Movie Actors Use Motor
Cars For Light Projectors

Night motion photography in the
most inaccessible places, those places
where artificial light has heretofore
been unknown. has been made pos
sible by means of an independent.
travelling power plant. the fruit of the
fertile brain of Romaine Fielding.

field work where it is impracticable
to run wires for miles in order to get
night photography, is the belief of
Mr.. Fielding. Not only that, but he
has completed arrangements to trans
port his entire company and host of
properties" to Northern Arizona.
where this Fall he expects to stage
pictures in the Grand Canyon, and by
means of the light from his porta BILE
plant, to delve into the depths of the
caverns OF the great crevass and to
utilize for his purpose the dark re-
ceSses, caves and trails. 1t will be
the first time where the canyon has
actually been employed as a stage for
the pictured drama.
The outfit, besides providing equip
ment for running wires. is also equip
ped with powerful twelve-inch navy
searchlight of the protector type. This
is mounted on the seat beside the
driver and may be operated either
while the car is moving or standing
still. The capacity of the searchlight
is 100000 candlepower and when in
operation requires 25 per cent. of the
full power of the engine.
The first big picture in which the
plant will be thoroughly tested will
be THE Great Divide" This will be
one of the biggest features ever at
tempted. A part of it will be taken
in and around Phoenix and the re-
mainder in the neighborhood of the
Grand Canyon, using that wonderful
place for backgrounds. It will be a

roles. Frances Starr, Blanche Bates.

MOTORISTS WARNED
OF WINTER RISKS
Running Car Through Snow Is
Simple and inexpensive,
Says Francis N. Hugo.
BY FRANCIS NJ. HUGO.
(Secretary of State of New York;


The return Of the winter brings
home annually to many a motorist the
usual precaution for protecting bis

proof. To some extent this is true.
but 1t is in motoring that the winter
brings with 1t special risks which are
by no means insignificant.
Frozen surfaces particularly are pro-
ductive of much more skidding than Is
ordinarily realized. No more dangerous
condition exists than when the high
way Is covered with a light fall Of
daytime and been frozen again at
night. When q surface like this has
been rolled down by much traffic. 1t be-
comes nothing better than an ordinary

Ordinarily the resistance offered to
motor cars by the snow Is much LEES
than generally imagined. especially
when the snow is not yet beaten down
by the wheel traffic. Nothing but the
most slippery of surfaces and icelike
glass edges Of the highway can be said
to be serious so far as motor car driv-
ing is concerned. Frequently, one may
see automobiles being driven over the
icy ponds and lakes with most perfect
control of the machines.
But care should be taken not to drive
too far toward the side Of the road. as
slipping may ditch the machine. Pro-
caution also should be taken when en-
tering snow drifts that are very deep.
as these are often apt to strain and
bend the delicate parts of the machin-
cry. But with the ordinary precaution.
snow drifts can easily be cut through
and those motorists who have not dared
attempt it will experience surprise when
they see how even small powered cars
can surmount obstacles which would
be impossible with horses or horse
drawn vehicles.

from today in mile relay race. Last
year the Fasteners took the meas
ure Of the Western four in a shorter
race, running against a second West
ern relay team.
OF the five Washington high
schools Only Eastern and Western
have sent in relay teams, and these
two will fight it out in what is ex-
pected to be a banner event. Both
aggregations have green runners,
who, according to reports, are doing
as we'll as could be wished for. 1t
was expected that St. Alban would
put in four to compete against
Western and Eastern, but Coach
Green says he has too few men in
condition for a race.
Another team may be put into the
race when the G. w. U. officials get
together to classify the relays. Ma
nassas has asked to be run against
some of. the Washington teams, as
the Virginia boys believe they are
as good as the Capital youngsters.

many years past these Virginia schools
have had 1t in for each other. In every
sport on the calendar they are found
fighting tooth and nail for the upper

have a slight edge on the Alexandria
boys, the race should prove unusually
good.

HoWsER's RECORD GOOD
Shows Two Periods of Re-
- markabIy Consistent Rolling
This Year.
BY KIRK c. MILLER.

Velvet Kind has insured itself a
place in the charmed circle of the
National Capital League when the
final sprint is run for the flag and
at present the Ice Cream Makers
look to be a good bet for third place,
If not better. BY winning three
games from the Potomacs Friday
night Captain Armiger's lads drew
within one game of Y. NJ. C. A. and
indeed the association boys will
have to hustle if their own little
runner-up position is not snatched
from them.
Probably no one member of the
Velvets is more responsible for the
fine display of duckpin rolling which
that squad has demonstrated than
Edward Howser who has a remark
able record for the season. At two
particular periods of the schedule,
Howser has had successful streaks
which furnish enlightening reading
to the students of the game. For
four nights beginning October 20 and
ending November s, and including a
total of eleven games, Howser spilled
exactly 1900 pins, or an average of
1882 pins per game. These marks
were made on both. the Velvet Kind
and Belmont teamsj
For two weeks after November his
game took a slump and he did not re-
cover his form until November IS. when
he commenced a three-night run which
in nine games gave him a total Of 1903
pins. or an average of 17L2 pins per
game. Such consistent rolling for so
long periods are unusual. and H0wser's
ability to keep to his stride has made
him one Of the most valuable men on
the Velvet Kind team.
Capt. Harry Armiger has detailed
Howser's record for the period mem
toned above. and 1t is reproduced here
