extracted text (Extract Text): In the Los Angeles harbor is a curious-appearing craft, its lower part resembling a rather dilapidated scow, and the upper part a modern battleship. It is a battleship built for the movies, the scow providing the hull. Of course, the eye of the camera will see only the graceful lines of the warship, the scow being carefully concealed when the "shots" are taken. Through the new method of fighting blazes along heavily trafficked thoroughfares adopted by the Pittsburgh fire department it now is possible for street cars and other vehicles to proceed without interruption. This end is achieved by stringing the hose lines over the trolley wires in the middle of the street, thus keeping them off the pavement and allowing traffic to keep on moving almost as rapidly as under ordinary conditions of the street.
