Secrets of the Moving Picture

1t takes certain amount of time to effect
the eye. You do not see things instantan-
eously. If you move lighted cigar in a
dark room very rapidly you see what is ap-
parently continuous curve of light.
The motion pictures reproduce move
ments faithfully for the same reason. Before
the eye has chance to see picture in its
entirety a new picture is flashed on the
screen. The pictures appea and vanish at
the rate of sixteen second, in other words,
so rapidly that the effect of continuous
motion is produced. Advantage is taken
of this to produce very curious and unnatu-
raj effects; for example, an old building
tearing itself down, hole digging itself in
the ground, skyscraper growing up from
a foundation without the aid of human
hands. The camera operator has simply
taken a picture of the demolition of the old
building and the construction of the sky
scraper at the rate of perhaps one an hour,
but projects them all in twenty minutes.

With Efficiency Goes
Responsibility

We are living in an age of efficiency in
every walk of life. From the ST., 900, 900
year president of a corporation down the
scale to the common laborer the demand of
the employer is for efficiency; in our
churches and our schools the cry is for
efficiency; in our governmental offices and
our public institutions the order is for
efficiency. Thus has been brought about a
condition that has raised production to a
higher and consequently more economical
standard, but in this race for efficiency,
men are losing sight of, and failing to ex-
ercise, another trait OF our national charac-
ter, that is responsibility.
To-day we have in commercial circles
men who aim to be right, who ought to be
the leaven that brings the mass of people to
the correct view of the things of life, shirk-
ing their responsibility and keeping silent
when they should stand out boldly and de-
clare what their views are, no matter whom
it may hurt. This canker of Sinking
responsibility is eating the vitals of the
nation. You can find the preacher playing
policy and Sinking his responsibility; you
can note the schoolmaster passively agree-
ing with things that are wrong and avoid
ing his responsibility; you can find the
business man for fear of loss of dollar
keeping silent about things he ought to
condemn, thus evading his responsibility.
And so you can go on including the
banker, the master machanic, the trades
man, and in almost every walk of life do
you find men who pirate about efficiency
and then shut their eyes to responsibility.
The need of this nation to day from the
coast of Main to that of California is for
men who will boldly accept the response
bility of life, who with their faces toward
the rising sun will declare for those policies
or enterprises or laws that they know to be
right whether it incurs the displeasure of
few or not.
The United States to-day needs men, not
merely passive citizens, but aggressive men
who are willing to seek out the right and
to accept the responsibility of showing their
fellow men right. Efficiency and response
bility must 60 hand in hand and the sooner
each one of us takes this thought to heart
the sooner will we be doing our share to
make this great nation more powerful and
more influential.-Grand Junction Daily
News.

Laying Foundation for Noble
Character

Evil is the natural result of wrong think
ing. Constantly thinking and forever
bringing to the fore evil thoughts results in
a short time in evil habits.
Habits are formed by repeatedly think
ing the same ideas a certain length of
time, until fixed attention is not required
This creates in the brain what we NAV call
habit groove. Thus, corresponding
thoughts that are not inimical to each other
readily fit this groove and the result is that
we mechanically perform without any ex-
ertion of the will.
Ones character will be nodded accord
ing to ones habitual thoughts and one S
countenance is the mirror upon which one S
joy and grief, pleasure and pain, love and
hatred are exhibited. A great many people
estimate all things by exterior signs. By
viewing these on every occasion they ap-
praise, Judge and draw conclusions or at
tributes. Upon meeting strangers one will
say: "This man has an honest look" or
''He has forbidding countenance." The
physician pays more attention to the
patients features than to the verbal reports
received as to his condition.
Destructive to character and opposed to
purity, cleanliness and personal dignity is
the loss of faith in ones own resolutions
because of frequent determinations to do
that which is never DONE
By correct thinking one can become
transformed and influenced, regain ones
self-respect and honor. Alone in ones
room one can still blush or ones pulse still
quicken over the fond remembrance of
some noble deed or thought. In that case
one still has the foundation upon which to
build a noble character.-Max Kirschen-
baum, Milwaukee, Wis.

