from their poSsessorS.
eat this task says Mr.. Hagedorn, "she was
very adept. She has not only great persever-
ence but gift Of gentle persuasion, favored
with humor and indignation, which few people
can resist" She first communicated with all
the film companies who might by the remotest
possibility have taken shots Of the strenuous
former President, and from these companies
got whole hearted cooperation. Much OF the
film had changed hands, and often the own
ers could not tell her whether or not they had
Roosevelt film; or If they did possess any, where
1t was Many, however, allowed her to examine
old lists and go through their storage rooms;
II she found anything, they either sold 1t to
her at cost or made q gift Of it. With her
assistant Miss Manning she spent hours, days,
weeks, running old negatives over q hand ma
chine, hoping to discover the eyeglasses, the
toothy smile the vigorously pointing finger Of
the Rough Rider.
Some of the earlier pictures had been taken
by the old Biograph Co. This firm had long
since gone out of existence, but its vaults were
still intact. One Of the trustees of the estate
allowed her to 60 through the vaults, and at
his own expense made for her duplicates of
the Roosevelt films she found. Since these
were the old style, taken before the width OF
films was standardized by the American So
ciety of Motion Picture Engineers they had to
be reduced to IS mm before they could be
shown on modern projection machines.

Gentry's hands, it would sometimes turn out

augmented by some taken by a local photog-
rapher, and after long drawn-out negotiations
between the American Ambassador and the
government of Brazil, by others taken by the
official Brazilian cameraman
However, Miss Gentry still lacked adequate
pictures Of the River of Doubt itself and the
remote and lonely surrounding country. In
1927, therefore, Comdr. G. M. Dyott formerly
of the British Navy, was commissioned by the
Roosevelt Memorial Association to make an ex-
petition to this region and bring back films.

President extensively pictured. Only few
scattered shots were taken of Mckinley and
these, with the jerky movements and fine rain
like lines, were unpleasant examples OF the
imperfection of early photography.
The idea of collecting films about Roosevelts
activities Immediately suggested to Miss Gen
try an organization which might sponsor and
finance the undertaking. So she appealed to
Herman Hagcdorn director OF the Roosevelt
Memorial Association. Mr.. Hagedorn, with his
interest in history and appreciation OF the i'm

Zinc Vial to Aut0 Tires

THE auto has brought zinc oxide its great
est use. Properties impaired to rubber
by the oxide make it indispensable to the prep
aration Of automobile tires, tubes and other
auto accessories. The addition of the oxide
adds tensile strength and resistance to abra-
sion and tears and greatly increases the lon
gevity of the rubber. InaSmuch as the auto
mobile interests consume rs per cent OF the
entire output of the rubber industry, the i'm
portance to the producers Of the zinc oxide is
apparent.
According to the Bureau Of Mines, two
methods, the French and the American, are
now in use in the production of zinc oxide in
this country. The American is preferred but
the French produces purer product.
In the latter method metallic zinc is heated
in a current of air. the resultant oxide fumes
being collected in long chambers, where it IS
deposited in almost pure form. The finer grade
is used in the manufacture OF high-grade
enamel paints
heated in mixture with anthracite. The
Sutant metallic zinc vapor is then treated with
heated air and the oxide formed This method
usually leaves some lead present i'm
purity for there is usually some lead in the
zinc
Zinc oxide is gaining more and more use
as a pigment in fairly large proportions in
paint. 1t has a more stable color than white
lead and is much less expensive, covers well
and is lasting, but cannot be used alone for it

ufacturers of oilcloth lnoleum, pottery giazes,
glass eelluloid, druggists supplies printers ink
and other materials.
Investigators have also found that zinc oxide
can be used as a lubricant. Mixed with OIL It
has been found to prevent the corroSion of
bearings by depoSiting thin coat of zinc on
the surfaces of the bearings. This field offers
considerable possibilities for future develop
ment.

Careless Smokers Blamed

THE careless smoker responsible last year
for the loss of some 100000 acres of
valuable timber land in this country if figures
assembled in the protected forest areas were
similar to those Of the unprotected area. Alto
gether So 000, 900 acres were burned over, one
ninth of this being fire-protected areas and
the rest in unprotected areas.
Some idea Of what the amount OF forest land
burned amounts to may be found in COMPARE
son with the combined area of Indiana and
Ohio, which just about equals the amount of
burned-over land last year.
For the year there were more than 10000
fires in the forests, careless smokers being
blamed for 20 per cent. Deliberate woods burn
ing and incendiarism are responsible for IT
per cent Of the fires, while numbering operations
accounted for but per cent of the blazes.
The value Of re-protection measures is shown
by the fact that, although more than q third
Of the fires broke out on protected areas the
total loss was but one-ninth

q similar manner. For the one on the expedi-

many splendid shots Of the former President in

the story of that particular episode or side OF
his character"
For example, the picture OF the President at
Roosevelt Dan. This was one of his cherished
projects and important contributions and Miss
Gentry has made it the subject OF one-reel
picture. First she collected, from somewhere,
pictures Of the arid desert land in Arizona be-
fore the dam was built. Then few shots OF
the dam in construction; then picture OF the
completed work, with Roosevelt making the
dedication speech. AS even this did not finish
the story she sent photographer to Arizona

WAR DEBT SLASHES
FAVORED BY HURLEY
Ex-Shipping Board Chairman
Believes Business Would
Profit by Plan.
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January Backward N.
Hurley, who was a member of the
World War Foreign Debts Commits
sion, said In an address prepared for
delivery before the Chicago Association
of Commerce today that the Is debtor
nations of the United States should cut
their war budgets and this country
should simultaneously reduce their war
debts.
Hurley, who was wartime chair
man of the Shipping Board, said his
plan would reduce unemployment and
Improve business conditions.
He said the debtor nations were for
merly the best customers the United
States had, and that If this country
reduced the war debts the same coun-
tries would return to American markets
for goods, causing profitable resump-
ton in industry and export markets.
U. S. Initiative Needed.
Speaking as president of the Ameri-
can Manufacturers Export Association,
Hurley declared that until such a
time as our country takes the initiative
by some constructive international
move, it is questionable when the world
will pull out of its economic rut."
Under Hurley's plan the debt reduc-
tion to foreign powers would be condi-
tional upon proportionately yearly
reduction of ornaments with the
United States participating equally.
The total reduction over a 30-year
period would amount to so per cent of
The total war debts due the United
States, with but a slight tax increase
In this country.
The Is debtor nations in the five
years preceding the present business
depression, Hurley said, bought $780,
100000 in goods from this country. In
1880 there was q reduction of $344,-
206,2 and the loss of this business
WAS responsible for the reduction in
Income to the American workmen Of
k2l5, 100000, he said.
Tax Increase Negligible.
The 30-year plan suggested by Hur-
ley would provide for a is per cent
cut In the debts during the first 10
years, another reduction of liz per
cent during the second decade, and an
other 171a per cent during the third
decade.
Regarding the tax increase possibly
due under his plan, Hurley said ANY
thing which will relieve the present
unemployment will also increase our
tax-paying ability enough to make the
possible increase almost negligible"
Hurley said his plan would stimulate
the buying power of debtor nations for
goods of all nations, who in turn would
become customers for United States
wares. He said ornaments cost debtor
nations $7,024,255, 900 during the five
years preceding the present depression.
