I'm his initial talkie, system whereby the Mps
of all his actors must move, he would have to
have q substantial knowledge OF the various
sound systems. Admitting to himself that he
did not possess this, he wisely concluded that
his best bet was to secure the advice and CO.
operation Of leading commercial film makers.
They suggested that he complete the silent
version Of his first "talkie" and then add the
sound and talking portions in accordance with
suggestions they would outline If he would
make short visit to New York at some future
date.
Now that Mr.. Evans had definite procedure
In mind, he breathed easier. First of all, he
purchased q projection apparatus that works
on the disc system, which is to say that the
sound portion of "talkie" is recorded on discs
somewhat like photograph records. Whereupon
the disc to be projected on the screen is put
on q turntable and flexible drive shaft cons
meets the driving mechanism of the motion pic
ture protector with this turntable, thereby turn
ing the record at the precise speed at which
the film is transcribed to the screen. This SyS~
tenn employs the familiar radio method of ams
pliflcation-the sound effects issue forth from
two dynamic speakers placed behind the screen.
According to Mr.. Lindstrom, who is Mr..
Evans associate, it is understood that in the
near future the Government will make thorough
tests Of the other well known types of projec-
ton apparatus for sound films, notably, of the
kind wherein the ''talkie" effects are connected
right on the roll OF hlm instead Of being re-
corded on discs
MOST of the silent interiors for Forest and
Water were taken in the spacious movie
laboratories of the Department of Agriculture
in Washington. However, the exteriors were
'shot" in many widely divergent sections of the
land, including Maine. New Hampshire, West
ern North Carolina. Virginia and West Virginia.
Many scenes of remarkable scenic beauty were
filmed, since the aim Of the picture. which Is
allegorical in treatment, is to stimulate every
one who sees it to a better appreciation of the
public need for conserving carefully our valua-
Die timber and water resources. There are strik-
ing shots Of forest fires and their attendant
damage, besides scenes showing the terrific dew

CLOSED SEASONS PROTECT
TEXAS BIRDS AND ANIMALS

AUSTIN. Jan. SOLO, After
years of neglect game birds and
animals are having their day in
Texas, and that day promises to be
a long one.
II was only a little more than so
years ago. in 1879. that the first
semblance of a statewide c~onserva-
ton law was passed. Today a closed
season is enforced on practically
every bird or animal that attracts
the hunters gun.
Scarcely a legislature convenes
that does not make some change
in the game conservation statutes.
The forty-first legislature author
lied a game. fish and oyster COM
mission OF six men TO do the work
which one man. the game. fish and
oyster commissioner. had been call
ed upon to do previously.
Members OF the commission be-
lieve that the tide IS swelling and
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-01-30

that subsequent legislation will be
toward further conservation. They
already c an increase in the sup
ply OF game as a result OF past
legislation.
Tighter I'm 1881
The first game law enacted In
Texas was adopted in 1869 when
Galveston Island closed its season
on quail for two years. Nineteen
years later the decline OF game,
IL any. had not begun to worry
sportsmen seriously for IS Of the
States 252 counties were exempt
ed from provisions OF the first gen.
eral law which gave protection to
song birds and forbade the killing
Of doves and quail during the
breeding season.
A tightening OF the laws occurred
in 1881 when a closed season of
five months was established on
prairie chickens and on deer. both
bucks and does. and a 31-3 months
season on turkeys. This apparently
overdid the matter for the legisla-
ture in 1883. Twelve other counties
tolerated some OF the regulations.
Even in 1895 exemptions from some
OF the laws we're claimed BY 70
counties.
1908 Laws
Laws were enacted in 1908 es-
t~ablishlng a five-year closed season
on antelope, mountain sheep and
~pheaSants. and forbidding the sale
OF these animals and Of deer or
parts thereof. The Audubon So
cieties had been working for the
protection Of birds and their plum
age as the legislature inaugurated
a five-year closed season in the
traffic Of non-game birds ard their
plumage. Killing OF a doe or spotted
favn was made unlawful and the
open season on bucks was reduced
to the months Of November and
December, with six as a bag limit.
Headlight hunting was outlawed.
The killing Of turkey, prairie chick
ems. quail and doves was restrict
ed to the months OF November,
December and January with a bag
limit of IS of all species combined.
In 1907 the limit on bucks and
turkeys was cut to three and the
netting or trapping OF birds was
forbidden. The legislature that year
created the game department which
was to function as part OF the
existing fish and oyster commits
sion. provided enough hunting IL
censeS were sold to pay its way.

Open Air Theaters Part Of
Past Years Work In
Mexico

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 30-Mexico

schools. according to statistics at
1929. including all state except
Michoacan. In these schools there
are a total Of 1904 libraries, and

.#E9TW1A'1 INTERESTS . . PONDER POSSIBILITIES
 0F VALLEY SMOKES

If Outside capital does not take hold of the proposition in N large way. it is possible that Westward interests may take up the devel opment of tourist traffic into the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes on small scale, according to Captain Bob Hall of Kanatak, who IS in the Port of Seward with the sloop Picaroon just up from Seat- tle. Hall is one of the few who have taken pack trains into the valley from Katmai Bay. He says that although the valley has lost some of the roar and smoke which fol- lowed the great eruption in 1912, it is still land of fire and tur- moil and one of the wonders of the world.
 The way in by Katnai Harbor is still the most feasible way to reach the valley of smokes, in his opinion. There should be proper accommodation at the harbor, a roadhouse at Martin creek about halfway of the 25 miles to the edge of valley and another sta ton alt the valley from which par ties could be taken on various trips. Until such time as capital or the park service can put in an automobile road, pack horses will have to be used. It is possible that owners of some of the larger boats of the Westward may get together,
