A Double Movie Camera.

A moving picture camera which takes
two exposures at the same time, max
ing it possible to take scene and u
vision" simultaneously, and to pro-
duce many weird and startling effects,
has been invented and put into use by
an American film manufacturer.
A vision" in motion picture par
lance, is something which takes place
In the mind Of one of the characters,
and tho making OF visions has always
been attended by numerous technical
difficulties, which are wholly elimi-
mated by this device.
Tho invention has also made possible
some startling illusions. Several differ
ent heads are made to appear upon the
same body in lightning succession in
one freak comedy, and in another pic
ture a lion is seen eating out of the
same plate with a little girl.
The taking of two negatives stimuli
taneously is also an insurance against
the numerous accidents that may hap
pen to a single negative, in the course
of taking or developing, and may save
the producer many costly "retakes."
The same inventor has also perfected
a dAvice by which the words supposed
to be spoken by the characters are reg
istered upon the picture. Thus the 'fn-
serts" and -subtitles' which usually
interrupt the course of the movie
drama may be read as tho scenes are
unfolded.

THE EVENING STORY.
Mr.. Kelsey CapituIates.
Copyright. 1915. By W. Werner,


Ezra Kelsey prided himself on his
dislike of "newfangled" things. 1t
was only as matter of protection
and by repeated illustrations that he
had bought the newest things in ma
chinery for his farm. He had openly
rebelled at the installation of tele-
phone.
What in thunder do we want one
for?' he asked his wife. who had added
her mild plea to that of the telephone
company's agent.
Fur one thing. the DOCTORS mighty
distance off, she said. 'If we needed
him in a hurry we'd be mighty glad
of telephone"
We'll. when we need one in a hurry

after him. he answered. Il don't want
one o. them things on the place. An
I won't have one"
If the agent had understood Mr.. kel-
sey's tones as well as his wife did he
would have desisted then and saved
himself half an hour of useless talk
After he was gone Mr.. Kelsey said to
his wife: I'm sorry if you wanted one
o them fool things, Mary. but / can't
bear things like that-gas, electricity,
all them things is foolish in my eyes.

from the ways of father. If every one

cessful man. And he didn't have none

Cause they didn't have 'em in his
day." Mrs. Kelsey could not forbear
saying, although Mr.. Kelsey did not
like argument. '1f they'd a had 'em

he'd a got one
TO it," Mr.. Kelsey said, offended and
surprised.
Mrs. Kelsey said no more. She was
sorry that she had said so much, a few
weeks later, when Susie made a plea
for an automobile, for she knew that 1t
lessened the chance of gratifying her.

months, Jim and Bob took the only
available horses and set out. Susie
preferred to leave after the others had
gone. But the Murrays and their high
stepping horse seemed slow to arrive.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelsey sat dressed and
waiting for some time. At last he be-
came restless.

CONVICT RECRUITS.

CONVICT RECRUITS. - A dis
patch from Lausanne says that the
Austrian emperor has released 96
lifetime convicts from prison on con-
dition that they join the army and
go to the front.
From the beginning of things this
same step has been taken in war
times, and upon each occasion it has
been demonstrated over and over
that it is this class of soldiers who
rape and pillage, or who shoot their
officers in the back and desert. The
large per cent of lifetime conYicts
are cOWardly brutes. Only in rare
instances can they be made into
good soldiers.

GOING AFTER US.-It would be
clear waste of good space to go into
details of the U. S. industrial commits
siOn's committee report on the Stand
ard Oil strike at BayOnne, N. ].
Briefly put, the committee found
that the Standard Oil Co. Of New
Jersey pays enormous profits and
wages too low to maintain a family
on healthful basis; that the company
imported thugs from New York city
and Immediately upon their arrival
at BayOnne the shooting and cutting
began; that the employees are not per-
mitted to UniOnize or have any rep
resentatiOn of themselves collectively.
This is Standard Oil policy every
where, and long known to- be such,
but what is more important is the
declaration by the committee that
the Standard Oil managers tan-
nounce their intention to enter the
field of industrial relations with a
view to widening their influence and
activity, propagating such policies"
Given rope enough, the Standard
will make all of us slaves, to be sup
pressed by hired thugs, and here's no
tice that the Standard has set out
to accomplish this.

