CINEMA BREVITES

George Marshall. who was respon- sible for the making of Prairie Trains" starring Tom Mix, and Why Trust Your Husband' with Eileen Percy, is about to complete work upon another Tom Mix special which will be released nuder the title, "Oh, You Tex!"
 Again the camera is grinding upon a new film in which Estelle Taylor will have the leading feminine role. It has not yet been named, but is said to be of an episodical nature, similar, in that it is in episodes, to the pronounced success, While New York Sleeps.'' Miss Taylor's ward robe list is most disconcerting. It calls for wearing apparel usually worn by the fair sex from the ages of fifteen to thirty-five and in as many different walks of life. Evi- dently the director has every faith in Miss Taylor's versatility.

STUDIO HAS LARGEST GLASS
 TANK MADE

The largest piece of plate glass ever made, it is said, has just been received from a Pittsburgh glass works by Vithgraph, at it's West Coast studio. It is to be used in the construction of a new glass water tank, for photographing underwater scenes. The glass is one and one half inches in thickness and was made in plates of six by ten feet Vita or two inch thickness, but the mills could not make a clear glaass of this size. The glass is cut to size with a powerful electric needle.
 This company always has had the largest glass tank in the picture business, but the new one will be a vast improvement on the old one.

FARM EQUIPMENT ESSENTIAL
Successful Management of Crops De-
ponds Greatly Upon Efficiency
of implements.

The successful management of
modern farm largely depends upon
the efficiency of the equipment with
which the work is performed, special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture point out.
The equipment of the average farm
can be divided into about three more
or less distinct classes, as follows
First and most important. are the
buildings, fences, implements, machin-
cry, wagons and all appliances used in
the more important farming opera
tiOns; second, utensils and machinery
used in connection with the dairy, gar
den tools, butchering outfit, and the
numerous small things for general use
about the place third, the tools, ma
terials, and facilities for keeping the
first two classes of equipment in good
working order.
In order to secure the greatest eff
cheney, all implements and machinery
should be properly housed when not
in actual service, so as to be in good
working condition when required for
use.

Winter brings out the best fur on

ture.
1t is the season when the rural
dweller in nearly any part Of the Uni
ted States can harvest a crop to which
he has devoted no other labor.
Trapping Looks Easy.
Wild-animal trapping looks easy to
most farm boys until they have tried
and failed. Success demands knowl-
edge of the animals and their habits.
The red fox, for instance, must be
caught by wiles as cunning as his own.
Traps and the ground where they are
set must be free from human scents.
Steel traps are cleaned by boiling with
pungent twigs or by burying or leaving
in running water for a day or two, af-
ter which they should be handled only
with leather or waXed cotton gloves.
Breeding grounds, hunting grounds and
peculiar habits of the animals should
be well studied beforehand. Traps are
sometimes set in springs that do not
generally freeze over. A little island
is built up some time before the trap
is set. A No. or No. 3 steel trap is
imbedded in the soil with a piece Of
moss covering the pan. A bit of faint
ed meat preferably game, is used for
bait.
In making land set, shallow hole
is made to conceal the trap and the
stake and chain which hold it. The
earth removed should be placed on
cloth, and all that is not used should
be carried away. The trap is covered

average height above sea level is
greater than that of the Himalayas,
