New Turkey's modern fire engines could not combat a high northerly wind fanning the tinderlike houses. Thd fire chief and his aides lost their heads and rushed into the thick of the flames only to he incapacitat- ed and sent to a hospital leaving the | firemen without directors, A hurried call brought the Con-| stantinople fire forees across the Bosphorus, but there as so much \ Rhy excitement that they forgot to bring their hatchets and pumps. Finally midMtary caterpillar 'tractors were called out to roll out and smother the flames. The loss was estimated at 1,000,- 000 liras. The origin of the fire was attri- buted to an old woman trying to burn out wood bugs from the lat- tices in the windows of her shack.

At the New Martin "HORSEBACK HERO" NEW ROLE Hoot Gibson essays a new role in his latest Western comedy farce film, "A Hero on Horseback," a Univer- s2l-Jewel which will be the feature attraction at the New Martin Thea- ire today. Aithough he still retains his familiar garb of the land . of cactus, cattle and cowboys, Hoot dis- cards his docking bronco for a swivel chair and a mahogany desk and becomes a banker. Down on the "back ranch" of the Universal lot in the midst of the heterogenous collection of buildings set up to create the atmosphere of a street in a Western, cattle coun- try town, 2 spacious banking office was constructed, with a burglar- proof vault, and fifted with the cus- tomary banking fixtures. However, in keeping with the locale of the story, saddles and other cowboy paraphernalia are very much in evidence. It will be quite a thrill to film fans ~ho always associate their cowboy screen favorites with fast-riding, two-gun action to see Hoot esconced hehind the counter playing the role of a capitalist. However, there fis more than a Western touch to the picture which embodies light comedy interspersed vith thrills, suspense and human interest, with the inimitable Gibson HOOTS riding the crest of every scene and situation with his winning personal- ity. Ethlyne Clair was drafted from the cowboy film ranks to play the leading feminine role opposite Hoot, whil. the venerable, though exceed- inely spry Dan Mason, of Toomer- ville Trolley fame, assists the star in lending laughs to the pieture.

The financial gains made by the feminine investors in a single com- pany last year equalled the total wealth amassed by such famous fig- ures as Commodore Cornelius Van: derbilt, Jay Gould and John Jacob Astor, There are more women stock: holders than men in several large corporations, And women are not as easily fri ghtened as men in time of depres: slon--they retain their holdings hopefully awaiting the pendulum's swing that once more will boost their profits.
