MOVING PICTURES
or WAR IN BALKANS
Operators for London Firm Now
on the Way to Scene OF
Hostilities
THEIR LIVES INSURED
LONDON. Oct. Is.

LONDON. Oct. Is.
WITH the outbreak of hostilities In the
Balkans those most modern Of camp FOL
lowers. the cinematograph operators. have
been dispatched to the seat Of war with
enough Aim TO record the happenings OF
half century or ordinary events.
The editor Of Pathe,S Animated Gazette
explained yesterday how a cinema film
firm copes with the demand for pictures
of war scenes.
"A week ago two of our foreign cinema
correspondents, who in normal times are
stationed at Budapest and Odessa respec-
lively. left for Bulgaria" he said. and
since then We have sent more operators
from Paris and London One man was
sent 10 Constantinople. and by now pic
lures OF the preparations there snouid
be on their way home.
Each man sent out has taken at least
1860 feet of film. and fresh supplies viii
be sent out weekly An ordinary topa-
cal hIm only measures two or three
hundred feet. SO there viii be no snort
age.
The earliest pictures may be in Lon
don within q fortnight, and, OF course.
they viii be released II necessary. In
sections. as soon as possible.
All the operators sent out are insured
nv the firm. The rate at Lloyds yester-
day was 8 guineas per cent against risk
of death by accident within six months,
and II Is sure 10 go higher now that
hos,ilisies have actually begun
Few people who will see the pictures
on the screen realize fully the didicuities
which the cinema man has to overcome.
He Is far more heavily handicapped than
even q photographer. as the weight OF his
APPARATUS Is somewhere near 100 pounds,
and he Is apt TO be regarded - q
nuisance anywhere near the firing line.
This is not the first time we have had
TO organize cinema war service. One OF
she men who mas just gone out was II
the front in Tnpoii, and others have
faced danger in many parts OF the
world"

mo hitting below the belt" is an
axiom of the prize ring applicable to
every contest in life. Fair fighting is

the rights which belong to an adver-

not engender personal bitterness. In
a manly struggle hatred, contempt
and revenge have no legitimate place
1t is easy to believe that the prize

most syr@ pathetic feelings for him.
and yet he loses the battle if he loses
his head, his even temper and begins
to drive away regardless. If his own

Here's good news for the lazy sum.
mer time. An English doctor says
reading in bed isn't anything like
80 bad as the family have always
told us 1t was. In fact, done in the
right way it hurts the eyes less than
reading sitting up. HAD it been the
universal practice during the last
twenty or thirty years." says this
jewel of an authority, ito give careful
directions how to read lying down, in
stead of saying to one and all, You
must not read lying down. there
would be less nearsight and better
eyes in the community than now ex-
ist." If you would read lying down
without harm follow three simple
rules: Arrange the bed or sofa so
that the light comes from behind your
head and strikes full on the page, says
the New York Evening World. Don't
hold the book close to the eyes. Don't
tip it. Hold it so that the lines of the
letters are at right angles to a line
drawn from your eyes. Not only may
you read thus without injury, but you
may have the added satisfaction that
your position is giving your body a
time for rest and repair while you
amuse yourself
