Worlds New Battlefield

From the w OTlQ OullOOh'
 France is trying to win her rood war by cooperative farming.
 In the old days, cooperation, or any other kind of farming, was made more difficulty by the French inheritance laws. which divided and subdivided the lana until it was cut up into tiny strips. Henri, for instance, might own 15 or 20 of these strips, one inherited from his grand father one from his maiden aunt, and so on. The strips might be so far apart that it took him half a day to walk from his orchard to his turnip patch. 50 ne lost a great deal of time.
 Then the system made the use of ma chinery difficult. Henri could not use modern reaper in his quarter-acre whea' field. The result is that many French farmers dig just about as Adam did.
 When the war began tearing down the old landmarks so that Henri could ~no' tell where his field ended and that o' Jacques begun, M. Georges Lecoui'er mayor of Bras, decided that France had farmed long enough on the eVery-niah- for himself principle.
 While his own farm was behind tne l German lines, he travelled about the 1 country urging the farmers to begin CO 1 opertive farming with machinery owned in common The idea proved practicable 1 for Henri finds that the investment Of | few francs In community narrow IS oee l ter than spending half day improvisine one from the crossarms and insulators O

Those Sixteen Year-Old Stars

Linda A. Griffith in Film Fun.
 At the recent meeting of the Motion Picture and Theatrical association in the Hotel Astor, Amelia Bingham relieved herself of pent-up bitterness against the motion picture. One thing she would like particularly to see is the elimination of the inexperienced 16-year-olders who arc foisted upon the public as great actresses and featured as bright and shining stars. ''The youngsters" as Miss Bingham said, do not and should not know how to DOT tray emotion" Not many of them are called upon to portray emotion Tor they are not pretty" when they "emote. And to be pretty" is the ironclad rule of stardom in the movies.
 But as far as the 16-year-old star DOT traying emotion is concerned, none or them attempt it or are allowed to attempt it If there is an emotional scene in the scenario, it is changed; the action Is merely suggested-the scene IS cut just before the climax is reached. When Mary Pickford, who is few years past 16, portrayed Madam Butterfly (which she never should have done), the scene where she stabs herself was changed. Instead of a dramatic "stabbing" scene, Miss Pickford merely walked, back to audience, out to the depths of lake ana drowned herself Drowning in such fash ion does not require the portrayal of deep and tragic feeling Perhaps the board of censors would not allow the stabbing. Who are the 16-year-old stars who DOT tray all this emotion that Miss Bingham auarrels about? Mary Pickford, Margue- rte Clcrcl Con a. ce Ta VI Wv an Martin. Bessie Love, Dorothy Gsh, June Caprice. Mae Marsh-are any of these l6! Many of them look it, but aren't. How ever, no Cue r~a es the f ~0 Fo NH either the genuine or imitation 1e-year-old article. No, nor never will, unless 1t be- comes a national prohibition to view them older The dimes and quarters that pass over the counter tell the story ana no actress remains a star when she ceases to be a paying proposition.

The Moving Picture Face

"If moving picture actor IS called upon to register grief or love. or hap ninessp says Herbert Corey, in Every body's. "he must register exactly, or the screen knows him no more Chap lin's face is so extremely mobile that sthere are moments when it is almost embarrassing to watch him. If friend commits a social blunder. the evidence of the crime appears in MT. Chaplin's automatic eyebrows. Another actor was a star upon the speaking stage when Chaplin was an inconspicuous item on that stages backdrop. He contracted to work for 10 weeks at salary of s10, 900 a week. After the first week he did not work at al. although he continued to draw his salary. His face was not equal to the demands made upon it. He did not film well.
 Tt is this fact that one person films well and that another does not-and in the complementary fact that there is continually growing demand for< the ones that do-that has forced the man agers to pay the extraordinary salaries of today"

HISTORY
 OF EACH COUNTY
 EDUCATORS PLAN
By VIM. l.. GoRMLEY.

Montgomery, october 4-(SpeciaL (-Ed- ucational forces in all of the counties will be organized for the production of his county. The county superintendents of education and members of school boards who will meet at Montgomery October g and 10 will be urged by officials of the Alabama Centennial commission to eff feet this organization in their respective counties and all of the records obtained from the county publications are to be made the basis for an educational his- tory of the state tob published as a part of the work of the centennial com mission.
 Spright Dowell. state superintendent of education, who is a member of the com mission, is giving his active support to the movement for a proper celebration of the enc hundredth anniversary of the admission of Alabama as a state in the federal union and for the production of a more complete history of public edu- cation than has yet been published in this state. He and other members of the commission will bring these subjects to the attention of the superintendents and school board officials while they are in Montgomery next week for conference on the workings of the school code adopt ed at the recent session of the legisla . ture.
 To assemble material for educational history since the establishment of a pub lie school system by the state will be comparatively easy in many of the coun- ties, but the centennial commission de- sires to collect all possible data in regard to the earliest efforts at education in this state and of the men and women who taught in the first schools and colleges as we'll as those who assisted in bringing the system to it's present high state of ef- ficiency.
 There is no more important and inter esting subject for historical record than the evolution of education, in the opinion of the centennial commission, which body is composed largely of educators, and 1t is stated that the collection of this data in the counties will be entrusted to a committee composed of those teachers who are best qualified for the work.

Nay, nay. Pauline, it is a matter of getting out and push! This year some real honest-to-goodness work ought to be done. The government is coming across in good style, has already given the state 432 trucks to bear the brunt of that the buck has been passed to you and me- and the rest of us.
 With the state organized this work would be greatly facilitated It would not only serve that purpose, but as an excellent excuse for certain members to visit our fair city and return in stupe- fled awe at the magnificence of the build ing which houses the state headquarters (the Tutwiler, the souths finest hoteD.
 But really this is a serious matter. The roads in part of Alabama are in such condition that safety belts are being considered as standard equipment for the rear seats on all cars. Of course, good roads are coming. but why not bring them before someone invents some kind of vehicle which will not require a pol ished surface.
 There seems to be a lot of significance about that motto of the club-'Let's Co.," It strikes me that probably the men who said that really meant it. There was once saving which ran: Everything comes to he who waits" The fellow who said this might well have had in mind

LOOSE CAMSHAFT

A loose camshaft is very rarely en- countered, and usually registers dull thump u is very hard to discover, due to the pressure of the valve springs, as this prevents the bearings from showing wear It is sometimes located by ex- cessive rattling of the timing gears, caused by loose bearings, end play or bad fitting bearings or a bent shaft.
 TIMING GEARS
 This is easily distinguished by loue ringing or humming sound, and can cas- fly be determined by sounding the timing gear case with a screw driver or stetho- scope This is generally caused by worn bearings or gears and also by improp- erly meshed gears. It is usually evident after refitting or scraping bearings, since this will change the gear centers.
 IN CONCLUSION
 There are various other possibilities, such as tie rotating parts slightly inter fering with stationery parts; however, these cases are very rare and usually overhauling. The clearance for the crankshaft and connecting rods in n~S- few motors is very small, and care must be used in replacing bolts, oil dippers' etc. Locating motor knocks is quite an art and one can only become efficient through continued practice and absolute concentration while on the hunt, as this develops the sense so that not only are the different knocks easily distinguished, but are also speedily located.

Unlimited Street Car Rides

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 A remarkable experiment in flat rate street car service is being tried in the city of Racine, Wis, having gone into operation on August IS. The system is the simplest possible. For one dollar the passenger buys a pass, good for one week, which gives him and other mem bers of his family the privilege of un- limited riding. Conductors do not punch the cards, nor ask Identification of the
