Mouing-Picture Screens

Experts of the movies have
pointed out that the screen is dark
nearly half the time picture Is
being shown. They say the eye of
the camera is so fast that the spec
tator does not notice the darkness.
Also, each picture is thrown on the
screen three times. There are six
teen pictures on every foot of film.
In front of the projection machine
Is revolving disk. This disk is
divided into six parts, three of
which allow light to travel TO the
screen. BY means of an intricate
synchronizing device this disk re-
wolves each time one of the minute
pictures stops before the opening.
Thus, each picture is shown three
times before it passes on. But all
this happens too fast for the eye
to discern The darkness of the
screen during nearly half the pic
ture is caused by the solid sections
of the disk.-Exchange.

Hunting Polar Bears
No Longer PeYilous

The old method of hunting polar
bears was as dangerous for the
hunters as it was for the bear. ac-
cording to Roy J. Smell. man Of
action and who. knows the polar
wastes of the North.
In the early hunting days. four
natives would start out together
for bear. When they located one,
all but one of the men would crawl
up close and attempt to harpoon
him. If they succeeded in sticking
the animal they would hold him by
leather thongs attached to the har-
poems, while the fourth member of
the party approached a position
where he could attack the animal
with a spear. The bear was not
always quiet and peaceful and not
infrequentIy he would get one of
the men. Now. however, the game
of bear hunting in the Arctic Is
much the same as it is in the cane
brakes of Louisiana or the noun
tainS of Idaho. They Use dogs to
keep the bear busy while they APP
proach with rifles and pick off the
bear at their leisure.

Confidence in Self
Makes for Success

Many of us are actually afraid
to succeed. Most of Us are well
fitted for our work, being properly
prepared, possessing intellect, tai
emf, love for our work and the ear
nest desire to do it well, but we
lack the supreme gift. self-confl-
dence, which enables us to make
success of things. Fear is small
word with large meaning.
After hearing the great Nine.
Nightingale sing famous aria
little Miss Highvoice feels certain
that her voice sounds like a tin
whistle and never wants to sing in
public again.
Likewise, little Willie Pound-the-
Keys hears the wonderful Maestro
Fernando play his new concerto,
returns home in disgust, closes his
piano and goes on a vacation.
How easy it is to forget that
hard work for long years, coupled
with talent and great determlna-
ton, are required to make a lin
ished artist. How many Of us are
afraid of the long years. the hard
work and the privations?
My message is simply this: Love
your work and think it is the most
glorious and wonderful thing In the
world. Be radiant with enthusiasm.
These two qualities make splen-
did team and cannot be beaten.
Both of these attributes are conta-
gious and will help you and your
work immensely. Belle

Dickens Not Fine in
Delineotion of Women

Dickens had no theories about
women as a sex; he had no the0-
ries about mankind. He did not
try to account for his women char
acters by reliance on formula.
They interested him as individuals,
and the most successful of MS
women characters are those with
some heavily underlined popularity
which enabled him to keep up an
1ncessant excitement about them,
Is the comment of a writer in the
Westminster Gazette.
Mrs. Nickleby and Sairey Camp
live wildly because Dickens imagi-
nation was working at high pres
sure when he created them, and
his excitement infects his readers.
The women about whom he felt so
intensely are human, aud therefore
credible; but Dickens never worked
djspassionately or far enough
away from his subject to make his
women universal. In creating Miss
Wardle he felt the pathos of the
lovelorn spinster. But he had. TO
make jest of the elopement with
Jingle, whose raScality alone saves
the scene from complete r@ility.
Dickens ran away from Miss War
dies emotional tension because she
was good woman and for women
of her type to give way to emotion
was a little improper.
For with all his Imagination,
sympathy and acute sensibility,
Dickens could never persuade him
self that women have the ordinary
feelings and faiIings of humanity.

The Sampson is towing the barge to the new whaling station site, Kodiak Island. The stop at this port was made to take on fuel oil at the local Standard Oil plant.

 During the heavy seas of Saturday night, the skipper of the Sampson had doubts whether he would be able to keep line on the tow, owing to the furious storm which swooped down over the Alaska Gulf. Until Saturday night the trip north was marked with out incident.

0NE1 UNIT OF FLEET
 WILL VISIT SEWARD
 JULY, II |s LEARNED

1t is learned thru a fairly reliable news source that the prospects of at least one unit of the North Pa ciflc fleet squadron of the United States Navy visiting Seward in July is very good. Such visit by just one unit will mean there will be a number of thousands of officers and sailors here during that period.
 It was first thought the entire fleet planned coming here using this port as naval base from which to conduct maneuvers. A few months ago, following an enquiry sent out by The Gateway, the Associated Press reported San Francisco Navy headquarters denied such plans were under consideration. The report reaching The Gateway office yester- day is believed to be authentic.
