heart; at least not in the movies.
AMATEUR camera men, OF whom there are several
thousand in the United States, lombard the manu-
facurers with news pictures, just amateur writers
lombard the magazines with stories In each the
mortality is high. Hardly ten per cent of the moving
pictures accepted Most of them either spoiled
in the taking show so local in character
to be unavailable for national news film This should
not of course, be confused with the other and larger
phase of the moving picture business-the dramatic
end In that department amateur scenario writer's make
the editors life burden. Not scenario in hundred
is accepted.
The amateur man lives in rose-cloud of an
ticpation chiefly because big breaks sometimes
at most unexpected places. Hence the man in the
small town lives in state of readiness He may have
only the birds and the bees and the village characters
subjects for weary weeks months For years
maybe even generation nothing will happen in
his town that would interest even the next county.
Then morning he wakes up to find that express
train has jumped into the river or that cyclone has
wiped the county off the map, that earthquake
has swallowed up his kith and kn-and that all the
world is looking his way with inquiring eyes,
1t is his golden hour He always knew that every dog
had its day. and he knew his day wasn't going to be
night So he turns his eager footsteps toward the
of the catastrophe A lifetime of waiting is rewarded.
He fingers about the place and takes the picture again
and again. Then he goes home and sends his film to the
manufacturer
In week or less he receives reply. It's heavy odds
that his wonderful picture is the way back to him
rejected. The manufacturer may ASST gn one of dozen
rcasons,-the film may be scratched; it may be dirty;
the exposure may have been i'll timed; it may not have
been exposed at all "a common fau, and consequently
show nothing it may be unsteady it may show static,
it may not be of character that will appeal to the
entire country Or it may be that amateur is the
tenth and his picture is accepted. The letter in

hundred dollars 1t is seldom more than fifty dol

way the night of the game The man minus four thou
sand dollars was thundersruck, Bright and early the
next morning he went to law about it.
The Judge announced that the case without
precedent, What to the point, he decided
that the fourthousand dollar had lost; also that
he would have to pay the costs. The court held that
ball player became public character the
spectators paid admission fee and that anybody who
could get away with it was entitled to take pictures,
moving or STILL of public characters.
Bidding for World Series privileges has become
negligible since then far movie concerned.
Pictures of the last games in Boston obtained
cost of twenty-five dollars, and that spent for
stand.
SOMETIMES a manufacturer orgets his better judg-
= ment and buys concession anyhow. Such was the
when the international polo games played at
Westbury, Long Island, last June. The Polo Assoca-
ton sold the privilege of taking exclusive pictures for
sum said to have been than two thousand dollars.
The games were between the American Big Four
and the British chalengers and the first big

stuff for movies: it is full of fire and action These
games had been given millions of lines of free advertis.
ing The theatrical man on Broadway who could hang
out sign "See the Polo Game Here Tonight" could
turn crowds away The game worth taking chances
on from movie viewpoint.
TO make sure that and only firm should get
the pictures the Polo Association warned other manu-
facturers that lawsuits would follow attempts to Steal
the game; it scrutnzed with unusual every camera
that went into the grounds Gor newspaper photog-
raphers were admitted permits and it scattered

fence was on the fourth side, it looked for time if
the purchaser was lucky fellow who would do his
days work and receive his fat profit in peace.
Only for time did it so, however. On the

EVEN THE PILGRIM FATHERS

X7HEN telling the story of the Pilgrim Fathers to
the children of primary grade in large CITY,
the teacher tried to impress upon them the fact that the
country barren at that time Later they were told

asked:

After moments silence little girl said, "They

A AM-HEATED OCEAN
A FOURTH-YEAR class was beginning the study of
ocean currents.
"Why is the ocean warmer in some places than it in

The children puzzled. Finally Alexander,

OLD HICKORY
THE fth-grade class in history stories had been study

WHAT A LAWYER NEEDS
IN preparation for a reading lesson in the sixth grade
had written number of the difficult words upon the
blackboard. The pupils expected to consult the
dictionary and to be ready later with the meaning Of
each. One of the words agility When called for
its meaning the reply came promptly
"Quickness."
Then asked what people would need agility in their
occupations.
The pupils answered, "Firemen sailors, policemen
and one small but extremely lively boy said, "a lawyer"
"Whv would lawyer need agility, lohn?" asked
He'd need it in his tongue in talking" answered

ONE little girl always had dislike to recite before the
rest of the class,-a of extreme self conscious
