atized celluloid film, which unrolls,
to the turning of crank, from one
pitch dark box or magizine into an
other, passing in transit before the
cameras lens, which closes and
shuts sixteen times each second
! provided, of course, the cameraman
turns his crank at regulation Speed
By an automatic arrangement this
celluloid film makes its trip from
| the "uneXposed' magazine into the
exposed" magazine in intermittent
but almost imperceptible jerks. At
! ter each jerk there is the briefest
kind of stop-just long enough to
allow the tiny section of celluloid
then in front of the lens to be ex-
posed. Then the shutter closes the
lens, the exposed section moves ON
into the dark, and, almost more
quickly than thought, the lens is
again open to expose the tiny sec
tion of film Immediately to the pre-
ceding sections rear. When the roll
of celluloid is taken finally from the
exposed" magazine and developed
in the dark room, the result is
strip of innumerable little photo
graphic negatives, one joining imme-
diately behind the other and running
the full length of the celluloid rib
bon. There are sixteen pictures to
each foot of this length and all six
teen have been taken in a seconds
time.
In its more essential features, that
is all there is to it. Given the cellu
loid film, the lens and few tools,
anyone, with the average American
boys ingenuity, could put together
a camera that could make at least
Dassable shift at getting picture in
motion.
But what would the motion pic
.ure manufacturer of today do if
here were no celluloid film? Here
hen looms up big difficulty. 1t
vas one of the many that confront
ID the pioneers that first began to
abor and experiment with the idea
,ngendered by Muybridge's photo
graphs. There was no celluloid
lin; everything then known about
and the chemicals nee
.ssary to sensitizing plates made
uch a thing seem absolutely impos-
ible. The first manufacturer of mo-
ion picture cameras had to rely on
leavy and unwieldly glass plates. {

Hughes Vision
OF America
o2-o4 N. Main St.

81 have a great vision, my fellow
citizen. of America for the future.
1t is not an America torn by disor-
ders; it is not an America ruled now
by this force, now by that force; it is
not an America given over to civil
war; it is not an America where pub
lie office is merely ruled for advan-
tage. It is an America efficient; it
is an America prepared; it is an
America maintaining the rights Of
American people on the land and sea,
without fear or favor, throughout
the world; it is an America that has
no secret understandings, no covert
intrigues; it is an America with no
unstated purposes; it is an America
standing four-square toward all ma
tions, firm and prepared, intent on
peace and demanding its just rights
be recognized as to lives, property
and commerce
"The America that I see in the
future is an America that knows how
to manage its great activities with
out being wastcful and eXtrayagant.
It is an America that knows how to
spend public moneys honestly as we'll
as to appropriate them. 1t is an
America that has patriotism in every
bureau of the administration as well
as in any appropriation for military

"visual persistency," which means
that, from the time he lifted a hooi
until he had again planted it
enough pictures were secured OF
him, while doing it, that when they
were seen one after another in rapid
succession, the very small variation
of the legs position, as registered by
each photograph and the one next
following, deluded the spectator into
believing he had seen the entire step
taken in one continuous and .unbrok-
en- movement
The idea itself, involved in the
principle, was not a new one. In
fact. it is much older than photog-
raphy. Long before there was
camera, or any of its kindred de-
vices, the possibilities of visual per-
sistency" were recognized and, in a
measure, employed through making
a series of drawings Of some sub
ject, with a minute and gradual va
ration of position as they followed
each other in the series. The ami
mated cartoons of today are made in
the same general manner.
What the photographs, taken with
Muybridge's row of cameras, really
did was to bring together two old
principles and open up to them new
and vastly enlarged possibilities.
From this chance union of visual
persistency" and photography was to
he born the entire motion picture
industry in all its astounding i'm
mensity and multitudinously diverse
ramifications.
As | have said, the first thing
necessary to gather any practical or
commercial possibilities from the
idea that has been uncovered to the
world, was to devise one camera that
would do the work of Muybridge's
many. The principle on which such
q camera would have to be devel-
oped was obvious. 1t was ques-
tion of exposing one plate, removing
It and getting another before the
lens in time for the next picture,
and before the subject had too far
advanced from the position regis
tered in the preceding photograph.
When we see how simply the
thing is done today we may be in
clined to wonder at the length Of
time and the inestimable labor that
were necessary to its perfection. As
q matter of fact, it was the working
out of those devices which most pro-
nouncedly contributed to the sim
plicity of motion picture phOtogra-
ply now, that occasioned the long
research, experiments and courage
Gus struggles of earlier explorers in
the field,

PREPAREDNESS BEST ORCHARD
ISTS' PLAN

1t is none too early for the apple
growers to prepare for marketing their
surplus apples. Too often this is put
OFT until the fruit is ripe and falling
from the tree.
The following should be units in the
preparedness program.'
Estimate the amount of surplus fruit
In your own orchard and in the COM
munity.
If the local market is not LARGO
enough to take all the fruit, try to find
other markets.
Order barrels, baskets, or boxes for
the surplus.
Try to form a cooperative fruit SELL
ing association, silimar to livestock
shipping associations.
Such varieties of apples as Duchess,
whitney, Strawberry, Transcendent
and Okabena should be picked before
they become mellow. This means that
everything must be ready to get them
to market before they spoil. The Ag-
ricultural Extension division will
maintain an "apple clearinghouse
again this season. If further Informal
ton is needed regarding the market
ing OF apples, it will be furnished by
the Agricultural Extension division.

At the end Of the month he promised
himself he would quit and go back to

tempered by domesticity.

Sympathy With Sufferers,

Probably nothing is more stimulat-
ing and genuinely tonic to sufferers,
especially those with chronic ailments,
than the feeling that in spite of their
own helplessness they themselves can
still he helpful to others. The Shut-fn
society in this country has made life
more bearable for many persons who
are confined to their rooms or their
houses. Nothing disturbs certain
class Of patients so much as to be con-
stantly in contact with those who are
in good health and strength and whom
they can scarcely help but envy. TO
be brought into touch with those for
whom they themselves can feel is
precious source Of consolation and up
lift. Pity is luxury to be enjoyed,
but no human being likes to be pitied
or to feel that he is an object Of pity.
To be conscious Of some advantage in
ones situation over that of others is of
itself an alienation for many sick
nesses.-Journal American Medical As
