DECENCY CAMPAIGN

It begins to look as though the American Churches" campaign for decency on the screen may have some effect after all.

As a beginning it is stated that. Mae West's "It Ain't No Sin" is to be laundered." Retakes will be made of certain scenes and some of the dialogue-which Miss West xenerally writes herself-will bo' re-written.

Flames over 30 feet in height were leaping over Covent Garden when fire broke out in a huge by basket warehouse, owned Messrs. T. J. Poupart, the fruit company In Castle Street, Covent Garden, London.

The outbreak began shortly after six o'clock, when the busi ness of the market was at ita height, and the whole district was bar- congested with lorries and rows,

Almost as soon as the outbreak was noticed flames began leaping out of the roof, and by the time the district call brought dozens of fire engines to the scene, the wholo building was wrapped in a dense cloud of smoke and flame.

The warehouse is situated, in n maze of narrow lanes, which were crammed tight with frult torries. and it was some time before the Are engines could get anywhere near the fumes.

Five 00 ft. escapes were run up, and from the top of these Aremen directed their hoses into the build- ing. The smoke was so thick that at times the men on the top of the escapes could not be seen.
