Satisfactory operation of any
heating plant is dependent on
proper draft And proper draft
is dependent wholly on the CHM

Therefore, a properly built flue
becomes the very foundation upon
which is built the efficient opera

that Mr.. Damrosch protested to
General Pershing against the regu-
lation requiring such extra duties,
insisting that the value of music in
promoting morale was 90 high that
the loss was not justified. The Com
mander-in-Chief agreed and promptly
countermanded the regulation. 1t
takes five years to make good bands
man. it is said; hence they are not
readily expendable.
How Importantly bands are figur-
ing in the present war has been noted
in several dispatches. Leland Stowe,
in an article in Life" magazine,
described German musical craftiness
in the surprise invasion of Norway.
Among the troops suddenly landed in
the Oslo airport was a military band
which quickly sounded off in one of
the main squares of the city. Its dulcet
strains lulled the populace into mac
ton until too late. The Germans also
frequently use bands in occupied
Paris. In cases where no bands were
present with troops in the field, sound
trucks have rolled with the columns,
swinging along tired troops with music
recorded or picked up from broad
casts. Bands have been maintaining
British morale, too. 1t is curious to
note that the regimental song of a
British transport train is the Ameri-

Traveller
The World War found US as un-
prepared in bands as in many other
respects. Some of our bands reaching
France were so terrible that General
William Dawes, as musical as he was
emphatic. is said to have outdone him
self in magnificent outburst of mule
skinner language. Diagnosing the trou-
bic, he handed down the pronounce
ment: IAN army band is just as good
as its leader - no better" Dawes
sought out the noted conductor Walter
Damrosch, who was in France to do
his bit, and took him to General
Pershing. who Immediately ordered
200 bandmasters to report to Mr..
Damrosch for examination.
Results of the test were appalling.
Some of the bandmasters could con-
duct only in three-four time, and you
can't fight war at waltz tempo. Only
twenty out of the 200 passed.
"The remedy was the bandmasters'
school which organized at Chau-
mont" MIR. Damrosch declared in an
interview once given this writer.
General Pershing told me to 60 right
ahead. and it was just my forte; my
chance to help in the war. Just as the
French furnished teachers to instruct
our men on the 75's. they supplied
me noted musicians from their army
as professors for my school in quiet,

A vast improvement ensued. The
share of our bands in winning the
war was no small one. More than once
they played calmly under fire. In one

The identity of the actor and
the studio are withheld, by spe-
cial request, in Difference to the
blood-pressure OF the eompany's
stockholders You'd be amazed
by the extent Of silent influence
welded by people all over the
country who own a few shares in
motion picture concerns. The fear
here is that a lot of investors
might get the idea that a studio is
being run incompetently, and that
they might get together, upset the
existing management and send out
some wonder-boy of their own
choosing.
This actually has happened
few times through the meddling
of eastern financiers and the re-
suit always has been chaos. When
a money-man tries to run a stu
do, everybody goes crazy. Holly
wood is fond of recalling that one
of these non-showman geniuses,
after only two months of wild
confusion, was taken away to a
private sanitarium. During the
first few weeks of his stay at the
looney house, he is said to have
devoted himself to writing thou
sands of checks for huge sums
Of money and distributing them
among the guests and guards.
HOW TO STEAL A HOUSE
One form of waste which the
studios have found hard to control
is the theft of equipment and ma
terials. Studio stealing sounds
easy when a man can carry bass
fiddle out through the main gate
Of United Artists. Ny favorite
story concerns a property man
who built and furnished house
with studio materials.
Trucks loaded with lumber,
paint, brick, tile, sash and SO on
were routed into one gate. out an
other and away to his home site.
When he got around to bathroom
fixtures. he discovered the studio
warehouse had nothing that was
both practical and desirable. With
two bottles Of choice liquor. he
visited a scenarist and persuaded
him to write bathroom sequence
into a picture. The desired equip
ment was described in detail in
the script. was purchased and
used in the picture. Soon after

Negotiations Under
Way for Rail Workers

CHICAGO - The biggest labor
negotiations in railroad history
were under way with employees
asking an estimated 5000, 900, 900
annual pay increase in face Of
arrangements claim TO yearly
net income of only $500. 900. 900.
Attracting 400 representatives
OF 10000 employees and more
than 400 railroads. the negotia-
tons ranked as the industry's
largest because Of the size and
nationwide scope OF the wage de-
mands and the far-reaching pro-
posals by carriers for alterations
in so-called "festhered rules"
Management statisticians con-
tended the wage demands, If
granted, would call for a Al per
cent overall increase. The last
nationwide railroad labor negoti-
atoms in 1888 involved a request
by management for a IS per cent
wage decrease. The move died
when a presidential emergency
board recommended against the
decrease.

pressions as they listen to their
owners voices. The dane, think
ing no doubt that the practice has
gone on long enough, gives a tre-
mendous yawn. The poodle replies
to this with a fierce admonishing
growl. Really, your manners get
worse every dayr he obviously is
saying. The dane hangs his head
in shame

character actor checked into a

body told him he'd have to be
made up again, because in his
first scene he was supposed to ap-
pear very i'll and drawn. In fact,
he was to undergo an operation.

Almost all the rest of that day
was devoted to painting lines and
hollows on the actors face. Sew

after another retouching job, he
was told that he didn't look sick
enough. At $50, his makeup was
approved and he climbed on the

then was hidden by towels and all
the rest az il was obscured by an
