CAMERA
LATEST IN MOVIES
New Invention Would Show students
Conduct of Intricate Surgical o.
OperatiOns

BERLIN. Aug. 29.-An invention by
which detailed. enlarged moving pictures
of intricate surgical operations are taken
without interfering with the operating
physicians and without the presence of a
camera operator has been perfected by
DR. A. Won Rothe of Berlin. and now Is
being used in a number of German medi-
cal universities for the benefit of stu-
dents 1t is claimed that the students Sc
cure better instruction from a study of
the moving picture of the operation than
from witnessing the operation itself
The 'oppratio camera" is designed to
hang directly above the operating phySi-
clans hands. The cinematographical
lamps are in a room above, separated
from the operating room by a glass roof.
After the machine has been placed in
position an operating physician or a
nurse can start it by pressing an electri-
cal foot device which is all the attention
necessary on the part of the doctor or the
attendants.

TO BRING BEAVER
INTO VERMONT
Fish and Game Department Will Try to
Stock Swamp Lands with Csc
fui Animals

OLD FORGE, y. Y. Aug. 29.-Ver-
mont is going to send a man from the
fish and game commission Of that state
into this section to take some beaver
alive to be used for propagation purposes
in Vermont.
There has been drive under way for
several years throughout Vermont to get
some beaver located in the state, but it
has met little success. There has been
drastic projections on the animals in Yer
mont, the penalty being larger than i'll
New York state.
Ii is unknown just how many beaver
will be taken from this state to be trans
ported but it is expected that there will
be several pair. There win be enough
taken to give Vermont a good start if
they propagate As fast as they have in
this section. 1t was only a few years
ago when there were very few beaver in
New York, but now one can hardly come
to a stream in the woods without finding
evidence of their work.
There is q natural cover for them in
the state they are TO be taken into
Many of the alder swampS along the
streams viii be changed into ponds which
will help the fishing, these ponds being
good rearing places for trout
1t is thought that Rutland county Will
be a natural place for the liberation of
the animals.

HARDING DESIRES
MORE EMPLOYMENT
To Call Conference of Industrial Lead
ers to Recommend More Work
Through Winter

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 - President
Harding will call a national conference,
representative of the whole country, 10
meet here next month to inquire into
the unemployment problem. Announce
ment of the Presidents intention was
made last night by Secretary Hoover,
who was asked to formulate plans for
the gathering These, he said, would be
ready for the President within ten days.
Mr.. Hoover continued:
THE object of the conference will be
to inquire into the volume of needed
employment, the. distribution OF unem-
ployment, to make recommendations as
to measures that can properly be taken
in co-Ordinated speeding up of employ
ment by industries and public bodies
during the next winter and. in add
ton, a broad study of economic meas
ures desirable to amelIorate the unem-
plovment situation and give impulse to
the recovery of business and commerce
to normal. Many constructive sugges-
tions have been made to the depart
ment by employers, governors of states
and by city officials
while the business situation IS
the number at the conference as small
as possible, Mr.. Hoover said, so that the
work NAV be done with expedition, 1t
is intended to invite representatives. OF
the greater groups of industries and
thought. and the cooperation of ma
tional organizations will be sought in
their selection. The personnel of the
conference. Mr.. Hoover added, will be
made ND so as to represent the country
geographically. The commerce depart
ment is to cooperate with the labor de
partment on representation of labor.
''While the business situation Is
steadily IMPROVING Mr.. Hoover stated,
some sections of the workers may
have exhausted their savings by the
coming winter and they must be q mat
ter of extreme solcitude. 1t is incon-
ceivabIe that America with its SURPRISES
in food and clothing, with housing
though crowded-and with an album
dance of fuel could allow anv suffering
among those of our own people who de-
sire to work.

Some dissatisfaction appeared in Tam

The investigation of the legislative COM
