of the cartoonist's pen go through their
amusing stunts on the screen is the sub
ject of an article by Homer Croy in
"Everybody's" for September. He writes:
when an animated series is completed
there are something like 1000 drawings on
calendered paper about the size Of typewriter
sheets, making altogether a pile higher than
mans head. Each sheet is numbered, clear
through the 1000, and then turned over 70
the photographed, who works with his camera
suspended over his drawings instead Of set
on a tripod.
when it is understood how complicated
the process is, and how, even with the most
elaborate backgrounds 1000 drawings are re-
quired to make 500 feet Of film, then one
understands better the difference between an
originating 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 year in
stead of one a week.
"The artist conceives the funny situation,
or possibly only the character, and the ami
mator does the rest. In fact, an artist, after
having conceived the character, often doesn't
know what is being drawn. Bud Fisher has
never been in the studio where his Mutt and
JEFF films are being made. A man whom the
public knows great deal less about gives
US our weekly Mutt and JEFF. lie is Raoul
Barre.
but Mr. Barre doesn't do it sone-nOt at
the rate of 500 feet week. Not by some 4s0-
odd feet. He has sixty artists working for
him, all giving US Mutt and JEFF. One man
may make leg another an arm, and third
coat Mutb and JEFF is the weekly con-
bnation Of the artistic efforts Of sixty

A n INSTRUCTIVE, tersely phrased
n article in "Sinclair's Magazine
for October presents some Costa
Rican facts and comparisons calculated to
add materially to popular understanding
of conditions in that Latin-American
country. The writer says
Costa Rca has been called the 'Swltzer-
land OF America and many parallels could
be cited TO Justify the Characterization. Pos
sibly the chief points Of resemblance be-
tween the two countries are their love OF
peace and the size and beauty Of their do
mains. At the same time, there are essen
tiaI and significant differences that favor
the Central American republic, but, although
Switzerland is known and appreciated by
large percentage OF our citizens, the pre-
vailing conception of Costa Rica is shadowy
and vague.
COSTA Rica has been remarkably free from
the political turmoil that has torn her
neighbors. Dissension over the question OF
sinking the country's identity in Latin
American federation caused a civil war IN
1894. but il lasted about one week and re-
suited in general reconciliation. Twenty
two years afterward Costa Rica was the first

Matters Touching Religion
The River of God
WILLIAM c. ALLEN writes in "The
w Living Church:

With a touch of mysticism and as prsc-
teal thought we may liken the love of God
and the Gospel of Jesus to an unspeaksbly
splendid river. We know how q river origi-
mates and develops. Up in the mountains in
the clear air. where nothing has been dehled
by man, is the source. II is very small at
irst-possiby only tiny rivulet. 1t plunges
and swirls over powders or later through
grassy meadows, its waters ever increasing
in volume until, with magnificent benignity,
it bears great vessels on its bosom and rolls,
a superb smile of Gods strength and good
ness, to the sea"

Those Who Jam in the Clutch

DELIGION is a happy experience:
IN working it out is a painful exper-
ience. Religion is a quick experience:
working it out is slow and toilsome. Re-
ligion is an easy experience; one has only
TO contemplate its realities to feel inspired.
Working out religion is a difficult job
the gods still, as in Hesiod's day, put
steepness and roughness on the hill of
virtue Religion is a certain thing; there
is no risk Of failure to those who indulge
a sedentary faith; but the risks of the road
are great TO those who jam in the clutch

New Feats of Science,
A Remarkable New
Bush Building, on West Forty

,THE Bush Building, on West Forty
second Street, one Of the newest
Of New Yorks skyscrapers, IS
the tallest north Of the Metropolitan Life
Building. at Twenty-thrd Street. The
Bush structure, designed and started be-
fore the coming law prohibiting the erec
ton of a very high building over the full
area of the lot went into effect in New
York City, covers the full 50x9O feet, but
it conforms to the law by the adoption Of
simulated tower construction, similar
TO that of the Singer, Woolworth and Met
ropolitan Life buildings. This construc-
tion permits the recessed elevation and
the decreasing of plan area with height
authorized by the law.
Plan and construction details are out

Shot Each Other to Death.

"A dispatch to the daily papers says
that j. Wheeler Glover Of Morehead
City, aged 50, and Charlie Salter of
Bell Cove, 20 miles from Morehead
City, were found dead Saturday in
the sand hills of Glover's reserve on
Bogue Banks, both having died as a
result of gunshot wounds, each hav-
ing shot the other.
The bodies were Is feet apart, Sal
ter apparently having staggered about
10 feet away before falling, after a
load of No. 8 shot had penetrated his
heart. Glover was shot in the abdo-
men, about two inches above the left
hip.
Glover left Morehead City Friday
noon, telling his wife he would return
at o'clock. Not returning his wife
became alarmed and had a boatman
take her to their lodge on the beach.
put no trace could be found and at
o'clock Saturday morning they re-
turned home. Saturday a searching
party OF 35 men discovered the two
bodies In the position mentioned, the
guns having each been shot one time.
Glover's gun was at his side and Sal
ter.s under him. Glover was very
strict about trespassing on his reserve
and the double tragedy is supposed
to have resulted from Glover's order
ing Salter off his land.
Glover leaves a wife. Sa1ter leaves

GREAT WAR BUSINESS
THROUGH ADVERTISING
Carl a. Tanner Advocates the Use
Of Newspapers as the Best lie
dia fer Merchants and Corpo-
raticns.

Carl A.Tanner. manager Of the Bal
timore branch of the Goodrich Rub
ber company, in recent Interview
had this to say about the value OF
newspaper advertising during wal
time:
"C}ose study of European business
conditions shows that never before in
history have merchants and manufac-
turers so prospered from extensive
advertising in newspapers as during
the present war.
merchants who never before made
use of the columns of the newspapers
have found that advertising is the life
of their business, and it is a free pre-
diction that after the struggle to es-
tablish democracy as the keynote of
model government is at an end an
even greater amount of advertising
will be done. This is something the
American merchant must bear in
mind, for gradually the war will be
brought home to us more acutely.
big corporations have been keen
ly alert to the necessity Of bringing
to the attention of the public the many
commodities they produce and have
found in the newspapers their great
est co-operators in extending adequate
service. Obviously this should be
food for reflection for the merchant
who heretofore has not utilized the
press, which has as big a message
to the consumer in attractive adver-
tising as it has to the reader Of the
news columns.
"1n this respect the words of Harry
G. Selfridge, the former American
merchant, now proprietor of London's
greatest store, carry real weight:
1--WE have done bigger business
during the war than we did before
and chiefly because we have adver-
tised.'"
