TONIGHT HORSES KEPT WORKING FOR EASTERN CITY Prove Economical on Street Cleaning — Are Cheaper than Trucks BOSTON, July 25.—Not forsen- timent—so they say—but for dol- lars and cents, the Newton Street Department retains its horses. It had been rumored, when an appropriation for a motorized rub- bish collector was asked, that steps were being taken to replace the horses which, father and son, had served the city for so many years. Not so. Commissioner George E Stuart appreciates the economic value of horses in certain jobs. But say what they will, there is undeniably a bit of sentiment rife in the department where their handsome beasts are concerned. Of course it is not strong enough to keep the officials from changing over to motor trucks if the econ- omy could be proved. Perhaps the safest way is to say that the officials are very glad the figures favor the horses.

Sixteen Different Changes Sixteen different “changes” were created. for the use of Miss Craw- ford in this picture. The costumes run a wide gamut, ginghams for a paper-box factory, an exceedingly simple coat suit for her home in the factory town and a modified sports outfit for a trip to Coney Island. Simple Afternoon Frocks There are also simple afternoon gowns, “Park Avenue” evening gowns and charming tailored suits. Clark Gable supports Miss Craw- ford in “Possessed” and the cast also includes Wallace Ford and Skeets Cullagher present time, distributed at mrec stables. They are kept busy every day; in fact there are more jobs than horses. Two from the Street Department have had to be loaned for the| Forestry Department’s spray wag- on. Out at 7 to Clean Up Each day at 7 o'clock in the morning they go jangling out in their harness to the wagon yards| and are backed into the shafts of tip carts, work wagons and col- lectors. The division foreman has assign- ed them to this or that bit of cleaning and repairing, perhaps a number of them at one task. Out of the Crafts Street yard largest of the three, two double hitches and a tip cart had been| sent to work with a steam roller on street and sidewalk repair. Not far away two more doubie hitches were moving along from | pile to pile of dirt that had been| scraped from the gutters. The horse nearest the sidewalk missed no opportunity to snatch a| mouthful of grass, a most unlady- like diseourtesy to her companion, who was obviously accumulating a | {resentment which threatened to‘ |lead to a nip. They are all heavy animals and |when they go out in the morning | their coats shine with a handsome gloss, less glittering, to be sure, than that of a five-faited mare on show but nevertheless indicative of attentive care and proper feeding. Wend Weary Way Home In the afternoon, along toward 4, when they wend their way back to the yard, they seem slow and heavy with the consciousness of a day’s work done. But when they have been un- hitched they march purposefully for the ramp and at its foot break into a scurrying gallop that takes them up with a fine rattle of chains and thunder of hoofs. Most of them turn right into the stable door, but one paused on the height with all the air of a squire back from his inspecfloqs’ and looked carefully about the yard making sure things were in their places — trailer here, roller | there, wagons all in—then he sigh- The items of talk among those at the stables during the day was the ailment of the big gelding who had reported lame that morning. The veterinary had not been sure whether it was a muscular strain, but anyway they had given him a day off, leading him out for a bit of grass and an afternoon in a sunny stall. Good on Many Jobs The utility of the horse in public works lies chiefly in short hauls or on a job with many stops close to- gether, as in. the cleaning task mentioned above, At another place in Newton a heavy truck was seen creeping along at its slowest pace to enable men to walk beside it and scoop up other piles of dirt. That'’s bard on a truck and wouldn’t have been done if there had been more horses available. Many cities persist in the use of horses. Boston’s Department of Works has 230 and there are a few in the Park Department. ARE HONGR GULSTS OF MR. AND MRS. METZGAR “Mr. anid Mrs. L.

Men; They W Lives for By ROBBIN COONS HOLLWOOD, Julyy 25. The desperation of hungr¥ men eager to risk their lives for a few dollars = % and a meal has fthrown movie tunt men into c om petition as || as it s/ | wages and assure com- ipetence, thus les- sening danger to life | 'ROBBIN COONS Harvey Parry, who for seyeral |years has jumped from cliffs, wreck- ed automobiles, walked airplane |wings, dangled from skyscraper |roofs or taken beatings from film | | heroes in prize rings, was called the |other day to skin an automobile {for a movie scene. When he re- ported he found five other men waiting in line for the assign- ment. “One poor fellow begged for the chance, asking only a meal and five dollars,” says Harvey. “The] regular price for the job is $50, and this man never had skidded| a car and had no idea how we protect ourselves. Want License “When I first started stunting, I got $1,500 for walking the wings and taking a parachute jump. Now Novices Crowd Movie Stunt ill Risk Their Any Old Price the price down almost to the ground.” Parry and other ,leading stunt men advocate licensing of their profession, not ‘only to maintain standards of pay, but to safeguard the desperate from their own fol- ly. The times, however, veto the idea, Incidentally, from Parry I learn- is led a few odd facts about movie prize fights. In “Winner Take All” youll see James Cagney fighting for the “title” with Parry, and Parry will appear to be the bigger of the two. The first day they worked on the fight scenes Parry weighed in at 130 and Cagney 152. (The second day Parry was the same, but Cagney had lost eight pounds.) So they really work, these movie fighters. Tricks of the Camera How does it happen that a man, actually smaller, looks bigger on the screen than his adversary? It's oll, partly, says Parry, oil that makes the muscles stand out pho- tographically, and the rest is chest development—and, of course, cam- era ftrickery. For once the movies failed to bite when a best-selling novel was offered as bait by a haughty auth- or. The scornful Iliteratus de- manded $60,000 for his work, which even movie executives, usually im- pressed by sales reports, could see would make only a fair picture. The author, refusing to comprom- ise, hied himself and his book to England for celluloid embalming. And the studio is just as happy. SERVICES TOMORROW FOR MRS. A. HAGLUND ‘Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the Resurrection Lutheran Church for the late Mrs. Albin Haglund. Rites will be conducted by the pas- tor, Rev, Erling K.

L e Young People Told To MINNEAPOLI$, Minn, July 3 —Church education needs a new group of pioneers, said Dr. Jos- epr Cooper, field secretnry for the | Young People’s Union, in conven- tion here. “Pioneering is a job for young people,” said Dr. Cogper, “but only for those who are dissatisfied with present conditions,” Dr. Cooper declared that there cannot be much purpose in church | education unless there arises a new group of ploneers willing to sarry on, not for their personal gain, but for the good of the kingdom.
