils as Alfred Co.
donna of the Flying Codonnas, Polo
was the first man to do a triple
somersault on the flying trapeze. He
is said to be the only man ever to
complete a double somersault on
horseback.
Eddie Vas king in day when stars
had no fbubles and any screen per-
former Who wouldn't chance four
story leap was looked on as a sissy.
He thereby became the star of such
early melodramas as The Broken
Coin," Liberty" "The Vanishing
Dagger" Lure of the Circus" and
many others. 1t also proved his un-
doing. His daring stunts finally
caught up with him.
In 1920 Polo was starring in THE
Dangerous Hour" filmed in Mexico.
Up to that time he had suffered
countless injuries in action, includ-
Ing "a broken bones. But The Dam
gerous Hour" proved no misnomer.
Something went wrong with his
timing on stunt and he rode
horse over a 48-foot precipice. He
Evening star., 1940-03-01

was seriously injured; four major
operations were performed and he
was in cast for more than a year.
1t looked as though his career was
definitely finished.
Il had become wealthy" said Polo
yesterday on the set, but I couldn't
stay out of show business. Too much
saWdust and celluloid in my blood.
Soon as I could walk I put a show
together and took it to Europe"
Political forces to which he was
opposed Che prefers not to discuss
this phase, becaue certain members
OF his family are still abroad caused
him to leave Europe on a moments
notice. He had to leave his fortune
behind.

CIVIC CLUB NOTES
by MRS. NJ 0. JOHNSON


 4 letter from the skagway Wom- ans Club. asking the endorsement by the WrangeI Civic Club of bill providing a home for aged wom- en, To be presented at the next ses- sion of the Territorial Legislature. was read at the club meeting Sat urday. As an answer to legislators who say that delay in providing such a home is due to lack of unity in regard to location, Skagway women are asking that a wing be built on the Pioneers Home in Sit ka and calling attention to the fact that Sitka was chosen because of its suitable climate and should therefore be a location where the women. too. could be made happy and comfortable.
 WOmens clubs of Alaska have worked for many years to get a home for aged women, it was stat ed Saturday. and Wrangen has aI- ways favored Sitka and the idea that Skagway presented. for reasons of economy. Whe the Goddard Hot Springs home was purchased il was thought that the Legislature had taken action but the overflow of men from the sitka Home has been housed there, instead. With the skagway club pointing the way for another attempt 10 give comfort to aged women who may need such care, the Wrangell club endorsed the suggestions offered without dissenting vote, after a brief dis eussion.
 Miss Helen Johnson presented a clear and thought-provoking picture of the tuberculosis problem in AL aska. There are no hospital beds for white sufferers from the dis ease she stated and the hope for large hospital will not be realized unless such a place will be found necessary to the success Of the pre- ent defense program. In closing, Miss Johnson pointed out the help which everyone can give by supporting the Seal Sale, proceeds from which aid so materially in the fight that is

Cleaning Of Boiler
Al End Of Heatinq
Season Is Saving
SCOT Absorbs Moisture
And Forms SuIphuric
Acid on Metal

At the end of the heating season a
boiler should be thoroughly cleaned.
preferably by vacuum; for heater
can suffer more during the summer
when it is not in use than during
the heating season. You should re-
move all the dust and SCOT from the
inner passages and spray all inner
surfaces with oil. For convenience
use an insect spray, and use any
light oil, or crankcase drain
ings. SCOT left in the passages alb
serbs moisture from the air and a
form of sulphuric acid will be pro-
duced that will eat into the metal.
Cleaning of the SCOT and oiling
will protect it. A sheet-metal smoke
pipe will be especially injured by
neglect; for SCOT and dust within
collects and holds moisture, which in
turn would quickly cause rusting
and corrosion. If you can manage
it, remove the smoke pipe, clean and
store 1t for the summer in a dry
place. If this is not practical, clean
and oil the inside.
If you leave your smoke pipe in
place, all doors opening into the
boiler should be left open for the
summer, their edges and hinges
given a coat of oil. If you neglect
this precaution, the continual draft

We burn wood, keeping the draft
checked, but find that creosote COL
lects in the boiler passages. Is this
injurious? Or will a hot coal fire
burn off the deposit, which is like
enamel?
A. The deposit will probably burn
off with hot fire. However, it is
not advisable to burn wood in a
boiler that is intended for coal, for
other troubles may come. You will

finished with white paint, so that
the color will not come through to
the surface?
A. If there is any red in the dark
color you can seal it in with two
coats of top quality aluminium paint
A clear brown may not require a
seal, but to be on the safe side, put
on one coat of aluminium. If the
present finish is varnish the gloss
should be dulled before you begin
to paint, which you can do by sand
paperlng or using steel wool.
House Foundations.
@, What is your opinion of houses
built on sand and on clay? In buy
ing house which would you choose?
A. Clay makes a firm foundation,
but may have the disadvantage of
poor drainage. Sand gives good
drainage, but the foundation walls
should be on broad footings or have
other supports to compensate for
the greater softness. With proper

mer will draw damp air through
crevices around the doors and else
where. There will then be conden-
sation at these places and bad rust
ing will result.
Do not drain a steam or hot
water boiler at the end of the heat
ing season. Water that has been
repeatedly heated is free of air and
will have no corrosive effect on iron.
Fresh water. on the other hand, con-
tains air, which will cause rusting.
To drain boiler in the spring and
leave it filled with fresh water dur
ing the summer will be to invite
corrosion. In the spring, water
should be added to what is already
in a steam boiler, the safety valve
