"The Birth Of Democracy"

The most spectacular sensation Of
filmdom will be presented at Morris
on next Wednesday, Aug. 21st, "The
Birth of Democracy" with Lydia
Borelli and hundreds of star players
assisted by 5000 other characters.
While it is true that a great many
of this number have been used in the
mob scenes and meeting places, etc.,
several hundred artists well known
throughout the world, headed by
Lydia Borelli, have important parts
there.
The company producing the pic
ture would not of been enabled to
complete same were it not for the
fact that some of the somewhat high
priced members of the cast were will
ing to, in some respect, take chance
on the monetary returns that this
picture certainly will get, having
therefore partly speculative inter
est in same.
Any one viewing the picture can
easily recognize that the production
ranks in the class of the Birth of a
Nation The spirit shown by the
producing company, the artists and
all others connected with this NOM
entous effort, deserves the admira-
ton of the American people, and to
a great many in this country the
action of the cast in assisting the
producers in making success of this
picture will call laudatory response
from the people at large.
Considering the masterfully inter
woven dramatic story of powerful
love interest, yet true to history,
considering the enthusiastic collabor-
alton of foremost producers, consid-
ering the spirit of the performers,
the timely and pretentious subject
treated, this unquestionably will
bring this picture in the class of the
spectacular successes of film re-
leases.
At the Strand Theatre, Morris,

also recommend that a program of
work be promoted during the year
by the county officers, such as Sun
day School Tours, Sunday School
Visitation Days, Institutes, Division
al Conferences and Teachers and
Officers Prayer Meetings.
We recommend that each Sunday
School and church in Stevens county
do everything possible to help win
the present world war and we believe
that the idea of the Sunday schools
using their surplus money to buy
War Savings Stamps is a good one
and should be extended to other
schools thruout the county.
We believe it is the duty of every
Sunday school and church worker to
first of all display their loyalty to
Christ and the church, and next their
loyalty to their country, and with
this in mind we recommend that the
Christian people of this county work
for the up-building Of God to a great
er extent this coming year than ever
before, knowing well that the Christ
ian people make the best citizens and
the most loyal citizens to be found
in any country.
We also recommend that the place
or the county convention for next
year be Hancock, and we pledge our
selves to do all in our power to make
the convention next year a success
and will help our sister village in
any way possible.
We thank Mr.. Locker for attend
ing our convention in person and al
so recommend that vote of thanks
be extended to him for all he has
done to make this convention a help
full and instructive one.
The convention next year will be
held at Hancock, the date to be set
later.

Sound and Music

The following article written by
DR.. w. H. Mahaffie of Morris, gives
an explanation of sound and how
sound is made:
Sound is produced by atmospheric
vibrations, varying with the fire.
quency of the vibrations. Sixteen
vibrations per second produces about
the lowest sound the human ear can
hear. Vibrations less frequent than
16 per second comes within the range
of sight and not sound. The highest
sound is produced by about fifty thou
sand vibrations per second, such as
the chirp of the smallest insect. The
force of the sound does not depend
on the frequency of the vibration but
on the intensity of the vibration, as
shown in the gradual diminishing of
"a tone made by striking key on
the piano, the sound gradually dim
inishes but does not lower
mot many sounds are musical.
The crash of train wreck, the blast
of dynamite, the whirr of the saw,
seething of steam, click of the te1e-
graph, and many thousands of other
sounds are not musical at all. Most
of these sounds are discordant and
tend to break each other down. The
tendency of discordance is to end in
silence, Ga moral lesson). q:
''Music is produced by harmonious
sounds, produced by vibrations in
correct mathematical proportions,
also involving rythm, time, quality
and expression. An example of the
mathematical proportions of these
waves is shown as follows: Middle
'C' is produced by 256 vibrations per
second, e. above by $40 and C.
above by 384 and &C. an octave above
by 512, that is to say that while
middle c vibrates times, e will
vibrate 5 and G 6 and G above 8
times, not times per second but
times while G below vibrates times
and e 5 times and so on, that the
chord of c, e, G., and C., will vibrate
together 81 times in a second. These
are called Modal points or waves. To
illustrate further we call attention
to the rapidity with which sound
waves travel. If sound waves travel
about 1880 feet per second, and
middle vibrates 256 times per
second the wave lengths will be 1880
divided by 256 which equals feet
in length the waves of e will equal
feet and G will equal feet and 4
inches and G above will equal 2 feet
and 6 inches. If a violinist stands
on a platform in an auditorium and
plays masterpiece and if the build
ing is built with proper proportions
the sound waves will reverberate and
the modal waves will greatly augment
and improve the tones, hut if the dis
tances are not proportionate the re-
verberating waves will tend to break
or weaken the tones. Architects can
acoustics. When the ella of the
inner ear is moved by the vibration
of sound waves it sends stimulus to
the auditory centre of the brain and
the hearer interprets that stimulus,
therefore the human ear is capable
of interpreting about fifty thousand
different tones. The writer once sat
in a large auditorium and heard a
chorus Of 500 voices and about 100
instruments in the orchestra when
they gave most beautiful rendition
of the Messiah, during which time he
followed any individual voice or in
strument distinctly amid the great
harmonies and overwhelming COM
binations of musical projections.

Conboy Receives Order From
Gem. Crowder; Not Needed
for Rehabilitation

The draft boards of New York, which
have lnducted approximately 100000
men into the military service, have
been instructed so wind up their af-
fairs with dispatch and disband, it
was ANNOUNCED yesterday at the Office
OF Martin Conboy, director of the
Draft for New York Advices were
received from Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder that Secretary Baker had
announced that draft boards will not
participate in the disqualification of
the troops and that the organization
built up during the last eighteen
months will pass out of eXistance
when the recent registrants between
the ages of Is and 36 years are clas-
sized
Although this announcement is keen
to members of advisory boards who
have advocated the use of the draft
machinery for deraob hzation, there is
still hope, they maintain, that Con-
gress will endow the boards with new
powers Another week will conclude
the work and life of the boards, it is
expected.
Orders also have been issuel for the
decentralization of the limited service
men employed at the local boards,
about 200 IN all.
The dissolution Of the boards af-
fects 597 local boA,d members and
more than 1000 employees. They
recorder the registration of more than
100000 New Workers.
The legal and radical advisory
boards, which have tied as courts of
appeal, will also cease 20 exist in
short time. All records of the draft
will be preserved.

DIVISION joined in the counter often
slve IN the Marine salient in the middle
OF the month and fought its way to
the Vesle before it was relieved. On
September 4, it crossed the Vesle with
the French advance.

March said and the department has
received no report Of mistreatment Of
them by the enemy Most of the men
are entering the lines of the American

holds the front line.
