BULGARIANS MUST
WORK FOR STATE
Labor Service Required Be-
tween Ages of 20 and 40,

SOFIA, July 7. - An official sum-
mary Of the Bulgarian law regard
ing compulsory labor service states
that "all able-bodied Bulgarians not
legitimately entitled to exemption
must perform a certain amount Of
work on behalf Of the State.
Under the amended act the maxi
mum period of service is eight months
for men and four months for women
and may be demanded at any age be-
tween 20 and 40 years for men and
Is and 80 years for women. The Gov
ernment may demand that the service
shall be rendered all one one single
occasion, or on several separate oc-
casions. 1t may happen that only a
part or none Of the, service will be
required. Normally however, every
person win be called UP.
when the government considers 1t
advisable. It may decree that the
services of the adult population, be
tween the above specified ages, OF the
whole country or Of a subdivision,
shall for a limited period be placed
at the disposal of the communes,
with a view to carrying out work Of
common interest. Any commune may,
on its own authority. raise the age
limit of those subject to service to
so years without sex distinction. Serv-
Ice of this kind is compulsory only
ur to a maximum Of 81 days per an
mum in ALL"
The official statement points out
that these two sets of rules have
scarcely anything in common" On
the one hand, there is a single serv-
ice lasting several months, due from
individuals, which would normally be
required of every citizen; on the other,
collective obligation for an indefi-
mite number Of periods of service of
a few days each. which would be
determined every year by the gov
ernment.

Many Issues.

BU United FtndncfdI
NEW YORK. July with the
lifting of the selling pressure, the
curb market proved hstless in the
short session today until just before
the close when some substantial gains
were recorded.
Several spurts appeared on the tape,
Illinois Pipe Line climbing TO 1872,
Goodyear to IL. Cities Service to 1874
and Gillette to 244.
Oils in the main showed only frac-
t:onal changes either way. Imperial
Oil Of Canada and Illinois Pipe stood
out with full point gain over the
previous close. Standard of Indiana,
which has shed its consistent per
formance as the weak member of the
OF! group. picked up another small
gain.
In the industrials American Light

HAVE AMERICAN
MOVIES CHANGED
LIFE OF NATION?

NEW YORK, July 7. = Is Edison
right? Has an invention so pro
foundly affected tn life of a Nation
in so brief a period2 What power
lies with this vast organization? And
how is that power being used?
The answers are difficult to find.
Yet 1t cannot be contradicted that the
motion pictures reach a vast audience
daily and that a huge and intricate
mechanism has been constructed to
hold and to extend the grip on that
audience.
1t has generally been assumed that
the presence in the social body of this
machinery Of continual Interchange.
OF ever renewed appeal to the emo
tons and the intellect. would have
some influence on the mental habits,
outlooks, customs of the people, might
indeed be employed as force for in
fiuencing. guiding and instructing
public opinion. That this assumption
Is proper one is undoubtedly true,
And yet up to the present the data
upon which conclusions of this order
can be based are of the vaguest type.
Research has hardly yet discovered
this great and potent field Of social
psychology, much less plumbed it.
It is only by broad generaIzadons
that we can give any estimate of the
powers thus released into the hands
CT men who are as surprised to find
themselves welding this power as
the public is to find 1t existing.
There are in round numbers in the
United States about IS, 900 theaters
given over to motion pictures AS a
mass agency Of popular appeal this
number is to be compared to about
$500 daily papers and 1000 public
libraries. The number OF newspapers
of all types. daily, tri-weekly,N semi.
weekly and weekly, Is still something
more than a thousand less than the
number of motion picture theaters.
Total publications of all types run
to only 1900 more than the number
Of motion picture theaters.

Goldfield was dorpped back into the

A wanering prospector years ago
caught in the desert and lost, fell to

Joy, in his hands he held gold. He

MARVEL SHAFT At
CARNEGIE TECH
DEF|ES ALL LAWS

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July Z. - A
little piece of steel mechanism in Ma
hcinery Hall, Carnegie Institute OF
Technology, today def1ed all hitherto
known laws In mechanical engineer
ing and demonstrated the harnessing
and application Of a mechanical
power apparently never before known.
The little power maker was simply
a section of cased shaft. The driv-
ing end of the shaft, turnoj by five
horsepower motor, was speeded up to
1000 revolutions a minute. The
other end of the shaft was turning
at the rate Of only five revolutions an
hour and developing power which it
had been impossible to measure. 1t
has been tested up to the lift of twelve
tons. All this miracle in reductica
in speed and gain Of power is accom
plished IN a single-gear unit.
The new principle makes it pos
sible to do away with all the conpli-
Gated trains Of gears in automobiles,
hoists, air oompressors, rock break
ers, belt conveying machines, eleva-
tors, mechanical stokers, metal shear
ing and punching machines, spinning

In it's simplest form the new gear

this driving or high-speed shaft on
its outside circumference turns be-
tween three or four rollers, one or
two Of which are larger tnan the 9TH

of a steel ring, slightly Off center. AS
the inner rollers turn on the high
speed shaft, the out ring Eecomes the
driving gear. The difference In the
diameters of the parts establishes the
rate of reduction in speed and in
crease in power.
The larger roller or rollers oonttn-
ually try to maintain their position In
