For scenes such as the underwater swimming
In the waterfall number of "Footlght Parade"
however, the camera is kept away from the
water entirely. Such scenes are made in spe-
cially constructed tanks having numerous plate
glass windows below the water line, and the
photographing is done through these windows
from outside the tank.
Adequate lighting is the principal problem
in such scenes. Most Of it must be supplied
from lights placed in watertight compartments
around the side Of the tank as most of the
light from overhead lamps will be reflected
rather than penetrate the water.
Ship scenes, the kind which appear to be
taken from nowhere few yards away from
the ship, are filmed in the same manner en-
ployed in getting the moving automobile shots.
A platform is built out from the side of the
ship and the camera is mounted upon it.
However, great many ship scenes in which

right over the cameras. And that is exactly
what they do For such shots hole is dug in
the ground or beneath the railroad tracks. The
camera is placed in this hole and operated
electrically by the cameraman from a safe
distance.
If it is a herd of horses which is being
photographed the camera is completely COW
cred except for its lens and the hole is REIN
forced in such a way that the horses can't
cave it in with their hoofs. That extra pre-
caution isn't necessary with trains.
Occasionally you will see horses rushing di
rectly past the camera instead of over it, such
as was seen in the chariot race in Eddie Can
tors latest picture, Roman Scandals These
shots involve considerably more risk as the
camera must be placed directly in front of the
horses. which must swerve to either side of it.
And as a rule the cameramen will stick right
to their posts during the filming Of such shots.
Two of them were injured while obtaining such
a shot in Roman Scandals" but the shot
obtained and used Just the same.
| UNDERWATER scenes present another mys-
~ terry to many theater- -goers Obviously the
camera must be under water and yet it must
be kept absolutely dry.
Several methods are employed for obtaining
such scenes Sometimes the camera is placed

being operated electrically by the cameraman
who remains above the surface.
If the underwater shot is at all difficult or
considerable action is involved, a diving bell
large enough to accommodate both camera and
cameraman is used. Plate glass windows COM

the vessel seems to be wallowing in terrific
sea with gigantic waves washing over it from
stern to stern, often filmed right on a
studio stage. At least the close shots are. The
full-length views of the ship necessarily must
be made at sea.
For the close-ups a replica of the ship is
built on studio stage, being rigged mechan-
ically so that it will have the same rolling
motion as ship at sea.
Special water compartments, holding tons OF
water, also constructed the stage in
such a way that the water can be released to
strike the ship with exactly the same effect
as huge wave would have.
4 AOST of the scenes which show an ocean
IVI liner leaving a pier also are shot right
in a studio, with a stock shot of ship out in
a harbor cut in to give realistic effect.
Replicas of huge ocean liners stand perma-
nent sets on both the Fox and Paramount lots.
They are built on tracks so that they can be
moved just enough to give the impression that
they are leaving the pier.
A rear view Of either of these ships looks
like thousands of pieces of lumber nailed to-
gether in meaningless fashion. But from the
camera side they can't be distinguished from
actual ocean-going vessels.
There never is such thing as privacy on a
movie set. On the screen the characters may
seem to be absolutely alone Actually however,
they are surrounded by 20 or 80 persons the
director his assistants, the script clerk, prop
erty boys, carpenters, electricians, cameramen
and possibly useless supervisor two. The
scene may be an intimate death-bed one, call
ing for considerable emotion, the type of act
ing which most players would prefer doing
while isolated But the usual gang is around
Just the same.
-Four different methods are used in getting
those moving shots in which the camera moves
continually from one place to another. The
camera may be placed track built on the
stage floor or it may be suspended from track
built some feet above the set. 1t may be placed
on a dolly" small platform mounted on
four rubber-tired Wheels which be pulled
hither and yon at will.
None of these methods work successfully with
certain types of travelling shots, however-fol-
lowing person up or down stairs for example.
For such shots light portable camera has
been developed camera which can be carried.
And then there are the huge camera cranes
which are used chiefly for sweeping shots in
which the camera pokes its nose into every
thing whether high in the air or down in
a hole.
A strange thing about the movies is that
occasionally the artificial is realistic
than the genuine. This is particularly true of
rain For some reason genuine rain doesn't
photograph at all well On the screen it will
q look as though some one has done . bad job
of taking rainstorm. Consequently, artificial
Sain is used exclusively. - s--1'si stl9s

FARM PRICES STILL
FAR BELOW PARITY
Wide Disparity Exists Between Prices
Received and Prices Paid for
Goods Bought

Nearly all Washington farm pro-
ducts, with the exception of potatoes
and wool are still far below pre-war
parity prices, and the ratio of farm
prices received to prices paid for the
goods farmers buy increased 26 per-
cent during the past year, according
to r. M. Turner, state college extern
sion economist. Although prices paid
by farmers for goods bought show an
index of 12O compared to an index OF
100 for the 191O-14 average, there
still exists a wide disparity between
farm products prices and prices of
goods purchased.
Wheat should have had parity
price of $1.O6 per bushel in April of
1884, based on United States prices,
but the actual farm prices for the
country as "a whole averaged only
68.7 cents. Although future prices
are approaching parity, parity prices
will not be established until the actual
returns to farmers over period OF
several months are in the same ratio
to prices paid, as in the period of
1904.
All classes of hogs should have av-
eraged $3.50 in April to provide pur-
chasing power equal to that of the
five-year base period. However, hogs
in April, 1884, averaged $3.49 per 100
pounds live weight. Adjustment of
production to demand seems neces-
sary because domestic demand has
been maintained at a normal rate,
foreign demand has fallen off great
".
A butterfat price of 31.6 cents per
pound was necessary to give parity
price in April. The actual price av-
eraged Fl cents per pound. Farmers
have already greatly curtailed pro-
duction in response to low prices and
drought but the large potential pro-
duction through high numbers Of
dairy cows on farms continues to be a
depressing factor.
An average price of 25.8 cents per
dozen would have placed eggs on a
partly basis compared to an average
of 1876 cents per dozen received. The
parity price for beef cattle in April
was $6.25, hay $14.24 per ton and
lamb $7.08 per 100 pounds.
Although farm purchasing power in
March 1884 had increased about 26
percent as compared to March 1888,
the ratio between prices received and
prices paid, is still far from the par
ity basis of 1904.
