It isn't an easy thing to pick photo play to pieces and learn how effects are obtained. For a beginner it is almost impossible. If the story is good one it sweeps you along and you are bored and don't take the trouble. Let me suggest a way.
 Pick play that is having run at your picture house, and see it. not once, but three or four times on successive days Don't try to analyze it at the first viewing. Just let it get" you. if it can, or bore you if it can't Think it over afterward and remember how 1t affected you at each point in the story This is important because 1t won't affect you the same way again.
 At the second viewing. your real work begins. This is to discover why the picture moved you. just what there was on the screen in the way of action that got across: just how the story tel Ter went about his work; what methods he used to score his points; how he worked up the situations that caught your fancy
 lf,.by the time you have seen the play three times you haven't learned some thingh about the mechanics of the photoplay that you never dreamed of, then you are wasting your time trying to write stories. You haven't the gift.

STATE OFFICIALS
 RALLY TO AID IN
 HIGH PRICE FIGHT

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT. - The governments fight to reduce the cost of living is expected to result in action in many states this week to force boarded food on the market while congress is debating legis- Iation dealing with the question.
 Reports to Attorney General Palmer have indicated instructions to district attorneys to proceed viz orously in the enforcement of the food control law were being obeyed literally. Instances in the seizure of foodstuffs in St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, San Diego and the south, officials here believe, will be multiplied in the next few days. MT. Palmer. directing the campaign from Washington. will go to New York tomorrow to confer with the fair price board for that city.
 Senate and house agriculture committee probably will report this week on amendments to the food control law giving criminal pen- alty which hitherto has been lack ing and expanding the law to cover clothing. Cold storage legislation also may be acted on by the house interstate commerce committee.
 Consideration of requests by sev- eral departments for appropriations to carry on work in reduction of living costs will be inaugurated to- morrow by the house appropriations committee. The senate District ofe Columbia sub committee will con- tinue it's hearing with view to framing model" legislation for reg ulation of prices.
 Closely akin to the consideration of the living cost question will be the hearings to be started tomor- row by the senate interstate com- merce committee on the Kenyon Kendrick bills to license meat pack CTS. W. B. Colver, member of the federal trade commission will be the first witness. Leaders in the industry are expected to be heard next week.

WiII consider Demands

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-Demands of American railroad firemen and hostlers for increased wages and changed working conditions, as out lined in a wage scale adopted today at Cleveland by the general chairmen of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Enginemen. probably will be considered along with the demands of other railroad workers, railroad ad- ministration officials tonight. Director General Hines, although never stating definitely whether the demands would be presented to one of the railroad ad- ministrations boards on wages and working conditions or would be settled by direct negotiations, has said that a wage advance to one class of rail- road workers would force considera- tion of the claims of all the nations two million railroad employees.
 The firemen's request for more pay is the third to be placed before the railroad administration. The request of the shopmen is to be taken up i1n- mediately on return to work of the shopmpen who have been on strike. The trainmen's brotherhood also has a wage increase pending. The conduc- tors have given notice that they would ask for an advance while the engineers have expressed desire for reduction in the cost of living rather than more wages.
 The pending demands would add many million dollars, officials said, to the pay roll of the railroad admfnistra- ton which in it's operation of the rail- roads has met with g steadily growing deficit for several months. Figures on which might be computed what the addition of the firemen's demands of 35 to 65 per cent into the yearly pay roll would mean were not available tonight.

United States with the different me- chanical devices demanded by the fire men.
 Uniform deadhead rules for pay for firemen when travelling from one ter minal to work at another and to be applied to all railroads in this country and Canada, are demanded.
 Another working condition demanded is that on railroad where firemen are required to clean locomotives they shall be relieved of such work and that fire men shall be relieved of removing tools or supplies, loading coal, filling lubri- cators, etc.
 "The firemen on locomotives hand ling the preponderance of traffic will receive under our proposition wage increase of about 50 per cent" said Timothy Shea, acting president of the brotherhood.
 If our full demands are granted 1t will hardly restore pre-war conditions, considering the present purchasing power of the dollar"
 A copy of the wage draft will be sub mitted to Director General of Rail- roads Hines and another copy sent to the board on railroad wages and work ing conditions.

TITLES LOSE THEIR GILT

(Richard Spillane in the Omaha News,
 The war seems to have blighted nothing so much as the marriage bus mess between decayed European gen. tlemen with titles and the daughters of American mushroom millionaires.
 Somehow Q title does not impress people as in former days. More of the gilt has worn off the false and friv- olous- institutions of the world in the last five years than in the previous. five hundred. Kings are no longer high Deuces run wild Men are gauged more by what they are than what their grandfathers or great grandfathers happened to be-
 Nothing brought the American into more contempt with Europe than this shameful traffic in which a woman and a huge fortune not infrequently was given for the privilege of mating with the sprig of titled family
 A decade ago we spoke of monarchs with awe Now, when we refer to one, it is likely to be with familiarity or contempt A king has to watch his step or he will irritate his boss-the common people-and lose his job. Dukes, princes and such have slumped frightfully in world estimation. Think of the Bourbon pretender to the throne" of France. Who read his manifesto of the other day with any respect? Who will mourn if all the titled parasites from kings and queens down to knights and ladies of the bed chamber have to go to work and earn their living or go hungry?
 Five years ago the suggestion of such a5 thing would have been horrible. Not now.
 The war has wrought a mighty change. A wound stripe or shoulder bars as a badge of courage means more. far more, than the sham of a title.
 The world has come to judge men for what they are not what some of their distant foroears happened to be.
 It is well.

The Helvetia Milk COndensing

case in the past they pay the high
est rate for 3k per cent milk that
is paid any place in the state of

1882 per cwt. or at the rate OF a
little more than dollar pound
for butter fat.
The La Junta condensery pays

made by the Helvetia company
means an advance OF nearly one
dollar per hundred in two months,
which will help materially in
keeping the wolves from the dairy
