WAR COSTS GERMANS
TRADE IN CHEMICALS

Cologne, Feb. 4.--The German exports
of chemical products, in the manufact-
ure OF which that country undoubtedly
led the world, have been virtually en-
tirely cut of since the outbreak Of hos
tilities. Last year they attained the
enormous figure of about s25000O.00
German experts in this trade. how
ever, express no fear as to the future.
They are of opinion that the compe-
tition which has started in other coun-
tries will after the cessation OF the
war only tend to sharpen the edge OF
the inventiveness of German chemists,
who will, they say, be able to make
further chemical discoveries which will
place them in position at least equal
70 that which they have hitherto held.

mammoth indoor circus at the Hippo

its first performance in Atlantic City,
received almost unstlnted praise. The
Times calls it "hne play" and Miss
Barrymore's a superb performance"
The Tribune says: Considered as a
vehicle for Miss Barrymore, 1t is un-
doubtedly the best she has had. 1t gives
her scope for a display of talent as an
emotional actress that none would be-
lieve she possessed, even those of us who
saw her playing in 'Mid-Channel.' Her

out some harsh criticism. 1t seems little

with thrills and in the climax touring
car, containing Ethel Clayton and
chauffeur. dashes halfway across
bridge, smashes through the guard fence
and plunges into a creek some 10 feet
below. Miss Cayton's understudy,
good-looking, well-dressed dummy, en-
acted the final plunge.
To get the right light effect InGe took
his company to the bridge early in the
morning. The car was stationed on the
side of a hill a short distance from the
bridge, ready for the sensational plunge
Ince and his three camera men were at
the far side OF the bridge hunting a
good location for the cameras. Suddenly
some one shouted Look out!" From the
opposite direction and travelling at joy
riding rate of speed came touring car
containing two men and two women. The
Lubinites hustled out of the way The
car shot onto the bridge, skidded ripped
through the guard fence and dropped into
the creek.

scene and greatly to their establishment
found the four people alive. They were
badly bruised and shaken up and one
man had a fractured wrist Inces car
took them to a nearby hospital.

his assistant, as the injured quartet was
driven away, that was exactly what 1
wanted for my scene and they came

Fifteen minutes later the Lubin car
was sent through the bridge and wrecked
in the creek.
