CAN l WRITE FOR THE MOVIES?

tAN WILL To TOh iHE hOV iLSI
have had number of letters from
correspondents asking me my opinion of
their chance of making money by writing
for the movies.
One of my correspondents says: "Thave
many good ideas, good plots, which am
sure would make splendid stories for the
screen But do not know how to write
them out for the picture companies, nor
who to send them to after have written
them Is there any way of finding out?
And do YOU think il will pay me to take
the trouble?"
This is about what all of them want to
he told And so far as ! know, they are
all people who have not had any ex-
perience in writing.
OF course, it is possible that one of these
girls may have n real talent, and If she
persists will make large sums by motion
picture stories. But it Is not very possible
The probability il that all my cores
spondents will waste time and energy and
stamps TO no purpose.
There is great deal OF money TO be
made by writing scenarious stories that
can be turned into scenarios. But it is
| the trained writer who make this money,
and usually only after lot of additional
training in actual scenario writing. With
| the whole world TO draw from IN the
matter of plots and ideas, the motion
pictures are not likely to bother with un-
| known and unframed writer's. What they
want Is the advertisement of name
| known everywhere. or the title OF story
| that has been read in some popular maga'
| zine or rs a best seller Something that
will draw the crowd And the new writer
cannot furnish this advert iseing value.
! But II vou want 10 write and try your
/ luck. YOU can get good books on Tho busi-
ness by writing 10 a bookstore or gong to
| tho library There are many such books
! with MI the necessary rules, examples o.
scenario writing, and addresses and di
rection II YOU have the real, true gift
! YOU will nave the chance 10 land some
! time, with something really new and fresh
/ After that your path will be easy
/ But make sure of this. II is hard work
| long work. and trying work, full Of dis
! appointments Most OF the time you vii
not even hear what has become of youi

Causes of Yellow Fever.

That yellow fever has two different
causes instead Of one is the theory of
DR.. &. SampietrO, whose experiments
have led him to regard the germ dis
covered by Noguchi as insufficient. 1t
Is not easy to assign all results to
mosquito carriers. He believes that
one agent Is bacterial, producing the
typical symptoms of the disease, but
that some other agent--such as FL
terable virus-may give varying eff
fects. Yhe character of the contagl0n
ana the diffusion of the infection seem
TO suggest tilterable virus. The fever
ish weakness IN animals and the first
stage of the disease in man are at
tributed to the virus and the bacillus
is assumed To he the cause of the dis
turbances Of the bodily organs and
other symptoms. It is thought the
virus may give rise to light forms Of
yellow fever. one of which attenuated
forms may be dengue.

There are no indications that In re-

ry, which demonstrate that gasfitting
Is not craft OF modern birth. These
channels ied from assures In. the

from all parts of the East as late as

"I'll see what can be done, but II
he gets that title he'll have to live up

"I'll make him walk a chalk line
you see" the good woman promised as
she left the store.
That evening Abe wrote a playful
commission as colonel for Peter Lu-
klns. which was signed In due time
by all his friends and neighbors and
presented to Lukins by committee
of which Abe was chairman.
Coleman SmOot-a man OF some
means who had farm on the road
to SpringGeld-was in the village that
evening. Abe showed him the COM
mission and asked him to sign 1t.
"Tll sign on one condition." said
Smoot.
"What Is that2" Abe asked.

"You are that now, aren't your
Abe asked.
"Yes. but I haven't earned my COM
mission. You haven't given me a
chance yet What can l do to help

Abe was much impressed by these
kindly words.
"My friends do not often ask what
they can do for me-" he said. 81 sup
pose they haven't thought Of II. I'll
think 1t over and let you know" =
Three days later he walked out to
Coleman Smoots after supper. As
they sat together by the fireslde Abe
said:
"Tve been thinking OF your friendly
question. It's dangerous to talk that
way to man like me. The fact Is,
I need two hundred dollars to pay
pressing debts and give me something
In my pocket when I go to Vandalia
If you can not lend II to me l shall
| think none the less Of you."
81 can and WILL" said Smoot. "I've
been watching you for long time. A
man who tries as hard as you do to
get along deserves to be helped. I be-
lieve In you. I'll go up to Springfield
and get the money and bring 1t to you
within week or sO.'
Abe Lincoln had many friends who
would have done the like for him II
they could, and he knew 1t.
EVERY one has faith In you" said
SmOot. 1--WE expect much Of you and
we ought to be willing to do what
we can to help"
"YOur faith will be my strength. II
l have any," said Abe.
On his way home that night he
thought Of what Jack Kelso had said
Of democracy and friendship.
On the twenty second Of November
a letter came to Ann from BIN Kelso
which announced that she was going
TO New Orleans for the winter with
her husband. Six days later Abe took
the stage for the capital, ut Rutledge's
door, where all the Inhabitants Of the
village had assembled to bid him good

old playfulness, kissed him when he
got into the stage. Abe's long arm
was waving in the air as he looked
back at his cheering friends while the
stage rumbled down the road toward
the great task Of life upon which he
was presently to begiu In the little
village of Vandalia.
