The Infants CRY

JUST at this moment when the infant beet sugar indus
j try is Justify sending forth its S. o. S in the direction
Ca President CAL there forth selling circular from
New York brokerage firm that shows how easy it is for
coddled infant to set up howl at the sight of
safety pin.
The Great Western Sugar Co. Incorporated in 1905
and being "the largest producer of beet sugar in the
United States, has stock for SALE the brokerage
urges The company and operates is beet
sugar factories in Colorado Montana, Wyoming and
Nebraska with annual capacity in of 100000
100-pound bags of sugar That identifies It. Now for its
message to prospective purchasers of stock:
The circular says that "for the eight years ended
February 90 1924 net earnings after depreciation fed
era at present rates and preferred dividends
aged S12.76 per share" Further "n the year ending
February 3d. 1924 such net earnings amounted TO S1799
per share" That looks healthy-eh? But let's go
According to the balance sheet of May 81, 1924
rent amounted to S45255i75 which compares with
current liabilities of $685. 35, leaving net working
capital of S43717240, amount equal to nearly and
one-haf times the outstanding stock of the company
Poor poor infant
But what of dividends? Not much except that, for
nearly eight years last past these dividends have
aged an amount equal to about $3.50 per share the
number of common shares outstanding. Dividends
are now being paid the annual rate of IS per share
or about 80 per cent. Quite tidy investment, it may
be concluded
Yet the beet sugar crying aloud that any low
erlng of the sugar tariff will ruin their industry They
want to go paying duty of two cents pound on
sugar imports in order that they may reve in the riches
the Great Western company proudly boasts-when 1t
desires to sell stock These infant industries do need
a lot of pap and sugar pums at public expense.

Animated Drawings for Movies
Made Rapidly With Celluloid

Animated cartoons do not move!
OF course they appear to move, but
that Is only an Illusion. The action
In an animated comic is produced be-
cause the camera shows still pictures
of the different stages of a certain
movement in such rapid succession
that you think you see the movement
itself.
Gertte, dinosaur. had the distinc-
tion Of being the first animated car
toon heroine. Windsor McCay. an art
list, about fifteen years ago hit upon
the Idea Of making moving cartoons,
SO he worked out the story of Gertie,
a prehistoric animal, who walked
along a bank, only to be hit on the
head by cocoanut which a monkey
in a tree threw at him. Mr. McCay
went TO about ten times as much work
as was necessary in making this car
toon series. for each picture he made
was a separate drawing with a back
ground sketched in. He also at
tempted to figure out the action by
mathematics. Said he: "If the mon
key pitches the cocoanut when the
dinosaur begins to walk forward,
where will the dinosaur be when the
cocoanut strikes him?" IT was just
like a problem in arithmetic and took
a great deal of figuring to get the an
swer
Tho animated cartoonist today
would work the action backward He
would first make the sketch Of the
cocoanut hitting, then draw the pic
ture just before it hit, then the one
previous to that. till he had worked
back to the first one, where the cocoa
nut started to fly through the air
And the pictures today of the action
would be drawn on celluloid and each
photographed over one single picture
of the setting, which was drawn on
paper. Moreover. only the part of the
picture which moved would be re-
drawn each time. If the head moved
the head movements.
Wallace Carlson had an animated
cartoon which created sensation in
1914 during the time the Boston
Braves played the Philadelphia Ath-
letics for the world series title. He
showed moving cartoons Of the games
as they were played each day within
twenty-four hours after they took
place. Such u great deal of work is
involved in the making OF an animat-
ed cartoon that peopie marveled how
this stunt was done. The truth of the
matter Is that the drawings had been
made weeks ahead with two endings
for each picture. If the Braves won.
the other ending was thrown away.
Any unusual plays that were made on
Evening star., 1924-06-01

certain day were quickly drawn UP
and inserted
In an ordinary movie a foot Of reel
is shown per second. There are six
teen pictures to the foot, so you can
figure out the number it would take
to make a story lasting ten minutes
on the screen. In animated pictures.
however, each drawing is photo
graphed twice, SO that the artist
makes eight pictures for a foot of
reel. Animateds can be a little more
jerky than ordinary pictures, and it
only makes them funnier.
II one person by himself made the
entire drawings for one of the weekly
animated animal stories you see on
the screen, it would take all his time
for about ten weeks. But the artists
who produce these have helpers. With
a dozen workers and by using the
present celluloid method, the cartoon
ist is able to turn out an animated
funny for each weeks theater audi
ence.
