the small figures been employed the
operation would have been simple
but the scenes abound in animated
episodes in which the variety of
characters both large and small
participate. This indicates a de-
gree of mathematical computation
of distances and proportions that
is astounding.
For instance. when the drinker-
man of normal size-in one of
his alterations catches the beasti-
ful girls nimbly dispoytinS them
selves about the edge of his wine
glass. precisely as a man entraps
flies by a sudden swoop of the hand,
the diminutive figures of the girls
are shot" in a variety Of positions
and in all perspectives. Yet the pro-
portion is never lost. Again, when
the man in a deliriUm enters the
neck of a whisky bottle and on
the inside views scenes of devastt
ing torment, these visions that he
sees likewise are in perfect pro-
portion but on a scale representing
only hundredths of the full size Of
the major picture.
1nterminable computation of an
giles, convergences. depressions and
perspectives was necessary to main
tain the same relation as between
the figure of the bibbler, imper-
sonated by Francis Ford, and the
sprites who annoyed his inebriated
hours. 1t reflects great credit upon
the patience and the accuracy Of
the director and the camera men
that the fruits of their protracted
labor represents one of the most
marvellous innovations silent drama
has known.

The Girls in His Glass

The most startling effects that ex-
pert modern photography has sup
piled the screen are revealed in Uni
versaPs forcefuI pnotoplay, The
Craving" which will be shown for
the first three days of next week at
Moore's Garden Theater..
As may be guessed, THE Craving
deals with a subject that has been
made particularly timely by the re-
cent decision on the part of a ma
Jority of the States in the union to
abolish the nationwide traffic in
alcohol. The picture, however, is
not a temperance lecture, nor does
it burden itself and the spectator
with anything approaching the trite
dryness of the usual anti whisky
TRADE. On the contrary, it dis
closes some of the most amazing
scenes that have ever been shown
upon the silver sheet. These were
obtained by a Photographic process
that it required six months of un-
remitting effort to perfect.
The most remarkable flash comes
in the last reel of the subject where
photoplay standards are completely
shattered by the employment of a
OIlt VI lnt 1losl ull-
hcult feats any operator may ever
be called upon to perform. The
more frequent departures from the
conventional in photography are
found in the depictions of the
strange visions contured up by the
feverish brain of the inebriate. He
sees beautiful women in his wine
glass, alluring sirens in the bottle
from which his libations are poured
and finally the lash of drink driving
the victims of a curse to perpetual
torment, their bare skins lacerated
by blows of. the scourge.
1t will be apparent to all who
have dallied even in most amateur
fashion With the intricacies of pho
Biography that the fullsize pictures
of the principal in the narrative
and the diminutive figures that hop
about in drinking glass of normal
size must have been made upon
a minutcly accurate scale, reduced
to most concise mathematical ac-
cuTacy, in order that the visionary
figures of the sirenic girls and the
infinitely larger stature of the tor
mented drinker always might be
in the same proportion.

That Actors Fund Benefit

Much has been said and a great deal
written about the, obligation which
the government and the public should
feel toward the theatrical profession
in view Of the yeoman's service the
theater rendered in all branches Of
activity to which its forces could be
lent during the period of the war
The one conspicuous instance of the
public's opportunity to repay some
thing of the debt it owes which has
been citel recently in Washington is
the Actors Fund Benefit, to be given
in the National Theater tomorrow
afternoon at 1.45. There is much that
is impressive in this argument of recip-
rocal giving to a worthy cause, but,
as matter of fact, what really ought
to appeal most forcibIy to the play
going public is the magnitude and the
quality of the bill to be presented to-
morrow.
The Lambs have at times gamboled
in Washington impressively and the
F'riars on occasion have provided
formidable bills, and once Weber and
Fields brought a Jubilee COMPANY of
distinction to the Capital and pIayed

exhorbitant prices. Tomorrow's pro-
gram, arranged under the personal
direction of Mr.. Daniel Frohman. who
arrived in Washington yesterday, bids
fair to equal, in the diversity of its

names upon its roster and the clever

The advent of Pauline Frederick in
so powerful a photo-drama as Paid
in Full" the dramatic masterpiece by
Eugene Walters, which swept the
country by storm during its produU
ton on the spoken stage, recalls the
fact that long before her appearance
before the camera Pauline Frederick
had attained distinction and fame as
a legitimate stage luminary.
She brought TO the screen a rare
ability for versatile dramatic express
sion, and a review Of the films she
has made for Paramount indicates
that Pauline Frederick has lost none
of the scope and power that has made
her eminently fitted for productions
that are sweeping in their scope.

More Pecans For Christmas

The latest report on pecans shows
the finest crop of record, considering
the United States as whole, the pro-
mise being for 80 per cent, of a full
crop. Last year 27 per cent of a full
crop was realized, An unusual fact
is that this year the promise is from
good to excellent in practically all
portions of the belt. The quality of
nuts is Ss compared to 73 last year.
The development of the pecan in
dustry during the past ten va: l::..s
been remarkable. A ready :::lcI:,,ic :
has developed for the improved
varieties. Vast quantities of pecans
were formerly allowed to waste in
the forests, or were gathered only by
the hogs, but the wild crop is now
much more closely gathered and in
creasing attention is being given to
the native groves. Immense plant
ings of improved pecan trees in the
Southeastern States are coming rapid
ly into bearing, and the orchards that
have been conducted on sound busi-
ness principles are proving a pro-
fitable investment.

