SWINS0N RECEIVESPAY:
"RESTRAINING ORDER"
IS ANOTHER FARCE

City Engineer Swinson has re-
ceived the amount of the bill allowed
him by the city council last Monday
night, the sum being $2O95O, the
order for the payment being signed
by Mayor Vandersluis, Attorney
Brown stating the bill was perfectly
legal, despite an attempt by P. J.
Russell to again delay the payment
The next morning after the coun-
ell had allowed the bill Mr.. Russell
wrote to City Clerk Stein and Mayor
Vandersluis regarding the bill, it
being accepted as an official notifica-
tion, but District Judge Stanton, who
issued the injunction holding the
offices of city engineer and street
superintendent could not legally be
held by one man, had nothing to do
with the latest action on the part of
Mr. Russell. and as the communica-
tion was not an act Of any judiciary,
was worthless.

CARTOONS PLAY A
 BIG PART IN FILMS
(Everybody's)


 The elaborate technique required to make the Katzenjamner Kids, Gertie, tho Family Dinosaur, Colonel Heeza Liar and other creations of the car toonistss ren so through their anus ing stunts on the screen makes an interesting story.
 "When an animated series is com pleted there are something like 2,000 drawings on calendered paper about the size of typewriter sheets. Each sheet is numbered, clear through the 2,000, and then turned over to the pho tographer, who works with his camera suspended over his drawings instead Of Set on a tri pod.
 When it is understood how compli- cAtec the process is, and how, even with the most elaborate backgrounds, 2,000 drawings are required to make 500 feet of film, then one understands better the difference between an orig mating and an animating artist and why Bud Fisher never makes a single one of the film cartoons that bear his name. Nor does Rube Goldberg or Tom Powers. If they did, we'd see about six of their films a year instead of one a week.
 The artist conceives the funny sit uation, or possibly only the character, and the animator does the rest. In fact, an artist, after having conceived the character, often doesn't know what is being drawn. But Fisher has never been in the studio where his Mutt and Jeff films are being made. A man whom the public knows a great deal less about gives us our weekly Mutt and Jeff. He is Raoul Barre.
 But MT. Barre doesn't do it alone not at the rate of 800 feet week. Not by some four hundred and eighty odd feet He has sixty artists working for him, all giving us Mutt and Jeff One man may make leg, another an arm, and a third a coat. Mutt and Jeff is the weekly combination of the artistic efforts of sixty people"
