under a new ihemiial process in
use at the M-G-M studios.
Here disappointment and disil-
lusionment is converted into cash.
In the "silver ROOM where
trims" as they are called-scenes
cut out of picture plays as they
are edited, and all surplus film
is put thru a chemical bath which
recovers the silver from the film

The basis Of sensitive film is
nitrate of silver; under simple
treatment the useless film gives
this up and it is precipitated into
metallic powder which has con-
siderable value.
A ton of this discarded film
yields approximately $50 in silver.
Every day actors bewail the evil
done by the cutters-the men who
bring films to the required foot
age by cutting out surplus acton
in scenes; and, usually, most of
the work Of the complaining ac-
tors.
These "trims" are carefully sew

ket.

the industry could never repay the

ATTEMPTING TO
"JAZZ UP" SERMONS
limited News)

UNITED NeWSJ
LONDON, Move. 14.-Thruout
England today the Episcopal cler,
gy are burning the midnight oil
in an attempt to 'jazz up their
sermons as a result of the warn
ing of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury that "unless the poor stand
ard of present-day preaching IS
improved, still scantier congrega-
tions could be looked for"
More study, wider reading, and
bigger note books, he said, were
indispensable before clergymen
could hope to interest and hold a
modern congregation.
'sIt can easily be described as
intolerable," he continued, that
we clergy should leave it to the
dailv newspapers and the popu-
lar novelists to give guidance and
to suggest sturdy thought. / am
glad that they do suggest and sup
ply it, but where are we who have
been accredited to the duty? The
taunt is quite easy, but it is not
altogether fair"
It was not too much to say, he
went on, that the congregation of
an English parish church Of today
is in a different field from that
in which our fathers spoke and
listened, adding:
"Yet beyond question the prea
cher's place in that field is very
often very poorly filled. Com
plants of the inadequacy Of our
sermons are rife, and the fact Of
the inadquacy is beyond dispute.
"Every clerical meeting harps
upon the fact Of our sparser con-
.gregatons. There are many rea-
sons for that-bicycles, golf, mo-
tors, Sunday newspapers but
personally, / put among the first
causes the fact that our average
Church Of England sermons have
not kept pace with educational
advance, or with the average man
and woman's wider interest in all
sorts Of human knowledge and
world affairs.
"The only remedy for the sit
uation is more midnight oil; or
better still. more forenoon hours
with closed doors, steadv if mis-
cellaneous study and big note
books.
"With al nv soul would URGE
upon those whose ministry is still
Young and nlsst'c that thew should
turn not only their thoughts but
their efforts in the direction of
wider, deeper study.
"In the old days the preacher,
as an educated man, stood ma
turallly on a higher level than his
hearers. That is no longer and the
disheartened parish priest falls
back naturally upon what seems
to him the easier task of talking
about the Gospel message, or per-
haps the Church's message IN per-
haps the very simplest words.
"They are merely simple with
out much thought behind them;
they may degenerate nto the very
thinness Of thought, which the ed
ucated hearer not unnaturallv re-
sents.
"All this forces upon us the
paramount necessity which rests
upon us in our schools and col
leges to see to it that the minis
try is rightly manned"

AMERICANS LOSE
THE ART OF DRINKING

(How do Americans who go
abroad do their drinking these
DAYS? Here's an opinion by an
expert, Harry Craddock, an Amer
lean. Head Bar Tender at the
Savoy in London and widely
known among international drink
ers. He says Americans have lost
the art of drinking.)
By Harry Craddock
Head Bartender, Savoy Hotel
Written for the United News)
LONDON, Nov. 14.-Prohibi-
ton has made America, alcholical-
ly speaking, nation of butter and
egg men.
/ mixed the last legal drink
served in New York, and millions
before that. The last final hour
was striking at the old Holland
House bar on Fifth Avenue when
Hughie Chilvers, the operate sing
e, ordered the last one; and | had
to do it quick. / still have the
check for it framed over the bar
here.
I can look back at the time
when we were unsurpassed as
serious drinkers. / don't mean as
souses; have no use for them. |
mean the men who made a sort Of
study of their drinking-when to
drink, what to drink, how much
to put in the glass, how much
water to take.
There are few of them left; at
least they don't come over here.
Every drinking day to the travel
ling American seems like state
convention. Every drink is an
event.
In the old days there used to be
sort of simple dignity about drink
ing that is lacking now. Every
time anybody thinks of taking a
drink it is regarded as bright
idea. Backs are slapped and
everybody shouts. You know the
sort of stuff we used to save for
trips to the conventions at the
state capital.

ting to be. But maybe if what
the papers say about crime IS true
it ought to be butter and yegg
men.
And we are becoming a nation
of coctail drinkers. We invented
the coctail and made it what it is,
but we used to keep it in it's place.
Almost everybody seems to drink
them now all the time. People
don't seem to like ordinary whis-
key any more.
I suppose it's because the stuff
they are selling at home is too
rotten to drink straight, and peo-
pie have to mix it up 60 get some
thing that combines a reasonably
pleasant taste with kick. Then
when they come over here where
there's plenty of good stuff. they
find their taste for straight drinks
spoiled. It's pity.
I don't think there can be any
doubt that as drinkers we are de-
teriorating. It doesn't seem res
pectable. somehow, the way we do
our drinking now.

WEIGHT, SAYS
DAIRYEXPERT

Even dairymen who keep pretty close
records of the feed consumed and milk,
produced by their cows often fail to
realize the Importance of keeping track
of the animals weight. So declares
Charles Staff, an authority ON the feed
ing and care Of cattle, writing in the
March issue Of "The Larro Dairyman."
The weight of COW, says MIR. Stan,
not only is o good index to the kind OF
care and feed she is getting, but in
variably flashes q danger signal when
other troubles arise which could not be
quickly detected ip other wsys-
For this reason The urges tha& dairy
men weigh each COW at two-week inter-
walls and never rely on guesSwork to
tell whether she iSin good health and
condition.
Commenting on this phase Of dairy
ing, Mr.. staff says: "A dairy cow in
good flow of milk is not supposed to be
fat, though she ought to Be, in good
condition The ideal is steady, even
weight until within four months Of
calving, and then q gradual increase in
weight. When the COW Is dry she win
quickly put on flesh and fat.n properly
fed.
"If during the main period Of lacta-
ton she seems to be falling of inlweight,
then slight increase in quantity OF
feed will often be sufficient to turn the
tables. often an extra couple pounds
of hay will be sufficient Q little
more silage Out be careful Of over
feeding SHAGGY, and sometimes an extra
pound Of feed is necessary.
Usually the increase m weight Is
obtained by not decreasing the feed
quite so fast az the milk production
falls off. For instance, in the case OF
Holstein COWS the feed early in lacta-
ton should be at the rate Of pound
of feed for pounds Of milk, q little
later l to so, then still later / to 3,
and toward the close of lactation to
~. When the COW is dry 6 pounds of
feed daily will supply nourishment for
the unborn calf and build up the COW
herself, so that when she freshens she
can be fed lightly and still produce o
big flow Of milk.
IA dairyman who will weigh his cows
every two weeks, has an opportunity Of
finding out if j COW is troubled with
some sickness or disease that may mot
yet have manifested itself. A steady
falling off In weight Is . danger signal,
if the animal is properly ted"
