and it's length reduced by cutting out
every other picture or possibly more.
In this way every other image is elm
mated. Then the remaining pieces of
the film are rejoined, the length of
the Aim being reduced one-half or
more. Thus when thrown upon the
screen at the normal speed OF sixteen
pictures per second. the remaining
pictures travel at twice the speed they
were while being photographed.
An operation of this kind is known
as manipulation OF the Aim" II a
tedious and delicate process and one
which requires the work of an expert
to perform. BY its means. however.
many bewildering effects have been
produced.

When double printing is combined
with the manipulation OF the films It
is possible to produce far more mirth-
provoking and astounding situations

that tend to high velocity of traffic in

The camera is set up in a suitable

film is taken very early in the morn

to see the brick go in place. When
the job was finished il looked like the

The bricks were quickly set and the
whole Job completed In space Of a

This peculiar effect can be produced
by either of two methods. One is TO
turn the handle of the camera very
slowly while shooting the film. and
later when throwing this same picture
on the screen TO rotate the handle OF
the protector at a very high speed.
The result is that the pace of every
moving object in The picture is in
creased many times.
One fault with this system OF op-
Grafton is that there are no contrasts
between frantic movement on the part
OF some and SLOW and natural motion
on the part OF other people in the
scene TO enhance the ludicrous effect.

traffic at its high point. when the
street is crowded with vehicles and
people.
Thus the two photographs show the
stationary objects. such as lamp posts,
shops, buildings. street lamps. etc.
in the same relative positions in each
Aim, with the result that when these
two films are placed one upon another
a single impression of these fixed. in
animate objects is obtained. The sec
ond Aim. of course, is longer than the
first and may by this time reach a
length OF at least ESQ feet or more.
The cutting out process is resorted
to and the Aim drops in length to 125
feet The two films are now the same
length and one is placed on the other
and the positive print taken.
When this picture is thrown upon
the screen for the amusement of an
audience the greater part of the
wheeler traffic is seen to fly along the
highway in mad haste. while here and
there a pedestrian or the driver OF a
horse-drawn vehicle ssunters along in
a leisurely manner.

came here without funds, and had to
exist in the funds which Mr.. Marshall
was kind enough to provide for them

the old antiquated way, merely re-

work was done by a few leaders,
particularly the Americans, most of
the time by Mr.. Marshall. 1t is need

Sorrow marked the closing hour of the last lodge night of the subordinate lodge of odd Fellows, as the announce ment came of the death of Brother Clinton Scott A member of Phoenix Lodge No. 2, for more than a quarter of a century, Brother Scott had con- tributed much for the upbuilding of the lodge. Of all the members of tNz lodge there was none more loved, and in turn there was none who more wholeheartedly was ever ready to do his bit in service for the lodge or for any member. For the past two years, he had been unable to attend the meetings, but never for a moment lost interest and living just across the street from the lodge home, he watched the building growing day by day, with the keenest of interest Brother Scott's life was one of unseifish devotion to his home, his lodge and the community It has been given to but few men 10 gather around him as many friends among all classes without incurring the enmity of any.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.


 NEW YORK. Dec 13.-Although foreign exchange had been moving steadily against the leading countries of issue for several months, it was not until this week that the movement assumed such threatening proportions at this center as to obscure all other developments in the securities market.
 With the British rate at discount of more than 25 per cent, not to men, tion the far greater depreciation in French and Italian remittances, bank CTS and other dealers in exchange be- gan to express grave concern and refer to international bankruptcy as some thing more than an empty phrase
 Considerable difference of opinion prevails among financial experts and economists as to ways and means for overcoming existing conditions.
 All concur, however, that the foreign credit deadlock constitutes a serious menace to this country's plans of world wide trade expansion. There was heavy liquidation during the week of foreign owned American securities. chiefly railroad stocks and bonds. In it's immediate aspects. the railroad situation was further complicated by indications that permanent measures for the return of the transportation systems to private ownership are not likely to be enacted by the end of the year.
 The oCher noteworthy event which helped to bring about the further shrinkage of stock market values was the furry in call money and the greater scarcity of time accommoda tions. This was largely prompted by the federal reserve banks, which made only a moderate advance in interest and re-discount rates. but thereby served notice that the local credit situ- ation. in it's judgment. required further readjustment.
