MITCHELL SIX DOES DUTYFOR MOVIE co. Entire Fleet of Automobiles Used by Lubin Arizona
 Company

Night motion photography in the most inaccessible places, those places where artificial light has heretofore been un- known his been made possible by means of an independent, travelling power plant the fruit of fertile brain of Romaine Fielding, erstwhile Lubin star and now feature director of the Lubin Arizona company, with headquarters in Pnoenx Ariz.
 That this portable plant made out of one of FNelding's big Mitchell motor cars, will be found invaluable for field work where it is impractiable to run wires for miles in order to get night photography, is the belief of MT. Fielding. Not only that, but he has completed arrangements to transport his entire company and host of 'properities' to northern Ari- zona. where this fall he expects to stage pictures in the Grand Canyon, and by means of the light from his portable plant, to delve into the depths of the caverns of the great crevass and to utilize for his purpose the dark recesses, caves and trails. canyon has actually been employed as a stage for the pictured drama.
 The outfit, besides providing equipment for running wires, is equipped with a powerful 12-inch navy searchlight of the projector type. This is mounted on the seat beside the driver and may be operated either while the car is moving or stand- ing still. The capacity of the searchlight is 4,500,O00 candle power and when in operation requires p per cent of the full power of the engine.
 The first pig picture in which the plant will be thoroughly tested will be 'The Great Divide.'' This will be one of the biggest features ever attempted. A part of it will be taken ill and around Phoenix and the remainder in the neighborhood of the Grand Canyon, using that wonder full place for backgrounds. It will be a 12-reel drama with Henry Miller and Margaret Anglin in the leading roles. Frances Starr, Blanche Bates. Billy Surke, Frances McHenry, Adelee Blood, Lillian Kemble and others are on the
 st of notables to appear in the Field Ing Iubin pictures
 The entire fleet is composed of Mitchell touring cars and in addition MT. Field ing whiles away his spare hours at the wheel of a Mitchell Six.

Got His Goat

 From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 New York.--Rocco Penna, hotel keeper of 212th street and Holland avenue, Bronx, mourned long and late, for some one got his goat.
 Rocco was giving a goat party-goats are the real delicacy in Little Italy--be- cause of the engagement of his daughter, Marie. The goat was being baked at the bakery of Frank Mappi, on 111th street.
 After several courses of spaghetti, chi anti. macaroni. vermicel1i. tomati and po- tati, Rocco delegated a couple of friends to go get the goat. Mappi was astounded to see them. and told them that Rocco had got his goat some hours before.
 The dinner party adjourned to see Map pi, and 1t looked as if murder would be done till the baker explained that some one purporting to, be from Rocco had taken the goat early in the day.
 There was goat party in the Bronx, but it was not fRocco's. Detectives are looking for the goat-getter thai got the goat party's goat

tuition by wealthy Chinese and urged
 the necessity for immediate medical training for the women of China.
 On behalf of the Methodist Episcopal church, Bishop Lewis accepted the new building and formally dedicated it to the use of the suffering women and children of China.
 The China medical board has already purchased the Union Medical college in Peking, and is directing its work and financing it this year. The school was formerly the property of the London Missionary society and was supported by interdenominational missionary societies of both England and America. The Church of England, Methodists, Presby- terians and Congregationalists, aided in it's work. Under the new ownership the Rockefeller foundation will name seven trustees for the school and six will be named by the missionary societies which founded it. Roger s. Green, former Uni ted States consul general at Hankow. China, is director of the China medical boards work and will live permanently in Picking.
 Missionary Hospitals In addition to taking over the Peking Medical school the Rockefeller foundation has appropriated sl6OO0 this year to the use of the Harvard Medical school at Shanghai and has provided money for several missionary hospitals in other cities of China. It has also appointed six Chinese graduates in medicine to con- tinue their studies here and abroad and has granted fellowships to medical mis- sionaries now engaged in the Chinese field. Ten women are to be sent to the United States immediately to study nurs- ing in approved training schools. and translators are at work putting nurses textbooks into Chinese for the use of native women who are studying in this country
 Last year preliminary survey of the Chinese field was made by commission headed by Dr. Harry Prat Judson of Chicago university, which reported in a. general way on the medical situation in China and strongly advised the Rocke- feller foundation to cooperate as far as possible with the missionary medical ical school and hospitals, no other institu- tions of high grade exist Frequently the missionary work has been handicapped by lack of funds. The medical needs of the Chinese are so great, and their na- tive practitioners so inefficient. that church organizations have been unable to meet the extraordinary demands made upon them.
 Through the original survey the policy of the Rockefeller foundation was out lined in a general way and now Dr. F1ex- ner and Dr. Welch are here representing the foundation for the purpose of advis- ing on the most scientific. manner of ad- vancing medical practice in China. They will remain in China for about six weeks

LITTLE AFFECTED BY WAR
London's WhitechapeI Pursues the
More or Less Even Tenor OF
Its Way.

