New York HarbOr Tied
Up During Battle Scene

Production of a photoplay tied up traf-
fic in New York harbor recently and
frightened a lot of tug captains out of
their wits. When Stage Manager Col
lins of the Edison Company, had COM
pleted arrangements for the production
OF The Battle of Mobile Bay" he Sc
cured permission to use Fort Schuyler
as one of the Confederate forts. Eiec-
trically operated wooden guns were
mounted on the wall. which. though per-
feCtIv harmless. emitted very realistic
puffs of smoke. When everything Was
ready. Collins gave the signal for the
battle TO begin. Almost at the same
time two large tugboats steamed around
th.. bead, headed directly into the sup
posed line of fire. The captains. seeing
Collins wiSwagSing and the guns puff
ing, thought that the fort was having
target practice. They Veered of sharp
~ and began whistling frantic warm
ings to other boats behind them. They,
in turn. took up the warning, and in a
moment they was a deafeping uproar
The unexpected turn of affairs did not
disturb "Adiniral' Collins. In fact, he
was delighted with the additional din
and excitement. which assisted greatly
in giving the soldiers and sailors the
proper atmosphere.

to slump, which is the first sign Of age.
Rolling Most Valuable.
But of all the exercises. she says,
rolling is the most valuable. She told
me IL she had only one chance she
would choose rolling Back and forth,
over and over. she rolls every morning
and every night on a hard floor for at
least twenty minutes, and sometimes
longer.
"As for her diet. she has only the
rule of eating regularly, and the food
that does the most good. | was par
ticularly interested in what she told me
about food, for it seems simple and
practical for men and women alike.
She is a clever woman, and has a
most urusual store Of information on a
variety of subjects. Early in her life
she decided to find what foods gave the
greatest nourishment. and to make them
the staple in her dietary. She has never
eaten to please the palate alone. but fer
the purpose of feeding her body She
told me she never ate enough to feel
stuffy. Starches are almost eliminated
in her food scheme, and fresh fruits are
important. She never drinks with her
meals, and during the score of years she
has been a model she has never been
seriously ill.,"
