With The Movies

By developing moving pictures in a
bath William Bitter, Photographic
expert for the Mutual Film Corpora
ton, made a new record for the length
of time in which moving pictures can
be photographed, developed, printed
and projected upon a screen.
The pictures were made of the dele
gates to the Moving Picture Exhibi-
tors Association of New York in the
Hotel Imperial At o'clock in the
afternoon the delegates posed for a
moving picture in the street, near the
hotel, and at o'clock the result was
exhibited at the convention hall in
Terrace Garden.
Three reels were taken in the af-
ternoon, one of the delegates grouped
in front of the hotel, one of them en-
tering the building, and a third of the
moving crowds at Broadway and Thir-
ty-frst Street. All these were shown
the same night, and, according to the
experts a record of celerity was es-
tablished.
Mr.. Bitter who was formerly asso-
ciated with the Biograph, lately joined
the force of the Mutual Film Cropora-
ton. He is said to have been the first
motion picture camera man to grind a
camera in the United States and is ac-
Inowedged to be an authority on the
subject of moving picture photogra-
ply.

FEDERAL LEADERS CONFIDENT
General Oroszc Returning From Trip
Over The Field Reported
Conditions Favorable

Ojinaga, Mexico, Jan. S.-Return-
ing today to Ojinaga from reconnoi-
tering trip ten miles inland General
| OrosZco, commander of the federal
volunteers, said he had encountered
only the outposts of the rebel army.
The rebels are believed to be concen-
trating under the personal direction
of General Villa to present a solid
front when they again march on Dim
aga.
All nine generals who remained
in the trenches here with 1000 fed
eral soldiers said every hour of delay
gave them an opportunity to make
greater preparations to resist an at
tack. They said General Villa would
have to increase the rebel forces
greatly to repeat the six days battle
of last week when the rebels came
within four hundred yards of the
Ojinaga trenches without being able
to take them.
General Castro, commanding the
federal regular army, said he was
confident his army never would be
beaten by Villa. He said he was well
aware that the impending conflict
was momentous to the Huerta re-
gime. at would settle y he said
'the question of whether the Mexico
City government was to maintain its
authority in the north or whether
the lawless rabble which goes by the
name of constitutionalists is to have
full sway"
The federal commander said his
soldiers had endured hardships gone
without foor for days, ragged and
footsore they had marched over the
waterless desert as a token of their
loyalty and he did not believe they
would run at the sound of battle.
"We1l never retreat, but all of US
will die right here in Ojinaga if our
ammunition gives out He himself

form as evidence of the recent fight
ing.
Reports reached headquarters that
since their withdrawal from the bat
tie early Monday the rebels had not
only been strengthened by reinforce
ments from Chihuahua but they also
had obtained quantities of ammuni-
ton. The federal army has only
what ammunition was left after the
battle and has no means of replenish-
ing its stores.
A story of the death of Col. Luis
Guilty, relative of the rich Terrazas
family who joined the federal army
as az volunteer, was told today by a
priest. The priest said Guilty acci-
dentally shot by his own men in last
Sundays engagement, had requested
when dying that the rumor of his
shooting be kept from the rebels, as
they might consider the federals had
become unmanageable.

were very bright and there was be-
coming pink flush in her cheeks.
Il told you at breakfast that Victor
Is coming over to lunch with us; I
telephoned him that needed legal ad-
vice concerning the sale Of the west

Barbara's dark brows drew together
in frown. I'm sorry, mother, but I
would rather not be here when Victor

"You have quarrelsd again7" asked
Mrs. Lee regretful1y.

you have no idea what a relief It is
to me to be rid OF the shackies Of my
engagement to Victor! I never real
i1ed before what It meant to be tied
down to a tyrannical man."
Mrs. Lee bit her lip. Barbara was
SO ridiculous. What sane woman
would call Victor Goodwin a tyrant?
III you had told me this morning l
would not have embarrassed Victor by
inviting him to lunch" she said quiet
ly. "As 1t is. perhaps 1t Is well that
you are going out and you may as we'll
drop in at Molly's and have luncheon
l want to talk business with Victor"
Very well-and, mother, dear. you
mustn't think care the least bit about
this broken engagement, because do
not" explained Barbara carefully; "it
is the greatest relief to be heart-free
and | just simply couldn't remain in
the house this morning-I've got to
work off my excitement some way and
I'm going on Joy ride!"
Joy ride?" echoed her mother.
We'll, joyful ride-if that sounds
more refined" said Barbara from the
doorway She darted back to kiss her
mothers delicate cheek and once more
in the doorway she sighed relievedly:
"You can't imagine how delightful It
feels to be free!"
Il suppose Victor feels the same
way" agreed Mrs. Lee; I've heard
that as soon as a man becomes en-
gagged he begins to chafe against the
bonds that shackle him against all his
former bachelor freedom. Well, good
by, dear-I wish you Joy on your joy
ride!"
Barbara went down the hall and out
on to the piazza where her own little
electric runabout was waiting before
the steps. She hummed little song
as she entered the car and waited for
Fritz to crank up. In a moment she
was gliding down the avenue under
the arching elm trees and out Of the

