CHRISTMAS VACATION

There is something about Christ
mas vacation that appeals to the
average person more than any other
period of the year. When we discern
the reason therefor, it is simple
going home to see the folks and Oh!
what a thrill one has as it brings
back delightful recollections of by
gone days. Honeymoon trips are
much in evidence; often it means the
first Christmas dinner for the bride
and groom of the old home. Also
the college students with a gala time
in store for them and, while travel
ing to and from their homes find
many interesting educational subjects
In fact, people are fast getting
back to the habits formed before the
war and the stay-at-home-C Christmas
is thing Of the past and the holiday
season is becoming more popular as
a time for coming and going of the
American people, great many of
whom are, of necessity, compelled to
remain at home during the summer
months. Besides, the Christmas
season has peculiar charm pleasing
to the eye, as viewed from the car
window, fields and hills being clothed
in winter garb.
In the last few years, during the
period of the war, the Christmas
spirit was crushed to a great extent
but now that Peace again reigns and
much in keeping with the day, the
Yuletide cheer will rejoice anew and
be- an incentive for numerous family
reunions, more in evidence no doubt
this year than ever before.

Fatal Crossing Accident

Chas. Wills, of Newark, and Wilbur
Priest of Granville, were instantly
killed Tuesday afternoon when a west
bound Pennsylvania train struck the
truck in which they were riding at
the O'Bannon avenue crossing in East
Newark. The men were employed by
the Ashbrook Milling company of
Granville, and had brought in a load
of flour and were on their way back
loaded with oil meal. 1t is supposed
that the enclosed top on the truck pre-
vented them from seeing the ap-
preaching train which was partly hid
den by cut of cars standing on an
other track. Both men were dead
when picked up, their bodies being
mangled and heads crushed. Priest,
was unmarried and made his home
with his grandmother on the Colum-
bus road near Granville. Wills, a
veteran of the late war, aged 25
years, was married and lived at 1T
North Gay street. He is survived by
his wife, both parents and one sister.
The funeral was held Thursday after
noon in the United Brethren church
at Hanover, and interment made in
the adjoining cemetery. The funeral
of Wilbur Priest was held at the
Methodist church in Granville Thurs
day afternoon and burial made in the
Wilson cemetery.

Cotton's Curse and Blessing.

Historically and economically cot

curse to the South 1t was the means
of. credit in the days of destfution
following the war between the states,
and then it put its white cultivators
into crop. mortgage bondage. But it
finally paid the mortgages, though at
a frightful cost of economic agiicul-
ture and of rural comfort, and the
South at last seems to have learned
the better way of Investigation. At
least, the South practiced diversified
tion-fed itself during the late war,
with benefit TO the nation and with
profit to itself in the higher pound
price indeed, in the greater annual
gross return-for five short crops. II
remains TO be seen whether present
prices will revive the old habit of all
cotton and produce crop larger than

A faint OF AUToCRACY.
Strong Objections Offered to Censori-
GUS Conduct of Certain American
Representatives Abroad,

John Clayton of The Tribune foreign
news service, writing from Reval, re-
lates some OF his experiences in trying
to get news through to the United
States. The restriction, if not the cor
ruption, of news for popular effect on
distortion of American opinion, has
been one of the purposes of censor
ship pressed far beyond the necessities
of war
Mr.. Clayton relates that his troubles
were not all with the censors. Some of
them were with American diplomatic
agents who have no right to intervene
between correspondent and his public
but who do when they can.
Even Hugh Gibson in Warsaw Mr..
Clayton writes, "has taken it on him
self to censor dispatch which he be-
lieved prejudicial to the interests of his
office in Warsaw. 1t was turned
over to the operator, who before send
ing it showed it TO Mr.. Gibson. The
minister refused TO permit its dispatch,
matter in which he had no authority.
Thomas Stewart Ryan of The Tribune
on the courier train from Warsaw to
Danzig until Mr. Ryan threatened to
make report on the matter, 1t is my
understanding that Gibson is expected
to assist rather than hinder American
citizens in pursuit of their duties in his
territory
Many, probably most, Of the men in
American posts abroad are patriotic
and serve the interests they are ex-
pected to serve, but some seek foreign
positions for social prestige. To at
tain social ends some of the American
will serve the alien
more assiduously than they will serve
their countrymen.
An American whose first service is to
may not be handed much
tea. The danger is frequently consid-
cradle. Europe knows how to use So
,ially ambitious men and get much
rood out Of them with small effort.
Mr.. Gibson may not be one in this |
lass, but the class is large enough to
,ause considerable embarrassment to
American nterests.-Chicago Tribune.

PROBABLY the one question that is
most often heard during the progress
of motion picture on the screen or
after it has been seen in it's entirety is
How do they do THAR" In the old
days motion pictures, when trick pho
Biography was frequently used to gain
what We're considered highly enter
taininlg effects, all of this was easily
explained by even the tyrol, who,
though he knew nothing about it, with
a wave of the hand would answer, ooh,
you can do anything with a motion
picture camera"
Nowadays, however, mere trickery
with the lens is less frequently resorted
10 than might be expected, and in many
OF the most interesting photoplays there
Is no resort whatever to trick photog-
raphy Indeed, the desire has been
more or less to avoid anything with a
semblance of trickery, depending largely
on the dramatic construction, the act
ing, realism or elegance of investiture
and the artistry and finesse in direction
to achieve the bestNresults Neverthe-
less there are still times when it be-
comes necessary to resort to extraordi-
nary means to accomplish a certain
end, and it is Of a few of these exam
pies that l wish to speak in this arti-
Gle.
For instance, in a forthcoming Para
mount Aircraft picture starring Hou-
DIM, the noted handcuff expert, there
is scene wherein he is on one side
of railroad track while the heroine is
on the other in the grasp of a number
Of ruffians. Houdini Is in high
powered motr car and in his anxiety
to rush to the scene, even though the
protective gates have descended, he
drives his car at breakneck speed
through these very gates and misses
the train by distance of only a few
feet, arriving in time to save the girl
from herepersecutors. This was tried
be termed trick method but the re-
suit was unsatisfactory. 1t nigh have
gotten by years ago, but today it would
not do. Finally, it was decided ac-
tually to do the stunt in defiance of
danger, and as a matter of fact, the
train, coming on at full speed, was
within half dozen feet Of the motor
as 1t dashed past, splintering the big
gates in its mad career
In another production, George Mel
ford's picture of Jack London's novel,
The Sea Wolf" the collision between
a steamer and a ferryboat on San Fran
cisco bay, is staged. Part of this scene
precise locale Of the story, and two
boats were chartered and more or less
damaged in the process, but it would
have been obviously impossible to per-
NIT steamer to crash through ferry
boat in midstream. Therefore, at the
Lasky Studio the entire side of ferry
boat in actual size was constructed and
peopled by number of extras. Di-
rectly behind this the prov of a full
sized steamer was built and arranged
on a sort of catapult foundation. The
ferryboat part of the set was so con-
structed that it would rock as with
the motion of the waves and the i'm
pact, fitting to an alarming degree. At
the given signal from the director the
prov of the steamer was projected
through the side of the boat shatter-
ing the glass windows and splintering
the wood. The various effects of spray
and steam were all provided for, and
