AN OBVIOUS ART
By Mr.. Il. r. NJ.

IT HE search for beauty, for truth, and
for the meaning of appearances is
not new. In sculpturing, in paint
ing, and in literature this quest has found
expression throughout the history of man.
The Babylonian dancers the early Greek
choruses are but the forerunners of the
Shakespearian stage and the modern
drama. The play is combination OF
sculpturing (or architecture) and paint
ing built about literature, with human
characters as final medium of interpre-
tation. The result of this collaboration
is more gregarious expression of art
and therefore a greater public. But COM
binations ae not exhausted. By emphasize
ing the plastic and the graphic arts, by
stressing the action involved in the story,
and by ignoring the element of time the
centre of the structure is removed and the
play becomes moving picture. That it
also becomes popular art and can be
measured by the average is to be ex-
pected-witness the decline of the short
story with the rise of popular fiction
magazines. For with the elimination of
literature as an expression in the spoken
lines, and with the perspicuity of back
ground and action the last subtilities are
effaced and the art becomes obvious.
To Thomas A. Edison as much as to any
one else is due the credit for inventing the
motion picture machine. And not alone
from Edwin S. Porter at the Edison plant
came the beginning of the motion picture
plot or story. Prior to 1900 pictures were
merely novelty, showing extracts from
popular vaudeville acts, prizehghts, or
glimpses of current events and were
shown only as conveniences between acts
of travelling shows. But the novelty
soon wore off, the demonstration that such
pictures could be made was accepted and
forgotten, the form of art that was to
create new industry upon which it
would be dependent was as yet unborn.
And as the reproduction of merely things
failed in interest, from the Melies brothers
of Paris came the production of ideas,
creations, upon the screen. French
classics were reproduced in fantastic man
ners, and the idea was copied in America.
In 1908, while the Vitagraph, the Lubin,
and the Biograph companies were still
struggling for existence, under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Porter at the Edison plant
was produced "The Great Train Rob-
berry," And here for the first time, in the
continuity of a series of events thrown
upon the SCREEN the concept of the NOV
ing pictures as means through which
a new form of artistic expression might
come, was made a reality. But the
reality of the concept, the getting of an
idea down to a working basis, and the
results from working upon that idea over
a period of twenty years are seldom very
near the original vision. Yet "The Great
Train Robbery" was sensation, and as
a beginning it brought revival of inter
est which finally attained its present
potentiality. In the same year "Hale's
Tours and Scenes of the World" was ex-
hibited at the St. Louis Exposition. Then
began the work of producing pictures with
story involved, and of perfecting the
mechanism of the picture machine.

crease has not been shown. And the
American spectacle picture has nothing
to teach the smaller features. The talent
employed in the larger productions is a
triAe higher than it has been in the past.
But beneath the mechanism, the interpre-
tation, the immense detail, the industrial
publicity motion pictures are at stand
still. Magni6cence of design, beauty of
detail, educational faculties, moral pro-
pensities, human interest, popular illusions,
these they supply and satisfy. Beyond them
they have not gone and probably cannot go.
Emotional intensity as a relative term
is apt enormously to be used collectively.
And when applied to the sensations ex-
perienced rehexively by the audience of
motion picture drama its meaning must
expand to include those illusions which
the audience is capable of feeling or else
the term cannot be used at all. So that
when sex impulse, patriotism, sentiment,
or an illogically happy combination of
make up the intensity of picture the
qualifications of the production are based
not upon its art but upon its sensational
appeal to a self-deceptive public. Art
has nothing to do with these qualifications,
nor would the public support the indus
try without them. The allotrophy must
continue as best it can.
What seems to offer the most likely al
deviation of the sterility and falsehood of
the modern motion picture lies in the
present movement towards the ipdepen-,
dent production of plays as opposed to
the industrial;sm now governing them.
Individualism as an exponent of express
sion depends of course upon the indi-
vidual, but when the expression is pro-
duced by the Vaccinations of a business
the result is fixed and advancement be-
yond the pragmatic is impossible. The'
rabblement is very easily satisfied in its
likes, but when any of its illusions are
upset the cause is at once condemned. And
since the industry is a public institution
the multitude must get what is expects.
A happy ending appended to a tragedy
or character acting in perfect accordance
with the wishes of the audience is a con-
sequence, although either event may ruin
the entire play Yet there are few
individuals, probably not more than six
in all, who have it in their power to cut
the pictures off from this sodden enthus-
iasm, cupidity, and clever insinuation into
which they have been forced. In the past
it has been these individuals who have
made the few better productions, and
therein may lie some hope. But it is the
work of pure artist of extraordinary
genius surely to overcome the handicap
of so unequally proportioned combina-
ton of art forms.

FROM STALK TO LOAF
By Mr.. C.. K. x.

