top Of the cmbankmont. Eli did his
best to stop the machine and JENNIE
threw on the emergency brakes but
nothing would hold the car. Whei
the men saw they could not save tn
truck from going over the grade they
jumped for their lives. The front
wheels of the car had just gone over
the hill when the men leaped to safe
ty and it was almost a miracle that
thew were not carried down with the
machine.
Of the furniture only three chairs
and a table were damaged. These OF
course will be made good by John
Rock, owner of the truck. Nh Rock
arrived on the scene sometime after
the accident and took charge Of re-
moving the furniture from the dam
aged truck to another.
Rock Communicated the milk truck
of Henry Clifford of Coventry, who
has just finished unloading his milk
at the station, and used it to move
the furniture away from the damaged
truck. The engine OF the truck was
still running when it stopped inside
the shed at the foot of the grade.
The limbs branching out from huge
tree on the banl, and fence about
half way down the hill all helped to
keep the truck upright and prevent
serious damage When the truck
struck the fence the back wheels
went straight up in the air, but came
down again before the Truck could
turn over The fact that the truck
is stcered by the four wheels helped
TO prevent more serious accident.
c. -. Goodrich of Derby Center,
foreman on Mrs Silvcr's farm for
the past six years, had just started to
unload the truck when the accident
happened. Clarence Webb, one of
John Rocks helpers, trigged the ma
chine as fast as possible, just be-
fore it started to slide.
The accident was one of the most
peculiar that ever occurred in this
city and drew hundreds of people to
the scene.

shades at $40 a week. Anna is far
from being satisfied. She has Gre
alive love for fashion design and she
realizes that she must obtain the
necessary training to commercialize
It.
At the New York Evening School
of Industrial Art, conducted by the
Board of Education, she is given
every advantage to further her am
billions. Annals gift for original
dress designs soon asserts itself,
but she finds her mannikins are
spineless and their hands about as
shapely as a bunch of bananas. She
is sent to another class on alternate
nights, where, in drawing from q
model, she acquires the fundamen-
tai principles of the human form.
Within a few months there is a de-
cided improvement in her work.
Delighted, Anna brings home few
sketches to show her mother, who
is promptly Mortified.

Every class is provided with the ma

mands; the pupil especially who
earns small salary can fully ap-
preciate these advantages.
The instructors are men and wom-

world of industrial art and who
prove an endless source of inspira-

tary. Students who desire to regis

fascinates her.
1t is confusing and perplexing
to have to make a single selection

The New York Evening School of In

students who have broken the time
worn prejudice of commercializing

One fellows chances are approximately
as good as the next's.
IF that is true" inquiries the be-
ginner, "why are so many stage plays
given preferment over original sto-
ries?"
Mr.. MacAlarney answers:
ut is true that rs per cent of the
plays which our company accepts are
taken from the stage, novels or period
icals. These are done by professional
story tellers, and when their subject
is suited to the screen it is reasonable
to assume that the material is the best
that may be had and what we are
looking for. But when VIC buy stage
play, and picturize it, we buy more
than the mere dialogue. We buy what
the writer put between the lines and
that which was deepest in his mind
when he wrote. We think we get more
WV VI Ho'el OF particularly
play-than the writer wrote, because
when it comes to building a screen
structure we have facilities impossible
to the stage"
Occasionally there comes a bleat
from some writer alleging unfairness
IN the business of buying scenarios.
Mr.. MacAlarney utterly disagrees. His
forces, for example, handle more manu-
scripts than any magazine in the
world and pay out vastly greater
sum for accepted work Every see
mario is read, not in fairness to the
writer only but in fairness to the
company, for often but a matter of
