Two Methods Used
In Making Talkies

Behind the mass Of technical
phrases used to express the pro-
cesses by which talking pictures
are made are two methods that
have come to be accepted by the
picture producers making sound
pictures: the film and the disc
methods.
Recording is done electrically
with both methods.
With the film method the sound
record consists of band about one
eighth inch wide, called the sound
track, which runs down one side
of the film and consists of micros-
copic lines. The density Of these
lines depends on the loudness Of
the sound, so that the greater the
contrast between light and dark
lines the louder will be the sound.
In other respects the film resem-
bles the ordinary kind.
The disc method employs disc
records that ale similar to the best
type of phonograph records except
that they are much larger and run
at about half the speed of phono-
graf record. It this way it is able
to play throughout whole reel.
The film used with the disc rec
ording resembles an ordinary film
except that it has special marking
at the beginning of reel to give
the starting point for the disc
synchronization.

 One of the big events of June, 1889, was the arrival at Staten Island of Capt. Joshua Slocum in his three-ton sailing vessel after an adventurous sea voyage of nine years. The captain, his wife and two children had left Parangila, Brazil June A. 1880. and had trav- eled more than 1000 miles.

Authorities Have Clues in Slashing of School Teacher, But Crepe For Motive-Brief Statement

HEALTHY CHESTNUT TREES

Blight Apparently Has Spared Scv- eral GroWths, James D'Anna

New Milford, Aug. fl LP-Several chestnut trees in full health. so far as outward appearance goes, have been found by James D'Anna, who Is satisfied that the growth is free of disease.
 Since 1910 chestnut trees in this section have been dying of blight until it appeared doubtful if there was single healthy one left. The finding of six or seven trees, each about 25 feet in height and having burrs on the branches, is expected to be regarded as a good omen. MT. p'Anna has notified the Connecticut Agricultural experiment station of the trees which are not over five miles from the towns center.

 Lucky" she thought, with the Jack down front with a woman!"
 She smiled politely, and admitted that maybe he was right. Only she couldn't see it, not for minute.
 The next day, anxious to avoid reporters, Molly hurried back to Boston.
 Little Rita, she discovered. had already twined herself around her heart Each day Molly had tele- phoned from New York, for the joy of hearing that baby voice.
 Hello, Mama" Rita would say.
 "Oh, hello, darling. How are you?"
 ''1se all wight" . Such a flut- tery, sweet little voice, with inflec- tions like the trilling of a bird!
 The child of her own accord called Molly mama" At first Molly thought she ought not allow it. It seemed like ronbing Rita of something that belonged to her. But, after all, you can't rob dead woman. Besides, Rita wouldn't mind. She wanted-really wanted her child to belong to Molly. It was little word-and it was be- ginning to mean more to Molly than any sound in the world.
 Her first night home she per mitted Rita to stay up late For a special treat, they had their eve ming meal together in the drawing room. Rita had cambric tea, and there was ice cream for dessert.
 Later Bob dropped in. He greeted his daughter affectionately, and seemed surprised at finding Molly there.
 T thought you'd have to stay over in New York" he remarked. with all that rumpus about your play"
 "Oh, mo-" she said. MT. Durbin can take care of that. I didn't want to be mixed up in it."
 Mixed upn' he exclaimed. "You wrote the thing, didn't your"
 But you didn't think I wanted to stand around, and let them throw dirt at mel"
 Bob smiled disagreea bly.
 Don't pull that stuff on me" he admonished. You may be simon pure maiden to all the yokels in Snodgrass, but you're a darn smart young woman to me. That 'dirt's' going to make you pretty penny, isn't it?"
 T suppose so," she conceded. 'Well?" That doesn't make you sore, does it?"
 1t was on the tip of her tongue to retort that she would need sev- eral pretty pennies to raise his daughter. But that would be stupid and pointless. If they quarreled Bob might take the child away And that, she felt, would break her heart.
 It was not until little Rita had kissed them goodnight, and gone to her fairy-tale bed, that Elsie Smiths name entered the conversa- ton.

CHICAGO BAD MAN
 FINALLY CAPTURED
"Baby Face" Doody Surrenders
 Without Fight to Police

Chicago, Aug. 14 P}-The luck of the Doodys has been broken. It deserted Baby Face" Willie Doody yesterday when he was arrested without the firing of a shot. But up to yesterday Wee Willie" had eeled through police nets as though he were charmed.
 The Doody luck first veXed officers when he shot his way out of a hotel room in which he had been cornered by Postoffice Inspector Evan Jack son. A bullet from Doody's pistol sent Jackson dangerously close to death.
 Luck Holds Again
 There was the time, too, that Doody was arrested by a motorcycle policeman. While the officer was fumbling for his revolver, Doody knocked him down with the butt of his own gun. Here again the Doody luck held.
 Through the months Doody was hunted by federal and city officers, Wee Willie" continued lucky. The country was circularized with his photograph and every police officer in Chicago had orders to get him alive or dead, yet the mild man nered product of the west side bad lands-the "Valley, cap ture. Twice he made trips to Can- ada, once boarding the bus within a block of detective headquarters.
 Surrendered Calmly
 In one way Doody's capture must have been a keen disappointment to those who had taken his bravado seriously for he surrendered with d docility that was in keeping with his sobriquet, "Babye Face" yet which was hardly consistent with his re ported boast he would never be taken alive.
 With Doody in jail, police were sitting through the scores of holdups and shootings of recent months which have been blamed on him. One hundred victims of holdups were called to headquarters today to see if they could identify him,
 Besides the Inspector Jackson af- fair, it was likely that Doody would be held for the staying of Charles Levy, police chief of Suburban Berwyn.
