American moving films are increas-
ing in popularity here Until is
months ago European pictures were
favored by the public which had &C
quired a taste for French and Italian
productions. OF late, however. Amer
lean manufacturers have put their
products to the fore in the republic
ando their films are to be found in
virtually all picture houses, in many
Of them displacing altogether the Eu-
ropean films.
Evidence that the United States
manufacturers intend to expand their
field, here is the fact that within the
past few weeks three Of the leading
companies have established offices in
Mexico City and these in turn have
started branches in Vera Cruz, Guada-
lajara, San Luis Potosi and Monterey
Representatives OF these firms assert
that in a short time Mexico will re-
ceive film releases almost simultan-
eously with the United States This
will be an innovation for heretofore
managers have been content to re-
ceive films many months old and OF

YANKS' RAILWAY
 ASTOUNDS REDS
 AROUND LAPLhND
Bolsheviks Think U. $. En- gineers Lay Tracks With
 Miracle Device.

Soroka, Russian Lapland, June 30, via London, July 2S. - (Corres- pondence Associted Press) forward daily into territory of the BoIsheviki, often under fire, the American railway troops on the Mur- man front in two months transformed seventy-five miles of dynamited and burned bridges and railways, wreck ed and destroyed by retreating Boi- sheViki. into a workable railway which they manned, operated and maintained.
 To these troops the British com mand gives much of the credit of the seventy-ffve mile advance toward Pe- trozavodsk In the contingent were thirty-six officers and 675 men, com rrising the 167th and 168th compan- ies of railway troops as a special battalion under Major E. E. Mac Moreland of Kansas City, and every kind of railroader from a superinten- dent to a section hand.
 The Tanks worked so fast in fact that the Bolsheviki, according to prisoners taken. believed that they had miraculous machines for track laying and adjusta ble bridges which they dropped in as they went along It was all done by a gang under Captain c. J. Jones, of Paterson, N. J., who in Alaskan and Latin-Amer- ican jobs was nicknamed "Hurry-up Jones'" The men worked seventeen hours daily, with the enemy right ahead and the British artillery right behind awaiting construction. There were also battles and skirmishes in many small sidings where on several occasions the constructors and also the trains crews were under fire.
 On May 19, while building a bridge under shrapnel fire. the Tanks were surrounded by Bolsheviki skipping through the woods and dynamitirg the bridge three versts in the rear. On the way back to repair the bridge the Tanks were again attacked at close range. but managed to escape.
 The shop detachment. under Cap tain C. F.. McMillan, of South Amer ica and Panama, formerly from Oma- Ina, had to transform junk pile equip ment into workable rolling stock.

Before the war vodka and beer were made in enormous quantities by big distilleries and breweries scattered throughout Russia. But Russia is so much more primitive than other Flu ropean countries that nearly every home in the country districts was a miniature distillery and brewery. At wedding feasts and for all sorts of merrymakings, most of the liquor served was made at home. This was more true of a scene of the 17th cen tury, as pictured in the painting above, than of the goth, but it is almost as true today. Absolute prohibition would be difficult to enforce in Rus sia in normal times. Every peasant knows how to make for himself drinks that will intoxicate slowly or quickly.
 There is almost nothing that grows that the Russian cannot make into a drink. Poverty has made him experi-

COLLEGE YOUTHS MADE SILK HOSE
 OF WOOD FIBRE
Astonishing Achievements of New York Forestry
 Will Be Shown.

Syracuse, Aug. 23.-"Silk'' stockings made from wood fibre, sawdust, sausage castings and wood flour phon- ograph records will be among the ex- hibits of forest products that will be made by the New York State College of Forestry at the State Fair to be held in this city.
 The forestry display is part of a campaign to educate the people to the necessity of preventing waste of the forest areas of the state.
 The so-called "silk" hose have the appearance of real silk and are of the same texture. Officials say they are much cheaper than the genuine article.
 The biggest revolution in the use of wood, perhaps. is to be found in the substitution of sawdust for sausage castings instead of the old type pro- duced a by-product of the slaugh- ter house. The wood is converted by a chemical process into viscose, nab- ing good substitute, il is said.
 The merry phonograph with it's endless music also comes in for at tention of the college scientists. By making wood flour and compressing it under enormous pressure the wood Is made into a fitting instrument in the process of turning sawdust into music.
 Other articles made from wood are tanbark shingles manufactured from tanbark after it has been used in q tannery, and paper milk bottles also made from wood. Paper bottles, il is said. will greatly decrease the need for glass bottles.
 These unusual commercial articles are made from what was once waste Of the sawmill. and their display is part of the campaign of the New York College of Forestry to show how close utilization of wood will help to cheapen articles of commerce, and at the same time end the enormous waste that has accompanied lum ber- ing operations.

 Poland is famed for the varieties and excellence of it's mead, a com pound of honey and water that is fermented with hops. The best and costliest kind of mead comes from honey gathered from the flowers of a certain tree, honey that is unlike other honey by being almost white and without wax. One part of this is added to three parts of water. To about 163 gallons of the mixture are added 50 pounds of hops- This, after being properly mixed, is put into a cask where it is allowed to ferment for some time. Then it is put into a barrel, placed in a cool cellar, and is not touched for three years. Some times it is even kept longer, for, like wine, it is said to improve with age.

mental and he tries once at least every growing thing on his farm. kummel is made chiefly along the banks of the great VoIga where one of the cOmmonest trees is a dwarf walnut. From the nuts of these trees, the Russians make a liquor that is greatly liked by the people. Some times they enrich it with bitter all monds, roots Of angelica and orange peel.
 In Southern Russia a great deal of wine is made, much of it for homo use. The mest come from the Crimea, but these are so highly regarded that they are made on a commercial scale and exported.
 The ingenuity of the Russians in making intoxicating liquors and the prevalence of drunkenness in the old empire finds expression in old Rus sian popular tale. This states that when the world was created God gave the various nations all sorts of good things-wheat, fruit and all the rest

being hard drinkers, but this, many visitors to that land maintain, is un- deserved. One of the favCrite drinks is kalja, a relative of the Russian kvass. Visitors to Finland do not like the taste of this beverage, but it Is exceedingly popular with the peas ants. It Is, however, so slightly alco- holic that one has to drink an enor- nous quantity of it to get intoXicat- ed.
 In winter a good deal of vunaa is drunk. This is much more fie~y, hay ing as much if not more a. ,ohol in it than whiskey. It was more popular a, generation ago than it is today, as beer has very largely supplanted 1t in favor. The most characteristically Finnish beverage is a drink called nlansikka This is a sparkling like champagne but is favored with wild strawberries.
