NEW MOTION PICTURES

The rapid growth of the business Of
producing motion pictures has brought
forward new groups of picture makers
TO succeed the older companies and
because of the superiority of their pro-
auctions they have risen to high plains
almost within a few months. A not
able instance is the Metro Pictures
Corporation whose progress in twelve
months has placed it at the very top
as a producer of great photo dramas.
The Metro group includes four great
producing companies, namely, Column
bia, Rolfe Photoplays Inc, Popular
Plays and Players and the Quality Pic
lures Corporation. The Metro dis
tributes the entire picture product of
these companies and their star list in
cludes such notable players as Francis
X. Bushman, Nine. Petrova, Beverly
Bayne, Ethel Barrymore, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sidney Drew, Harold Lockwood, May
Allison, Marguerite Snow, Emily Ste
vens, Viola Dana, Mary Miles Minter,
Edmund Breese, Hamilton Revelle,
Mabel Taliaferro and other distinguish
ed artists. President Richard A. Row.

calling attention of the people to the
urgent need of saving waste paper and
rags. The bulletin reads:
The attention of the Department OF
Commerce is called, by the president
of a large paper manufacturing com
pany, to the fact that there is a serious
shortage of raw material for the man
ufacture of paper, including rags and
old papers. He urges that the depart
ment should make it known that the
collecting and saving of rags and old
papers would greatly better existing
conditions for American manufac-
turers.
Something like $4,000 tons of differ
ent kinds of paper and paper board
are manufactured every day in the
United States and a large proportion
of this, after it has served its purpose.
could be used over again in some class
of paper. A large part of it, however,
is either burned or otherwise wasted.
This, of course, has to be replaced by
new materials. In the early history
Of the paper industry publicity was
given to the Importance of saving rags.
1t is of scarcely less Importance now.
The Department of Commerce is glad
to bring this matter to the attention
of the public in the hope that practical
results may flow from it. A little at
tention to the saving of rags and old
papers will mean genuine relief to our
paper industry and a diminishing drain
upon u sources of supply.

She smiled at memo harm in that:
And smiled back-just tat-for-tat.

The girl for me beyond a doubt
And then the film just faded out.

GERMAN PEACE FEELERs.
Teutons Will Continue Their Efforts
to End European CONGREGATION.

TO E1Q EuIOpeAll Soii'ioS
Berlin, Dec. 16.-Even should the
allies reject Germany's peace pro
posals without an interchange OF
ideas, Germany will continue her Ell
forts to end the confagaration Wnicf
is desolating Europe, according to ar
opinion expressed in high politlca
circles.
The fact that Germany said moth
ing about terms in the proposals Il
held in some quarters as an Intention
al omission, the object being to give
The allies an opportunity to exchange
notes on the subject.
The terms Germany is willing tt
offer are not known to the people, but
from all indications they are believ'
I'd to be moderate.
There is good ground for the BELIEF
that the question Of limiting arma.
nents will enter largely into the con-
5ersations if peace conference car
De brought about. But that is onl.
one of the big problems. Coneisel
hey might be grouped as follows:
l. Restoration of lost territory.
2. Indemnities.
8. Limitations of ornaments.
4. Commercial freedom.
Germany, it is declared, is prepar
I'd to make equal concessions with tn
:llied nations in the matter of dis
ornament. She is especially anxiou:

infant spirit animating the Germa,
