INTERESTING TALE OF
CAMP Nelson BRIDGE

Motorists and others from this
section are interested in a descrip
ton and history of the big wood
en- bridge over the Kentucky riv-
er at Camp Nelson, as given by
| Col. James Maret in the Lexing-
ton Leader last Sunday. Col.
Maret wrote Of it:
The oldest wooden bridge in
the state spans picturesque Ken
lucky river at Camp Nelson on
the Observation-Disclosures
ter pike, 20 miles south of Lex
ington: the most wonderful, sin
gle-span. old fashioned covered
wooden bridge in the world. 1t Is

to replace the old bridge with q
modern steel structure
Some writer states that til"
state furnished half the money
for the erection OF this bridge adj
ding that its total cost was est
mated to be S25O.0O0. State aid

Army Will Ta,e Own Moving
 Pictures

Washington.-The United States army is going into the motion pie ture business and soon will be in position to furnish everything from camera man to audience.
 Through the signal corps of the army maintained a photographic sec ton throughout the war and made thousands of feet of actual battle scenes for the war college records, the retail end of the industry, so to speak, has until now been conducted by an outside organization, the Com munity Motion Picture Bureau.
 Under contract entered into Octo- Der 21, 1919, this concern agreed to furnish motion picture films to 157 camps, posts and stations. By June of this year. the number had increased to 184 and attendance had risen from 147,565 to more than half a million, and it is still on the increase.
 The admission fee is ten cents and the profits accruing from the larger camps enable the smaller posts also to have "movies'' once or twice a week. In order to provide operators for the service. motion picture op- eration has been made one of the fea- lures of vocational training.
 A plan is now well under way by which the army itself will operate the molten picture service without the aid of the Community Bureau, thus eliminating overhead expense and 1 making the service self-supporting.
