BlRTH OF A NATION

When David w. Griffith started
the outdoor staging of the Civil wor
ana Reconstruction scenes in tbe
Birth of Nation" which will -
SHOWN at the Grand Theatre. he was
confronted with seemingly insupar-
aole difficulties. An area of private
ianu was required about as large 90
the corner of Belgium occupied Inv
the AngIo-French forces. Thousands
Vi caValrymen had to be shown. in
historic raid on the North Caro-
INA clans. Their run was r. no
many many miles of typical southern
sandy roads. Though an acknowl.
edged wizard of the films. Mr. Crif-
nth Is not a war lord" with mower
to commander.
In this emergency. the county an
| thorltles OF the Birth of a Nation nro-
ducing locale were applied to. They
| finally consented to mark off an araa
OF ~ square miles for the use of the
horsemen. Along all the roads with
IN this area, the county commission
ers posted notices forbidding all traf-
Tic on the day of days" Pedestrians
were also warned off. But the roads
themselves did not look southern.
David Griffith handled this difficulty
with the authorities permission
by re-making such of the highways as
would come within the cameras eve.
Many tons of sand and gravel were
spread by gangs of his workmen.
Landscape engineering changed the
look of the landscape to the rounded
hills, piny woods and deep gullies of
old North State. The race of the
| northern clansmen to rescue their
South Carolina brethren took place
on the appointed day, without an ac-
cident or flaw. After it was over,
Mr.. Griffith's men scraped the sand
off the macadam roads, took down
the signs and life in the sleepy
countryside resumed it's norm al
course. 1t cost about $4,000 to do
the trick-the producer thinks it was
worth all it cost, particularly after
hearing the enthusiastic comments of
the Birth of Nation patrons on his
work.

INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY
is POPULAR FIELD

Prof. C. G. Todd, acting head of
the department of Chemistry at the
State College of Washington reports
the number of inquiries sent in by
prospective students in chemistry and
chemical engineering to be far in ex-
cess of those received last year at this
time. and a record enrolment prac-
tically assured.
The people at large seem to be re-
cognizing the multiplicity of oppor-
tunities for men trained to work in
the field of industrial chemistry
a lesson driven home by the scarcity
of all kinds of synthetic drugs and
chemicals which followed the break
ing out of the European war.

Unemployment and how TO remedy It
wifi he one of the subjects considered by

other pans have been suggested. in
cluding the establishment of a bureau
to deal with unemployment.
Secretary of Labor Wilson favors the
plan to clothe his department with au-
thoritv to take hold and try to find Jobs
for the unemployed.
This plan. from present indication. will
meet with the support OF the House La
Dor Committee. though this cannot be
said with certainty. as 1t "~- not yet
taken 1t UP.
Much to Learn.
Generally speaking. the members Of the
House Labor Committee are favorable
to legislation which will solve the unem-
ployment problem. or make a beginning
But there Is much to learn about 1t, and
that Is reason why tnere Is strong
sentiment for giving the Secretary Of
Labor a good deal of latitude. that he
may evolve an organization which will
actually find men Jobs when they are
out of work.
II is probable the House Labor Com
mittee. which has various important
bills before it, will have hearings later
on of persons who have given thought
to unemployment. Secretary Wilson
himself has had to make a study of 1t.
1t will be recalled that at the time of
the Salem. Mass. fire he took hold Of
the situation there. and. with only a
fund Of $500 available. found places for
most Of the men thrown out Of work

One Of the men who may be heard is
Walter L. Sears. who was for years
head Of the Massachusetts, State bureau
in charge of unemployment. Mr.. Sears
is credited with having achieved valu-
able results The facts the committee
wants to know go to the practical work.

is recognized that successful scheme
involves a comprehensive and efficient
organization.
II the House Labor Committee reports
in favor of a plan. it Is likely to pass
the House. Chairman "Davy" Lewis. Of
the House Committee. has much in1u-
ence with the House in labor matters.
In the Senate the outcome Is not so

ported to the Senate. 1t will not be easy

FRENCH WOMEN ASK
RETURN OF HUSBANDS
Threaten to Stop Baking for
Government II Spouses Be
Not Taken From Trenches.
Bv WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.

PARIS. Dec q, (by maiD.-The woTn-
en- bakers OF France have Just threaten
ed the government with a strike that
would be unique in the worlds history.
Neither shorter hours nor increased pay
Is demanded All they want is their
husbands, and they insist that unless
those husbands are recalled from the
colors and restored to their bake ovens.
they will quit and starve the government
into acquiescence.
The ultimatum OF the women bakers
of France has Just been delivered to the
government by a committee headed by
Madame Preleux. OF Arcueil- -Cachan.
president Of the Lgue des Bouglaneres.
or women bakers union. She supple
mented the complaint with $500 letters
from women bakers who declare they
can no longer face their present trials
without the aid of their husbands.
Homemade bread is unknown in
France. The business of baking Is ex-
tensive and all essential. Nine out OF
ten small businesses are jointly con-
Quoted by husband and wife, and the
occupation of baker Is one that lends
itself peculiarly to this arrangement.
Wives Replace Soldier Husbands.
With the call to the colors of all tho
took up the businesses. Baking was
one OF the Industries unaffected by the
war. If anything. 1t increased. as much
Of the population has been reduced
to the consumption of bread as the
principal article OF diet.
The women were obliged to bake the
bread and deliver II to an entire COM
munity. After fifteen months of such
trials. they declare they can endure II
no longer.
The decision of the women was made
after they had outlined a plan showing
how 1t could be done in accordance
with patriotism and forethought for
the army. Their resolutions declared
that the army, above all, must have
the best bread possible. Flour of the
highest quality, they admit, Is pro-
vided by the government, but a waste
of this and a defective bread, they
say, come from the employment as
army bakers OF non-professionals. They
insist that the government supplant
the latter with professionals first by
calling out of the regiments profess
sional bakers serving in the line. and
secondly, by calling to the colors bak
ers who for one reason or another have
| escaped military service, of whom there
are sufficient, they say, to provide the
army with all the professional bakers
| necessary. while their own husbands
| serving at the front could come home
and resume the work of supplying the
