Iaban Is Film Leaae1..

Mass production has always seemed to -
the birthright of the United States but
suddenly Japan comes to the fore to take first
rank in annual output of feature motion picture
films.
During 1923 there were 800 feature pictures
turned out by the studios of the empire, which
are operated by 16 companies.
The reason for the great output is that the
producers contract with the exhibitors to pro-
vide three new features each week. This pro-
gram. as it affected one company, resulted IN
1872 releases in the one year.
In addition to the 156 three-a-week pictures.
costing between $4,000 and S. 900 each to pro-
duce. special features were issued twice month
at q cost of $12,500 to $4,000, and two extra
special twice-a-year pictures at cost Of
$4,000 to $4,000.
The companies outlay for the year was about
81 100000. which included everything
salaries, Office salaries studio expenses and all
that went into the handling of the pictures.
More than half of the Japanese pictures
were based upon classical drama, the remain
der being chiefly made up of tragedies of mod
ern life in Japan.
Comedy has no place in the japanese movie
world.
Because of the little interest shown in Japa-
nese films abroad, few have been exported.
Foreign films. however, find ready market
among the upper classes of Japan, and 400
were imported during 1928, of which $50 were
American in origin.
There ere approximately 1000 movie houses
in Japan, and the average admission price Is
the equivalent of is cents in this country.

Cadmium Z M Is .USetNl ,Ml,eettaq,kl.. :

CADMIUM presents one of those paradoxes for
which nature is famous. very soft metal
it has the effect of hardening and toughening
other metals when alleged with them. 1t is a
sort of clinging vine that makes sturdy oaks
OF metals with which it is fused.
Heavy as nickel, it lies between tin and gold
In hardness. Metallurgically cadmium resembles
zinc, with which it is usually found but physi-
cally it is much more like tin. even. to the point
of having the cracking sound of tin when bent.
Highly resistant to oxidation, cadmium has a
great commercial value, which, however, has
been offset by its poisonous quality. very
small dose, .03 of gram, win kiln an animal,
and very small quantities highly toxic to
man.
Because of its resistance to oxidation, 1t will
stay shiny for long periods. and only loses some
OF its CLEAN when exposed too long in moist air.
Cadmium was first discovered in 1917 by .
chemist. F. Stronger, while investigating the
cause Of the yellow color Of a zinc oxide.

with navy crew aboard. She was the largest
ship in the world when she was built, in 1899
Asked his opinion of the greyhound type OF
ship, built especially for speed Billy Linn said:
LAS said before. the new ship will be faster.
But just remember that running liners across
the ocean is not like running railroad engines on
a track. The company which sacrifices sea-
worthiness for speed is bound to lose. In this
business weather is everything. If ship has
a calm sea from Cherbourg light to Ambrose
light she can make a great showing. But if she
runs into stormy weather, as we all do at times.
especially in the Winter, then the greyhound
type has to slow down to a greater extent than
q ship of the Leviathan type.
Consistency counts in ocean liners as well as
anywhere else. We know that on a single,
good-weather run the Bremen and the Maure-
tania can beat us. But we were on time %
times out of 80 in 1928 Commodore Cunning
ham, who has no superior on the Atlantic, gets
us there, and am sure that for consistent good
time, regardless of weather conditions, the
Leviathan is the world leader"

