FIRST YEAR THE HARDEST

Washington, June 12.-Anno Vol stead 1 was the hardest!
 Taking trial balance of the as sets and liabilities of prohibition en- forcement, John F. Kramer, retiring commissioner, today announced in turning his office over to Maj. Roy A. Haynes, that "the books show the business is now getting on it's feet. "
 iWth an acknowledgment of the tremendous responsibility involved, Maj. Haynes took the oath of office as second prohibition commissioner of the United States, pledging himself to contribute "every ounce of ability and energy there is in me-"
 On laying down the duties, which he has shouldered without a days va cation since he qualified as the first "man behind the dry laws" MT. Kramer asserted that his successor would see that prohibition got "no half-hearted support"
 "There remains much work yet to do," MT. Kramer continued, "but be- lieve me, l can truthfully say that my successors burdens will be consid- erably lighter than were my own, es- pecially during the first year in which I occupied my present position"

Dean Selects
Ten Greatest
Photoplays
BY JAMES W. DEAN

NEW YORK. Dec. 3i--The ten
best photopiays OF i92t--their selec.
ton u almost entirely one Of per.
sonal opinion. That holds true in
the selection OF a mythical Rll-Amer.
lean football team. the best books of
the year. or any list Of the best" Of
anything.
a scicctive list furnishes n stand
ard 10 measure the critic who makes
I u as much as Il establishes meas
ure Of the films passed upon.
Therefore this critic in submitting
list n the films he considers the
best produced from January !. 1921.
70 January J. 1879 realizes that he
makes himself subject OF criticisms
Girdlng up my typewriter and set.
I ting myself for the onslaught pro-
coed to say that the ten best photo
plays OF the year 1921 are:
''The Three Muskeiecrs"
THE Cabinet OF Dr. Caiigari"
The -Four Horsernen Of the Apo
calypso
Miss Lulu Bettr
THE Kid"
"Dinraell"
Doubling for Romeo
Passion"
Peter fbbetson"
The Journeys End"
"The Three Musketeers" undoubt-
eddy Is the best photoplay yet pro
duced In America. II not In the world
II possesses unity Of action and char
acterization. n ~ a play Of serious
intent shot thru with humor. Ac.
ton lags for never moment Its
technique Is flawless. It's settings and
photography approaching perfection.
I was Of a mind when first con
sidering the list to place THE Cab
met OF Dr. Caligari" In first posi-.
ton. That film marks the biggest
advantage In the art OF the cinema
since the first photoplay was made.
It's form IL neither literature. por-
traiture nor drama. II represents a
form that employs each Of those Gle
menta, yet rs distinct unto Itself. n
form that for want OF n better name
designate az cinema composition.
TO give reasons for each Of the
selections would require too much
space. One thing alone In THE Kid"
would make II worthy Of place In
any list. That was the expression
IN Chaplin's face when he was in
formed that the Kid was III. That
was the greatest OF facial acting ever
caught by the camera.
/ placed "rhe Journeys End" In
the list because II told its story ade'
quateiy without the did Of even one
subtitle. In doing that II fulfilled
the true mission OF n photodrama.
Ten other photoplays considered
'qt length for place on the list
Nere THE Goicm." 'Idttle Lord

Eater" Deception" with

like the Green Bay Tree"

Weeds, which have been called
plants whose virtues have not yet
been discovered" are extraordinarily
prolific in producing seeds. From a
single large purslane plant, as many
as 1,25O,OO0 seeds may be obtained. A
thistle will produce anything between
100000 and 100000, and the charlock
100000; while the shepherds purse
will content itself with a modest 5O,-
600! Many seeds retain their power
of germinatic1 for from Is to 80
years. included amongst these being
the dock, chickweed and shepherds
purse. Have you ever thought Of the
number of grains contained in one
pound Of wild oats? We may put 1t
approximately al 25.0O0. But If you
want the same weight in plantain or
charlock seeds, you will require 1,S00,-
GOO and 100000 respectively.
