small attachment is placed on the
standard motion picture machine.
This attachment contains a small in
eardescent lamp which is placed in
front of the photographed sound
waves on the films. This light, pass
ing through the sound record, falls
upon photo-electric cell, it's bril-
liancy being governed by the densi-
ty of the photographed sound waves.
The photo electrical cells electrical
resistance at any instant is deter
mined by the amount of light fall
ing upon it.
''The telephone current from the
cell is the n passed through the au-
dion amplifier, where it is built uE
hundreds of thousands of times
Thus, the actors words are convert
ed into the telephone currents, am
plified, photographically registered
on the film and eventually trans.
formed back again into telephone
currents which are made audible by
the loud speaker.
GAS the motion picture must be
projected upon screen to be viewed
it is likewise necessary to project
the sound in order hat it may appear
to come from the actors lips. This
is done by running lamp cord from
the machine to the screen where a
loud speaker is attached"

COLD SPELL WORTH
MILLIONS TO SOUTH

ATLANTA, A word of cheer
for southern states in the grip
of the cold wave sweeping the
country was offered here by C.
F. Won Hermann meteorologist
at the United States weather bu-
reau, who said that the below
freezing temperatures existing in
the cotton belt states were poten
TALLY worth millions of dollars
to southern farmers
Mr.. Won Hermann said the
extremely low temperatures had
already wrought havoc in the
ranks of the alternating bool
weevil and other cotton and plant
insect pests.

SCHOOL FOR T. B. NURSES
ENTERS ITS TENTH YEAR

Sanatorium, Jan. 4th.-The Train
ing School for Nurses of the North
Carolina Sanatorium for the treat
ment of tuberculosis enters this
month upon the tenth year of it's
work. Since the organization of the
nurses training school in 1914 as a
feature of the Sanitorium service
a large number of young women, have
become tuberculosis nurses and have
entered into a wide field of useful
ness where hitherto trained nurses
were not often to be found.
The Sanatorium Training School,
according to Miss Elizabeth Connolly
Superintendent of nurses at the San
atorium, is different from one in
a general hospital In the first place
the nurses for the most part are the
young women who have had tubercu-
losis and have become arrested or
duiescent cases by sanatroium treat
ment. They are given two years
course at the end of which time they
receive diploma certifying that they
are qualified to do tuberculosis nur-
sing or that they may take the third
year in a general hospital, their helth
permitting, and then become register
ed nurses.
The course of study, says Miss
Connally is the same as that given
in general hospitals and in addition
pupil nurses are required to take the
courses offered in and are required
to assist in the diet kitchen, drug
room, charting, the operating room

Baltimore Sun.

two men, alleged to have been rep
resenting' themselves as associated
with that institution and to have been
collecting large sums of money on
the pretext of curing eye trouble and
cancer.
Phe men who are said to have US
ed the names of DIR. E. M. Kelly and
DR.. Beele, are reported to be opera
ting in North and South Carolina.
Letters received by Hopkins officials
indicated that more than 81, 900 had
been collected by the pair after they
had guaranteed cure.

LEADS THE NATION In
PER ACRE PRODUCTION

Wilmington Star.
1t is safe to say that North Caro-
lima now leads all states in per acre
production, since. Commissioner Of
Agriculture w. A. Graham has sum-
med up the wonderful agricultural
progress of the state and shows that
the states 1923 record shows that
crop values climbed from $22.1O.in
1909 to $50 during the year just
ended. Tobacco averaged $3.50 per
acre, and cotton averaged 500 per
acre, despite the boil weevil, while
some farmers actually averaged 5000
per acre with cotton.
This state ranked fourth among
the states in the value of % leading
crops and it has kept that rating with
states a great deal larger in area
than North Carolina, where even the
acreage under cultivation is compa-
ratively smaller than it is in any of
the states which take first, second
and third places One may judge Of
the tremendous agricultural progress
of the state when it is stated in Com
missioner's Graham's annual report
that the value of staple crops in North
Carolina last year totalled $431, 400
900, compared with $131 ,O73,O0O in
1909.
For a period of IA years that is
some record. The average per acre
production in the United States was
$16.31 at the last census, compared
with S24.S0 for North Carolina.
The per acre production in the
great state of Iowa was $17.01, and
now North Carolina shows up. with
per acre production more than 3
1-2 times greater per acre produc-
ton IN the entire nation, and con-
siderably more than three times the
per acre record in Iowa.
That means of course that farm
wealth is rapidly increasing in the
state. That will help the world to
get fair idea of the INN 4nse pos
sibilities in the state North Carolina
has just begun to make progress

QUESTION: Are the long-range fore
casts of the almanacs and some of

the newspapers reliable.
Answer. The weather forecasts by
days as set forth in the many alma
macs is unquestionably based on the
willingness of many to accept with
out question most anything that ap-
pears in print. Actually such fore
casts are not based on sound princi-
pies and therefore are without any
Value whatsoever. The farmer who
attempts to carry on his business
with these forecasts to guide him
must necessarily lose rather than gain
by following them. Similar forecasts
of weather and temperature for a
long time in advance that one sees
in the newspapers should be regard
ed as not worthy of consideration and
therefore should not be followed in
planning farming operations.
