SIMPLIFIED FILMING

ID II. COCHRANE, vice-president of
IN. the Universal Film Company
says the high cost OF living is nothing
compared with the high cost Of filming,
and he believes that ne has successfully
solved al least part Of the problem.
Mr. Cochrane says: I'VE have de-
cided 70 use the short form Of spell
ing in all titles and in all of our pub
LEFTY matter. In words ending in
'er or re we shall use the forms in
'er.' In words spelled 20 or 'ou' we
shall prefer the forms using the %
In words ending in a silent e, as axe,
develope, etc, we prefer the form
without the e.
Words which end in g or que,
m or 'mme,' etc, shall be used in
their simpler form. In words spelled
with the simple vowel 'e' or 'ae' or
'oe' we shall use the 'e' alone.
Words like draft shall be used in
their simplest form; also words like
pillow. Of preterits in t. or ed like
blest. drest, etc, We shall choose the
shorter forms. In many words which
have two spellings, like bans, dlstll'
whisky, etc, the shorter form always
will be used.
"We shall also use the twelve words
OF the National Education Association,
which are altho, thru, thruout, thoro,
thorofare, thoroly, catalog, decalog,
pedalog, program and prolong.
1.-THE value Of reasonable spelling
in Americanizing the foreign elements
of our population is apparent to all
persons engaged in educational work,
for the chief impediment in the way
of an adult foreigners learning Eng
lish is its irregular and inconsistent
spelling. With the best intentions,
his road is blocked at every turn. II
he is expected to absorb tho essentials
of American citizenship, he ought to
be able TO read for himself, and he
could do this much more readily and
would succeed much more frequently
if only he were dealing with a Ian
guage whose spelling is rational-as
sensible, at least, as his mother
tongue seems to him.
In addition to the simplied forms
of spelling the Universal titles will
henceforth refer to the President
merely as Wilson, the Secretary Of
War as Baker, and the Secretary Of
State as Lansing, and so on. The
United States will be L. Sand all
of this. Mr.. Cochrane says, will mean
a saving OF 1862, 900 feet of film an
MISUNDERSTANDING $750,O0O (sic).
1t sounds like a great deal OF
money, but the Universal company be-
lieves that it is a conservative esti-
mate.

lips has started the ball a-rolling by
appearing in conjunction with his
photo-pley, "The Royal Pauper," and
explaining TO the audience just how
he came to write it. It is not every
playwright who can furnish an alibi.
Prizma, producer of colored pict-
ures which rival Natures handiwork,
has declared that it will not be long
before photo-dramas will be produced
with the same process. The pictures
which Prizma has so far shown are
wonderful bits of nature, but 1t has
been stated that the process OF pro-
ducing colors on the screen is by al
ternating red and green screens, SIX
teen to the second, and any extremely
quick action separates the white light
into its primary colors. Thus, if a
horse switches his tail, he leaves be-
hind him a rainbow.

MANY INDIAN MOUNDS FOUND
Nearly $50 Earthworks Have Been
Discovered Near the Shores Of
Green Lake in Wisconsin.

A total of 147 Indian earthworks
have been found near the shores or
Green Lake in the Wisconsin county
of the same name, according to the
Wisconsin Archaeological. OF these In
dian remains, GO are cOnicnl mounds,
% are oval mounds, 2S are linear
mounds. % are eftigy bounds and 3
are Enclosures.
Six Wisconsin lakes have many In
dian earthworks on their shores. Men

besa 1874, Wingra 14S. Chetek 100 and
Green Lake 147.
Many old Indian camp sites connect
ed by trails were found near Green
Lake. The most important of these
Indian highways was the Grande
Butte dps Morris trail, which ran from
Green Bay to Portage. In its course il
passed through Oshkosh, Ripon, south
of Green Lake, and II to Fort Win
nebago. 1t later became the military
road from Fort Howard at Green Bay
to Fort Winnebago at Portage.
The Winnebago Indians called Green
law "Ti-cho-ra"-'tira" meaning lake
and "cho" green. The Chippewa In
dams called it ~"Ojawashko Sagaigan'
-"ojawnshko" being the Chippewa
| word for green. Many Indians used

The Lucky Horseshoe.

Writing of the horseshoe ms n safe
guard against witches, John Aubrey,
the famous English antiquary, says
that in the seventeenth century most
of the houses in the West end of Lon
don were protected against witches
and evil spirits by having h~orseshoes
fastened to them in various ways. 1t
was the belief that then no witch or
evil genius could cross the threshold
that was protected by the shoe.
The custom of mailing horseshoes,
for luck. to all kinds of sailing craft
was practiced to protect the lives of
Of sailors down to comparatively re-
rent times. Many people, who hold
to old superstitions. consider il for
tunate to find a horseshoe. the good
luck being increased by the number
of nails attached to the shoe when
1t is picked up. This superstition can
be traced back to about the middle of
the seventeenth century, when it is
lost i'm obscurity.

IF INNER LIFE OF KAISER AND CROWN PRINCE AS


%Sonnenstein! That was a private
lunatic asylum!
In a few moments the kaiser had
summoned. by his private telephone.
Koehler, then chief Of the Berlin Sc
cret police, and given orders that the
princess be watched In Switzerland.
Half an hour later three police agents
were on their way to Zurich to follow
the poor, distracted woman, even be-
yond the confines of the empire.
She was, no doubt, in deadly fear
of being sent to Il living tomb, so that
her mouth should be closed forever.
And seeing herself surrounded by enc
mics and spies on every hand-for
ever her brother Leopold, with whom
she had Travelled to Switzerland, now
refused to assist her-she adopted the
only method of further escape that ut
the IN presented itself.
Alone and without anyone to advise
her, she. as you know, took Il desper-
ate resolve, one alas. fraught with
disastrous consequences.
The iron had indeed entered the
poor princess soul.
