"DONT'S" FOR PICTURE-PLAY
WRITER'S

Editors of photo-play scenarios saw
that thousands-tens of thousands of
persons are writing scenarios for
photo-plays, and of the vast number
centage are acceptable. Hundreds are
being written about the war, practi-
cally air of which are returned as the
public is stated with war stuff" Four
days after the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, one company received a seen
ario on that awful event. Nowhere is
the cry for peace heard more loudly
than in the picture studios. Apart
from that, the Writer'S Monthly warns
the novice p~hotoplay writer to observe
the following "dont's:"
Don't have people falling from run
away horses.
Don't have accidents in mines and
mills.
Don't write stories of the struggling
~photo-play writer.
Don't write stories that illustrate
old jokes and pranks.
Don't write stories in which animals
figure.
Don't use the TRANSMISSION of blood
idea.
Don't write stories of marital in
fidelity.
Don't take offense if your story is
returned because it is not original.
Don't write asking an editor if he
wishes a certain kind of story. Send
the story.
Don't ask editors to teach you how
to write stories.
Don't send a story Monday and fol
low it up Saturday with a letter ask
ing what disposition had been made
of it,
Don't harbor the idea that all editors
are thieves and waiting to steal your
story.
Don't forget to write your lame and
address on the manuscript.

o. competitive qualification tests as a
requisite for appointment to Office.
TO combat the rather general i'm
preston that competitive examina-
lions in all cases mean the answering
o. st~sreotyped technical questions,
M. Wales said:
For these high-grade positions
where men OF experience and attain
Certs are needed an examination is
gwen which does not require the com.
pStito-s TO assemble at any place or
10 answer technical questions. They
: called upon TO furnish, under oath,
q detailed statement OF their education
and experience, including all the work
they have done since graduation. They
also may be asked TO submit an orig
inal thesis or report on published
works. and they are required to give
the MT OF persons able and com
petent to testify as TO their experience
and personal fitness.
Confidential inquiry is made by the
commission from various sources as
well as OF all persons referred to by
the applicant. Gratifyingly accurate
and discriminating testimony Is OBJ
tanned by this means of confidential
communication. Such testimony APP
proximates, If not equals, the testi-
mony adduced upon cross-examination
In judicial proceedings. A demonstra-
ton of the ability of the competitive
system to obtain high-class men for
technical positions has been made
within the past year, in connection
with the employment OF men to ap-
praise the value Of the property Of
common carriers in the United States.
For this work the interstate COM
merce commission required men with
qualifications ranging all the way from
rodman and chairman to senior posi-
lions in civil. mechanical, structural,
electrical and architectural engineer
Ing, as well as motive power men and
expert accountants.
There have been approximately
$4,000 applicants for these positions,
and the task Of sitting the wheat from
the chaff and Of grading the wheat
after the sitting was one Of consider
able magnitude; but 1t was done, and
1t was done SO well that the interstate
commerce commission expressed it's
qualification to find that 1t could Sc.
cure a force SO we'll equipped to per.
form the gigantic task OF obtaining
an accurate appraisal Of the value OF
common carrier property. A system
which can successfully secure a com.
petent force of high-grade engineers
for this valuation work could surely
provide the proper kind Of Lien to
have charge Of the construction and
maintenance Of public highways"
1t Is expected that steps will be
taken to wage an active campaign in
every state for the elimination Of the
spoils system and to substitute for II
the merit system.

BUILD ROADS IN MOUNTAINS
California Highway Commissioners
Points Way for Opening Of Arabic
Lands-Convicts to Be Used.

