MADE REALISTIC on SCREEN
Effect Of Tree Being Struck by
Lightning Produced With Re- -
markabIe Effectiveness,

In one of the leading film prOduc-
tons there is q very realistic storm
scene, and as team of horses is be-
ing driven by, q tree is struck by
lightning. This wonderful lightning
effect was entirely artificial. A charge
Of flashlight powder was laid in the
tree, over which the bark was re-
placed. An electric wire ran from the
charge to battery little distance
away.
Two big searchlights were then con-
nected up with a portable electric
generator a few feet behind the
camera and focused on the tree at the
spot where the flashlight charge was
placed. The night was pitch dark
when the scene was taken. The
character in the scene was placed, and
the signal given. The camera man
started "shOoting'' At word from
the director, the two big lights were
suddenly flashed on, and off again,
illuminating the entire scene with a
sudden binding fash of light.
At the same time the fashlight
charge in the tree was exploded, Civ
Ing the effect of bolt of lightning
coming in contact with the tree. Then
all was darkness again. A few care
fully placed scratches on the emulsion
Of the film ahead of the scene served
as perfect lightning streaks just be-
fore the big flash.

SCHEME WORKED OUT WELL
How Host Made Pretty Sure That
unweIcome Guest Would Not
Attend Engagement Party.

The problem. was how to invite a.
certain young woman to the engage
ment party and still be certain that
she would decline to attend. She
was known to be killjoy, but if
she were not invited she would talk
of it.
About two weeks prior to the
party the couple managed to bring
together the young woman and
masculine acquaintance of theiEs.
After the proper introduction the in
nocent young man and the young wo-
man were left alone. ~
The following week the young man
received two theater tickets from his
acquaintance who was to be engaged,
who said he would not be able to use
them himself. Three days later the
young woman received an invitation
to the party. -.
Hes q nice fellow" ran part Of
the letter in answer to the engage
ment party invitation, land he has
asked me to accompany him to the
theater on the very evening Of your
party. would like to come to your
party, but I gave him my promise
before received your invitation, so
you see how it is: I do hope you
will excuse me:''--New York Sun.

TO TAKE PLACE OF GASOLINE
Prizes Offered for Invention Of Fuel
That Shall Be Less Costly
and as Useful.

The rapid increase in the use of au-
tomobiles, motortrucks and motor
propelled agricultural machinery, to-
gether with the high cost of gasoline
In France, has brought about much
study of the possible use of other mo-
tive fuels which might be manufac-
tured from native materials at lower
cost to the consumer than gasoline.
At the annual meeting of the Agri-
cultural society at Bezfers, a commit
tee was authorized to organize COM
petition with view to discovering a
practical and economical motor fuel
with alcohol as the basis Of it's COM
position. Prizes totaling 100000
francs have been placed at the dis
position of the committee, of which
amount 100000 francs will be award
ed to the competitor whose product
gives the best results The competi-
ton will be open from January to
March, 1922.
While the motor fuel sought for is
intended for consumption in, the exist
ing type of. motor engines, a product
which could be employed in modi-
fed type Of engine will be considered.

Giants.


From Nature we learn .of recent
meeting Of the British association,
wherein it was brought out that the
popular conception is untrue regard
ing power Of giants and the mag
nificent types of masculinity which
they are supposed to be. Statistics
were presented to show that giants
were relatively feeble, usually, short
lived, and, in the majority, Of cases,
devoid Of those features peculiar to
masculinity. Giganticism was said to
be identified with abnormal conditions
OF two small organs located. at the
base OF the brai the thyroid gland
and the pituitary body. The oyerac-
.tivity Of these, preceding or near the
period Of birth, is the primary cause.

