STREET CROWDS IN MOVIES.
Strategy Used to Keep People From
SpoiIina the Effect.

Street crowds are VIGOROUSLY diff
cult to handle for the movies. They
will never do what you want, and even
when you are sneaking them there is
always some smart Aleck In the fore
ground who insists upon looking into
the camera and cracking his foolish
face.
On one occasion DonlOn wished TO
get close up picture Of crowd look
ing skyward. 1t was to be used us II
cut-in for all aerOplane story. To hire
a lot Of extras might have cost cou-
pie of thousand dollars, so he took a
chance of getting what he wanted with
out paying for it. Knowing the psy-
cholOgy of crowds, DonlOn took three
cameras downtown, where he set one
on the sidewalk for the purpose Of TAX
ing closeup profile Of the crowd he
was to assemble, one in a second story
window, shooting straight into the peo-
pies faces and one on top Of the build
ing, also shooting down.
When all was ready Donlon stood In
the middle of the street with mega
phone and began to call directions to
one Ben, who stood on top Of the build
ing. The crowd assembled Immediate
~ and, seeing the cameras, began, as
usual, to rubber right into them. Then
DOnlOn called out:
us Ben ready to jump"
And Ben called back: Just min
ute, Ed. I'm bit nervous. Wait till
that yellow car gets by. l think Ill
try for the top of that big Pasadena
car. It's wider"
Back and forth they called excited
warnings and directions, and the
crowd was right on tiptoes. They
didn't know what was going to happen.
but 1t promised excitement. All this
time the camera men clicked that fool
crowd into celluloid immOrtality.-Rob

THEY WANT STRAIGHT EYES.
30 Natives In Japan Are Rssortins to

the surason's Knife.
You think that 1t is impossible to
mistake japanese OIL account of his
almond eyes. peculiar to the yellow
race. Do not be so sure. for it is quite
likely you are wrong.
OF recent years curious fad has
taken root in Japan. This is nothing
more or less than the alteration. by
the surgeons knife. of the shape Of the
eye, so that in future the Japanese
will not be distinguished as one Of the
almond eyed" races The operation
IL said to be simple and quite pain
less.
The surgeon takes scalpel In his
right hand and. stretching the skin
with the forehnger of his left hand,
makes an incisiOn on the outer point
of the eyelids In straight line for the
barest part Of an inch. The lashes are
then drawn into shape and held firmly
by a piece of chemically prepared
sticking plaster.
The wound needs no further dress
ing. and the subject Of the emperor OF
the Flowery Kingdom goes on about
his business as II nothing had happen
ed In a few days 1t is entirely heal
ed, when the surgeon is visited and re.
quested to remove the plaster. and
with the plaster comes the fee.
The Japanese say that their eastern
not to say Monaghan. appearance is
disadvantage to them in their CONNER
cial and other relations with western
races. Whether this Is SO or not, 1t Is
positive fact that some of the high
est officials in chrysanthemum land
have fallen in with the popular fancy.
and European medical men out there
are making lots of money by the use
Of their scalpels. One authority states
that the mIkado himself has had his
eyes "westernized."

HELPING THE CHILD.
Some Dents For Mothers to Turn
Over In Their Minds.

Some Den'ts For Mothers to Turn
Over In Thsir Minds.
A few dont's might well be conspicu-
ously posted In many a mothers mind.
Don't consider 1t necessary to sys-
tematically underrate your child. Your
adult friends will know you do not
mean 1t, but the child will not, and
probably more characters are weak
ened by the lack of self confidence en-
gendcred by such process than by the
vanity which follows the silly brng-
ging Of overload parents.
Don't think that the moment you are
alone with your boy or girl you must
find fault or endeavor to improve the
occasion by a little moralizing, no mat
ter In how loving spirit. This ID the
hardest of all. for no one is so anxious
to help a child toward perfection as IL
Its parent, yet 1t surely leads to al
avoidance of the moments alone to
gether, which should he times of. hap.

Don't correct the child before others

One reason advanced for the high
cost Of food abroad IL the shortage In
manual labor, Il result Of the war. An
Ingenious method of dispensing with
q large part of this. hitherto consider
ed necessary before the grain in the
field can appear In the form Of bread
upon the table. has been invented In
Italy.
According to Agrtcoltura Toscana
an excellent bread, not only highly
nutritious. but delicious In flavor md
appetixing of taste. is made from
wheat which has never been milled.
1t il important that the grain should
be of good quality and free from for.
eign material. 1t In first carefully
washed and sifted and then placed in
tepid water to soak for period OF
from forty-eight to sixty hours. ac-
cortiing to the degree Of hardness. Al
the end of this time 1t has become
"vitalized''-i. e.. 1t has begun to
terminate, and has therefore become
quite soft and tender and has under.
gone profound chemical notifications.
When the proper degree Of vitaliza-
ton has been attained the grain is
fed directly into knending machine,
where 1t Is triturated and kneaded
till it Is ready to be nodded into, loaves.
II is then allowed to ferment. or rise y
for the proper length Of time. where
upon 1t is placed in the bakers oven.
The bread is gray in color and. being
made of the whole grain, is much rich
er in food value than bread from -four,
containing higher percentage Of min.
eral salts, lecithin and vegetable pep
sin. There is a saving not only I'm
manual labor, but in wastage. 80 that
a given weight of grain yields a con-
siderably larger number of loaves
when unground than when converted
into -four. Another advantage is that
there is less risk Of adulteration than
when -four IL used.
