We Women
The Pendulum

The Pendulum SEE no necessity for mothers to or
 ganize and become affiliated with
 the American Federation of Labor. Nevertheless the argument has been made that mothers and wives should be paid a fixed salary by their husbands for the endless duties they are called upon to perform.
 But how would the size of the wages be determined? And suppose there were a serious difference of opinion between the parties concerned as to what constituted a fair wage?
 In an entirely material way it is the woman who gives and gives and gets little in return beyond board and keep and clothes. Her job from the begin ming of married life increases in it's se- verity and grows more complicated. Her home and family may grow larger, but her compensation remains the same, which under the present arrangement is nothing or approximately nothing.
 After all, the business of being a mother and housewife is an exacting and rodous one. It is the same thing and same work day after day, a terrible monOtonous drudgery when everything is said and done. It becomes light and interesting only when the incentive is alive.
 A well regulated home is certainly as essential to a business man as a well regulated office and in so far as the office help receives pay it seems to me no more than fair, as contened that the home organization should also be rewarded.
 A mans stenographer is not a privi- legged character.
 There are some things to be done in the development of this idea. Organiza- tion is probably necessary, but while am sympathetic with the underlying purpose of the American Federation of Labor, am opposed at this time to the utilization of wives with that body.
 Husbands, too, could organize Wouldn't it be terrible if their organiza- tion walked out on a strike the same time we did
 wonder if strike breakers would have to be called in?
 In contemplating the possibilities of the wages-for-wives proposition 1 am ! moved to the conclusion that we are perhaps better off just as we are.

Little Esther was hardly more than
a baby, but she objected when bed
time came around, as children will.
Finally, father offered to lie down on
the bed until she was asleep, and for a
while everything was quiet
The minutes passed-ten, fifteen,
twenty, and mother, sitting in the par
Tor, wondered why father didn't re-
turn. She continued her sewing, how
ever, and presently the silence was
broken by the pit-a-pat of naked feet.
Next moment Esther appeared in the

NOTICE

NOIlCE
To the taxpayers of Randolph county:
Owing to the fact that there is quite
a lot of dissatisfaction among the tax
payers of the Western Randolph Couu-
ty Road Improvement District, and
that there is now a move on foot to
stop the collection of this tax which
cannot he determined for several days,
and in view of this fact but few tax
payers win pay their land tax in the
above mentioned district until they are
thoroughly convinced that there is no
way to avoid the payment of same,
And from the further fact that the
time for the payment of taxes is fast
passing away and but few have paid,
am making special appeal to all
parties who have only personal prop
erty to pay on, to come in at once and
pay so as to avoid the rush that is
sure to come on the last.
Also would suggest to the citizens
of the Black river bottoms and the
Cherokee Bay country, that you come
in and pay as soon as you can well do
so. As you all know, according to law
the tax books must close on the 10th
day of April and under the law and
other existing circumstances | will be
compelled to close the tax books on
the above date.
1t will not he necessary for you to
come to my Office to pay your taxes.
Just write me and give me the mum
bers of your land if you have land,
and if you have no land just say what
township you were assessed in and
will mail you statement and you can
pay through the mail.
Also am again calling attention to
the fact that there is yet quite num-
Der of automobiles that have not been
registered and have no licenses. | am
sure that no one wants to violate the
law knowingly but if anyone should
run ear for which no license has been
applied he is violating the law and will
he prosecuted without fear or favor.
There is now n penalty of $l5 on all
cars that were in possession of anyone
except a dealer on the 10th day of
January and the law compels me to
collect this penalty the same as the
regular license fee.
From the fact that any party should
buy or trade for any car, except
new ear from a dealer, does not re-
lieve the penalty. as the penalty is
against the car and not the party who
owns the car.
Therefore anyone owning a car at
this date will have 10 pay the above
penalty in order that he may secure
license for the remainder of the year
However. you are not violating the
law by not taking out license if you
don't run your car.
Trusting that each and every one
that any of the above applies to will
consider the matter and while you are
helping yourself you are helping
the collector.
am yours for good service,
Bob Gullett,
sheriff and Collector of Randolph
County.

New Camera Technique.
A NEW technique is being evolved

A NEW technique is being evolved
in motion pictures.
Cecil b. DeMille is one of the prin-
cipal exnerimenters with this new
plan. To take several scenes at once.
he had six different cameras trained
on a spot eight feet long and four
feet wide. The cameras occupied two
sides of square. By shooting from
such a variety of different angles
and with different lenses the players,
turning first one way and then an
other In the narrow space, were able
to act continuously several scenes
treated separately in the script The
six cameras would not all click at one
time. They were timed so as to get
just the particular action suitable for
their special lens and position.
by this means" states Mr.. De
Mile, 1--WE get all the advantage of
unbroken action. The players, with
more to do. have a better opportunity
to get the real feel OF the sequence.
And. worked out to it's logical con-
clusion, this technique can be a great
time saver"

Longest Single Scene.

THE longest single scene ever
filmed for motion pictures was
made by Herbert Brenon during work
upon THE Breaking Point
The taking of the scene occupied
eleven minutes, during which con-
tinuous action on the part of twelve
players was watched by the director.
RehearsalS occupied six hours.
Nita Naldi. Patsy Ruth Miller. Matt
Moore and Theodore Won EltZ are
featured. George Fawcett was the
only one of the featured players who
did not appear.
Six cameras were used during the
eleven minutes Of action, only three
shooting simultaneously. AS the or
dinary film magazine holds only 400
feet, it was necessary for the relay
cameras to. begin just before the film
in the first three camera magazines
was exhausted.
The Breaking Point was adapted
for the screen by Julie Herne and
Edfrid Bingham from Mary Roberts
Rinehart's novel.

= Three RS of Movies.
sTHE three RS of motion picture

@THE three RS of motion pictures
are the rehearsal, the retake and
the recut," says Herbert Brenon.
Just as reading, 'riting and 'rith-
fnetic' are the basis of education,
so the rehearsal, the retake and the
recut are the basis of perfection in
the motion picture" declares the di-
rector.
Every scene is carefully rehearsed
by the director as preliminary.
When the scene is filmed it is shown
to the producer and the players in
i the projection room. The actors are
then able to study their, work closely
and observe wherein they are sue
'ceeding or falling short. If the scene
IS not satisfactory it is retaken. the
players taking advantage of what
they have learned through observing
themselves actually in action.
Motion picture players enjoy this
unique advantage alope among pro-
5essional performers" says Herbert
Brenon.

cues. forgotten lines. false notes and
