adopted trapshooting as the means Oh
keeping the members enthusiastic
There is nothing like traEsho0t,ng
for good fellowship 1t is a sport that
is wholesome, always in season; a
sport that knows no class distinction
1t is followed by men and women IL
respective of their station in life.
One OF the first automobile clubs to
take up trapshootng was the Park
Automobile Club of Kansas City, Mo.
and this club now has a membership
of 200G interested in trapshooting and
has shooting lodge. Last summer
the Speedway Park Association of
Chicago. H., installed two traps inside

these traps are enjoyed by thousands

MAJOR LEAGUES
 DRAFT SCHEDULE
 FOR THIS YEAR
Season WiII Open April 12 and will Close on October 6-FTatS
 to Join Labor.

Despite threats of the Baseball Players Fraternity to hurl a mon key wrench into the machinery Of organized baseball by calling strike unless demands made upon the magnates are granted, club own CTS in the major leagues are going ahead with plans for the opening of the 1917 season. Announcement was made in New York that tho season will open April 12 and close October in the East and October 2 in the West.
 The schedule committees of tho American and National Leagues be- gan their annual joint meeting in New York. The complete playing charts of the season have not been drafted but the opening and closing dates have been fixed
 A new phase of the threatened strike has developed when it was learned Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of La bor and President David L. Fultz ot the players organization, had been in conference relative to the pro- posed action of the fraternity mem bers, in refusing to sign 1917 base ball contracts until such time as the minor league magnates should grant requests made by the players.

 When asked if the fraternity was member of the labor federation, Gompers replied: Not yet, but

.AR0UT ELLA HAIL

Ella Hall, who has another of her little girl" parts in the current Bluebird release, Her Souls Inspir- ation," was asked the other day to tell something of her mind in the playing of children's parts with such extraordinary fidelity.
 "Why, I don't have any method" she exclaimed in surprise. "When I let my hair down, and put on a short, childish rrock, l just feel as if I were 12 years old People are SO nice about my acting a little girl, and my convincing portrayal of youth, and lovely things like that. But l feel rather ashamed, for really, you know, l don't have to act or portray a child at all, It sounds as if l did all sorts of studying, and made great efforts to be natural in such a role, whereas all l do is just to live il"
 Miss Hall does not call "just liv- ing" a role difficult at all, but many an actor of reputation will envy her the faculty; and there is a wide spread idea in the profession that the ability to live a part is the highest type of acting of all.
 No one who knows her work will be found to say that her gift is lim- ited to the portrayal of juvenile characters. Those who follow her work closely know that Miss Hall is able to give a most convincing and appealing portrayal of old age. She is not yet in her twenties; yet she played an old woman of 60 in a re- cent picture in 9 manner which completely disguised her young grace. Perhaps she Just lived" that, too. Whether the script calls for a little country girl, a waif~ of the streets, a boy, a young mother, or an old woman, Miss Hall brings the same satisfying sense of reality in her work. It is no wonder that her name stands so high on the list of favorites and that her vogue has been growing from month to month.

soon, I expect. While the player organization i8 not yet affiliated with US, I am in full sympathy with their requests and actions and they have my moral support. l am deep ly interested in the welfare of the ball players and they will have my support in any action that they may see fit to take in order to better eX- isting conditions"
 President B. E. Johnson of the American League has aE~.Yed in New York from Chicago. He said he did not care to talk about the players proposed strike, but if it ma tcrialiaed, the American League had enough players under contract to start the season and others would be obtained to i'll any vacancies that might exist
 "I do not think" he gaid, "thc players of the major leagues will carry their contentious SO far as to strike but if they do we will be pre- pared to meet the emergency and will go right on playing baseball as usual. am of the opinion that if the major leagues do strike it will be a violation of the agreement made with the fraternity at Cincinnati several years ago and such action virtually will cancel the compact and absolve the club owners from the terms of that agreement"
 Johnson also said he was not in favor of the plan to divide the pro- cecds of the players share of the worlds series money among any except the competing club players. "To the victors belong the spoils," he said

pear and vanish before the sight of the diGordered mind
 Double exposure" however, has a second significance to camera folk. It consists of the playing by one person of two or more roles in the same scene. Twins and even trip lets might thus be shown all in the same room at the same time. or recent years much has been achieved in this work, and the technical dif- faculties have been solved to a great extent. With one person playing two roles at the same time, care must be taken by the script writer not to bring his dual characters too close together, or to have one cross in front of the other

Many and varied are the forms Of trick photographs" and many tricks also are too complicated for brief description. Nearly all of these are achieved by means of double exposure. While double exposure of film is a delicate proceeding, its usual operation is fairly simple to describe. As the name indicates, part of the film first is exposed and then the film rcwOund back through the camera to it's position at the start of the double exposure.