'"The Cunard Line, the Mauretania's owner
plans two 70.000-ton boats to be laid down at
Tyne and Clydebank before the year is out.
The White Star has the Oceanic of the same
size already building in Belfast shipyard."
Others have mentioned $4,000 tons and 100
or 1000 feet in length as very probable for
these new liners. In the first blush of excite
ment it is natural that guesses should 60 bit
Wild Now that few weeks have passed allow
ing minds to become bit sobered, let us hear
what practical man, Billy Linn, efficient exec
utive of the Leviathan, has to say.
There will be new ships and faster ships, but
when 1t comes to $1,000, 10000 and $4,000 ton
ships-wait minute" says Mr. Linn.
Sitting In offices and writing about the size
of future ships is one thing and trying to dock
them is another. I've been on the Leviathan
for many years, and I'll tell you few things
about her. Remember, she has the largest
displacement of any ship in the world today
59956 tons-and she Is $50 feet over all.
That's plenty big. but not nearly as big as these
10000 tonners the boys are writing about. If
they're going to build all of them they'll have
to pump more water into the harbors, which
isn't likely
Listen TO this: We can got into Boston dry
dock but not up to the docks in Boston Harbor.
We can't go into Philadelphia or Baltimore. On
the other side we can't dock at any port in the
Mediterranean Sea, in Germany at Plymouth,
England, or LIE Havre France. We can't go up
to the docks at Cherbourg France but must
to the dock at Southampton. It's tough job
for us to get up In Liverpool
1.-THE channel at New York is as feet When
we leave New York and are heavily loaded with
oil. stores, water and passengers we draw 40
feet leaving only feet to spare. Because of
the oil and water used en- route we draw. 81
feet on the other SIDE All this gives a practical
idea of the difficulties experienced by 60, 0OO-
ton ship like the Leviathan and how impracti-
cal it would be to build 75,O00-ton or even
70.0O0-ton ships"
The practice of disembarking passengers on
tenders in harbors if conducted everywhere
would permit 7O.000-ton ships to operate but in
nearly all ports they would have to discharge
their passengers by tenders coming far out from
the docks. This Is not considered desirable
among ship owners because of the extra expense,
loss of time and inconvenience to passengers.
It is particularly undesirable during rough
weather.
A to length. Mr.. Linn explained that the
Boston dry dock, the largest in the United
States, is only 1850 feet long and that ships
exceeding that length viii have. no place to GO.

There is always an objective to be reached

cousin and his friend will tell you all about
the sights they saw last Summer in London,
Paris or Berlin.
Maritime history reveals that it isn't an easy
task to turn out ship that can beat the
transatlantic record. In the last 40 years less
than two days have been cut of the time. "
About go years ago ships like the City OF
Berlin, Baltic and the Arizona could make the
crossing in trife more than seven days. A
clipper ship. the Dreadnought. did it in about
twelve. The Alaska cut down the time to six
days eighteen hours and her record was smashed
by the Etruria, which made it In an even half
dozen days. From then until the advent of the
Mauretania the record changed hands fire.

In the Summer of 1891 the Majestic, pre-

owned by the White Star Line, crossed the
Atlantic in five days eighteen hours The
Lucania beat that mark in 1894. with i've days

the Kronprlnzessin Cecilie.

So far as speed is concerned, the Mauritania

REDUCING DIETS
MUST HAVE BULK
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Adds Bulk
= to a Diet Without Adding
Weight to the Body

Doctors everywhere are warning
against the recent trend toward
strenuous diets for weight reducing.
Many Of these new diets are
serious in their consequences. Be-
cause they lack roughage, constipa-
ton occurs. The first symptoms are
dizziness, weakness and sallow COM
plexion. Unless corrected, the whole
system suffers. Health and beauty
are stolen.
BY including Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
in q reducing diet, you keep fit as
you take off weight because you
prevent constipation.
ALL-BRAN does not add fat to
the body. It just sweeps your in
testines clean Of poisonous wastes.
No pills nor drugs can play tho
part Of ALL-BRAN in a reducing diet.
You will like the appetizing, nut
sweet flavor Of ALI~BRAN. Eat it
in clear soups. On salads. Soaked
in orange, prune or fruit juice. AS
a cereal with milk or cream. De-
licious with honey added. Just eat
two tablespoonful daily-in chronic
cases of constipation with every
! meal.
Made by Kellogg IN Battle Creek.

CHOICEST DATES

. Culling4 the inferior varieties OF

IS a.eommon practice, so when plant
explorers of the United States de.
partment of agriculture observed
that date growers I'm North Africa
had destroyed their very finest va.
rieties instead of the inferior ones.
they asked for an explanation.
Many years ago, they were told,
the Arab rulers of the district sent
out agents to visit the date plant
ings and confiscatc the very best
fruit for use at royal banquets. The
Arabs soon learned that it was more
profitable to grow the inferior va
r.ctics rather than grow the best
varieties for the rulers without pay
Now some Of these choice varieties
are practically extinct in their ma
tive country.
The experimental paintings of the
Federal Bureau Of Plant Industry
in California, Arizona, Texas, and
Nevada now contain larger mum
Der of date varieties than are to be
found in any one oasis of the Old
World. These varieties are being
given thorough test to determine
which are best suited for CONNER
cial culture in this country.
Scarcely a decade ago the date
palm was little -morc than botani
cal curiosity in the United States
Now it is the basis of a promising
fruit industry. About $500 acre
have been planted to dates in thi
country and $50 acres are now il
commercial bearing. The Coachell;
valley of California is the center o.
the industry here.
