Move 90-Ton House
When Dr. Irving W. Parsons. Ev
erett, Wash., physician, decided to
move from his 10-acre country es
tate at Intercity, he determined to
bring his home, “Irvington,” along*
too.
When Charles L. Pehling, Seattle
house mover, says his company wi?l
“move anything, large or sma3,
inches or miles, on land or water,'*
he means it.
As a result, highway travelers and
residents of the vicinity witnessed
I what is probably the largest house
i moving operation ever attempted an
that locality.
The two-story house, weighing 99
tons, was hoisted on six house-mov
ing trucks, and moved slowly along;
on 24 iron wheels—pushed by a pair
of 75-horsepower bull-dozers and:
pulled by two large trucks.
The transient house moved an av
erage of two miles a day along niaur
miles of back roads and dclou»
between Intercity and Everett.
Salvation of Picture Industry
New ideas in film stories and
treatments, presented on a more
pretentious scale, will prove the sal
vation of the motion-picture irvdus*-
try despite the loss of millions at
dollars in revenues through destruc
tion of the European markets. This
is the belief of Edward Small, pre*»~
dent of a large production company.
“In addition to loss of the European;
market, producers are faced with#
the fact that audiences now know
every possible turn of a story and
every trick of the trade,” Small said.
“That is why we hear that certain
pictures, despite the fact that tfwqr
are embellished with expensive pro
duction trappings, fail. Willicut
those trappings, they are the samoe
old stuff.”
Mount Rubidoux
Mount Rubidoux rises abruptly
from the Santa Ana valley at River
side, Calif. At the crest is a crcs»

Junipero Serra, the heroic Francis
can missionary to the Indians. A
feature of special interest connect
ed with this mountain is the impres
sive Easter service held annually at
sunrise.
Large Ears
Heredity expert claims that if one

Friend in Need
Jacques Larches, four years old,
fell out of a window from the third
floor of his home. He probably
would have broken his neck except
for the fact he fell on a stray dog.
Both the dog and the boy are doing
well and neither was seriously hurt.
