Joe August, of the lnce-Triangle staff
of cameramen. has had some narrowing
experiences during his career in the motion
picture studios. but none. he declares. made
his knees tremble more than did hat which
he underwent recently, when he was ON
PEELED to photograph a rattlesnake. The
task was meted out to him during the pro-
|duction of 1.-THE Devils Double the Tri-
|angle-kay Bee play by J.. G. Hawks, in
which William s. Hart j. starred at the
Queen today.
One of the big scenes of this virile wes-
tern drama is that which shows Hart as
."Bowie" Blake, a bad man, in the act of
r~escuing Enid Markey from the imminent
.fangs of a RATHER, and the responsibility
of shooting a close up of the reptile de-
.veloped upon the shoulders of August.
With the aid of some of lnceville's cal
loused cowpunchers-men accustomed to
the handling Of deadly desert creatures
August obtained IA huge snake and pre-
pared to obtain the scene. He constructed
a large cabinet, and in one of it, sides
bored n hole. though which he allowed the
lens Of his camera to protrude. The COW
boys placed the snake on the ground i'm
mediately in front of the lens and ran to
cover, while August made efforts To prod
the reptile into a striking posture by pok-

All War Re|iefIs Centerins In The Red Cross

There is always a loss in the tran~for-
nation of energy, and the problem of
makers Of machines is to produce steam
engines or dynamos or motors that will
convert heat into mechanical motion, me
|chanical motion into electricity, or cleo
tricUy into the movement of wheels with
the irreducible minimum Of loss. And in
tran>lating human effort into concrete ac-
compiishment men are faced with the same
problem. When the European war began
everybody wanted 10 do something-every-
body become physically and mentally ac-
tive. England and France became fur
naces of human endeavor-but all of the
newly aroused energy succeeded, at first.
only in making a few wheels turn fitfully.
when people talk TO America about prof
|iting by the experiences Of England and
France they mean, in large part, that this
country should see the waste of energy
there was abroad, why il was. and what
must be done to prevent it, duplication
here. As the government j. attempting to
bring its military and industrial machinery
to the highest point of efficiency. so are
all of the managers of war work trying "a
obtain the biggest net results from the
productive forces. of the nation. In no
field i this effort more necessary and in
none i the task more difficult than in that
of war relief.
Those concerned with this problem
Though first OF all, and most hopefully. Of
the American Red Gross. Because this
Organization was the official relief agency
of the government, because of the extent
and efficiency of it, already assembled
machinery, the Red Gross was predeStined
to be the controlling factor in relief work
and the center from which all effort should
be co-ordinated and directed.
In attempting to make relief work eff
cient, the executives of the Red Cross
recognized two general divisions. that of
the treatment of wounded soldiers and
sailors and that Of furnishing supplies al
home and abroad. In the first Of these di-
visions the Red Cross was alone and su-

There are many organizations, however.
whose functions though not identical
with those of the Red Cross, overlap them
IN some particulars. The work here l. to
bring such organizations into cooperation
with the Red Gross. and this has been
done with such success 80 far that the of
~iicials believe ii will soon reach com
.p%lction. Effective cooperation was c~tab-
lished. for example, between the Red Cross
and the Governors Home Defense Com
mittees of the different states. Part of
the work of these committees was of Il re-
lief nature. and by means Of interlocking
ub-committeeS and agreements a. to man
the chapters of the Red Gross in
many states have been brought into work
ing harmony with the Governors Commit
tee. MI relief activities being in charge Of
the Red Cross, which has the benefit Of
state support.
The Navy League of the United States
presented another problem, for this body
undertook 10 supply sailors with comforts
and to raise a fund for the support Of the
dependents of sailors. This work was also
Withln the province OF the lied troS>, ana
here again a plan of cooperation was de-
Ivised.
Sc cooperation has been accomplished
or will be accomplished, it is believed, be
tween the Red Cross and all other organi-
cations which will reduce waste TO a mini
mum and promote the maximum Of pro
duction. And. after this, the next step of
the Red Cross was to see 10 it that the
supplies provided met the requirements of
those needing them. With this purpose,
exact specifications of the articles useful
to hospitals, soldiers and sailors were OBJ
tanned from the military. naval and medi-
cal authorizes and distributed throughout
the country.
The problem Of distribution was 4
troublesome one, but, the Red Cross off
cials believe, il has been solved. In this
matter the Red Cross considered Itself
n the neck Of an hour glass through which
M supplies should pass and find their des-
ltination without waste and duplication.

Jupiter Pluvius was outiupitercd at the
Thanhouser studio in Il miniature rendition
of a storm conducted by Director John II.
.OBrien under the auspices of Lloyd Lon
ergan, author of "Mary Lawson's Secret"
in which Charlotte Walker is to star ut the
Dlttmann theatre today.
A ship had TO be sunk in Long Island
Sound in a terrific gale. To work out the
details of the sinking it was decided to
experiment with a miniature ship, having
dolls on the deck. A large tank was filled
with water and dirt piled up at one side to
represent the Connecticut hills. The usual
overhead perforated "rain tank" and an
acroplanc propeller created the driving
tempest and made enormous six-inch
waves.
An unusual lightning effect was obtained
by making tree-likc Sits i'm a half dozen
places on a black backing with a separate
light back of each tree-like slit. This was
an invention Of Mr.. O'Brien and his cam
eraman, III. b. Harris.
