FOREST FIRE MENACE WORST IN AREA IN QUARTER OF

CENTURY

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Aug. 11. (UP) Forest fires raged in seven states of the north-central area today, with 24,000 men mobilized to control what in Minnesota was considered the worst fire menace of a quarter century. There were serious fires in Minnesota. Wisconsin, Michigan, the Dakotas, Wyoming and Idaho. The Minnesota national guard was ordered to stand by for possible service and all WPA projects in the Minnesota iron range were ordered suspended to release 3,100 men for

fire service.

Bedraggled, smoke-blackened battalions of firefighters, composed of CCC recruits and volunteers, fought without rest and little heed for danger against new blazes flaring in northern Minnesota. For weapons they had shovels, ham! pumps, axes and water-soaked burlap bags. The man power thrown into the fight was effective in controlling blazes over a wide area, but these smouldering spots will flare anew unless rain comes soon, according to U.

state parks has been unusually good

this year.

The game fish plantings will start this months in the northern part o* | the state. Conservationists in each t community will aid in the planting program A special truck will be used. I I Simmons said scores of applications I for fish were received from every I county prior to August 1, closing date , for applications. Tin- sharp increase , in applications will take the entire j production of the state hatcheries and ( a large part of the fish production at : the federal hatchery at Rochester. Planting of fish from the state hatcheries will be supplemented in th; Fall by plantings from local conservation clubs produce I in their own hatcheries for the state division. In 1935. when 138 clubs were aperating hatcheries, more than a million game fish were produced There are 168 clubs operating hatcheries this year.

“If dry weather continues for two more days,” he warned, “all the area that is smouldering and partly controlled will be in flames once more. Rain is the only answer to the fire

Smartest New Autumn Styles /Feature Black

Now that the end of summer is so near at hand ideas for new fall clothes are uppermost in everyone's thoughts. Felt hats are due to be the vogue, one of the smart new models being worn by Joan Perry, center, movie starlet. It has a widely creased crown and upturned back brim Elizabeth

CHAPTER X rvESPITE the "feud," Fields gave ^ the precocious Infant some of his best parts. He did something in "The Old Fashioned Way” that no other actor on the screen could have done without arousing protest. Fields, head of a struggling vaudeville troupe—a troupe whose troubles were strangely reminiscent of Fields' own early difficulties—landed In a small town and took up residence in a hoarding bouse. Jan Duggan played a widow with Baby LeRoy as her Infant son. LeRoy proceeded to drop Fields' watch In the molasses, bit him in the eye with cream pie and in other ways mnoy the old master. Finally Fields catches the youngster alone. After a cautious look around to / make sure he Isn't / observed, he gives the infant a severe kick, landing him flat on his face on the floor. It was one of the funniest scenes in the picture a n d audiences the tengt h

immediately and was distinctly on the mend after that time. With his mind busy, his recovery was rapid. He has no particular plans for the future. He hopes to go right on making comedies as long as he is able. If it ever happens that he has to quit acting, he plans to write. He wants to write comedies for the screen, and maybe some day he'll sit down by himself, or maybe with his friend Jim Tully and knock out his own life story. It oufeht to be a best seller. When Eddie Sutherland railed the final “Cut” on "Poppy” and the pic-

n n d \ breadth (it the land r o a red with laughter There wasn't a single pro- \j\ test over that scene —a grown ma \ strik* Ing a child. Only Fields couI<1 have gotten away with It. Fields readily admits he likes Raby LeRoy. Invariably adding, "1 do like him properly cooked." but the facts stand that he has a real fondness for the youngster He frequently buys him presents and his most prized picture Is one of LeRoy and himself riding a couple ol kiddie cars. Once, hearing that LeRoy's op tion was about due. Fields hastily wrote a part for him In s picture so that the studio would be conscious of the fact that LeRoy was a valu able properly. Fields has a horror of Inactivity. During his Illness, his recovery was delayed because ne fretted wild nothing to do He bits been working so long that he can t stand Idleness. He first began to show improvement when the studio announced that “Poppy" had delinltely been set as his next picture and that he was going to start working on the story as soon as he was able. Bill started

Hire went to the editing department, Fields departed in haste for a nearby hot springs. From there he planned to go to Arizona, in his magnificent trailer, and live In the desert for a few weeks In his beloved sunlight. It never can get too hot for Fields. But he won't be Idle. He'll be hard at work on a new story that he hopes to start again before long. And the studio Is Just as anxious to have him start another one. Fields Is one of the biggest box office attractions In Hollywood, ranking far ahead of many feminine charmers and handsome male stars. Recently a newspaper conducted a popularity poll In one of the MidWestern states. Claudette Colbert was the most popular woman, and Fields—by a very large majority— the favorite male. And he Is Just as popular In Hollywood among the picture colony as he Is all over the country. No one comedian commands the universal respect of every other screen funny man that Fields receives. The late Will Rogers never missed one cf Fields' pictures. Once, being out of town, he failed to see a Fields release. He easily could have gotten the film by calling Paramount but apparently he wanted to see 11 with an audience. lie scanned the papers dully until be saw that Um ptcluiu was

playing at a small town some distance from Los Angeles lie dropped everything, jumped in his car and drove there. Just to see tile picture. Hollywood has a dozen favorite stories about Fields. One night Fields and Gregory LaC'u va were having dinner in the Brown Derby. A friend, his wife and young daughter dropped in. waved greetings and took a table across the room. Fields and LaCava put their heads together, called over n waiter and sent the friend a bottle of champagne. The friend, not to be outdone, had the waiter take a bottle of Scotch back to Fields and LaCava. They debated a moment, then sent out and had an enormous box of candy brought to the young lady. The friend responded with a box of cigars. Fields and LaCava ordered a huge basket of wines and had it despatched to the friend, lie sent back an even a \ larger basket Fields and J, \ LaCaya finally bad a case ■ of Imported liqueurs W \ delivered to the 1 \ friend and beat a hasty retreat before another gill could be sent back. But probably the greatest story of all concerns an Important executive, Fields, a telephone call and the ever faithful Rod The executive is the kind no one says "no” to. It was a warm afternoon and Fields was snatching a few moments sleep The phone rang and Rod answered. An important executive was calling—let's say Brown He had to speak to Fields and convinced Rod that it would he all right to awaken the comedian. Somewhat timidly he shook Bill's shoulder “Eh? Eh?" said Bill sleepily. “W'hassa matter?" "Mr Brown wants to talk to you on the phone.” “Which Mr. Brown?" muttered Fields. “I don't know" "Find out." Rod did He returned. Fields was already asleep again. Rod shook him. "Huh?" said Fields. “It's Mr John Brown.” “Oh —him," sleepily. "Whnsshe want?" “I don't know.” Rod admitted. “Go find out.” Once more Rod talked to Brown and came back to find Fields asleep. For the third time he woke him up. "He wants to know If you'll make a picture for him—an important picture." “Huh?” “Mr. Brown—he wants you t». make a picture for him." said Rod. naming a production that later was a sensation. "Oh," moaned Fields. "Give him an evasive answer—tell him to go to hell!” And Mr Fields promptly went back to sleep. THE END.
