Mr, Robert Ro- binson and Mr, Frank Barnum, who were working about fifteen feet from the pipe, sustained slight cuts the former receiving a cut on the chin and the latter on the arm, Both men were not seriously hurt anc will be able to return to work al most immediately. The conductor pipe is used fo: draining the roof into the sewer anc the sewer is connected with the ace tylene gas generating building, It is thought that a quantity of the gas had worked its way into the sewer and instead of going out direct hac taken the easiest course and entered the conductor pipe. It is not know: definitely what caused the gas to ex plode but an official of the com pany told The Reformer that a light ed match outside the building woul have been sufficient, but the actua cause cannot be determined.

Way," it is hard to recall a Bert Lytell picture in which the Metro star has been seen to such advantage | as in "The Right That Failed," his mew Bayard Veiller production, | which opens tonight at the Regent] Theatre. The story, by J. P. Mar-| quand, adapted to the screen by | | Lenore Coffee, is a smash-bang tale | of the prize ring, full of fresh ob- servation and characters that are [new to screendom. [| Mr. Lytell plays with debonair | charm as the "highbrow" prize ring hero; Virginia Valli brings beauty | {and distinction to the role of the | society girl engaged in an unconven- | [tional courtship; Otis Harlan, the, {rotund veteran of the Charles Hoyt! |farces, is a rollicking tippler of the | |old school; De Witt Jennings is dis- | tinguished and courtly as the hero- ine's father; Max Davidson is a joy- | ous "lowbrow" champion, and Philo | McCullough a decorative and convic- ing lounge lizard. The photography | is by Arthur Martinelli and the art | direction by A. F. Mantz. Joseph | Strauss is production manager. { In addition to this master attrac-| tion two big time waudeville acts] will be presented Eva Burke in her | novelty musical saw act and Billy | Pilson character entertainer in new! and original characters. There will | be the usual comedy shown and! splendid music by the famed Regent | orchestra. Coming next Monday, ! Whitney's musical Revue a bevey of | beautiful girls. TTTAY THE NEW MARTIN TT Bert Lytell will be seen in another | of those entertaining crook dramas | when "Alias Ladyfingers," a Bayard | Veiller production for Metro, comes | to the Martin Theatre on Thursday | for a 3 day run. f This latest Lotell picture is a dis- | tinct departure from the more vecent | veleases of the Metro star and gives | Mr. Laytell a character somewhat similar to that he portrayed with such widespread success in "Alias Jimmy Valentipe" when that stage success was made into a picture. Unlike most of the usual run of crook dramas, "Alias Ladyfingers" deals with the caveer of the orphaned child of a family of wealth whe by accident is brought to the attention (of a notrious safe breaker. Because of the little lad's delicate hands, which earn him the name of "Alias Ladyfingers," he is educated in the risky art of opening strong boxes. His proficiency gains him a national reputation with the police who, while trying to rap him, learn that the d safe ker is the heir the fortune of his grandmother. The waluable pearls of that grand- mother become a lure to who is ignorant of his relationship, and his entrance as a thief into the home where he is being sought as the heir brings about complications which make "Alias Ladyfingers" one {liot, 35c each or 3 for $1.00 | ' _ this offer. 3 Lb.

First, 1 desire to make it clear that either money bylaw does not, or will not, affect the amount of money that will be spent on either the street or the park, as both must be done. The cost of cleaning the streets, with the proper equipment, will be a saving in your taxes. We spend each year about $8,000 trying to clean and sprinkle streets. And still we ave mot giving proper service to those who pay for it. in acquiring the new sprinkler and flusher our engineers estimate we can save about $2000 per year, besides paying the debentures on the machine; also we will save thou- sands of dollars each year by relieving our paved streets of the continual soaking and sprink- ling, which has proven wery injurious to any kind of pavement.
