Says Good Will and
Respect Will Hold
Between u. S. and Japs

Boston, Dec. 15-(AP)-Japan's re-
lations with America are established
upon the solid foundations of mutual
good will and mutual respect, Tsuneo
Matsudaira, Japanese ambassador to
the United States, said in an address
tonight at dinner given in his hon.
or by the Japan Society of Boston.
Japan cherishes fond memory Of
the good offices Of late President The
odore Roosevelt in the conclusion of
peace with Russia" he said. "She
knows that her scientific, education
al, industrial and commercial devel-
opment Is in no small extent due to
American assistance and cooperation.
But perhaps the greatest Of your
friendly acts came when the Ameri-
can government and people hurried
to Japan's relief two and half years
ago, after Toxic had been visited by
an unprecedented earthquake and
confiagration with all their horrors
and narrowing effects. The sympathy
and generosity so spontaneously ex-
pressed drove home to the hearts of
the japanese more forcibly than ever
before that American friendship was
genuine and sincere"
Greetings were read at the dinner
from President Coolidge. Henry w.
Taft. president of the Japan Society
of New York, and others. and Presi-
dent Faunce Of Brown University
was among the speakers.

Elm City Attorney
Delivers Address
On Juvenile Crime

H. G. Marden, Wateryille attor-
ney, delivered an address before the
Waterville Lions Club at the Eumwood
Hotel last evening on crime, especially
as 1t is found among Juveniles.
In speaking of the great amount of
space which the papers are each day
giving to crime in some form, Mr..
Marden said that in nine items which
he had clipped from the papers during
a period of four days 20 of the people
mentioned had been between the ages
of IL and 20 years. Despite the preva-
lence of youth in crime, Mr.. Marden
said, no one has as yet been able to
suggest a correction.
The speaker told his hearers that
practically all instances of youth In
crime the misdemeanors or cAnes
could be traced back to some first in
stance of dishonesty.
Crimes are oftentimes easily traced
to instincts or early environment, he
said. Among animals these instincts
are familiar and they are not greatly
different among human beings.
According to Mr.. Marden there are
four instincts which lead to crime
more than do others, and these are
hunger, fear, curiosity and accumula-
ton. The speaker explained that in
stfncts change as one grows older and
they are usually raised to a higher
plane as one gains experience in home
and school life.
In closing, Mr.. Marden spoke Of the
Importance of proper home life for
the young and he cited a number of
very interesting incidents in this phase
of the matter.

20 Post Office Bulletin

Attention is again directed to the
fact that there will be no city deliv-
cry, village delivery or rural delivery
of mails on Christmas Day. and that
the post office windows will not be
open at any time on that day.
For the first time, post office en-
ployees are to be allowed q Holiday
with their families on Christmas
Day, and only such employees will
be on duty as necessary to make the
regular dispatches of first-class mail,
and to receive but not to distribute
incoming mails.
Only Special Delivery and perish
able mail matter will be delivered
Christmas Day. Therefore, all mail
matter deposited at the Waterville
Post Office on Thursday, December
Gath, and intended for delivery at any
other post office on Christmas Day
December oath. and intended for de-
livery at any other post office on
Christmas Day must bear a special
delivery stamp, or sufficient in extra
stamps to pay for that service.
Address plainly. AS many substi-
tutes are employed as extras during
the Christmas rush, who lack the ex-
perience of the regular employees. it
is absolutely essential that full and
complete addresses, including both
street and number. be given on all
mail matter. Over 21,000,000 pieces
of mail matter were received at the
dead letter offices last year due to the
failures of senders to address mail
plainly and fully with ink, and to
place the name and address of the
sender on all mail.
Mail Early. Mail early in the fore
noon, when possible. Our rush
hours begin by 4 o'clock P. NJ. under
normal conditions, and during the
Christmas season the Office is seri-
ously congested at best. Don't add to
it.
Late Mailing. Every parcel or
piece of mail matter should be in the
mails before Thursday, December
oath: II not, 1t should bear special
delivery stamp to ensure delivery on
or before Christmas. Remember,
please. that no mail of any kind or
matter, except Special Delivery and
Perishable matter will be delivered
or distributed on Christmas Day,
1925.

Movies Aided BY
Trick Photography

Hollywood, Dec. ID. - (AP) - The
movie public has many illusions that
are carefully created by thick photo
graphy and the versatility Of sngi-'
neers.
These secrets Of the trade conservs,
millions of dollars annually in the
budgets OF producers. The directors
point out, however, that they are not
evolved to deceive the theatre-goer,
nor primarily with the idea of saving
money, but often are necessary be-
cause 1t would be impossible to stage
the actual scene demanded in the
script.
In the Photographic tricks, the most
indispensable perhaps, is the glass
ceiling" illusion. This Is a device Of
painted glass placed slightly above the
camera lens. On the sheet Of glass,
ceilings, domes or roofs are painted to
correspond with the actual set.
This glass work Is necessary be-
cause of the lighting demanded by
the camera. The roofs or upper parts
Of the set are not constructed. Instead.
strong flood lights are placed there.
Wrecks Of ocean liners are enacted
in a small tank in the studio. Howling
gales are provided by mechanical wind
machines. The ocean" Is dashed to
fury by paddles, and the toy liner.
perhaps 10 inches in length. is tossed
about on the waves by wires in the
hands Of studio assistants.
If the story calls for an explosion
to sink the boat, q dynamite cap

A recent example Of miniature illu-
sion was enacted in q picture Of mon
strous prehistoric beasts. On the
screen they appeared to weigh tons.
and moved with life-like ease. Before
the camera they were models is
inches high, composed of rubber and
papier-mache, their movements manip-
ulated by invisible wires.
When the movie spectator sees &C.
tors struggling perilously near the
brink Of a precipice or on the cornices
of tall building. he may be witness
ing a scene "shot" in two different
places. The fight may have taken
place on the studio floor, and the
camera man may later have photo
graphed the precipice or roof corner on
the same strip of film,
Fogs are formed in the studio by .

Adept with high explosives, the en-

Swift Justice Is
Best Remedy for y
Hating Crime Wave

Boston, Dec. 15.--(AP)--Justice A.
E. Arsenault of the supreme court OF
Prince Edward Island. who spoke be-
fore the Intercolonial Club here to-
night, told interviewers that "the only
remedy for a crime wave is efficient
prosecution and convictions to create a
gertrude that conviction will mean
prompt punishment"
'We have made Canada an unhealthy
place for the criminal. Recently we
had a little crime wave inMontreal.
We hanged six thugs there and the
crime was stopped.
1.-THE criminal will think twice IL he
sees very little chance OF. escaping pun
ishment through inefficient presecu-
ton or law"
Declaring that he did not want to
appear critical of American courts
Justice Arsenault said he believed Ca
madam courts were less congested than
those of America, partly because Of the
lack of liquor cases.
