! But American interests have often
been parties to them and will con-
tinue to furnish new and important
examples OF combination. Our In
dustrial interests are in with Great
Britain, Spain. Belgium and Jugo-
slavia OH the copper arrangement.
with Germany. Great Britain and
half dozen others OH electric bulbs.
and with Britain. Germany. France
and Austria on borax. No complete
list OF any OF these international
agreements is available because In
many instances the interests involved
have refused to acknowledge them.
Our own official worries about such
agreements between other countries
have only become acute when they
involved some commodity important
to us which VIC did not produce, as
in tho case Of rubber In such in
stances, OF course, our government
officials have shouted because none
of our own interests was in on the
squeeze.
The consumer is the goat whether
American companies are In on an m
ternational combine or not. The De-
partment OF Commerce estimated that
Americans paid half billion extra
dollars through the British rubber
restriction scheme and attacked that
along with sisal. coffee. potash, quiz
nine, nitrate and other "squcczcs' IN
raw materials which the United
States does not produce.

mains to be seen. His government

, country is announced al time when
Standard Oil, party to the re-
ported world agreement with British
interests. is leading movement to
curtail production in both North and
South America.
Under the Sherman. Wilson and
Clayton acts. our government has In
tho past taken action against certain
foreign raw material monopolies when
their ramifications in this country

Washington. April, 2.-Reports from
London of q world oil trust to con-
troll the world supply of petroleum
are interesting, If true, and not at all
surprising.
The tendency toward international
combinations In production and dis
tribution and distribution OF minerals
and raw materials seems to be one
ot the most important factors among
recent developments in world his
tory.
American and British oil interests
have been fighting one another for
markets and reserves for many years.
But each has proved too powerful to
be permanently defeated. Protracted
warfare of this sort, with its intermit-
tent price wars first In one sector and
then in another, have been expensive.
Also, it seems that the generals have
decided, rather futile.
i \ i
Just as industries have organized
nationally. many Of the larger ones
are now beginning to organize OH an
international scale. When business
becomes international and foreign
markets become an important con-
sheraton, overproduction and price
cutting in foreign lands become just
as ruinous as they have often proved
In our domestic economic situation.
Unless the producers Of one nation
have a near monopoly OF COM
modify they cannot set their own
price when surplus exists. They
must accept the world price just as
the American farmer must depend on
the price of wheat as fixed at Liver
pool.
X X \
Now. II the oil kings Of the world
have organized to control prices they
are only following the lead Of other
producers along the road to profits.
Cuba has attempted to organize a
world sugar trust to beat up the price
of sugar. now kept down only by over
production. An international arrange
ment OH copper has already proved
successful in driving up prices: there
is tin monopoly and either a pro-
jected or achieved international!
agreement by the zinc interests. And
quite a few more.
Europe has been forming its own
sartels In much the same fashion Of

! Anyhow, the day came when Volk
found himself with $500 in his pocket.
He bought horse and some crow
bars and went into the wrecking and
salvaging business. At first his cf-
forts were centered on the small tene-
ments Of his East Side belt. His first
big Job was the old Bankers Trust
building in Wall street. It was %

read: THE most destructive force

sort appeared on his wagon. Jake
would chuckle over the joke S.. and
then he would walk around looking
for skyscrapers that needed remov-

destroyed nearly 5000 buildings IL

HOW THE FILMS TALK
What makes the movies talk?

What makes the movies talk?
That is the question hundreds of
fans are asking and it seems almost
as much of mystery as it was when
talking pictures first came into vogue
three years ago.
Manager Shindler, who has just
installed the Western Electric Sound
System in the Dover Opera House,
offers clearcut explanation of the
process by which talking pictures
are recorded and reproduced.
"There are two methods of record
ing and reproducing, generally re-
ferred to as the film and the disc
method" he explained.
with the film method the sound
record consists of band about one
eighth of an inch wide, called the
sountd track, which runs down one
side of the film and consists of mi
croscopic lines. The density of these
lines depends upon 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 resembles
the ordinary kind of film.
"The disc method employs disc
records that are similar to the best
types of phonograph records except
that they are much larger and run
at about half the speed of phono-

