Metro release of the famous Jacl
London story which will be shown a

The political bosses in real lif
Bio entirely unlike the burlesque o
the gtage, was the contention of mos
of the cast. Kaeh cited a well know:
local politician to prove their tlieor;
that the politician today had as littli
distinguishing blatant peculiarities a:
the average citizen.
“A political boss that didn’t lool
unlike the average citizen would havi
been dubbed by the theatregoln:
jHiblic as a fake,” asserted Directo
Edward Sloman. "They expected t<
see a political boss as fat and attirei
in an outfit that no one but a poli
tical boss would wear. He was sup
posed to outrage sartorial conven
tlonalities, but today the polities
boss is differenL”
So, as a result of the diseussioi

“THE CHRISTIAN” AT
JfHE PALACE TONIGHT.
In the photodramatic version of Sii
Hall Cain’s great novel, “The Chris
tian,” which comes to the Pa!ac<
Theatre tonight for two days, Maur
Ice Tourneur has demonstrated ft
no uncertain way the wisdom of th'
Goldwyn company in selecting him ti
direct the production.
It adds greatly to the interest ii
the picture to know that the exter
lor scenes all were taken by Mr
Tourneur in their natural settings it
London, at Epsom Downs and on tin
Isle of Man. in close and friendly cc
Operation with Sir Hall Caine. SI

Ample protection is afforded the firemen

, interesting type of fire-fighting equipment.
, The. unit i« mounted on u two-wheeled
cart, so that it can be brought up quickly
! to l>c used against a tire at close range.
The cart accommodates a fireman who sits
' in it, aiid is able to handle a powerful
stream of water from a nozzle directly in
! front of him. A "gusher" pipe is mounted
on the cart behind him, which sprays a
| curtain of water all around him, so that a
“safety wall" of water protects him and
serves amply to prevent blisters and burns.
The nozzle proper is mounted in a ball
socket, so that it oan lie swung in any
direction with equal facility. It can lie
I connected to four, and even six lines of
! hose, and throws a stream of water 126

[ A mechanical rat killer with a heavy

throws him from 5 to 8 feet, is the latest

Anyone wbo has ever used a brace and

drilled at an angle. To ov* rcotne t his tend

Bottled Fluid Can Lift Tons
Siubad's genii flask has been outdone
in real life by the invention of an expand
ing fluid easily carried in Bteel Iwttles by
a child, llte [lower may lie released by a
valve and used with jacks or other lifting
devices to raise street cats, autos, and
heavy weights. It is estimated that the
power of the expanding fluid will raise
30,000 pounds in Uu~m seconds if prop

A handy and efficient derrick mi be
suit m a short time from material 'mind
n nearly every farm. It consists of n di- •
anted wagon tongue, pivoted on a fence
wist so as to revolve freely, and fitted with
, simple winch for raising the load.
An iron pivot yoke is forged to t he shape
hewn, or one may be. built up of fiat and ]
ouml iron. A hole is drilled in the port !
top to accommodate the hank, an iron
disk and a steel ball, taken from an old bull
liearmg, liemg set in the Iml as shown, to
make an ecBty-running I ■ aring. The yoke
straddles the tongue at its balancing
point, a bolt, liemg paes d through a hole
drilled in each. The winch consists of
*4-111. pipe and fittings, and is arranged a .
indicated, the winch shaft passing through
holes drilled through the ends of ihr
“hounds.” I >uu end of a stout cable is
securely fastened to the winch shaft, and
the other end to an iron cellar that is ..n
easy lit around the bottom of ttie po.si.
This collar is held in position by half col
lars above and lielow it, screwed to tho
post. Hooks or clamps to suit the load are
suspended from the outer end of the
tongue. A rod, sliding through the ends
of the hounds, ngar the winch shaft, us in
dicated, is pulled out to keep the crank
from revolving when it is desired to swing
the load. With this arrangement it is
possible for one man to operate the derrick
unassisted.

AT COLISEUM SATURDAY.
To one man marriage with tlie j |

To the other it. brought visions of
awakening into true beauty a dormant

narrow environment.
Which did she choose? That’s
the question which provides the
strang dramatic emphasis of “Tillie”

The project consists of a main tunnel
