THE LIBERTY MOTOR

Since the beginning of the war many improvements have been made in air craft construction and probably add of
 them will be permanent unless here after inventive genius is able to fur nish something better. But the belief prevails that there still remains one important accessory for successful commercial employment of the air planes and also for increasing of the safety of it and that is the lubrica- ton of the machinery The suspicion is strong that some of the accidents that have occurred have been due to inadequate lubrication\ In fact that belief seems justified because the Gov- ernment in Washington year ago ur- dertook to provide a sufficient amount of castor oil with which to lubricats the airplanes. asserting that this vege- table oil possessed lubricating qual.- ties which the mineral oil did not have. Therefore the government caused agents to be sent to the south for the purpose of persuading planters there, especially in Florida and Texas. to cultivate many thousand acres to the castor bean. This appeal met with excellent response. Some of the or ange planters in Florida began the cultivation of the castor bean upon large scale. The government provided
 seed. About one-third of the seed that were planted came from Mexico, the rest were imported from the East Indies. What was the astonishment of the planters to learn when the seed germinated and the vines appeared and
 harvesting began that the Mexican seed furnished far better plants than did the Bombay seed Tn fact this far eastern seed was discovered to be practically worthless. Whether the ex- pertinent is to be tried again this year or not none of the planters seem to know. But the amount of castor oil , that is obtained from the Mexican seed plants was utterly inadequate to meet l the needs of American airplanes.
 England. however. did use and is
 now using an American formula for lubricating her airplanes and appar- ently with great success. When the
 perfect lubricant is provided and some of the best authoritiest believe that if is now made in the United States, then l in all proba bility every detail neces- sary for the successful operation of the airplane will have been completed.

Mary Pickford and
Mae Marsh First Choice

"What motion picture actors or
actresses genuinely deserve the title
'star'?"
This was among the queries sub
mitted broadcast to American motion
picture patrons by Mrs. John Francis
Yawger, we'll known clubwoman, act
ing on behalf of the Motion Picture
and Theatrical Cooperative Association.
From the hundreds of answers re-
ceived by Mrs. Yawger it was found
that Mary Pickford came first, with
Mae Marsh second, among galaxy
that included Norma Talmadge, ALA
Nazimova, Elsie Ferguson, Charlie
Chaplin, William Hart, Douglas Fair
banks and a limited few others.
AT the offices of the Cooperative AS
ISOLATION this was considered a beauti-
ful tribute to the work of Miss Marsh,
who has appeared in no new screen
plays since last winter. Many of the
letters contained criticism of the
screen so intelligently expressed that

Monroe Salisbury
Sees Himself as
Others See Hin,

ooh wad some power the giftie ge
US to see oursel's as others see us!"
So wrote Bobby Burns when he saw
naughty old dame who was quite I'M
aware that a coote was parading
around on her bonnet. "And that is the
real reason I went on the SCREEN" said
Monroe Salisbury when some one asked
him how he happened to leave the
spoken for the silent drama
Salisbury was born in Buffalo, N. Y.
and attended private schools along the
Hudson and in Gotham proper until he
was seventeen: then he went through
college in three years and scanned the
horizon for profession. He decided
to take whirl at the footlights. His
whirl was rather more of tornado. for
it carried him to parts in support of
such stars of the speaking stage as
John Drew, Richard Mansfield, Mrs.
Fiske and Nance O'Neill
At that time the motion picture in
dustry was just getting out of its
swaddling clothes. 1t was tolerated by
the speaking stage folks, but was in no
way regarded seriously.
On golden Saturday morning Sails
bury motored to Santa Monica, a beach
near Los Angeles. He strolled up the
Rialto with nothing on his mind but q
Panama and a desire to rest.
Coming down the walk he saw com.
pany OF photo players looking like the
aurora borealis in makeup and costume
With them trudged the director in his
regulation uniform of megaphonc ant
riding brooches. "What spectacle!'
thought Salisbury; "whcn l leave the
theatre | can wear Christian clothes
and revel in the luxury Of clean face
but these poor devils have to parade ur
and down like clowns"
A week later Salisbury was asked te
visit the Lasky studio. He appeared al
the studio and was asked to depict the
role of the District Attorney IN "The
Master Mind"
"Play in motion pictures!" Salisbury
Salisbury met three men with whom he
had played on the speaking stage
After the greeting Salisbury said:
what IN the world are you doins
here-theres nothing out in this coun
try but moving pictures"
"Ihat's it, exactly" answered tho
trio OF celebrities; Eve are going into
pictures"
To see his friends of the speaking
stage eager and ready to work for the
camera gave Salisbury new angle or
the proposition made him by Laskv
When Lasky again called him he &C.
cepted.
Build up the part of the Distric,
Attorney until it is co-starring We.
hicle and III play it," he told the
studio managers.
His Interpretation of this role won
HIM immediate recognition.
