Radio reception is going to be better this year than it has been Tn the last seven or eight years. Sun spots have declined almost to a minimum and their bothersome ef- feet on radio waves has subsided with the decline.
 In the tremendously hot mass of the sun there have been exten- sive yhirlpools of gas, sometimes stretching thousands of miles in width across the surface and throwing electrical emanations millions of miles outward. These electrical emanations have struck the upper atmosphere of the earth at times so severely as to cause serious magnetic storms.
 These magnetic storms make radio communication extremely difficult and sometimes impossi- ble

CIeUer HaUersack.

The school term was drawing to a close and
every one was talking about vacations and
where they were going to spend them.
"Say girls" said Cora Smith, whose turn it
was to be in the spotlight on that particular
afternoon, lone Of the jolliest vacations ever
spent was an honest o-goodneSs hiking trip.
"a chum of mine thought it would be quite
an adventure for change and we certainly
had q great time. But what am going to tell
you about is the original and serviceable haver-
sack in which she carried her full equipment
for the trip. You may know that nothing on
earth is so tiresome as to carry what we call
excess baggage on any trip.
Her pack was just little larger than the
ordinary leather school satchel and had an
outer cover of brown canvas. OF course that
does not sound particularly interesting. But
wait until I tell you about the inside. She car
ried the pack swung over her shoulder just as
if she was going to school. and it was only
when we hit the hay for the night that she
showed me the inside of the Satchel. She had
duplicate-shaped satchel pack made in
brilliant blue washing flannel, and on it were
her initials embroidered with colorful silk. You
see the great idea was that she had protected

pervised the construction Of the sets on which
the picture will be photographed and prepared
any special artistic decorations. The pho
tographer made plans for the kind of cameras
he would use, and the electrician figured out
the lighting that would be necessary, while the
sound department made sure that the settings
and properties would not interfere with the
proper recording of the voices of the actors and
the other sounds in the picture. And the cast
ing department chose all the actors and ar
ranged for special rehearsals if needed.
All this has meant great deal OF work, yet
so far not single foot of film has been taken
And still further preparations are necessary be-
fore the actual shooting Of the picture begins.

her belongings from the dust of the road I'm
this inner pack, and at the same time it was
colorful and ornamental to sling up wherever
we might pitch our camp.
MY chum told me that she simply cut and
shaped the flannel to the exact shape Of the
outer satchel which she had purchased ready
made"
Excellent idea, Cora. Many clean outfit
of clothes have soiled by dust getting into
my ordinary pack" remarked Miss Brown.

Hozv the MoOie Wheels Go Round.

MOREOVER, In many pictures special sound
effects are necessary. Suppose that a
rObber was stealing up the stairs, and in the
picture could not see him, but knew he was
there because we heard the stairs creak. Now,
it would be very hard to build set of stairs
that would creak in just the right way at the
right time; therefore, the sound department
must figure out some artificial way of producing
that squeaking noise just when it is neeued
Perhaps it would be well to explain at this
point just what is meant by sets" The set is
the stage or scene on which the action Of the
picture takes place. It may be a room in a
house, an Office almost anything else. Many
of these sets are built complete for a new pic
ture, but the studios have found that it saves
money to have some settings always on hand.
For example, on the Metro-Goldwyn-M Mayer
property is complete park, railway station
with tracks, and all sorts of cars, and theater.
On the Paramount lot there is big section
Of an ocean liner.
Most of the studios have various sorts of
streets-a small town street, big city street. a
street in a French war-torn village and so on.
These standard SETS with various changes, may
be used from time to time in several different
pictures, and save long trips away from the
studio.
Nov comes a consideration of one of the
most important departments of ALL the
casting department. so far we have only the
director and the star chosen. The casting d.
rector gets a copy Of the story continuity, and
after studying It he picks all the other players.
The most important Of these will be actors
under contract in the studio making the picture.
Those having minor parts and the extras"
who made up crowds and provide atmosphere,
are obtained through a central casting bureau
that has on hand the names and descriptions
Of some Is, 900 actors of all types And as soon
members Of the cast are chosen, special re-
hearsals may be held for some of Them such
as dancers, acrobatS or soldiers.
Now let us pause for moment and see what
has been happening since we first started to
make our movie. First, we picked our story
or the readers and the associate directors picked
1t for usl Then director and a star were
chosen, 'and they, working with the expert
scenario and dialogue writer's, studied and
planned how the story would be made into q
picture
FINALLY one Of the writer's prepared q nm
ished continuity complete working plan
for making the movie This plan went to vari-
departments, all of which Immediately be-
gan doing their part In preparing for the pic
ture. The costume department began to design
many different sorts Of costumes. The property
department prepared furniture decorations and
everything else that will be used in making the
picture. The art department designed and SUI

member whether the picture is to be taken in
black and white in color For example If
the picture is to be an ordinary or back-and-
white film, anything that is blue must be han
died carefully. A dark blue will photograph
black while light blue win appear to be gray
or even white.
Suppose that one of the actors was wearing
o dark blue suit and performed some important
bit of action directly in front of black cur
tain. The blue and black would be so nearly
alike on the screen that the actors body might
be almost invisible, and that scene of the pic
ture would be ruined The department must
think of all these things, planning the colors
OF furniture, walls and hangings so that the
actions Of the players stand out clearly against
them.
Furniture must be arranged so it will not
hide the actors and sets must be so planned
that the movements Of the actors about them
viii not conflict with the plan Of the story. In
other words, there are literally hundreds Of de-
tails which these artists must look out for to
get the best effect in shooting the scenes. It
is exacting work and experts must do it.
TO the camera man or cinematographer goes
stin another copy Of the continuity so that
he can analyze every scene for the number and
types Of cameras, lenses and lights, which win
be needed 10 photograph it. Often, in photo
graphing any particular scene, there will be sew
u1ucTSnt Types Oh cameras USED, ana on
such things IS a shipwreck, an explosion, or q
battle scene, there may be many as 80.
For instance, in taking the tunnel explosion
scene IN the picture Dynamite" 10 cameras
were used. Some of these ordinary cameras
others are used for close-ups, still others take
unusually rapid movement, others take pictures
in color and still others may use special wide
f1lm.
Working IN close association with the pho
tographer Is the electrician, who figures ont
the number Of lights that will be needed to
shoot each scene and how they must be placed
for the best results. The studio owns q number
Of large portable generators which can be moved
to produce light wherever it is needed-enough
light for q town Of 1000 population!
In making modern pictures, the sound de-
paxtnent is very important. The "talkies" have
made necessary many changes in building the
sets on which pictures are taken. Solid walls,
for example, cause echoes, so sets are now made
Of highly porous materials so the sound win go
through the set and not be suddenly checked.
The sound department must work with the ant
department ON building all the sets on which
action IN the picture occurs.
