shelves protected with door, or
doors, having diamond-panel glass set
in, are popular.
All portable closets have ball-bear-
ing castors SO they may be readily
moved, and the taller ones are almost
always built in two sections which
fit together with pegs and holes.
They fit together so perfectly there
is no danger of their having rickety
tendency which would endanger their
contents.
All the old closets we're built of
hardwood, variously polished and
vanished with elaborate hinges,
knobs, handles and locks which
formed the decorative finish. Those
in bright brass and in Dutch or Japa-
nese silver, require frequent polishing
to keep them up to the right standard
of brilliancy.
Unusual New Types
Modern closets are carried out in
plain yellow pine, well seasoned and
filled, then they are painted and deco
rated to fit the rooms in which they
are to be used. Some are painted in
black and ornamented with designs
of fruit, flowers, figures or scenic
panels, in natural colors. Others are
painted in Chinese red, vanished to a
high polish, and the decorations are
of Chinese design and are worked out
| in gold with black shadows. Elabor-
ate metal hinges are used on this type
of closet and are very attractive.
Other closets done in other wood
are simply sand papered, filed and
vanished to bring out their natural
wood grain. Still others are painted
| in futurist fashion, shaded blue and
green swirling into a definite design
at certain points where meremaid,
a fish or human figure works itself
distinctly into view, colorful but ultra
modern in school.
Everyone is conscious of the charm
of the octagonal room land a bit of
the charm may be brought into a
square room by cutting off two of its
corners with portable corner closets,
a third corner being disguised by a
triangular-shaped tea table, or serv-
| ing table, built with three center
drawers reaching the floor The table,
of course, like the closets, matching
the woodwork in the room, black, with
yellow walls, for instance. or some
other contrast.

Most big film companies want
original stories, written especially for
the screen. The big film companies
believe that writers developed solely
to supply the needs of the screen will
do more good in the upbuildiEg of
the motion picture, than released
plays, novels and magazine stories.
Neither is it thought that established
authors are necessary to the screen.
Any new writer, if he can write good
screen stories-stories where the &C
ton really happens, instead of being
talked about-comedies where the
humor lies in the situations and incl
dents, instead of the lines stories
that can be told in pant6mine rather
than by subtitles, can be assured that
his stories will find q market
CAS- long as motion picture pro-
ducers continue to pay big prices for
a play that has been failure on the
stage and hesitate about accepting an
original scenario written especially
for the SCREEN" says J. G. Brownell,
''just as long do they continue to adj
NIT that the screen is inferior to the
stage in artistry and in public estima-
ton.
Cali stage plays. in order to make
acceptable material for the screen,
must be rewritten. Dialogue must be
changed into action; continuity must
be supplied; the many things that
are supposed to occur between acts

Borders for Gardens

The best place for hardy border
is against wall, or along walk,
leaving space of grass between.
To make a new border, remove the
sod and soil to depth of about two
feet. When refilling, put layer OF
clinkers or small stones in the bot
tom for drainage; then, sods, face
down, or leaves. After that, mix
chopped sod. coarse fertilizer and inch
bone, and fill in few inches from
the top. The top layer should be

about five inches.
Flower beds for ANIMALS are more
easily made. as it is only necessary to
remove about six inches of the top

New Stories for Motion Pictures

if the play has intrinsic value, and it
is properly played and directed Ill
will make a good picture:
"The majority of plays, however,
are not suitable for the screen, as
many producers have learned at great
cost. When big price is paid for a
stage success the producer is simply
paying for prestige-for a name--for
an advertising point. He thus gives
to the spoken play first place in inn
portance over the silent drama, when
the producer has in his power with
his vast resources and his vast audi
ence, to put the screen production in
the first place and so popularize an
original story that it will be sought
after as a vehicle of some star of the
audible stage.
"The stage and the screen are al
lied, it is true. Both belong to the
dramatic family, but their relation
ship does not go much further. Each
requires individual treatment; each
has it's own technique. Occasionally
you will find play that lends itself
to screen treatment, but in the ma
jority of cases but the bare outline
can be utilized and the rest of the
garment must be supplied out of the
whole cloth.
II prefer original stories-stories
written by men who understand the
requirements of the screen and writ
ten for the screen. Or l will buy
clever magazine stories that contain
the ingredients of a good motion pic
ture play"

Pure Blood Chicks
Sure to Pay Best
By F. T. MAC FEELY

Seven years experience in the poul.
try business exclusively, has con.
vinced P. E. Squires, of Indiana, that
it pays to feed only the best stock.
When Mr.. Squires first entered the
business he began with nothing but
scrubs-left-over chicks from regular
orders at a nearby hatchery. The
flock consisted of $50 day old chicks.
Even with his poor start he was
successful in maintaining high
average yield of eggs and meat. With
good care and proper feeding, this
flock grew to more than 1900 chick
ems the second year, aside from those
that died and those that were sold.
At the end of the third year Mr..
Squires cleared net profit of more
than $500, in addition to living, ex-
penses.
But he was not satisfied. He want
ed greater returns in payment for his
labor and the interest on his capital,
so he decided to try pure-bred stock.
Using the $500 as start, he built
another series of coops and purchased
100 pure-blood Rhode Island Reds,
day-old chicks only. He still kept a
comparison. to see if it really paid to
raise pure-bred poultry.
Mr.. Squires has figures TO show that
the 100 pure blood chicks have
brought bigger profits in the past
four years than the $50 scrubs have
returned in the past seven years. The
pure-blood hens are better layers,
the chickens are heavier and more
healthy. Besides this, Mr.. Squires
gets better price for the settings,
and when he sells breeding cock
he gets twice as much for it as for the
scrub In fact, he is unable to sell
his scrub cocks, except for meat. Mr..
Squires is getting rid of his scrubs en-
tirely.

STATE FUNDS NOT LISTED

Washington, May 26.-Col. William
Cooper Proctor of Cincinnati, head of
the Leonard Wood League and
the Leonard Wood League Campaign
Committee, told the Senate sub.com-
mittee investigating pre-convention
campaign funds yesterday that he had
personally advanced 100000 of his
own money to the campa gn; had
given $4,000 aside from this, and that
from general contributions there had
been raised in edition a sum rather
LEST than his personal contributions,
All this, aggregRting about 81 ,000,-
900, was raised by the general cam
paign committee and was exclusive of
amounts raised by local organizations
in the States, some of which had
large funds of their own, he explained
Thus, in Michigan, the State Wood or
ganization raised S54,311.72, OF which
$50 GOO was given by Col Il. NJ Alger,
while In Ohio another large fund was
raised and spent locally.
! Col Proctor protested that he could
not give details about finances Of the
Wood movement, because he had avoid
ed knowing much about them aside
from his own contributions; but he
said A. A. Sprague, general treasurer,
would give the details. Mr.. Sprague
will appear before the committee Sat
urday.
| CO.. Proctor is head Of the PROCTOR
& Gamble company the Cincinnati soap
/ manufacturers. He said he was ap-
preached last Augusttby the Leonard
Wood League, and in October was ask
ed to be chairman OF the campaign
committee, but declined because of pol
! itical inexperience. Under pressure
he finally yielded and took hold last
January.
