There, back of the chair, stood a splen-
did young giant, feet inches tall.
Then Mr.. Parsons had an idea. "How
would you like to go in motion pict-
ures?" ?" was what he said. The young
giant trembled with JOY and almost cut
the throat Of his client in the chair.
He dropped his razor, seized his coat
and cried, "Give me a chance and watch
mel" The chance came that very after
noon. The embryonic Tarzan was
turned loose in the woods and told to
climb a few California redwoods and
strangle a few lions as demon
stration. He did all of this and more,
so he immediately became the title

The Youngest Ince Exta1t
By Harriette Underhill

Not long ago we were invited to visit
. certain motion picture studio and to
.nend the day there.
We walked in and found ourself in a
sne restful library with real books on
all sides, and some nice comfortable
leather chairs and basket of fruit on
the centre table. There was no one
about, so we sat down in the biggest
chair selected book and an apple and
prepared to spend the day happily.
lust then we caught sight of screen
in the corner At first it appeared to
have Chinese hieroglyphics on it, and
then it turned out to be this instead:
"Please keep off the set" We have
lived in New York long enough to obey
the one which says keep off the
Grass" but "the set" what did that
mean? And if one didn't know what
set was how could one keep off it?
So we settled down to eat our apple
and read our book, and we had gotten
as far as The moving finger writes"
when young man stole upon US un-
awares and said, Beg pardon, a'am,
but they're going to use this set" SO
the mystery was explained. What we
had been sitting in was set, and they
were going 20 use it. SO we crept
silently behind the screen with the
hieroglyphics on it and watched and
listened.
First came tall, handsome, pleas
antly nonchalant young man; then a
middle aged man with a white mus
tache and a middle aged woraan with
gray hair. The old man sat down in
the "set,s the gray haired lady picked
up the basket Of fruit and the young
man stood still on the line where the
green carpet meets the plain board
floor.
At first we thought he was the lead
ing nan, but then we noticed some
thing and we knew he couldn't be.
They never are Now" he said, srnil-
ingly and pleasantly, Tets try it again.
That was splendid, but it might be
possible to improve on it. Do it your
own way and forget everything I've
told you
This sounded like a director-only
did directors ever talk that way7 1t
reminded Us Of the old musical comedy
days and Ned Wayburn-because it |
was so different And then some one
said. CAL right, Mr.. Ince," and we
knew. This was Ralph Ince, Nine.
Olga petrova's new director, and the |
Sc. that we had been sitting in was
designed by Petrova herself, and that !
is why it looked like room that you
could sit down and read in, and not |

And presently Petrova came in, and |
she was in one Of her most fascinating !
moods There are any number of !
Petrovas, but the one we love best is |
the Petrova who bubbles with fun and |
laughs easily and who wears a stunning !
linen riding habit and little brown !
boots and big black bow on the back |
Of her hair

RECORD YEAR FOR CANNING
INDICATED

Reports from manufacturers of
canning supplies who have conform
ed to recommendation of the United
States Department Of Agriculture in
the making of equipment indicate that
the interest in home canning is in
creasing rapidly. There is wide
spread demand for more equipment
that will save labor and time in can
ming. 1t is estimated that there has
been during the year a so per cent
increase in the number Of firms manu-
featuring home canning supplies, an
average increase of 25 per cent in the
quantity of equipment sold, and an
increase Of 800 per cent in the de-
mand for rubbers of standard quail
ity. Some of the departments can
ming instructions have been publish
ed by outside parties in 10 different
languages and more than 100 bust
ness concerns have reprinted the d.
rections for free distribution to their
employees and customers.

Turn Rabbit Pests Into Profit.

Fully 20O,OOO,OOO wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year
according to estimates made by the
Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Many of them are Jack rabbits, the
majority Of which have not been util-
lied in the past. If all the rabbits
killed were consumed, they would rep
resent between 100000 and 100000
tons of valuable food, and if proper
measures were taken to insure the
collection of skins, these alone would
have a value of $20,000,000. The Bi-
illogical Survey has frequently beer
called upon to help western farmers
in coping with the rabbit pest. Ir
view Of the probable economic value
Of rabbit meat and fur in the coming
few years, the energies of the farm
ers and ranchmen will be directed tc
the conservation of this important re
source. Already number of estab
lishments for collecting, dressing
canning, and shipping rabbit meat arc
in operation in western centers. A
in Australia the transition Of the wilc
rabbit in this country from it's status
as pest to a source of profit IS as
sured, it is believed.

Better Yielding Wheat and Oats De-
yeloped

Strains of wheat and oats that are
superior to ordinary varieties have
been developed in cooperative cereal
experiments conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the New York State College Of Ag-
riculture. These experiments have
been in operation for about 10 years.
Many comparative tests conducted IN
various parts of the state show that
the new strains make better yields
than ordinary varieties grown under
the same conditions. With some OF
these strains sufficient seed has been
grown to make possible rather VIDE
distribution in the state, and they are
being grown this year on large acre
ages.