MISS LOIS WATKINS
RESIGNS AS AGENT
Anderson Mail.

Anderson Mail. IS.
Miss Lois Watkins for two and a
half years the home demonstration
agent in Anderson county has resign
ed her position as agent of Anderson
county to take a position as District
Home Demonstration Agent of the
Piedmont District of South Carolina.
This comes in way of promo
ton to Miss Watkins, for though she
is in the same kind Of work, her du-
ties are enlarged and are more of an
administrative nature. She still
works under, the Winthrop College
extension department., but instead of
having one county, is district agent
over fifteen counties, including
Anderson, Pickens, .fOconee, Abbe-
vile, Greenville, Greenwood, Nc
Cormick, York, Chester, Cherokee,
Spartanburg, Richland, Newberry,
Union and Laurens.
Miss Watkins does not know def
nitely yet where her headquarters
will be, but thinks that either Ander-
son, Greenville or Spartanburg, or
perhaps Greenwood will be chosen as
one of the most central points in
her district.
Miss Watkins has been in Ander-
son as home demonstration agent
for two and a half years and has
been very successful in this work,
the growth of the work being very
rapid. She has had splendid support
from the people of Anderson county
in this work, and she expresses ap-
probation of this support and states
that it is with great regret that she
leaves the work lin Anderson county,
but that she will still be connected
with Anderson county and will have
bigger and better opportunities for
the advancement of the work.

idem sentire is hard to put into
definite form. The trouble at once
appears of many men of many minds.
If you insist upon your pet doctrine
I will upon mine. This instantly re-
suits either in an irreconcilable diff
ference, or in the very practice of
bartering and swapping to make a
platform, which is so bitterly con-
demned in the old parties. In the
end the ancient round is travelled
again. The new party seeks to be a
catch-all; puts forth no single, clean
cut body of political doctrine; and
asks voters to take the planks that
please them and ignore those they
dislike. Thus the more you create a
new party the more it looks like an
old one.
After thinking alike, if you can
command it, comes action together.
After the ideal aspiration, ways and
means have to be devised. Parties
cannot live on air. They must have
organization and funds. They must
comply with the election laws, which
freely open the door to new parties,
but lay upon them burden Of Sc
curing petitions, and so on. This
means labor and money, And it often
happens that in this necessary pro-
cess of translating ideals into
actualities fervor cools and dis
couragement sets in. Moreover
there is one question that always
arises to hamper the separatists.
Why not induce one of the old par
ties to adopt your ideas? Then We
could work through existing political
machinery instead of having to IT,
vent new.
To this. the history of American
parties gives point. Far from being,
or desiring to be- snug little mono
poles, the two leading parties, how
ever named, have always been alert
to detect new movements and to seek
to annex them. The Populist party
of thirty years ago rose and spread
and became a good deal of a power
=. western states, but then expired,
largely because, as it's own leaders
admitted most of the ideas had been
adopted by Democrats or Republicans
or by both. Demonstrate to any party
manager that there exist a distinct
and growing body of voters ready
to back given idea, and he will i'm
mediately do his best to open his
mind, and that of his party, to a
hospitable reception of that idea
along with the voters behind it.
Anybody can found new party.
But to prevent its being absorbed
by an old one requires political
genius.

CONGRESS TURNS
TO NEWSPAPERS

Washington, Dec. 15.-Provisions
of the Anthony bill which would
limit to "a pages daily newspapers
and periodicals using the second
class mail privilege in order to con-
serve ncwsprint paper were COM
mended and opposed by more than a
score of newspaper and magazine
publishers today before the house
postoffice committee.
Opposition to the measure came
chiefly from the representatives OF
the larger newspapers who declared
that restrictions on the size would do
little TO remedy the situation re-
sulting from the shortage OF paper
and would serve only to work a
great if not fatal hardship on the
large newspapers of the country.
The bill was supported by pub
fishers of small newspapers, who de-
clared they would be forced to sus-
pend publication unless something
were done. In opening the hearing
Representative Anthony CKansas)
author of the bill, declared that
from $500 to 5000 small news
papers face suspension and perhaps
extinction should the present short
age of newsprint paper continue.
The shortage, the Kansas represent
tative charged was due to the actlon
of the great publishing concerns IN
buying up practically the entire
available supply.
Suggestions that an embargo De
placed on coal to Canada until Cana
dian newspapers which he said were
using all the newsprint they desired'
agreed to submit to the same con-
servation program forced on the
newspapers of the United States was
made by H. L. Rogers, business
manager of the Chicago Daily News.
This action could be justified, ne
added, by the fact that Canadian
pulp mill used American coal IN
making their product. The prospective
shortage of print paper for 1920 was
estimated at 10000 tons by Frank
P. Glass, publisher of the BiLrining-
ham, Ala, News and president of the
American Publishers association.
He predicted, however, that relief
from the shortage would come with
in six months. ..
Congress, Mr.. Glass declared
either should give. the federal trade
commission full power to handle the
entire news print paper situation
or should appoint a paper controller
with powers similar to, those OF the
fuel administrator.
