Lnexpected eXciiement was added
to the showing of the picture "Se
quoia"' at the Waynewood Theatre .on
Monday evening. .During the fouith
reel of the picture, which was about
8:30 o'clock, a flame burst forth in
the projection room. While there
was considerable hurry by the three
hundred people in the theatre in mak
ing their exit, there were no accidents.
Miss busie Fisher, the cashier,
gave tne first alarm to the city fin.
department. A number of persons
realizing that there was no imme
diate danger tpjietly waited until the
rush was over before attempting to
I get out.

operator, 5 reels of the picture were
burned, the machines and projection
room damaged, with an estimated
loss of around $1,000.

institution during the hours from 2

National Hospital day is .'the anni
versary of the birth of Florence

the sick and wounded. During re

Forty Men Working
On City Park Here
According to Oscar L. Briggs,
street superintendent of the town,
forty men are at work this week oh
the construction program of the city
park on East street. Last week zo
men were engaged in getting the
grounds .n shape for laying the foun
dation work of the wading pool, rest
rooms, drinking fountains, flower beds,
rock tables, concrete benches, barbe
cue fireplaces, and other features.
Those in charge estimate that it
will take around 60 days to complete
the work, in which case the park
will be ready for use in the rush of
the Summer season. Mr. Briggs is
giving all the time he cani spare from
his other duties in pushing forward
the work.

More Inquiries
Than Last Year
Ernest E. WHhtrs, secretary of the

taken, and never in my life have I
seen as much painting, renovating
and general improvements being
made as today. It is encouraging."
