RISK Death TO
MAKE PICTURES
Film shooters" Take All Kinds
of Chances at Their
Work.
ALWAYS IN DANGER
Two Operators Have Narrow Escapes
Photographing Railway Wreck In
Georgia When Engineers
Plans Go Awry.

New York.-Thrilling scenes repro
duced on the moving picture screen al.
ways are obtained at the risk of the
lives Of some daring photographers
who are willing to take all manner of
chances In order to obtain correct eX-
posures. When the people in the the
alter see an engineer jumping from a
locomotive and the speeding engine
plunge to destruction, accompanying
the thrill of excitement that starts
every heart jumping comes the thought
that danger Is over. 1t never occurs
to a single individual that danger has
just begun for the camera man, to-
ward whom that runaway locomotive
is racing at record speed. and that he
may not leave his post until his posi-
ton is rendered absolutely unsafe and
1t is impossible to make more ex-
pOsures.
An indication of the manner In
which producers look at the lives Of
their "film shooters" Is shown In the
fact that every man is insured for
$4,000 before each risky operation.
Usually the insurance is not collected,
but narrow escapes are amOst as nu-
merous as are staged thrillers.
Plans for Wreck Went Awry.
Recently New York house planned
to photograph a thrilling wreck in
Georgia. Photographers were stationed
In relays, some a quarter of a mile
from the wreck location, where the
engineer leaped from the train and
others In close succession so that ev-
cry feature of the racing trains
course might be sought. AT the point
selected for the wreck, box car was
chained to the railroad track, and en-
gineers figured that when the locOmo-
tive struck the obstruction it would
turn, fall down q sharp grade and ex-
plOde. In line with the box car was
a photographer on a 2S-fOot platform
to catch the crash. Down at the base
of the steep embankment was another
in a trench to catch the explosion OF
the engine among the wreckage. But
plans went awry.
When the engine struck the box car,
it did not stop but plOwed through the
mass and the instant the operator near
the track caught his section, he leaped,

Obtains Sweets.

Cold Springs, N. Y.-Arthur Hoag Of
Milan, Duchess county, by a peculiar
coincidence found 60 pounds Of honey

Of his house just as the village sugar

not concerned Just now about the

Last June a swarm Of bees got into
a hole In the side of Mr.. Hoag's house
and nested there until now. Rae Hoag,
his son, decided to investigate. He
routed the bees and seized the store
Of honey, but the bees "counter-attack-
ed" and young Hoag is exhibiting nu-

BOY SCOUT TROOP
ADOPT ORPHAN
Letter from French orphan Mother
Thanks Members of Troop /
for Their Kindness.

The public hears a great. deal about
the good turns Boy Scouts do, but
many of the finer ones are never done
with the idea that they will be ad-
vertised In fact, real Scout does
his good turn as a regular routine and
thinks nothing of it. Troop No. has
gone quite the limit in doing such good
turn and special mention is due it.
Last spring there arose an argu-
ment among the members of the troop
about buying trek cart, very valu-
able and useful piece of troop equip
ment, During the debate one Scout
surprised the rest by getting up and
moving that these were no times to be
spending money on things that could
be done without, that while boys and
girls in France were starving it was
a crime for us to think of spending
money for a trek cart and that we
should adopt French war orphan.
His proposition met with almost
unanimous approval and the troop
adopted a Boy Scout Of France whose
father gave his life that the cause of
liberty and democracy might endure.
Last week the troop received a letter
from the boys mother thanking them
for their kindness. There was .enclos-
ed a picture of the boy.
The letter was in French and is
translated as follows:
Millau, August 30th, 1918.
