SECOND HAND DEALINGS SHOW
GREAT FALLS AS PROSPEROUS;
PEOPLE SELLERS, NOT BUYERS

and the moving of families 20 better
trade centers.
So it is that the amateur statistician
of conditions in Great Falls at this
time has a glowing story to tell. Of
flee furniture cannot be found in the
secondhand store with the exception
of scattered pieces, he says. The best
of the household furniture has been
sold and secondhand men are an in
active market to additional goods.
The only thing that is a drug on the
secondhand store market is the baby
carriage. More than half of the beby
carriages sold by the secondhand store
are sold in April and May, the dealers
say. April especially marked a keen
demand. At this time Of the year the
only baby carriage that sells at all is
the small go-cart. Within a month this
market viii also be destroyed and dur
ing the winter months the second hand
man curses every baby carriage in the
shop.

VOLATILE GASOLINE
 URGED BY EXPERT
Says Fuel Should Readily Give Up Its Power to Be
 Effective

The fuel we feed our human bodies must be readily digestible to be nut ritious; the fuel we feed our engines must be equally dige stible to be eff fective. That is the gasoline must evaporate readily; it must be volatile DO that it will quickly become a vapor and mix with air in explosive pro- portions In order to produce energy and power.
 This is what an expert on gasoline states in the official publication of the American Automobile association Ills article continues to discuss the subject as follows:
 Do you realize what happens in your engine when you put your foot on the gasoline accelerator?,
 Well thinl1 of your carburettor in terms of a medicinal atomlzer, the kind you use to spray a sore throat because he carburettor atomizes the liquid gasoline into an air stream. This air stream passes into the lgine at a high velocity. and as 1t passes through the carburetor to the engine it must mix with air in ex- piosive proportions.

AMERICA AHEAD OF EUROPE IN ALL
 DRAMA-SELWYN
After Study of All European Drama, Famous American Producer LaudS Native

By EDGAR sELwYN

American Playwright and Producer.
 (Copyright, 1929, by The Age-HeraldD
 Paris, July 15.-With full
 consciousness of all of the short
 cominps and fmperfections of the
 American theatres I still say,
 after survey of all Europe, and
 realization of all that Europe Is
 doing for the drama, America
 today holds first place i'm the
 dramatic world.
 The European stage Is afflicted with pernicious anemia. Neither in London, Paris, nor Berlin has a single new Idea been worked out. The game old tricks. familiar to playgoers before the war, still are being worked in the same old way.
 Load In serious Drama
 l will dismiss musical plays. re- vues and the like because America gained pre-eminence in that field long ago but today we also can claim leadership in the serious dra- ma, light comedy and even In a farce where the French once held undisputed sway.
 Europe lacks playwrights. We have dozen in the United States whose ability is unquestoned and who are unsurpassed by any writer whose works are now appearing on the European stage. We also have taken first place in the mechanics of reduction. Our plays on the whole are far more effectively staged than those of Europe.
 Schools Thorough
 Lastly we have-the actors. I don't deny that hard schooling which the European actors are subject 10 has the effect of raising the general av- craze so that even with summer cast understudies such as the ones we are apt to find at this season of the year in Berlin for instance, parts are ably played. But while this train ing may impart technical excellence it cannot make a first class actor from a mediocre one, while it easily

It wastes energy instead of producing It The readiness with which gasoline must give up its power is shown by the fact that reaches the cylinder from the carburetor in less than one- fiftieth of a second.

may destroy the simplicity, sincerity and directness in the portrayal of character
 The only field where America does not compete successfully is in a field in which she does not compete at all, namely, in the treatment Of sub jects forbidden by our censorship There is a great flood of such plays. especially in central Europe. many of which are extremely ably done but even if the censorship were lift ed 1 do not believe we would find much demand for material of this kind In the United States. Psy- chopatholosy does not interest a large public in this country.
 Influence Felt
 In my opinion the American the- atre will henceforth have very strong influence on the Eur opean stage. We shall see American plays in London and Paris and British and French playrights initiating the methods of our best writers as we did in the old days of borrowing from Europe. Our borrowing has been large and has taught us valu- able lessons indeed our best play rights have travelled throughout Eu- rupe studying the European theatre and learning its lessons.
 The pupil now Is outdolng the master and 1t is time that the Ameri- can public r-siis,sd this. The fashion of praising the European stage at the expense of our own may have had q foundation once. but now 1t Is pure nonsense.
 Stage Machinery
 I found just one novelty in Eu- rope and that was purely mechanical. Ar ingenius Berlin director has in- vented new stage shifting machinery which makes possible on the legiti- mate stage lightning changes like those of the movies. Our public will have chance to appreciate it next winter when the Marvellous Adven- lures of Conductor Kreissler" is pro- duced In New York. This invention may have a considerable effect npon the future of the stage inasmueh as heretofore piayrights have been hampered in their treatment of cer- tain themes by the difficulty of mak- ing frequent rapid changes of scene.
 I also discovered Berlin labora- tory where new lighting devices arc being developed. Spotlights whic~ cast no beams across the auditori- sum and which are directed from switchboard instead of manually and ingenuous methods for blending col ors are being evolved there which will mean great improvement in stage lighting effects.
 But that's all Ideas on the Euro pean stage are barren.