The wave of war has swept over
London's Whitechapel, but has
changed it very little, says Herman
Sheffauer. Some of the physical
signs and symbols are there-the gar
fish posters, the bronze-brown of khaki.
and the darkened streets that make
London's Ghetto still more Ghetto
like.
Whitechapel is not only in the
East, but of the East. Like Asia that
watched the legions thunder by,
then plunged in thought again" the
East end lifts up its eyes to the troops
of the king, then turns to trade again.
There is always war in Whitechapel
the struggle to survive. To one
fresh from the nervous West end and
the hushed suburbs, the stir-and-bus-
tie of Whitechaped has brave def
ance. It is not only business as usual,
but business as from time immemo'
rial The Whitechapel tenacity has
withstood crises more terrible than
this-and among its own people. Refu
gees grow tough and Indifferent, and
Whitechaped is a retreat for the
worlds Oldest and most numerous
refugees.

Unusual methods are being fol

ture in its attempt to control the
spread of army-worm moths in the
United States. The plan, which en-
braces a close study of the habits of
the insect, is one which requires the
assistance of every person in the east

gists are catching the moths, coloring
one wing of each and then liberating
them in order to determine in what
direction they emigrate, and how
quickly and how far they spread.
Agents at Portsmouth, Va, are stain.

Raseballs Birthday Coming.

The fortieth anniversary of the good,
old National league is to be celebrated
some time next year. The circuit was
organized at the Broadway Central
hotel in New York city in 1875, and
former Governor Bulkeley of Connec-
ticut, who still is living, was its first
president. The present plans are to
fix upon a certain date as anniversary
day and have it celebrated by double
headers in the four cities in which the
National teams will be playing at the
time. There will also be great
gathering of veteran and modern fans
in the metropolis to celebrate the day
and among those who will be invited
to this jollification will be all of the
former presidents and leading base
ball men representing the leagues in
organized ball in the United States and
Canada. What's that? viii there be
a banquet? OF course there will; 9th

Ditferentiating Dirigibles.

The London crowd which gapes
cheerfully at the army airship maneu-
vering over the city always asks itself
whether it is looking at a friendly YES
sci or a Zeppelin. 1t is apparently
ignorant of the difference of design,
and so free from nerves" that the
doubt does not disturb it. Probably
IL a Zeppelin really did come the av-
erage Londoner would crowd up for a
good place to see the bomb dropping.
The instinct for a front seat seems to
be stronger than that of self-preserva-
ton. The Schutte-Lanz airship is not
unlike an ordinary nonrigid airship in
the shape of the balloon. 1t is not
cylindrical, but whale shaped, like a
submarine But in construction it is
like Zeppelin, with rigid aluminium
framework. 1t is evidently considered
a successful type, for Germany has
been building as many of the Schultz
LAM type as Of the Zeppelin. The
name is a compound of the names OF
designer and builder The inventor
was Schultz, and LAM is the name Of
the firm that constructs them.

DOOM FOR DEER AND HARE

determination OF deer and rabbit
in New Jersey is planned by the state
forestry commission as the only ef-
fective means of protecting the state
woodlands against forest fires such
as destroyed nearly 100000 worth OF
property during the first two weeks
of the recent cunning season.
The commission decided to seek the
cooperation of the state fish and game
commission in procuring legislation
revolving the closed season for deer
and rabbit. In the discussion proceed
ing the adoption of this resolution II
was freely admitted that such
course would ultimately result In the
determination of deer and rabbits,
which are now to be found in consid-
cradle numbers in various parts OF the
state.
That the action OF the forestry COM
mission will stir up the opposition Of
most of the 10000 hunters with which
New Jersey is credited seems almost
certain. On the other hand, farmers
who say their crops are destroyed by
deer and rabbits may line up on the
other side and make the fight inter
esting. It is scarcely conceivable that
the fish and game commission, whose
every effort has been directed toward
procuring greater restrictions. will
Join with the forestry board.-TrentoD
