HOW AN OCEAN LINER
TOSSED ABOUT ON LAND

Did you ever see an ocean liner
as a section Of an ocean liner-tossed
about by storm on dry land? Prob
ably not. The proposition sounds
foolish, doesn't it? Nevertheless, it
has been done-and in this wise:
Certain scenes in the William Far
mum de luxe production, "The Man
Hunter" are laid upon the deck Of a
liner. In pre-war days Frank Lloyd
director of the play, would have en-
gagged a regular ocean-going vessel
for day or two to make these
scenes; but with Uncle Sam taking
over everything that floats, Mr.. Lloyd
was compelled to either build deck
section Of boat himself or leave il
out Of the play. AS it was an essen
tial part of the production he had no
alternative save to erect it. 1t was
a connecting link with scenes IL
had been taken on board the coast
wise vessel The Governor on a trip
from Los Angeles to San Frnaciscc
Many of these scenes on board The
Governor were made in rather rough
weather The vessel pitched and
tosscd-and this brought about the

problem Of making the constructed
deck move. This was done in novel
way; in fact it was a creation of
technical genius and the effect was
there to the limit. 1t was on this
deck constructed on land that Mr..
Farnum had one Of the several fierce
fights in the picture; and while the
fight was in progress 70 men were
engaged in making the deck pitch for
ward and aft and from port to star
board.
Expert Government shop officials
visited the William Fox lot in Holly
wood for the sole purpose of getting
line on the construction of the rock
ing motion for the deck. The scenes
on this deck were taken at night and
a host Of people took part in them.
"The Man Hunter" will be shown
at the Opera House Friday of this
week.

Plant Ifapc Now.

Clemson College. March. l3.-Now
Is the time to plant rape, which can
not be cXcclled as a grazing crop for
hogs. A patch Of rape planted now
will furnish more grazing for hogs
than any crop that can be planted
now. Rapc is also one Of the best
crops that we plant now for giving us
some fine feed for poultry. Rape is a
great egg producer. rape makes an en-
ccllcnt table salad If you haven't
by all means plant some rape. and it
won't be but about six weeks before
YOU Will have something to boil for
dinner.
1t takes rich land for rape so if your
land isn't extra rich, broadcast heavily
some we'll rottcd stable manure. Pre-
pare the ground well, as YOU would
for turnpS, and either SOW broadcast
or plant in rows about IS or 30 inches
apart It you plant in rows YOU will
need about four are five pounds of
seed per acre, and if you plant broad
cast YOU Will need about seven or
eight pounds per acre. Rape can be
planted until the latter part Of March
the sooner the better. Remember.
that the secret in growing good rape
is to have IA we'll prepared seed bed
and have the land broadcastcd heavily
with stable manure.
The cost Of seeding is very cheap as
the seed only cost from l5 to 20 cents
per pound. Plant now it will pay.

Those who are interested in con-

est the following statement in a Wash

AS step toward increasing build
ing activities throughout the country
which is the one immediate hope of
reducing unemployment, tho United
States Railroad Administration will
in few days cut down the freight
rates handling materials, all descrip-
ton, from the present high level to the
prc-war standard. The proposal. put
forward by some Of the leading econ
omics in the country, has met the ap-
proval Of Walker d. Hines, Director
General of Railroads.
The cut will apply to material for
general construction, in the hope that
private interests will seize the oppor-
tunity with the opening of spring to
let contracts generally

Wear Business suits.


Extreme simplicity prevailed. Dip
lomatic dress disappeared with the
diplomacy of the past. Business suits
were worn. The members went about
out of technical points. Plain speak
ing prevailed. Stenographic reports
we're barred to restrain oratory and
to encourage the reticent.
President Wilson presided at all
the meetings, except one. When
some of the members looked far in
to the future he brought them back
to the thing in hand with the re-
mark:
Gentlemen, | have no doubt that
the next generation will be made up
of men as intelligent as you or
and | think we can trust the league
to manage its own affairs~
First Meeting Brief.
The first meeting on February l.,
was very brief The president spoke
few words and presented draft
of the plan, which the commission
ers agreed to use as the basis Of
discussion.
Day after day this was criticized
and amplified, and on February IL,
at the eighth meeting the first read
mig was completed.
Though the project emerged un-
changed in principle many amend
ments we're pending A drafting COM
mittee attended to this, and the
American soldiers who set the type,
corrected the proofs and ran the
press, which turned out the final
draft, will treasure the letter of
thanks which the president sent to
them before he sailed
Dramatic in Simplicity.
The final meeting on February 13
had a dramatic finish in its sim
plicity.
The president was attending a
meeting of the supreme war council
and Lord Robert Cecil presided over
the commission. The remaining arti-
cles were passed fup. At 1928 o'clock
in the evening. Lord Robert read the
twenty-sixth and last article and
quietly remarked:
"Is there any objection to this ar
ticle?"
He waited a moment and added:
IF not, it is adopted Gentlemen
our work is done. The president of
the United States will report our
to the plenary session of
the conference tomorrow.
The commissioners then left the
room.

ITALY HINDERED
BY JUG0-SLAVS

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 25.-That
Italy is anxious to work in harmony
with the allied nations, and her
boundary problems are not of her
own making, but of the Croatian,
Slovenian and Bosnian element in the
new Jugo-Slav nation, are state
ments by Charles Upson Clark, Amer
lean academy in Rome, who speaks
at the City club Wednesday night.
Mr. Clark's father was an old Mil
waukee newspaperman, later ,manag-
ing editor of the Springfield Repub-
lican and for the last 20 years of
his life on the New York Evening
Post. Mr.. Clark has been assistant
professor of Latin, Yale university,
since 1904. He is now touring the
United States, speaking on Italy's
part in the war.
Wrong Impression Given.
"a controlling element in the new
Jugo-Slav nation is trying to give the
impression that Italy is attempting to
keep them off the Adriatic coast y
Mr.. Clark said Nothing could be
farther from the truth. 1t is well for
us to know that the Jugo-Slags were
presented by Italy with a wealth of
Adriatic harbors in the Pact of Lon
don, at time when all the Jugo-
Slavs, except the Serbs, were the bit
terest fighters against the entente.
In the Pact of London, April, 1915,
Italy yielded every Dalmatian harbor
below and including Fiume, except
lara and Sebenico. The harbor Of
Cattaro alone would hold the entire
naval and commercial fleet of the
United States.
Jugo SIavs Antagonistic.
But the Jugo SIavs are made up
of three formerly antagonistic ele-
ments: The Greed orthodox Serbs,
for whom the Italians have the
highest regard; the Mohammedan
and the Roman Catholic
Slovenes and Croats. The Slovenes
and Croats have seized control of
the new Jugo Slavia. For genera
tions they have been the bitterest
enemies of Italy. Until the signing
Of the armistice they were the bit
terest troops in the cause of Aus
Iria. And in the convention in