"If you will give us the convicts TO
build roads through the mountains
there are 100000 acres OF arabic and
on the eastern plateau OF the Sierras
that can be opened for settlement,
said Charles F. Stern, highway com
missioner OF California, in supporting
the bill when passed the California
Legislature to permit prisoners TO he
employed in road building.
California prisoners have not been
employed In this work other than in
O small way around the prison. but
the need Of opening the mountain dis
tricts has started road building by
the prisoners.
The act just passed is modelled after
Colorado legislation, under which ex-
cellent results have been obtained.
The highway department is authorized
to make requisition upon the prison
department for the number OF conyicts
required, and is TO organize and main
tain the camps as well as supervise
the road work. The prison depart
ment, however, retains control over
the discipline OF the prisoners, and. al
though the national committee on
prisons and prison labor believes bet

partment maintains the camps. both

PRESERVING SEASON

There's the fragrance of the orient
through all the house today,
The spicy smell of cinnamon, cloves,
nutmeg, and bay,
And it mingles with the perfume of
the peaches and the plums;
Do you recognize this fragrance
when preserving season comes?
There are baskets heaped with apples;
heaped with damson plums and
pears;
Jelly glasses by the dozen; Mason jars
long stored down stairs,
Have been washed in boiling water,
and now stand in cleaning rows
And neatly written labels 500 their
contents will disclose.
Blackberry jams and melon pickles,
branded peaches, apple jell,
Preserved pears (last seasons win
ner) and ounce marmalade as
well;
All the sunshine of the summer for
the winter time put by;
All the orchards golden sweetness
ripened under azure sky.
Like the squirrels of the forest women
folks are full Of thrift
When Queen Nature in her beauty
pours before us gift on gift,
And l seem to read a promise in the
kettles frothy foam

SUPERVISION OF ROAD WORK
Suggestion Made by American High.
way Association and National
Civil Service Reform League.

A concerted movement for skilled
supervision of roadwork throughout
the United States has been launched
by the American Highway association
and the National Civil Service Reform
league. These two great organizations
co-operated in the holding Of a ses-
sion at the recent American road con-
gress devoted 10 a consideration OF
the merit system in road manage
ment. The United States civil service
commission was represented by Chief
Examiner George r. Wales, who
pointed out the manifest advantages

REMEDY FOR ERooT POISONING

An unusually large amount of ergot
has made its appearance in rye and
some Of the grasses the past summer.
SO numerous have the inquiries been
concerning the harm resulting from
the use of these ergoted feeds that the
following suggestions are offered by
DR.. Lipp, State College veterinarian:
when fed in considerable quantities
or for long time, ergot frequently
causes chronic poisoning. The symp-

toms of this poisoning are indigestion
nervousness or both. Further, the ac-
ton of the ergot is such as to some
times cause the tips of the ears and
tail, and hoofs to drop off. In poultry
the comb and tongue are oftenest
affected. 1t sometimes causes abor'
ton IN pregnant animals.
There is no treatment. Prevention
consists in avoiding the ergoted feed.
If there is but a small quantity pres
ent, it may do no harm. If in larger
quantity the feed containing it should
be mixed with other feeds known to
contain no ergot. While any feed
known to contain even the smallest

boy hurried back home and told the

the famine in the land was passed

One day after long journey ne was
riding slowly through a wood when he
heard the sweet voice of Katherine

"My love is warm;
My love is true;
Oh, beautiful world,

What is ths?" thought the Prince.
That voice comes from yonder prison

Even as he watched, the rays of the
setting sun fell upon the wall of the
tower, and there appeared bent old
bag at the foot of the wall. Drop me

called with harsh cackle. Down came
the ladder, and the old Witch assembled.

me a ladder and take it up there with
me-" He rod hurriedly away and
soon returned with rope ladder and a
hook with which to fasten it to the
wall. The Witch was just descending.
As soon as she had gone away he went
to the foot of the wall. drop me the
ladder, Queen of the Towerl' he called,
trying to cackle as harshly as the
Witch. Down came the ladder, ard he
hurried up.
Such a beautiful sight met his eyes
that he gasped Then he hurried for
ward to ask the lovely maiden to be
his bride. And Katherine knew him
for her Prince and gave her consent.
But from below there came a harsh
cackle. Drop me the ladder, Queen of

pockets with the seed and took it
home to feed the babies on.
Each day he came and took more
grain and carried it back home, until
he'd laid up quite a store to use in
winter time, when food was scarce.
But one day, walking on the road,
he met little boy, a-crying. cause he
had no food to eat. And when the
small boy saw the mouse, he won

when there was famine in the land,
and little children had no food to eat.
And so he followed mousie home,
