old Hand-Wor Is
Now Whispering

PARIS. -t9- Business turnover
taxes share with machinery the re-
sponsibility for killing in France the
old system Of home hand-work.
Makers Of toys. novelties and all
the little things known as articles
de Paris" have gone into factories,
for the most part.
The busiaess tax Is applied 10 the
home workers when they carry any
stock of materials or have a single
machine, even II IL Is hand-operated.
This Tax is such that the workers
find IL more profitable to surrender
to the factory where costs. constant
ly have been lowered.
Until the war there were few fac
tories. Every able-bodied member
Of the family worked at home and
the goods were sold to retailers or
peddIed from house q house or at
fairs. Nowadays. the home-workers
that are left usually get their ma
terials from factories and return the
finished product, being paid by the
piece.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF British
prisons are TO be better fed so they
may be able 20 do more work.
An inquiry being made by the
prison commission has already shown
that where a greater bulk Of bread
and other foods was given the con
victs lost weight whereas by follow
ing a very careful selected dietary,
containing less in bulk but more in
quality, the prisoners gained In
weight.
The inquiry is a part Of a general
policy being carried out by Sir Will
liam Representatives.. the home sec
rotary, who believes in hard work in
prison. with good food. recreation
and amusement as rewards.
Herman Sem, food specialist for
the board Of education and the board
Of agriculture and fisheries and in
spector in sick room cookery at sew
eral London hospitals, is acting as
consultant to the commissioners In
their task Of developing more prison
man power by means of an improved
diet.

Coast Guard Planes
Aid in Life Saving

WASHINGTON, Up ~ The coast
guard Is finding its "eyes Of the air"
IA squadron Of five airplanes sta
toned along the Atlantic coast
valuable in its work in life saving
and Of chasing rum vessels.
The planes flew thousands Of miles
last year without an accident and
probably viewed half a million miles
Of sea area. Lieut. Commander Ste
phen s. Yeandle Of the service told a
house committee recently. Some day
the planes will be used 20 carry
lines to sk.o-wrecked vessels 70 res
cue people. he declared, in telling
of experimental efforts being car
ried on by the aircraft in this work.
Locating bodies Of persons lost in
wrecks, discovery OF derelict vessels
and floating distractions and carry
inc doctors and medical relief TO iso-
lated islands are some Of the out
standing duties OF the flying coast
guardsmen, Commander Yeandle
said.

Talking movie" producers point out
the advantages Of presenting the
candidates to the public in carefully
prepared reels. Made la studios
where the candidates would be free
from distractions, and relieved Of
the strain Of travel and frequent
speaking, the reels would present the
party standard bearers at their best.
Several methods Of talking movie
production are available 70 the cam
paign organizations. BY one method.
sound is recorded upon "A wax rec
ord az the time the motion picture Is
filmed, and reproduced BY means Of
amplifiers when the picture is pro-
jected. Another process, known as
movietone. and advanced as the
more practical method for the politi-
cal campaign work, photographs
sound and the action upon the same
film.
How Camera Works
The camera by which the movie
tone is filmed differs from the usual
motion picture camera in but three
essentials: II is motor driven, 60
insure q steady speed; IL has a
small lamp to throw a variable mar
row beam Of light against one side
Of the film, and the boz between
the magazines Is larger.
A m~icrophone Of condenser type Is
placed to best advantage during the
filming Of q subject, elmer near
or distant from the camera, and the
sound waves from the m~icrophone
carried to an amplifier, which in
creases the electrical impulses 1,00U,-
600 times. From the amplifier these
impulses are taken 10 a small lamp
in the camera, and as the sound IL
recorded increases or diminishes in
volume the beam from the lamp Is
thrown upon the film. recording a
series Of light and shadow at one
side Of the film.
Light Ray Reproduces Sound
From these bands OF light and
shadow the sound is reproduced
when the film is projected on the
screen. In the protector is a small
photo-eiectric cell, so placed that the
light from a small lamp passing
through this narrow strip Of film
reaches the cell with varying de-
Rrees Of intensity. The cell. pick
ing up these impulses, passes them
to an amplifier, and they are re-
produced in the freqrencies in
which the original sound waves
reached the camera.
Perfect syncronization OF sight
and sound, difficult under other pro-
cesses. is thus secured. for the sound
record is a part Of the FUN at all
times, and If for any reason the
picture Is cut, the sounds accom-
panying the pictures deleted are
automatically removed.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16.-Tht half century mark has rolled by for some of the foremost ring champions of earlier days who make their homes here.
 But in the daily life of Les An. geles and environs they actively appear as shining examples of the fallacy of the popular belief tha' long ring career ruins a mar mentally, physically and financial ly.
 Jess Willard, Jim Jeffries, Jack Root, Tommy Ryan and Soil, Smith, famous as champions il the rings of yore, have passed tho fifty year mark, but all stand, phy sically and financially, as refuta tions of that belief. Health anf wealth are theirs, and they can still tell the time of day"
 Perhaps the greatest example of them all is Tommy Ryan, who re- tired with a record of more than 3 score of fighting years, as unde. feated welterweight and middle. weight champions. Tommy is 5S. He shows little evidence of the nearly 300 famous battles that he fought. physically he appears to be perfect, mentally he is keen. He is a leading citizen of the movie suburb of Culver City, Cal. and has made a sizeable fortune.
 Big Jim Jeffries, who ruled the Heavyweight rcost for six years, ought in the days Of long battles md took punishment as ii came. Today he is somewhat affluent and at B is a real estate dealer lctor-getting kick out of life pleasing felks who lean toward vaudeville. Jeffries' ring career latos fism 1G9c t) 1910..