so much to ciyilize society as the
free public library.
Our public schools have been the
chief source of the greater general
intelligence and industrial superior
ity of our citizens over those of 9TH
er countries, but public schools can
not do ii all nor accomplish impos-
sibilities.
The schools reach the majority of
people for only six or eight years
less than two per cent go through
the high schools but wherever there
is public library, the teachers are
to blame if they do not graduate
their pupils, at whatever age they
leave school into that greater school
the public library and inspire in
them a love of books.
Teachers differ as to methods and
relative importance of various
branches but all agree that all stu
dents should be led to this store
house of all knowledge and fountain
of inspiration-the library. In the
really up to date school, the chief
building is the library-it is the
center of activity, all departments
cluster about it and draw informa-
tion and inspiration from it. Wher-
ever you find a collection of books
there and in them you have found
a University. The American system
of schools points out the independent
study of the book; it points to self

1t furnishes information to teachers,
ministers, authors and all literary
workers.; it furnishes books and
magazines for technical instruction
and industrial workers; it is of great
benefit to the city and to the individ-
ual by affording the highest and pur-
| est entertainment, by substituting
the reading room for the bar room
and thereby lessons crime and disor-
der; it makes the city a more desir-
able place of residence, attracting
! citizens of the best character; it ele-
Yates the general standard of living,
morality and intelligence; a man
who establishes a hospital, does a
good act and yet he helps but a few,
but man or a woman who estab-
fishes or fosters a library, establishes
a public good, which is a living vital
force, having within itself the capac-
ity of infinite growth and repreduc-
tion; it may, in turn, found dozen
hospitals and art museums and in

and at the same time impart all

The Benefits of a Library

literature develops higher morality
and a true culture and refinement =.
In the school and in the home, books
are also an aid to discipline; they
change the current of thought. The
public school makes our children
bread winners-tne library makes
them men, starting them on life
long course of Instruction, which
will make them worthy citizens of
our republic.
The public library, for the sake of
the poor and in view of the fact that
so few have high school course or
college education, must be made to
supplement the public school and in
such way as to lead to a continued
course in the library, no matter at
what age the school career may
close. If the public library cost ten
times as much as it does, it would
still be profitable investment.
In Polk county it costs about $40
a year for each child's education; it
costs one dollar per family or an
average of twenty cents year per
child to receive the full benefit of
the Lakeland library one year.
The public library doubles the
value of the education the child re-
ceives in school and best Of al i'm
parts desire for knowledge which
serves as an incentive to continue
his education after leaving school
and furnishes not along the incen-
tive but the means To spend twenty
dollars to enable our boys and girls

$4,000 for a fine auto and refuse an
additional twenty cents for gasoline

The Lakeland evening telegram., 1914-05-26

This is the time of the year when
most of the children have a little
couraged to do so. We have in our
little city a library where for a few
cents you can find excellent reading
for the entire summer-new books,
old books-all kinds The library is
situated in Mrs. Fletcher's studio,
one block south of the Auditorium;
here you will find a splendid collec-
tion of books in charge of Mrs.
Fletcher, who has labored so faith
fully in building the library up to
its present condition, and much cred
it is due her for making it in number
of volumes and quality what it is
When it was turned over to her
care it consisted of a little over a
hundred unassorted books, now there
are nearly thousand books, well
classified, shelyed and cared for.
Tn the interest of the reading pub
lie, Mrs. Fletcher has kindly donat
ed the use of her studia to house the
library in, until a suitable building
is provided, and every Wednesday
and Saturday she and her commit
tee have faithfully and gratuitously
served those wishing to draw books
and aided those engaged in literary
research.
In connection with the above an
nouncement the following words may
he appropriate.
The great duty of the world today
is the education of the masses and
the more that can be judiciously
spent along that line the better. The
Enlightenment of the people is the
greatest safeguard any nation can
throw about her subjects.
There is nothing SO vitally con-
nected with the life of the whole
people as their reading matter and
there is no institution that can do