Both Hard and Soft Coal Workers
Called Out April | For First
Time in Labor History.
100000 men AFFECTED.
Order Directs Miners to Cooperate
With Operators in Protection Of
Mine Property and counseIed
Against All Violence. e..

indianapolis, Ind.-Suspension of
work by all union coal workers at mid
night, March 81, was ordered by Of
ficers Of the United Mine Workers of
America, the call being the first ever
issued for both bituminous and an.
thracite workers to walk. out stimuli
taneously.> Six hundred thousand men
will be directly affected by the order
it was estimated officially. The sus.
pension, the order provided, will con
tinue until stopped by union officials
The order, which was sent to the
5000 local unions, directed the miners
to give the operators their fullest CO.
operation in the protection of mine
property and counseled against v1o
lence and violations of the law. In
addition to affecting all union miners
in the United States the order
also directed approximately $3.50
union men in Western Canada to join
in the walkcut, but did not apply to
the $4,000 mine workers in Nova SEQ.

Sympathetic Strike Rejected.
Never before in the history of the
coal industry has a suspension or
strike order called for cessation OF
work by all union miners in the Uni
ted States. In the past wage con.
tracts in the bituminous and anthra.
cite fields have not expired at the
same time. but a complete tieup in
union fields was considered during
the greatest anthracite strike in 1902
A sympathetic strike by the bitumi.
nous miners at that time was rejected
by the unions convention, it being
argued that the soft coal workers
were bound by a contract.
The issuance of the call came with
the recent strike vote of soft coal
miners not completely tabulated, but
it was said officially that the work of
the unions board of tellers had pro-
crossed to such point as to show
every field voting overwhelmingly in
favor of suspension. Indications
were that nine-tenths of the miners
favored the walkout.
Up to Policy Committee.
Cessation of the suspension in
whole or in part is left to the unions
policy committee, composed of more
than 100 union officials, which will
meet in Cleveland to consider plans
for conducting the strike. Outstand.
ing among the questions to be con.
sidered by the committee is that of
negotiating single state wage agree
ments. A division with the commit.
tee on this question seems certain,
with indications that majority will
oppose the single-state proposition.

Statement by New York At
torney Regarding Meet.

Washington Senate debate on the
four-power Pacific. treaty touched it's
high water mark of bitterness in an
exchange resulting from suggestions
OF secret British-American. under
standing for future cooperation.
Aroused by recurring references to
such an International understanding
after. its existence had been directly
denied, Senator Lodge Of Massachu-
sets. the Republican leader and a
member of the American arms delega-
ton, took the floor and in voice
shaken by emotion declared he could
no longer be patient under attacks
which seemed to, question his patriot
ism and impugn his honor.
Reply by Robinson. -
Replying in fashion scarcely less
dramatic, Senator Robinson; Demo
crat, Arkansas, an opponent of. the
treaty, told the Senate he questioned
no ones motives, but proposed to do
his patriotic duty as he saw it with
out permitting himself to be ''intimi-
dated by outbursts of indignation"
He remained convinced, he said, that
both of the Senate's representatives
on the delegation were "amazingly ig-
norant' of some things done at the
conference.
The exchange between Senators
Lodge and Robinson, which was part
of long debate sown broadcast with
charges of ISLANDERS" "untruths' and
propaganda" took place shortly af-
ter the Republican leader and other
prominent figures in his party organ
ization had canvassed the whole
treaty situation at White House
conference with President Harding
New Yorker Quoted.
Suggestion of "a British-American
understanding for future concerted
action was thrown into the Senate de-
bate by Senator Borah, Republican,
Idaho, who read a statement regard
ing the conference results he said had
been made by Paul D. Cravath, a New
York attorney. In this statement Mr.
>Cravath was quoted as saying he had
been told "by every member of the
American delegation that the con-
ference resulted in: an unwritten un-
derst landing between the United
States. and Great Britain of such a
character. that both sides assume
that in all future emergencies they
can both count On. having the very
closest COOPERATION,
The accuracy Of this assertion was
promptly denied by Senator Lodge and
by Senator Underwood, the Demo-
cratic leader; and also a member Of
the American delegation. Senator
Underwood said he, did not recall ever
having met Mr.. Cravath and Senator
Lodge declared he: never talked with
him on the subject. Both asserted
positively and directly that SO far as
they knew no such understanding: ex-
listed or over had, been discussed. -
