Taylorville, H., Nov. R)--After kitchen, the miners and their wives of this district turn to the drama in their pursuit of education and cul- ture.
 Tom Tippett, educational director of sub-district number 5, said the miners already have produced half dozen one-act plays, all acted by coal miners and their families.
 We are now working on a new one, The Price of Coal dramatiz- ing with telling effect the cost of coal in human life. We will travel to other Illinois mining towns with the plays this winter spreading, if possible. the idea Labor Drama

BLENDED LIGHT IS
 SECRET 0F SCREEN
This Produces Many Noteworthy
 Illusions

Hollywood, Cal, Nov. B. P-The electric lamp is brilliant but un- seen actor in the screen drama, aid ing the characters in transforming age to youth, cottages to castles and black to white.
 The technique of shaded lights and special effects that give express sions beyond the portrayal of the actors and actresses is the contribu- ton of the cameraman and the cleo trician to the movie art.
 Make 'Inyisible Fogs'
 Blended light" made by mixing rays of varied qualities, even in cluding the x-ray,e have resulted in invisible fog or clouds not visible to the eye, but capable of fantastic effects on the screen. Prismatic lenses and other optical instruments change the contours of faces for trick" shots or weird effects.
 In the early days of the camera,
 Nrtor or scene was photograph e sunlight or with any type of al lcial light available. Then re- search experts, such as John Nicko- laus, research chemist of Metro Goldwyn- Mayer and Henrik sartov, former professor of physics at the University of Rotterdam and now one of the chief camera experts. be- gan studying light. Fifteen years of exhaustive experiments have re- suited in the modern methods by which light and shade have become the tools for creating illusions.
 Effect of Focus
 Sartov's invention of "soft focus light" brought about blend of diff ferent light rays by which soft focus or diffused effects. such as ethereal likenesses Of Lillian Gish, may be obtained with an ordinary lens, which by it's sharpness of focus does not distort the image. The light to the human eye the same as any oth- CT, when passing through the lens, breaks into separate cells which create diffused or blended outlines.
 Light analyzers," by which any natural light may be analysed at a glance, and missing elements in it supplied by use of what is termed artificial sunshine" Special ray filters, which remove from sunlight the rays absent from natural light when the sun is not shining, can be regulated to permit passage through the camera lens of any light from grey fogs to moonlight.
 Supplemented Sunlight
 Apothor od5 orficol diccoyorp in Supplemented sunlight" by means of adjusted light generators, the sun light is ''analyzed" and kept at the same quality every day by adding or neutralizing the mira red or ultra violet rays and by adding artificial light of the desired quality.
 For some "closeups" as many as six different qualities of light may me used on an actors face, pointing up'' one feature. subduing another.
 Every cameraman has his own technique and his own idea of self expression" said Lew kolb. a de- signer of special lighting arrange ments "One cameraman, for in- stance, insists that all lights be shaded with magenta no other color will give him what he wants. Another has particular shade of blue he insists on.
 The picture producers have come to realize that the cameraman de- velops his own technique. works out his own problems in light and must have what he wants to get his effects

Many Needed Repairs May
Be Made in Early Winter.

A plank off the outside wall Of the
dairy stable may reduce the milk
few from the herd this winter and In
addition will endanger the health of
the animals by permitting cold draft
In the stable.
This Is a timely suggestion from
Prof. s. Weaver, farm engineer at the
North Carolina State college, who
states that such slight repairs may be
done during the early winter. All
animals need fresh air but drafts are
dangerous. The food given these anil
mails will be used in supplying body
fuel when the buildings are not tight.
The hog houses and poultry houses
might also receive the same repairs,
he suggests.
"a coat of paint does wonders for
the average farm building" says Pro-
lessor Weaver, "and winter is good
time to apply this paint. Some of
the fences may need looking after and
the corn cribs and poultry houses
need to be cleaned up. Folks are now
putting corn in the cribs and the early
pullets are looking for laying quar-

Test Shows Some Types of
Bacteria More Efficient
Than Others.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
All the cultivated legumes-peas,
beans, vetches, clovers, alfalfa and
related plants-benefit the soil, where
as a continuous growth of cereals and
other nonlegumes leads to decline
in soil productivity. This difference
is due mainly to the fact that the le-
gumes take their nitrogen partly from
the air, whereas the nonlegumes take
1t from the soil.
Make Use of Nitrogen.
1t Is the presence of certain bac-
terra in the soil that enables the le-
gume plants to make use of the atmos-
pheric nitrogen. 1t is not the legume
itself, but these bacteria that gather
the nitrogen from the air and trans
form 1t into compounds that are taken
up by the plant roots. The laboratory
where these bacteria perform this
wonderful transformation, that no
chemist has been able to initiate, Is in
the root nodules which may be seen
on healthy legume plants. Nom
legumes do not have such ''nodule
laboratories" hence they cannot
gather free nitrogen from the air.
In the absence of bacteria in the
soil, naturally it is common practice
to supply them by transferring soil
from fields already containing them
or by artificially prepared cultures
from the laboratory. These cultures
are prepared by growing the bacteria
in liquids, or upon jellies, or directly
In the soil. 1t is interesting to note
that despite the minute size of the

