velOFment of this industry was held

were fixed at one dollar year, many
paying for five years in advance
Meetings will be held semi-annually
on the second Monday in May and
the second Monday in October.
a short recess was held, during
which those present had an oppor5un
ity to get acquainted and to exchange
experiences. An informal discussion
was also held pending a report from
the nominating committee.
1t was brought out in the discussion
that no actual diseases are known to
attack the adapted grapes. In the in
sect line, aphides and ants seemed tc
cover the list, and soap suds, or a
weak tobacco solution was recon
mended fer the aphides. Among tnt
remedies suggested for ants was sea
tering sulphur on the ground around
the vines, keeping the soil loose. and
using insect powers. In this connec
tion it was brought out that the grape
vine is a tender growth and does no
stand spraying with strong chemicals
The appearance Of rust" spots on the
leaves was said to be the result of dry
weather. Spraying was recommended

PROPOSAL TO SELL
COUNTIES Is EXPECTED
TO CAUSE LIVELY TILT

, Tallahassee, April 1.-THE pro-
posed sale of the western part of the
state of Alabama is expected to
cause an eruption of Legislative pyro-
technics when the lawmakers reach
the question. While the general opin-
ion among the legislators is that
such measure cannot be passed at
this session. lively tilt over the is
sue is predicted.
Strong opposition is expected from
the combined forces of the middle
and western parts of the state. The
opponents Of the capitol's removal are
expected to lead in the opposition
because should the territory go to
Alabama, it would weaken, according
% political observers, their strongest
argument to retain the seat of gov
eminent here.

much of the time as is consistent with
 the effective telling of the story. Thus,
 it is estimated that on an average
 Ruth Ro1and's portrait is photo
 graphed ten times to every foot of
 film in the picture.
 Given these incredible figures, what
 qualities exerted by the Serial
 Queen" account for them? A little
 reflection will enable almost any steady patron Of motion pictures to answer: First, superior ability as an actress in pictures; second, a trained capacity for the extreme of physical activity, united with skill and unusual daring; third, a lively and most at tractive personality in which beauty by no means is wanting; fourth, in domitable energy and industry. It goes without saying that genuine love of her profession pervades all of these specifications.
 It is acknowledged that all of these qualities are demonstrated at their finest in Miss Roland's latest serial, ''The Averaging Arrow now showing in Bridgeport The story, with it's old Spanish-American setting, it's pie turesque costumes and it's motives of primitive passions rushes along it's course with the irresistible force of a mountain torrent punctuated with whirlpooIs and cataracts, which seem proper metaphors for the thrills which punctuate the picture, episode by eplSOue-
 As most movie fans are aware. Ruth Roland had risen as a star in pictures before she made her first Pathe serial. ''The Red Circle" in 1915- She had been a child actress, singer and dancer in vaudeville. A great favorite throughout the terri tory of the big circuits, she did not enter pictures on her first invitation not by any means. But she was an American girl, built on the out door, wholesome and spirited Parific Coast model, q daring rider and a strong swimmer-so it was only a matter of little time when the pie lures would get her. Following ''The Red Circle" she has produced serials exclusively for Pathe in the following order: Who Pays" ''The Neglected Wife" Hands Up," "The Tigers Trail,'' '"Tne Adventures of Ruth" Ruth of the Rockies" and ''The A A-enGing Arrow"
 Each of these serial pictures is the equal in length to six ordinary fea-

Having completed "The Averaging
 sArrow,' her eighth motion picture
 aserial, Ruth Roland recently treated
 sherself to her first real vacation in
 several years. She spent it mainly in
 3Sew York. This involved tTanscon-
 etanental journeys between Los Angeles
 f<xnd the Eastern metropolis covering
 fabout six thousand miles, and sug- sBestS an illustration in coldhgures of f7he Serial Queens enormous, world
 stUide popularity.
 IfMiss Roland had made her jour sney both ways from coast to coast Estanf1ing on the rear platform of the s~4obserVaion car reeing off the con- Snected prints of all her serial pie StIres-aftef the fashion of laying sRn ocean cable-she would have left snpon thevTailway tracks ann unbroken ssdeHfze ribbon of film. which more
 fhan enough left over to lay" a
 &riple film cable on the bottom of the sAtlantic between New York and t4Iver1oo1-
 It is perfectly honest and fair to tredHce Ruth Hollands popularity to isAgHres in this way, because every foot sof this film was produced to meet an ssEx1stInS and constantly increasing SPubaiE demand Upon definite orders Efrom motion picture theatres it is S<iistrIbuted by Pathe and projected on fpicfure screens to paying audiences in Eeyery civilized community in the world.

 These figures indicate another in Eteresting popularity illustration. Each ffoot of picture film contains sixteen hapaTate and perfect photographs. Taken separately they are like ordi- mary snap shots'' in diminutive form, 'each one inch wide and three-quarters sof an inch deep. Although they are photographs of figures in action, -he : i"expoSure" given to each is so brief that motion does not become ap- parent until a series of them is pro jected on the screen at a high rate of .speed-at least sixteen per second. They are therefore similar to any other instantaneous photographs. The 1 star of a serial picture is in the scene son an average at least half of the +time.

Ruth Roland, reproduced from her latest photograph taken during her recent visit to New York City and some of her fesats of strength and daring which lend thrills to her serial pictures, Of which 'The Averaging Ar TOW" is her eighth and latest.

tures which means that Ruth Roland and her company of supporting peo- ple have produced, almost without in terruption. the equivalent of forty eight of the ffve-reel photo-dramas which figure as the piece de resistance of most motion picture programmes. Now consider the extra demand upon the serial for thrilling moments or physical action. The feature, like a gtacc drama. proceeds along lines of gradually increasing intensity up 10 it's single big dramatic moment Inc fifteeu-episode serial of two ree1s To .he episode. must develop at least one big climax of physical action rising out of it's story for each episode with a suspense carry-over' to the beginning of the next-a principle de- rived from the picture serials proto- serial romance, to be continued in our next" and is to be violated only on pain of public 6isapproval.
 Truly a labor for Hercules! Yet Ruth Roland is not even al Amazon. She is slender, graceful, pretty, and triurnphantly feminine-but indom- itabIy energetic. With this dynamic support for her exceptional talent and her many physical accomplishments the secret of her steadily increasing is explained. She is always poised and. ready for daring feats. A won derfUl horsewonan- she leaps wide. rocky chasms; she leaves the back Of her sanoping steed to alight in the cab of a speeding locomotive: sue escapes from her enemies to the top of a freight car and baffles them by swinging free on a rope ladder low cred from rescuinG arplane: sturdy swimmer, she trusts herself to ocean waves, to be picked up by q sweeping seaplane; she lowers herself over the Cdge of a prec1pice with a lariet fastened to the pommel of her saddle-and these are merely in stances of a hundred similar per- formances, all inspired by her sense of what is due to the many millions of picture patrons in return for their Cver-increasing support
 Through it all. such is her Judgment and skill. she never has met with any serious injury. During the period of her recent vacation in the East she exhibited no evidence of overwork; on the contrary, the labor and excit- ing adventures involved in the pro duction of these fourteen thousand miles of serial picture film seem to have enhanced all her feminine at fractions.
