COUNTY COURT
CONSIDERING
NEW BRIDGES
Temporary Structure at
Rivesville Win Soon Have
to be Replaced.

The county court continued III ses-
sion today and u number OF additional
Hills were approved and ordered paid.
The court has discussed the advisa-
bIiity OF building Gevcral new con-
crete bridges in the county that are
badly needed. Chief of these are the
bridges at Everson and at 1ivesville.
The tcn:roary wooden structure now
at Rivesville cannot last more than a
year longer and it is thought by the
court that It will be cheaper and bet
ter In tile e;id If a permanent concrete
etructure is built to replace it. The
concrete bridge would cost but little
more than steel bridge and II prop
crly constructod would never need any
upkoep expense.
The bridge at Everson Is wanted
where ut present there is no bridge,
although the amount of traffic war
rants one being built. no action has
is yet been taken BY the court as TO
any of these proposed improvements
except to discuss them and to pre-
are approximate estimates of their
probntle cost. Untn the report Of tho
sheriff in July and tho nssesao: the
court will not know whethe: sufficient
funds to build these bridges this year
will he available or not.
The court il still allowing bills for
some of the destitute families OF the
men convicted and sentenced in the
Pennington strike riots. Many of
thse families are partially self support
Ing but there are number OF women
and many small children that must be
partially assisted for time. All
Of the bills contracted in the rrosccu-
;fon of these cases have not yet been
paid.

any of its kindred devices. the posi-
hihties OF visual persistence were
recognized and, in measure en-
ployed, through making a series Of
drawings OF some subject, with a mi
mute and gradual variation of position
rs they followed each other in the Sc
ries. The animated cartoons OF to-
day are made in the same general
manner. s....
What the photographs, taken with
Muybridge's row of cameras, really did
was to bring together two old princi-
pies and open up to them new and
vastly enlarged possibilities. From
this chance union of visual persist
ency" and photography was to be born
the entire motion picture industry in
all its astounding immensely and null
titudinously diverse ramifications.
As | have said, the first thing ne
cessary to gather any practical or COM
mercial 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 cam
era would have to be developed was
obvious. 1t was question of expos
ing one plate, removing it and getting
another before the lens in time for
the next picture, and before the sub
ject had too far advanced from the
position registered in the preceding
photograph.
When we see how simply the thing
is done today we may be inclined to
wonder at the length of time and the
inestimable labor that were necessary
to its perfection. AS matter of fact,
it was the working out of those de-
vices which most pronouncedly con-
tributed to the SIMPLEX y of motion
picture photography now, that occa-
stoned the long research, experiments
and courageous struggles of earlier
explorers in the field.
AS the thing is now done, there is
long, thin, ribbon-like coil Of SEN
sitized celluloid film, which unrolls, to
the turning of a crank, from one pitch
dark box; or magazine into another,
passing in .transit before the cameras

that could make at least passable shift
at getting picture in motion.
But what would the motion picture
manufacturer Of today do if there were
no eelluloid film? Here then looms
up big difficulty. 1t was one of the
many that confronted the pioneers
that first began to labor and expert
ment with the idea engendered by
Muybridges photographs. There was
no celluloid film; everything then
known about photography and the
chemicals necessary to sensitjzing
plates, made such thing seem abso-
lutely impossible. The first manufac-
turer of motion picture cameras had to
rely on heavy and unwieldly glass
plates.

TO SAVE THE KNEES

What woman who likes to do her
own work does not dread the task Of
removing ashes, or wiping up the
floor, simply because it means that
her knees will suffer? If she lets
her brain save her body a bit she
will buy or make herself kneeling
mat At first glance one is apt to
think that praying rug is meant. But
the stamped, imitation leather pads,
Snapped like chair seat, are really
practical to slide over the floor and
will wear well.
A cushion of soft basket weave,
stuffed with wadding, and with two
convenient flaps for pulling about,
is also suggested.
A homemade kneeling pad, which