The UnWise Man

The Turks have fable which has large
element of truth in it. AS woman was
walking, man gazed intently at her and
then followed her at respectful distance.
The woman stopped and waited for him.
''Why," she asked, edo you follow me?'
Because" he replied, 81 have fallen in
love with you
''Why so?" returned the woman. "My
sister, who is coming after me, is much
handsomer than /. Go and make love to
her,
The man turned back and saw most
unattractive woman. Greatly displeased he
returned and said: "Why did you tell me
a falsehood?''
"Because you told me one" answered the
woman. "For, if you were in love with
me, why did you look back for another
woman

From our Exchanges
TenaCity And Initiative

Too often we hear pessimistic muttering
relative to the scarcity of opportunities in
comparison to what they were several de-
cades ago.
Opportunities are not lacking. There
are myriads of them lying about awaiting
their development. For the man with
brains, with originality, tenacity of pur-
pose, initiative, and but common edu-
cation there is always open golden OPP
portunity. am sure that it isn't as much
the fear Of lacking opportunities as the fear
of the Hard grind essential to him who
arrives
Sometime ago in conversation with a
fellow, twenty-five years of age, of average
intelligence. capable and fairly educated;
we drifted to the relative worth of various
modes of conducting ones life. He told
me that his chances in business we're very
poor, because there were men in ahead of
Internationally more proficient. And
in the same breath he told me of mis- capa-
bility, discretion and agility in evading the
law after pulling off DEAL He hash t
stopped to consider that those men who are
ahead of him now, were at one time on par
with his present knowledge. It's lack of
will to break from the old and initiative to
break into the new course of life that's hold
ing him back.
A man might change his policy in life
many times, for which he is more or less
criticised. But this vicissitude doesn't by
any means suggest lack of stick-to-it-ive-
ness. Nor does it mean fckleness or a
love for versatility. Many of us are afraid
to change for this very reason.
Haven't you ever noticed a statesman, a
diplomat or politician of any grade at some
time or other change his policy? In some
cases it is inherent partisanship. But those
who are less bigoted, those who work for
the good of The proletariat have recourse to
mutation, because as they go onward in
their several careers they learn the necessi-
ties and wants of their constituents. So
with us, do not fear criticism. When you
are criticised you can rest assured that you
are accomplishing something. If youhave
an idea and think you are right, stick to it.

The Battle in Your Head

Did you ever know that you are waging a
battle in your head? There are two forces
inside your head in hostile line of battle
One force is for you and one against you.
One side is in favor of you living lazy life
and the other is strenuously struggling to
urge you on to useful life. One is always
driving you ahead to do things, and the
other is always holding you back. One is
ever inspiring you with good thoughts, and
the other is just as actively putting evil
thoughts in your mind.
One force is for your uplift, and the other
is striving to drag you down. One force
calls to you to do your own thinking, and
the other tells you it is easier to let someone
else do your thinking for you. One stimu-
lates you forward toward success and the
other recklessly advises you to drift toward
failure.
Every minute the contest goes on-this
battle of thoughts. Every decision you
make proclaims victory for one side or the
other. If you do good days work it
strengthens the army of the good thoughts.
If you do slpshod task the army of the
good thoughts falls back discouraged Every
good book you read throws into your mind
reinforcements for the good side and bad
reading weakens the resistance of those who
wish you we'll.
These two sets of thoughts are the two
sides of your character. One set is COM
posed of your friends-the other of your
enemies. One would save you, the other
destroy you. One is in favor of thrift; the
other advocates waste. One sternly bids you
be honest; the other cunningly points out
methods by which you can deceive.
1t is the duty of your days and nights to
help the uplft thoughts win. You can only
do this by thinking by every day, every
hour, every minute, welcoming an invasion
of uplift ideas. You must obtain an over
powering supply from somewhere, of strong
and fine thoughts, SO that evil thoughts,
may de conquered decisively in every battle.
When you have learned where to find
your thoughts-or to get the truth on all
your problems, which is the basis of all good
thoughts-you will then begin to uplift
yourself in the world. And you can find
truth, and helpfulness, and hopefulness
everywhere. You must find them, for you
must dominate your own life and you must
not be the slave of your worst self, then
from the victory of your better self can only
come that happiness which is the chief OBJ
iect of your being alive!-New Ideas.
