Madame Francis, who is a dressmaker and cleaner, was us- ing gasoline to remove some spots from a coat when, in some man- ner which she cannot recount flames shot out, enveloping her. At this time, H. A. Robertson, who is manager of the Gastineau Blectric Company, was in his of fice and , heard the woman’s screams. Running out the front door of the store he quickly reach- ed the upper story and rushed the woman outside. Her clothes were _ of fire, and as he had no other means of putting the flames out. ‘he threw her into a pile of snow and smothered them.

Players who have smiled their way to screen wealth and popular ity are willing to pay well for pro- fessional skill. The false teeth made for a film star's mouth are unlike ordinary “store teeth.” Patiently, tooth by teoth, some high-priced specialist in ceramics re-creates a famous smiie that a specialist in extraction has just pulled. He is above all an artist. The mechanical details of fill- ing a mouth with new teeth arc left to underlings. He exerts his skill as a worker in porcelain to make the substitute teeth look exactly like those which were ex- tracted, even imitating, in soms cases, a slight tobacco-stain on the originals. Artistic defects in the original set are remedied if it is ' possible without making thein look obviously “new” to the _bos- sessor’s close friends. As a result, the star whose for- tune depends on her smile is no: embarrassed by her artificial teeth. In fact, according to one specialist in extraction who knows the secrets of many a famous Hollywood mouth,—Dr. Frank W. Chandler—the smiles stars buy from their dentists usually are an improvement on the originals. SANTA CLAUS ON WAY TO JUNEAU lGreeniana, !

ABATEMENT SUITS ON LOWER FRONT STREET PLACES ARE STARTED Suits in abatements against ‘sit places on Lower Front Streef commonly known as the ‘“row,” were filed in the office of the Clerk of the U. S. District Court yesterday by the U. S. District Attorney's ‘office. Action is taken under two sep- arate proceedings, one of which alleges the places in question to havé been operated in violation of the National Prohibition Act and therefore a public nuisance, and the other alleging them to be op- erated as houses of prostitution [in violation of Territorial Sta- ‘tutes. i The charges of a public nyis- ce in violation of the Alaska ne Dry law are based on the affidavits of ome George T. Ma- sury, who operated here last Fall as an undercover agent tor th2 prohibition unit, and claims that he bought alcoholic liquor these houses.
