MOTION PICTURE FILMS.
How They Are "Edted" Before They
 Roach the Public Eye.

After a motion ItctuTe film has been developed and printed it is sent to the general manager uc to the director to be edited" Like an authors manu- script in the hands of an editor, it is shortened here and there, the captions altered, some parts entirely "cut' or deleted and the whole finn dressed up to suit the ideas of the men closest in touch with the theatyr going public.
 The editing takes place in the pro. lection room. says tLc Popular Science Monthly. but the alJcgiu--cutting the film and changing iu-iS done in the cutting and assembling room by men who do nothing else. Sometimes the men in the cutting room Ccutters,' in the trade linEol are SO overwhelmed and confused with orders issued by the studio officials that they are con- peIled to ask for additional explana- tions. Needless to say this wastes much time.
 By means of the photograph, how ever. one motion picture company Is eliminating this waste and saving money. As the director watches a pie ture in the projection room he utters his editing orders into the transmitter of a dictatug machine. The film is then sent back to tbe cutting room with the phOuugraph record.

.,l 6e PractiCed Where Water
 Is Not Available.
REQUIRES MUCH PATIENCE.

In Missouri, In Drought of 1si4, UsS of
 Dry Farming Methods by Only Part
 of Farmers Largely Increased Yield
 of Corn Per Acre as Compared With
 That of 1901.
 Washington.-With the burden of supplying the worlds wartime crop facing this country, the committee on statistics and standards of theChamber of Commerce of the United States has called attention to the possibilities of dry farming. Such methods, 1t Is declared. can be made to it the re- ouIrements for raising many of our most important products. Dry farm- ing Is said to be the only form of agrl- culture which can be successfully prac- tIced in any region where water Is not available for irrigation and where rainfall Is not sufficient for humid farming.
 The inherent purpose of dry farming, it Is pointed out, is to conserve mois- ture in the soil until needed for grow ing plants. The dry farmer resorts to methods of timely and proper cultlVa- ton. narrowing, disking and blowing, to increase the penetration or water prevent evaporation and store mots- lure in the soil for the benefit of the plants.
 "Dry farming is not an easy job, nor fs the lot of the farmer in the semi arid regions any happier at times than that of the policemen in the Pirates of Penzanca,'" says Archer Wall Doug las of St. Louis, chairman of the na- tional commerce committee. Tt Is a business requiring much industry pa tience, fortitude and intelligent under standing of the surrounding conditions. Likewise in the beginning it needs some reserve capital against emergen- cies. For there are years when, through weeks, even months, of rainless heat, the sky is as brass and the earth as iron underneath, and rainfall only distant memory.
 "Yet persevered in and intelligently stuck to, 1t Is apt to record 6 success and to furnish a great need for the utilization of the vast area of semi arid country. Once exploited as a panacea, then denounced as a fad, It has at last come into Its own as an tn- telligent scientific form of agriculture, absolutely essential to the development of a large section of our country"
 Of particular interest in meeting war time conditions is the argument that dry farming methods are applicable not only to farming in the semtarid, but likewise humid regions In times Of drought. In Missouri in the drought of 1914 the use of dry farming methods by only a part of the farmers largely increased the yield of corn per acre, as compared with similar conditions In 1901.

Fixing Furnaces Properly
 Will Reduce Coal Cost

A little good judgment mixed with the coal as it goes into the feed door will reduce the cost of heating the house, declares L. NJ. Schindler, col lege of agriculture, University of Wis consln. Furnaces can be fired in such a way that aboHt all of the fuel passes out of the pipe Jr they may be tended so that large percentage of the heat &s utilized.
 When adding fresh coal do not cover the fire completely. Leave a small spot of live coals exposed. Gases which are given off as the green coal becomes heated will then be ignited by the live embers and produce more heat; otherwise they escape through the chimney.
 Keep q deep fire in the frepot. More live coals will then be in contact with the tirepOt and more heat will pass through to the heating chamber. The top of the coal bed should be nearly level with the firing door. Heated gases will then pass over the top of the combustion chamber before they exhaust. Thus d larger quantity of their heat will be given off.
 Watch your draft. Every furnace has conditions all its own, and they must be carefully studied. If the draft is poor window may be opened in the cellar to aid circulation of cold air upward to the fire.

 The steamer Eastland, which turned over in the Chicago river in 1915 with a loss of SIP lives and which is now being rebuilt as a gunboat, will be the flagship. Other vessels in the fleet will be two of the former Spanish gun boats which were captured by Dewey at Manila bay.