GARDEN HINTS

Whenever possible procure peren-
'nials-they are the most satisfactory
class of plants, and especially adapted
to the farmers garden. During this
month, if possible, procure seeds that
have just ripened, from your friends,
and plant them at once. Or maybe
you can find self-grown seedlings
about the base of the early blooming
sort.
Keep on hand good supply OF in

Pergolas add much to the beauty of
the home grounds.
Under the tree in the cool shady
part of the grounds a children's play
house or rustic, open structure is a
good place for play and rest for both
young and old.
We can never get too much of the
open air, even though we live IN the
country; and such covered place un-
der the trees makes a fine nook in
which to read or take nap and fully
enjoy the sweets of outdoor life.
For wet weather concrete walks are
economical. They are cheaply and
easily made. They need not necessa-
rily be wide, but there should be
enough of them SO that all the out
buildings and other much frequented
spots can be reached without walking
on the wet ground.
The grounds about the barn and
other stock buildings should be as neat
and clean as the home grounds proper.
This is both good farm management
and mark of good taste and charac-
ter on the part of the farmer.
Good fences around all the home
grounds and lots are a necessary con-
venience, and keeping them in good
repair adds to the neatness and beauty
of the picture as a whole.
The Colorado statesman., 1915-09-04
BEAUTY OF HOME YARD
BY II, H. SHEPARD,

The immediate grounds about the
home can be made beautiful, and an
effort should be made in that direction.
The home grounds should be ample, as
large as is consistent with the size
of the dwelling.
An acre is not too much. Some
think that an acre of land is too much
to waste on simple door yard, but
the better the home grounds the bet
ter will be the life of the family.
1t is a wrong estimate of life and
property to be forever making money
to enlarge the farm in area, in buying
extra tracts Of land for future use, and
not improve and make the best of the
ground where the wife and children
spend nearly all of the best of their
life.
Some look forward and prepare too
much for pleasure to come, and do
not expend any means on making the
present the very best that it can be.
They let the home grounds and sur
roundings remain shabby and unim
proved, spending the extra money on
property to be handed down to the
children or putting it in the bank.
This is wrong when there is any
neglect in home improvement. If the
children need help, by all means, they
need it now while they are helpless
more than when they grow up and
will be able to fully care for them
selves, perhaps much better than we
ever shall be able to care for them.
They need the comforts, healthful-
ness, and identifying influences Of
good homes and surroundings in or
der to make them healthy, strong.
beautiful and good. These are in
finitely better than inherited real es-
tate, personal property, or money.
The child whose home life is per-
feet for physical and mental develop
ment will go out into the world with a
rich heritage.
The grounds around the home
should be well drained and graded to
suit the location. The main open
part of the space should be lawn of
good grass and be kept moved low at
all times SO that the air and sunlight
may purify the soil.
Abundance of flowers, shrubs and
trees are essentials for completing the
picture, but flowers and shrubs must
be massed in clumps and borders
along the sides and the trees must
be grouped in one place, somewhat re-
moved from one side of the dwelling.

Presidents attitude and indicating

the European war to an end.
After reading the message the Car
dinal remained for half an hour with
the President discussing the possibili-
ty of peace and the world war situa-
ton generally.
He emerged smiling and walked
over to the State Department for a
conference with Secretary Lansing.
Later he announced he had talked
peace with the President and told him
of his qualification over the apparent
success of the negotiations with Ger
many over submarine warfare
He spoke cheerfully of the situation,
saying the prospects for peace
seemed to be Frightening. The text
of the Pope's message was not made
public, nor was there any formal COM
ment on it from the White House. I'm
officially, however, it was said that
the President was much pleased with
the message and with the interview.
1t was understood that the Pope
made no definite suggestion as to a
peace movement and that his message
was purely personal one to Presi-
dent Wilson and not addressed to the
heads of other neutral governments.
Joint action for peace among the
heads of several neutral nations and
the Pope was suggested as possible
outcome of the days developments,
but this idea received no official con-
firmation Up to the present the
United States has acted entirely alone
in the single offer it has made to be
of service in bringing about peace.
The Mexican situation was touched
upon incidentally by Cardinal Gibbons
both at the White House and at the
State Department, with an expression
of his hopes for an early restoration
of order and government in that coun-
try.
