Another criticism scornfully
thrown at the serials is 'Improb-

''improbability." One for which
there is no defense and another
which needs none. When a char

Charles W. Goddard, Author Of
mysteries Of Myra" Films,
Discusses Picture Serials.
PUBLIC WANTS ITS THRILLS
Real Life Bores Living II and
Nobody viii Pay to See 1t
Acted.

The reason photoplaywrights put
mysteries and thrills in their work
IN because the public wants them!
. This IL the naive confession OF
Charles w. Goddard. the man who Is
making the Aim version OF The
Mysteries Of Myra," which The
Times is publishing every Sunday as
o serial story. He also wrote the
"Perils Of Pauline" and the Elaine"
series Of mystery photoplays.
Mr.. Goddard also wrote the photo
play version of The Goddess"
which The Times published as
serial story, and has written many
photopiays. As a playwright for the
legitimate stage he is probably best
known for his work In THE Mis-
leading Lady," which he wrote In
collaboration with Paul Dickey.
Altogether II would seem that Mr..
Goddard knows something about writ
Ing plays. and II Is for that reason
that his ideas of why photoplays are
written and produced, as they are
teresting. In discussing the subject
for The Times photoplay department.
Mr.. Goddard advances some original
views. He states:
Ideas of Bright Young Man.
1.-THE other day read an article
by bright young man on how to
write a moving-picture serial. He
knew all about II because he had
lust finished writing his first one.
n This observant young man notices
that serials. up to date. have been
fnIl OF exciting matter. thrills. nys-
-.
stun be tells US is all wrong.
1t Is mighty kind Of this bright
young man to pass out a tip like
that. II true. II Is the greatest
labor-saving discovery since the in
vention Of the steam engine. and
picture writers will now belong to
the leisure class. Thinking UP thrills
and excitemept and warking out mys-
teries certainly do cut into the hours
Of sleep.
This discerning young man is
undoubtedly sincere. He believes the
easy way to write a scenario is the
right way or he wouldn't have risked
an experiment on his first return.
These theories might be as good as
anyone's else. But when he states,
~ q fact. that the public doesn't
want thrills. mystery suspense. etc.
in serials. he's kidding himself'
He is thinking for the public, and
that can't be done

only that we happen to know they

Don't Want Real Life.
They are not true to ordinary life
and that Is just what makes them
such absorbing reading. This brings
up still another foolish criticism
sometimes cast at the picture serial
that II is not true to ordinary life.
OF course II isn't true to ordinary
life. Nobody really wants to see a

OF FROZEN
AND DRIED EGGS
Results of the Department of
AgricuIture's Study of an Inn
pOrtant Industry.

W ARAAAAA6 VIII - ON @EAA 49,
The frozen and dried egg indus
try, declares a new publication o.
the Department Of Agriculture
is a permanent one because i
meets a distinct economic need
Many eggs which could not stanC
long shipments may be preserv
ed as wholesome food by freez
ing them out of the shell or by
drying. In the beginning, how
ever, there was a natural popu
lar prejudice against the bust
ness which was increased by the
ignorance and carelessness Of
some of the pioneers. 1t was un.
der these conditions that the De.
partment of Agriculture under.
took a study of the problem in
order to lay the groundwork fol
scientific preparation Of an ex.
tremely p~erishable product. Some
of the results Of this study have
just been published in a profess
ional paper, Bulletin No, 224, A
Study of the Preparation Of
Frozen and Dried Eggs in the
Producing Section.
The eggs commonly used by
reputable firms for breaking are
small or diversified eggs and dirty
cracked, or shrunken eggs. To
the trade these are known as
seconds" They are not to be
confused with eggs that are I'M
fit for human use, such as the
classes known as black, white,
mixed, and sour rots, green
whites, eggs with stuck yolks,
musty and moldy eggs, blood
rings, etc. These should be re-
jected entirely or else used for
tanning purposes only. Eggs
with a bad odor should be re-
jected absolutely.
Careful Gambling before the
eggs go to the breaking room
is one Of the principal points
upon the Importance of which
the new bulletin insists. Care
full Gambling is not only necessary
to prevent the use Of unfit eggs,
but it will also prevent the waste
of a number of perfectly good
eggs which otherwise might be
rejected. In order to insure that
the eggs are well candled, the
bulletin recommends some sys-
tenn by which the work of in
dividual Gamblers may be check
ed. Eggs that it is found diff
cult to grade should be set
aside by the regular gamblers
for examination by an expert.
Furthermore, the eggs should be
graded again when out of the
shell, for certain kinds of infec-
ton can only be detected when
the eggs have been broken. When
grading eggs out of the shell
only two grades should be rec
ognized-food eggs and tanners
eggs.
While it is desirable, from a
financial standpoint, that the
breakers should work with rap
.idity, too much speed is not to
be desired because of the dan
ger that unfit eggs may be in
.cluded with good ones before
the breaker can detect the diff
ference. When this happens, no
attempt should be made to save
the good eggs. In practice, il
was found that in order to pre-
vent waste and to insure good
grading, no more than three
eggs should be broken into a
cup before it is emptied. 1t was
also found that from twelve to
sixteen a minute is as rapid work
as can be done satisfactorily
Even this is not possible if the
breakers are permitted to talk
or their attention is distracted
from their work in other ways.
The bulletin also discusses in
Some detail the measures nee.

SAYS.U. S. SHOULD GO OUT
OF THE LIQUOR BUSINESS
Excuse Of Liquidation of Civil War
Debt Long Since Passed, Ira
Landrith Tells Voters.

ALTOONA, Pa. November 2.-Liqui,
dation Of the civil war debt, the only
excuse ever given for the federal gov
eminent issuing liquor licenses, long
since has been accomplished, and now
the United States should 60 out of the
drink business. Ira Landrith, the pro-
hibition vice presidential nominee, told
a crowd here today.
You northerners passed this LIQUOR
BILL he said. You did 1t in 1862. We
southerners weren't In Congress then
We can prove an alibi. You said you
wanted to meet the war debt, and you
probably did. And President Lincoln
agreed to the bills passage only with
the understanding that 1t would be re-
pealed when the war was over
The war now has been over more
than fifty years. The debts are paid
We don't need the money any longer
Why. we are SO rich that we contribute
$50.000.000 annually for just plain pork
Yet you keep a white apron on Uncle
Sam and use the American flag to wipe
off dirty bars.
Honestly. now, isn't it about time
to Quit?"
