Future of
Camera Is
Predicted
Movies Will Be Taken
and Flashed at Once
on Screen, Says u. S.
Bureau Director
By Harry L. Rogers.

Washington, D. c., June 70, -
A moving picture camera compris-
ing within the compass of a vest
pocket kodak most of the attrib-
utes of the eye and optic nerve and
a great many of the functions OF
the human brain is the goal to-
ward which scientists are aiming,
and it is not unreasonable to ex-
pect them to attain it by 1850 or
sooner, according to DR.. Henry D.
Hubbard, assistant director Of the
United States bureau of Stand
ards.
Speaking before the Society of
Motion Picture Engineers here
DR.. Hubbard predicted a brilliant
future for the motion picture in
dustry, fairly astounding his aud
itors with some Of his suggestions
as to probable lines of develop
ment.
Within thirty years, he predict
ed scientists win have worked out
moving picture camera which
Will record in full color, develop
the picture instantaneously and
telegraph it exactly as recorded to
an automatic filing charnber. BY
means of another tiny mechanism
the film will be located and ex-
hibited instantly without any ref
eI ence to an indas, Just as certa n
scenes recorded perhaps many
before are brought up from
the storehouse of memory by a
mere impulse of the will. This
as fore-shadowed by
DR.. Hubbard, would have self
plates, on which not
pictures but continu-
ously changing picture would be
formed and erased after being tele-
graphed to the storage room. The
whole instrument, according to
would function auto
and may reasonably be
expected not to exceed in size the
smallest kodaks of the present day.
For fear such a camera may be
declared impossible. said Dr.
Il hasten to remind you
that Mother Nature anticipated
my specifications by some million
years when she gave us our two
eyes. The result is that each Of
Us has such a pair of cameras, self

VIRGIN ISLANDS PRODUCE
FINE QUALIFY OF COTTON

Cotton raising has become one Of
the principal industries Of the Vir-
gin Islands, Uncle Sans newest
territorial possession, according to
Bulletin No. 1, Sea Island Cotton in
st. Croix, Of the Virgin Islands
agricultural experimental station,
just issued by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Sea-island cotton, the much-prized,
long-staple variety which has been
rendered almost extinct in continental
United States by the boil weevil,
is the basis of the Virgin Island in
dustry. The area devoted to it, while
as vet small, produced an average
yield Of 1000 pounds of seed cotton
to the acre in 1919 and 1920 One
of the plats at the government ex-
pertinent station produced at the rate
Of ALSO pounds Of seed cotton.
Since the establishment Of the ex-
pertinent station in 1911 the aim has
been to secure varieties of cotton re-
sistant or immune to the blister mite,
and which also possesses a heavy
bearing quality with extra long, fine
lint. A series Of experiments has
been undertaken in crossing sea
island with other varieties in the
hope of getting a more remunerative
type. Some of these hybrids show
an even heavier yield than pure sea
island while retaining the desirable
characteristics of the latter and the
resistant qualities of the other va
riety.

THE FRYING PAN

Some dietician is in Kansas City
making war on the frying pan. Fools
of this character have to be tolerated,
since the law makes no provision for
their execution. This republics
greatness is founded deep in frying
pan, skillet and spider traditions.
The pioneer with his frying pan and
rifle blazed the trail into the wilder
ness ana carried white civilization
from ocean to ocean. He was the
hardy product of simple food, simp-
~ cooked, in a simple utensil. He
had teeth and CUTS, Drawn and brain,
clear conscience and courageous
soul, a keen eye and trigger-finger
that functioned 100 per cent. eff
cient. He was a nation builder, a
torch-bearer Of civilization, a tower
ing figure that scorned danger and
never faltered in the presence Of
duty. He was no shriveled dyspep-
tic, no neurotic weakling, no slave
OF pampered palate. II our fragile
creatures who feast on omelet souf-
fles, creamed mushrooms, chicken a
la king and roasted snails, had been
entrusted with the tremendous task
of the frying-pan giant, who laid the
foundations OF the mightiest struc-
ture of human civilization Of all his
tory, America would have still been
a wilderness. Nobody objects to the
spindle-shanked numskulls who think
they know something about real
yituals and how to cook, itinerating
around in their effort to make an
easy living, but they must lay Off
our frying pan, the noblest cooking
utensil of all, judged by its achieve
ments. Indeed, 50 well has it per-
formed its great mission that if the
day should ever come when men as-
sembled to design flag for the fed
GRAFTON Of the world, surely this hon
Qred emblem upon its sacred folds
would be a noble symbol Of liberty,
progress, brotherhood and democracy.
George Bailey in Houston Post.
