Forgery and utering is charged in

child, a member of the local bar. who

In a light and listless market prices
on the Washington Stock Exchange
today were disposed to react frac.
tiopally.
The sales recorded, four in number.
were confined to three bonds and two
odd let's OF stock.
Two $500 Capital Traction SIS were
disposed of at ioe. and a 81, 900 WASH
ing ton Railway and Electric 4 brought
SIN. The other sales consisted OF a
single share of American Security and
ten shares Of Lanston Monotype at az.
Despite the denials of the reported
probable merging of the two street rail-
way companies. the action of the stocks
lent strength to the rumors. For the
first time In several weeks Capital
Traction and Washington Railway and
Electric common were quoted at the
same price, the bid and asked figures on
each being S91k and 81, respectively.
Traction appears to have been relieved
of much of the pressure with which II
met for some time. and Railway COM
mon was lacking its usual support both
yesterday and today.
The broker who usually deals most
heavily In the Railway issues was the
one to establish quotations on the COM
mon today: lowering the bid and asked
figures each a half point.
A statement Just issued by the Bal

s.. .732.040 for that month in 1914, or an
increase Of $544.166. The net operating

better. In May. 1915, 1t totaled g, ,113, ,405.

Films are rented to theaters at
prices according to their ages. For
that reason, houses advertising
'first-run" pictures have new films.
The life of the average film Is 80 to
12O days-continual service-then 1t
becomes commercial film and Is used
as "fill-in" to complete a program.
In this manner films are sometimes
used for a year.
There are an average Of sixteen
pictures to a foot of film. AS each
reel Of film averages 1000 feet, 1t
can be seen that 1900 separate pic
lures are projected on a screen dur
ing the course Of fifteen to eighteen
minutes.
"The film is carefully inspected be-
fore each days SHOW, at the film
exchange. Here inspectors go over
every foot Of film carefully for torn
sprocket holes. had patches, ETC..
after which 1t Is turned over to the
operator for the theater, who in
turn inspects 1t and makes neces-
sary repairs or patches up bad
spots. The newer the film, the less
inspecting has to be done.
Rain and scratches are not
preventable. because all motion pic
ture operators are not as careful as
they should be. Much Of the rain
however, Is eliminated when a film
is renovated that is, carefully
cleaned with a preparation by hand
or by q machine.

AT no time was the volume of busi-

Waddell said he had been questioned

Ensign Graham, he said, had given
him his word that his statements would
go no further. but afterward said that
he regarded It as his duty to make the
conversation known.
The witness then told of having made
four trips to the engineering building at
night for the purpose Of finding what
marks he had made on recitations.

Celestia's real work had begun. Often
always in his heart. was the belief that
Celestia was divinely inspired and OF
divine origin. He would. tolerate no
other theory from any one. To Ccles-
tia's theory of world-reform he listened
devoutly and in a humble way.
Mrs. Douglas and Nelly also believed
that Celestia had come from heaven.