RlMIllVE man was mainly an
II eater of meat. Bread constituted
but small portion of his living.
Game was handy and plentiful, and mans
habits were more or less nomadic. As
enlightenment increased, and his habits
became more and more of stable char
acter, so did his needs and desires change.
Today, therefore, with man of all climes
dependent on the agricultural populations
for their living, it is fitting that large
portion of his food should be in the form
of cereal foods, chief of which is bread,
the Staff of Life, as it is so well called.
To the miller of today, with his modern
processes for changing the grains into
-four and other products we must render
many thanks. And yet, great as is the
transformation he produces, what does it
avail, if, after all his painstaking work,
the untutored housewife spoils his pro-
ducts by her slip-shod handling?
An interesting case comes to my mind,
wherein my -four was likely to receive
black eye through the misunderstanding
of the proper way to start bread sponge.
And, while the party was a very estima-
bic young lady, as well as fine neigh
thought and acted fully as wrongly as
this younger one. 1t is well known fact
thar yeast, as we understand il, is Tiv-
ing organism that multiplies very fast un-;
der certain conditions, but is easily killed
by heating. Well, this young lady, not
fully understanding the properties of yeast
cells, made her sponge in the evening by
putting the quantity of -four she desired
to use into her bread pan in the form of
a hollow bowl, then pouring in a quantity
of boiling hot water, which destroyed
portion of the gluten in the -four, then
Tut in soaked yeast cake, and lastly added
cold water to render it cool enough to
handle. And, because she did not have
good bread she blamed the miller.
spent whole evening explaining certain
chemical facts to her and set her sponge
for her next baking. By following the
instructions l gave her she became one of
the best bread makers in that neighbor-
hood. But until the housewife gives the
chemistry of milling some thought, the
miller will be blamed for many present
day evils.
The Europeans, used to coarser
bread than we Americans can, and do
dc more hard work on an equal allow
ance of cereal foods. The chief fault, as
viewed by the milling and baking fra
ternity of today, is the ever increasing
demand of the housewife for a whittier
-four. TO this end, the miller must and
does, use certain chemicals and bleaching
agencies to give the -four chalk-2hite
color. While this may improve the color
ii does not add to the baking properties.
In fact it breaks down that certain sub
stance called gluten, which is to -four
what raw rubber is to tire patch on an
inner tube in a pneumatic tire. Gluten
in wheat holds the gas, generated during
the leavening process, in the dough, and
binds the starch cells together. Without
it bread would never be light.
While not food faddst, of the Dr..
Wiley or Prof. Ladd type, the writer
does believe that it would (Page 9. Col e.

Comparatively speaking, glareless
can be, and are made, but their
use requires a scientific adjustment
of the lens, reflector and lamp, each
to each and the whole to the running
plane of the car. Such an adjust
ment does not remain permanent;
variations in tire pressure alter it,
and jars, jolts and looseness of parts
alter the relations of the lamp and
reflector.
For the present, better designs of
lenses, greater strictness in regula-
tions as to tilt of headlights, and
newer and better designs of head
lights must be depended upon to min
imize, if not to cure the evil. But
in the future, the complete cure will
come in lighted highways.
A hundred years ago cities were
unlighted, or, if lighted at all, were
very poorly illuminated. In thous

MUSCLE SHOALS STEAM PLANT
SOLD TO FORD'S RIVALS

WashingtOn.-Henry Ford's much
c~OntrOverted offer to buy Muscle
Shoals was wholly upset when the gov
eminent sold to the Alabama Power
company the Gorgas steam plant-a
part Of the property-at a price of APP
proximately $3,500,000.
This forces a revised offer from Mr..
Ford if he wishes to bid for the re-
mainder Of the project. He previously
had informed congress that unless the
Gorgas plant were included in this
sale, his bid did not hold.
Some time ago the war department
notified Mr.. Ford that the department
of justice and the judge advocate gen.
eral Of the army had held consulta-
tiOns with the power company, which
requested the government either to
move the plant from the power com
pany's land or sell it to the company
within two months.
The actual price paid was $3,472,-
487.25, a sum agreed on in appraisals
by the ordinance division of the wal
department and experts of the federal
power commission. The wartime con
struction cost was 81 ,750.000.

ands Of small towns today the street
lamps are so few and far between
that the neighbOr pays his evening
visit equipped with a lantern. Yet
u cities are well lighted; so well
lighted that the "glare" trouble OF
headlights is easily solved by for
bidding, in cities, any but signal
headlights.
Exactly as the post office Depart
ment maintains beacons to guide its
mail fliers at night, so will the ma
tional government eventually light its
national highways at night. With the
volume of traffic which will newt
ably flow over national highways be-
tween great centers, it will be more
economical to light them from the
side, than to permit the motorist to
light his own section of the road with
an illumination which cautes acci-
dents.
