ICE DOWNS THE
TELEPHONE LINES

Weighted down with ice which en-
crusted poles in some places fully
six inches thick, the transcontinen-
tai lines of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company for distance
of two miles across the hills between
Crockett and Luzon station in Rodeo
valley have been wrecked, the weight
of the ice bearing down so heavily
on the wires that poles have been
snapped off leaving the lines which

so individual wires, in a mass of
tangled wreckage strewn along the
telephone right of way.
Does the above sound like Cali
fornia. This item is taken from a
recent issue of the Martinez (Cali-
fornia) Gazette.
Four extra crews of telephone line
men have been dispatched from Oak
land to rush the work of clearing
the wreckage and restoring the lines
at a cost of many thousands of dol
lars. The dense fog and freezing
cold experienced along the tops of

CUTOFF WILL REDUCE
FREIGHT RATES

Carload lots of all merchandise
and livestock over the Rogerson-
Wells cutoff will be materially
cheaper than over the old way
around, 1t was stated Monday at the
Twin Falls depot, by Agent d. e.
Sullivan, who has received sched-
ule. The carload rate on livestock
will be s34 a car cheaper. For in
stance, the rate for a carload of
sheep, now $199 will be $165. In
addition there will be the time
gained in travelling the shorter way.
Merchandise rates are also lower, al
though in the case the amount OF
difference has not been figured up.
Mr.. Sullivan stated the rates are here
but have to be figured out and will
be, of course, before the road opens
February 18th.
This settles a controversy on the
street for some months, wherein it
was claimed by some than the gain
would be only in time and not in
the rates Burnley Herald.

ELECTRIFIED FARMS

The farmers greatest problems may be solved by
electricity thinks R. F. Pack president of the National
Electric Light Association.
So far, the identification of farms has Jagged,
largely because the farmers have desired electric
rent only for lighting purposes With the enlarge
men of their demands to include power and with
the spread of super-power systems, Mr. Pack says it
will be possible extend service to the rural sections
throughout the United States
It would cost billions of dollars to provide such
facilities But the money could be obtained readily
enough. There is no industry today which is making
more rapid progress and which sounder to in

Radio Sets Are
Now Used To

HOLLYWOOD, Dee. 15.-Radio,
III recent months, has come to play
an almost indispensable part in
movie making.
Radio engineers are now part OF
the technical staff in every big film
studio and are constantly evolving
new uses for radio science in picture
making
Since Fred Niblo first employed
The microphone to bawl his orders
20 mob of several thousand extras
IN the filming of the chariot races
IN Ben Hur' it has become a eur
rent practice among directors to use
the radio, instead of the mcgaphonc.
in all mob scenes and "long Shots
A portable microphone is at the
constant disposal of the directors,
and in the big scenes with the COM
panies scattered in half a dozen
places, there are loud speakers. all
on the same hookup which convey
the director ; orders to the play
ers.
James Cruze used the radio in
filming the battle scenes of the sea
spectacle, "Old Ironsides," saving
the Paramount Company thousands
of dollars in overhead. Cecil B.
DeMille is using the microphone to
good advantage in filming his bibli-
cal spectacle, "The King of Kings
and in practically all of the many
war plays still being photographed
in the studios, the directors employ
the radio, particularly for tho big
battle scenes.
Niblo has inauguratcd another
use for the radio in his current film
ing of Camillc,' with Norma
Talmadge. Instead of using the
studio orchestra TO supply emotion
al encouragement for his players
whilo the cameras are grinding,
Niblo has the technicians tune in
on various musical programs that
are being broadcasted. A portable
receiving outfit is maintained on
the set, and the "radio man. of
the company, having investigated
the programs in advance, grabs from
the air the type of music desired by
the director for his performers.
4 novel use of the radio has been
devised by the John Barrymore
Company. Between scenes, to re-
lievc the tension of the players,
the "radio man" tunes in on popu-
lar musical programs and the COM
pany will dance or listen in as 4
means of relaxation.

New Jewish Home
To Have Its Own
System of Money

GENEVA, Dec. 1j.-The new
Jewish national home OF Palestine
is soon to have new currency all
of its own, according to the Inter
national Zionist organization which
maintains its headquarters here.
Owing to the fact that the state
is under English mandate for the
time being, the new currency will
have as its basic unit a "dinarn
with the same value as the English
pound.
The technical mission which
is preparing the new currency has
dc tcidcd that the tenth part of the
einar, which will be equivalent to
two shillings will be known as the
"shckel' in Hebrew or tho mis-
kali in Arabic.
There will also be 4 half. .shekel
or half miskal, which will have the
value of one shilling, while the
quarter of shekel or six-pence will
be known as the "darkmon in
Hebrew and the "dirhemn in Ara.
bic.
Finally the thousandth part of
dinar which will be the smallest unit
IN circulation will have the name
of ''pruta in Hebrew and the
'.salf' in Arabic.
1t is hoped to have the new eur
rency in circulation before the end
of the year.
