A unlaue Metaphor.

A unique paraphrasing Of a time
honored metaphor is recorded in the
Outlook by Mary Dewhurst, reporting
food riots in New York. One of the
hungry women among those who pre-
sented their grievances to the board
of estimate cried out: I'VE come to
you gentlemen here with the beeg
heads and you tell us that there are
no laws to let you help US. You can

Tran Shooting.

Home trap shooting has become al
most as popular as shooting at gun
clubs. and people living in the country
find it a splendid way of entertaining
their friends. They select an open field
for their shooting grounds, and the
equipment consists simply of hand
trap and u barrel of targets. The guests
are invited to bring their guns and am
munition and spend an afternoon In
the country. And. oh. the fun they do
have!
Aside from the destinations Of trap
shooting, one must consider the great
benefit of the sport to women ana
young girls. AS strengthened OF mus
cles and a steadier Of nerves it can
hardly be surpassed. 1t also causes
women to lose all signs Of timidity and
makes them fully competent to take
care Of themselves in all circumstances

OPPORTUNITY TO ENLIST
IN THE L. S. NAVY

MAJOR P. w. Dawson has received
the following letter from A. c. Kali.
of the United States recruiting sta
ton at Seattle:
"Referring to your letter of May
II, 1917, regarding recruiting for
the navy, you are informed that the
navy collier Saturn will be in Alaska
some time in the future, and men can
enlist on board. but it will be neces-
sary for them to make their way to
the port she may be in.
1t is stated that the Saturn will be
at Cordova for some time for the pur-
pose of allowing men to enlist, and
any Valdez citizen desiring to enter
this desirable branch of the service
may do so by applying to the Of
ficer in command on board the YES
sci. Efforts are under way to have
the Saturn visit Valdez for two or
three days to give the young men of
this city chance to enlist. but def
mite reply has not yet been received
to the request.

MOTION PICTURE NOVELTY.
Statues That Are Made to Dance, Act,
Jump and Fight.

The molten uicture folk have hit
upon a novelty called animated sculp-
ture," which means that they take
statues and make them move. The feat
isn't as hard as it seems. although the
work required is much greater than
ORA wing hundreds Of pictures with pen
and ink for movie cartoon.
The figures are first modelled in clay,
then changed TO different poses and
photographed one by one. The photos
are thrown III the screen without a
break, SO that they jump about as If
they were real. The effect is startling
ly realistic and highly amusing. In one
Of the films OILY recently comp!cteI
there are no less than nine figures, all
Of them moving about as if they were
flesh and blood. The rather jerky &C.
ton serves only to enhance the anus
ing result.
To appreciate the amount of work
required in making these new films it
must he remembered that each time
one of the sculpturcd figures moves a
new pose must be made. This means.
in other words, that the camera must
stop until the sculptor goes over each
plastic figure and molds it into the cor
rect position before he can photograph
it. There are sixteen different poses to
a foot Of film. Hence for the ordinary
reel of 1000 feet there are 10000 sepa-
rate poses for each figure. Imagine the
work required when three or more
figures have to be made for each scene!

What 10 Meant by the Term In intsr.
national Politics.
The "open door, Is in international
politics the principle of equal treat
ment in trade with oriental countries
for all trading nations as opposed to
the policy Of effective monopoly in
favor of any one nation.
The phrase came into popular use
toward the end Of the nineteenth CEN
fury. when various European nations
were trying to establish spheres OF
influence" In China.
The United States was opposed to
the granting to any nation OF exclusive
trading privileges in these spheres or
influence" AMI in 1899 John Hay, sec
retary of state, addressed circular
note to the interested powers, asking
them to pledge themselves not to In
terfere with any treaty port or with
any vested interest within their re-
spective spheres Of influence, to en-
gage that discriminating customs and
port duties should not he levied i'll
such spheres and that within any ma,
TONS sphere of influence no higher
railroad charges should be imposed
upon subjects of other nations than
upon subjects Of the nations having
such spheres.
The pledges asked were given in
their entirety by France, Germany
Great Britain, Italy and Japan. Rus
STA reserved the right to levy discrimi'
natory duties.-New York Times.