Persistence Won Title
for Noted Californian

Persistence will conquer in sports
just as well as In anything else. Take
the case of George Won Elm, noted
California golfer and newly crowned
amateur champion, for instance.
Won Elm has been banging away at
the amateur title for several seasons.
In 1924 and 1925 he met Bobby Jones,
ultimate winner, during the national
amateur play. In 1924 Won Elm got
as far as the finals. only to meet de-
feat, 9 and 8. Last year Jones again
eliminated Won Elm in the semidnals,
z and 6.
Did Won Elm quit? Not for mo-
ment The other day he found him
self pitted against the famous Georgi-
an once more. This time, as two years
ago, the laurels were once more at
stake. Jones was heavy favorite.
But when the final putt had been made
1t was Won Elm, not Jones, who had
won. Persistence had put 1t over for

just as with breeds of higher organ

the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, to select and propagate
only the most active and efficient
strains.
Legumes In Groups.
Numerous tests, says the depart
ment, have shown that for practical
purposes the legumes commonly cul-
tivated may be divided into seven
groups, each of which has its special
bacteria. The seven groups are those
capable of using the alfalfa bacteria,
the red-clover bacteria, the vetch bac-
terra, navy-bean bacteria, lupine bac-
terra, cowpea bacteria and the soy
bean bacteria.

Stable Flavors in Milk
in Winter Are ANNOYING

We are approaching the time OF year
when stable fiavors are more apt than
usual to creep into milk and the dairy
man must be fully alert to the re-
sponsibilities of the situation. From
now on there will be less fresh air in
most COW stables than there ought to
be. The stables themselves will be
somewhat more difficult to keep clean
and the cows. unless specially groomed
and otherwise cared for, will become
considerably solled. Regardless OF all
this it still is possible to keep the
stable faint out of milk.
Perhaps the most certain method to
adopt toward this end is to keep the
shipping can into which the milk pals
are emptied standing outside the milk
ing stable during the milking period.
This makes little more work and for
this reason many dairymen will hesi-
tate at the .tra steps. But 1t is an
actual fact that the usual moist air OF
a milking stable in winter is about the
easiest means Of transferring stable
: faint to milk.

ILLINI CODE OF
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Institution Noted for Cour-
tesy to Visitors.

The Illini Code of Sportsmanship,
exemplifying the spirit of conduct
which has made the University of
Illinois known the world over for its
courteous treatment during athletic
contests, has just been announced
1t is worthy the consideration of col
leges and high schools everywhere. 1t
follows:
1. accept the proposition that my
athletic opponents are my guests.
will always cheer the arrival of the
opposing team upon the field, reward
by handicap an opponent who
makes good play, and keep silent
when an opponent is penalized.
2. will never deride any official Of
the game; neither will / ridicule an
opponent or his coach or shout dis
courteous and brutal remarks at any
fellow human being. An ill-directed in
suit lasts longer and goes deeper than
a black eye.
3. I will not cheer any member
of the home team who is taken out of
game for unsportsmanlike conduct
and neither will I manifest any ap-
prevail of viciousness, brutality, un-
necessary roughness, or unfair trick
cry.
4. I will never allow beaten team
to leave the home or foreign field with
out an honest cheer for its pluck.
believe that team that is already
beaten. but plays well and hard to the
end is deserving Of as much praise
and honor as the conqueror.
5. do not believe 1t is good sports
manship to harass an opponent by
shouting, whistling, kissing or boo
ing when he is calling signals or at
tempting to complete any act Of skill.
6. / do not believe l am being fair
when / give my cheers to the man
who profits most from the hard work
of others. l shall always try to real
ize that halfback must have good
interference and the interference q
strong and willing line.
Z. / will never be unthankful when
the opposing bleachers have given
one of our men a tribute and neither
will I be forgetful of other fine acts
of courtesy and craftsmanship on the
part Of our opponents.
8. believe that sportsmanship
means the application of the Golden
/ Rule to athletic competition.

Initial Sack Is Real
Hot Corner, Says Wray

Sammy Hale is making fine show
ing for the Athletics at the ''hot cor

why the "hot corner" asks John e.
Wray in the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
This post has for years been pic
tured in the light of terrifying posi-
ton to cover, with only death-defying
players able to hold 1t down.
But why is the third corner any
hotter than first base since both are
equi-distant from the plate?
First base has almost as many field
ing plays to attend to as third, and, in
addition, has worries not connected
with third sack.
As matter Of fact, third base is
about the easiest of all corners to
play, save only for the fact that oc-
casionally there is long throw across
