a NEW FILM FEATURE.
DIR. j. w. Billings, of Union, Invents
Important Adjunct to Movies.

Grinnell, April 10.-A syndicate Of
Grinnell men has been formed to
handle and promote the affairs of the
Descriptive Film Company, which is
to operate patented process worked
out by DR.. J. w. Billings, formerly of
Grinnell and now of Union, Iowa.
1t has as yet no plan for CONNER
.cializing the invention, as so far the
effort has been to perfect it. Now
this task has been perfected, as will
be testified by all those who have
been in the armory and have seen
the exhibitions which have been Civ
en- there by DR.. Billings and his as
sistant, Leroy F. Spurlin, now of
Union, but lately Of Chicago.
In brief, the invention is a device
for using reading matter in company
with moving pictures. 1t so oper-
ates that line of reading constantly
appears under the pictures, making
possible running commentary
which the moving picture scheme as
now devised does not include. 1t
tends toward the development OF the
educational side of the moving pic
ture business and makes it possible
to put on the screen dramas of more
literary merit then at present.
The films can be run continuously
and the changes in reading matter
appear without hitch of any sort.
The captions for the pictures are
printed on celluloid disc which is
operated by electricity in such 4
manner that every time the moving
picture film passes an eyelet placed
there in advance, it released the disc
for one turn and brings new reading
matter before the eye.
This description may not be espe-
cially Illuminating, but the idea
works satisfactorily, it adds to the
pleasure and education of the be-
holder and it seems to the average
man to meet need in the moving
picture business.

BUTTER MANUFACTURES TO BE
REGULATED.
Present Regulation of S21s Per Cent
Fat Works Injustice Con-
SreSsmen Say.

Washington d. c., April 1O.-But-
ter containing so per cent of butter
fat and not more than l 6 per cent of
moisture, with the remaining per
cent of salt, is to be the subject of &
bill soon to be introduced by the
house agricultural committee and
urged to a hasty passage.
The present regulation provides
that the butter fat be 50 p per cent
and not more than Is per cent of
moisture, and the enforcement of the
regulation is in the hands of the in
ternal revenue bureau of the treas
ury department which has Ter
months been assessing heavy penal
| ties Oh butter makers whose product
has exceeded even a fraction the
maximum moisture.
The result has been damaging to a
number of small Iowa creameries,
whose product, due to the inability to
keep absolute correct their scales,
has been seized by the revenue col
lectors and adjudged "adulterated
| by reason OF the presence of small
quantities in excess of the maximum
moisture.
To remedy the existing regula-
tions, large creamery interests have
expressed a desire to make their pro-
duct contain so per cent and no.
more than 16 per cent of water or
moisture, with the remaining per-
centage of salt and coloring, but they
have expressed desire that the ad-
ministration of the regulation lie
with the department of agriculture
This latter provision is said to be
| agreeable to the internal revenue bu-
reau and is not expected to be oppos-
| ed by the present regulators of the
butter business.
Small creameries, especially in the
districts of Congressman Haugen and
Green of Iowa have suffered large
| financial losses by reason of the
strict enforcement of the regulation
by the treasury branch of the gov
eminent, and all of their technical vi
olations have been the result not OF
intentional efforts to evade the law,
but Through slight inaccuracies in
scales, due to the moisture that al
ways is present in small plants.

with the neatness and dispatch Mrs.
Burke shows in car repairing, has
said she will carry fireless cooker
on the running board so that there
shall never be any long waits for
the food.
Mrs. Burke was born in Illinois,
lived in California and Colorado, but
at present makes her home in New

her time in suffrage work, speaking
not only from an automobile, but
from a soap box.
1t was three years ago that Miss
Richardson went from Virginia t.
New York to visit Mrs. Burke. Mrs
Burke, busy with Wall street soal
box speeches, took the southern girl
with her. In short time Miss Rich
ardson was making speeches.
She has been in active suffrage
work ever since, her official position
being an organizing secretary for the
New York City party.