apply two coats. The bed will be
more attractive if the brass knobs
are removed and the holes filled
with putty before the painting be-
gins. There is sure to be one
missing anyway, for these knobs
have an irresistible attraction for
children, who soon discover that
they can be unscrewed and used
as playthings.
An old wooden bed which has
been banished from an up-to-date
bedroom because It Is too clumsy
to be fit company for modern
pieces, will be vastly improved If
the headboard is completely re-
moved and the footboard used In
its place. Then it can be re6nished
to match the rest of the furniture.
A mahogany varnish-stain makes
a beautiful finish, or it can be
painted, 1acquered or enameled If
the room demands color.
An ancient but sturdy wash
stand which is no longer a neces-
sary aid to the toilette can be con-
verted with paint and stencil deco
rations into very attractive cabi-
net. One relic of this type-an
ugly oak-fnished piece with a
wide top drawer and two cabinet
doors below-was painted q love-
iy gray-green and ornamented on
the doors with a large design of
birds and flowers IN yellow, purple,
coral and blue. Applied carvings
on the legs were removed with a
chisel and the brass handles re-
placed by wooden knobs before
the painting began Over this

REJUVENATING
THE CELL A R
Helen b. Ames


It NAV be the radiance streaming
down the cellar stairs from the col
crful Twentieth Centucy kitchen; it
may be the contrast between shining
new laundry tubs or an up-to-date
heater and dingy basement walls;
but whatever it is that has put the
oId-fashioned cellar to shame, there
is no doubt that this gloomy cavern
has finally been stirred from the
apathy of years.
With drudgery no longer neces-
sary accompaniment of furnace tend
ing, the domain of this deposed task
master has begun to assert its claims
for attention. Today it demands not
only the convenience of labor-saving
devices, but the comfort of cheerful
surroundings. 1t needs sunlight and
color if it is to blossom forth as an
exponent of modern housekeeping
which is rapidly driving drabness
from every work-a-day part OF our
dwellings.
In the new home the cellar is gen.
orally planned on this principle, but
even an ancient and cobwebby cellar
may be amazingly transformed. More
windows, more lighting fixtures,
brightly painted gate to isolate the
coalbin, an dan application of yellow
paint to the grimy white walls, cell
ing, and overhead pipes will make
going down cellar" a pleasanter
prospect. q,
1t is but natural that our changed
attitude towards the cellar should
suggest it's use as something more
than a place in which to work. In
many homes the basement runs the
entire width of the house and the
space not taken up by the furnace,
the coal bin, or the laundry tubs IS
Uttered with rubbish. In the trans
formed cellar this miscellaneous col
lection of junk is relegated to an IN
conspicuous corner, thus addlng
more living quarters to the house.
Here restless youngsters may play
tag or jump rope, golf-bitten nus
bands may swing their brassies on
rainv Saturdays, gymnastic sons may
develop hard muscles without en-
dangering the upstairs furntlture'
and daughters may fox-trot without
dismantling the living room.
In one suburban home now heateu
by an oil-burning equipment, the
banishment of the coal-bin LETT a
space which has been turned into a
dining room for the little folks.
Painted plasterboard covers the
grimy walls, gay rugs are scattered
about on the painted concrete noor'
and even the sombre furnace is con-
verted into a decoration by the gay
green finish of the oil burner.
It is frequently feasible to cover
the laundry tubs with wide board
which has been enameled a pleasing
color. This stratagem will PROVIDE a
table surface when the tubs are not
in use and when wash day rolls
around the uncovering of the tubs is
a mere matter of lifting on the
board. 1t is even possible to put
soiled clothes in the tubs and cover
them with the attractively finished
lid so that no one would suspect
their presence! An amusing way Oh
treating the outside of laundry tuDs
and cover them with the attractlVely
fnished lid so that no one would sus-
pect their presence! An amusing
wav of treating the outside OF laun-
drv tubs is to enamel them gay
color and then stencil a design OF
sunflowers, tulips, dahlias, or strange
modernistic flora on their formerly
dingy exteriors.
