Forgets the Firm
Her Employer-Just wait
until she shows up. I'll fire her,
that's what I'll do! I won't have
her working here another minute.
Not with high-class concern like
mine.
A fine state Of affairs, that's
what it is. Look at this. She's
on the front page Of every news
paper In the city. And plenty Of
pictures, no less. That's a fine
thing, isn't it? The girl ought
to be ashamed of herself.
All this publicity-and not once
does she mention the firm!
Ten Men-Is this a laugh?
Ho, no, no! Imagine that dame
talking about broken heart. How
could he break something she
never had?
That poor old bozo certainly
must be dumb. She says she's
got letters he wrote to her. II
that's true, he hasn't got a
chance. Ho, no, no. What q
sap!
Hey, that reminds me. I won

sent her that time? Say, just
a-minute.
A Woman in the Subway
Humph! Pretty easy. I'll say.
Fifty thousand dollars for a
broken heart. I'll bet there's
more to this thing than meets
the eye. I don't think she can
be-well, a good girl. After all, II
woman is seduced, it's usually
her own fault. I always say a
man treats a woman exactly the
way she wants to be treated.
Take me, for instance. No man
ever took advantage Of me. No,
indeed! OF course, there are
times when I wish-oh, well.
Gloria's Boy Friend-A swell
gal! Yes, sir, a swell gall don't
think! Me wasting a whole year
almost, hanging around the dame,
and what does she do to me?
She has this rich bloke on the
string all the time and 1 never
catch wise!
Well, I'm through with her,
Absolutely and positively finished
If she'd only Of let me in on 1t,
I could've handled things for her
right. Yeah, we woulda been able
to clip the sucker for a hundred
grand easy, instead Of a measly
fifty. A dope, that's what she is
But, when you stop to think
of it, fifty grand is always fifty
grand. Maybe I will give her a
ring later at that.
The Victims Lawyer-Of all
the chiseling gold diggers! That's
exactly what she iS-an unscrupu
lous gold digger. My poor client
is nothing but trusting old SOUL
He was easy prey for a woman
of her type.
HOW can women do such
things? What can this girl be
thinking Of? It's easy to see that
she hasn't a scrap Of conscience.
He'll be in this arternon, and
I'll have to ask him for a small
retainer. Five thousand dollars
would be about right, I think.
After all, the old dope has plenty
of money.

Say 1t With Stamps!

An idle inquiry here the other
day as to what had happened to
the sentimental stamp language
Of other days brings some enlight-
enment from Spencer Hare on
how it operated: Stamp upside
down on left corner: II love you";;
same corner crosswise: my heart
is another's";; straight up and
down: Goodbye, Sweetheart; Up
side down on right corner: write
no more; In the middle at right
hand edge: write Immediately;
in center, at top: eyes; in CEN
ter, bottom: mo-; on righthand
corner, at right angles: do you
love me?"; in left hand corner: Il
hate you; top corner, at right:
'I wish your friendship; bottom
corner, at left: II seek your
acquaintance; same, upside down:
''I am engaged; same, at right
angle: IT long to see you"; no
stamp at all, I presume would
mean: "It's all over, kid, I'm
broke"
How True!

O Hun!

Nothing has caused me more
amusement than the editorial sug-
gestion Of the Harvard Crimson
that Ernest F. HanfStaengl, Hit
ler'S aid, be accorded an honorary
degree from Harvard as tribute
to his rise in the world as a Nazi
leader-he should be honored,
says the editorial, as no German
official before him since Prince
Henry in 1902. What inspires the
chuckle is that Hanfstaengl is the
chap who once operated some sort
az art store on Fifth Avenue and
refused to display an American
flag when we went into the war
with Germany and who, when the
members Of the Fifth Avenue
Merchants Association did it for
him, tore down the decorations.
Herr Manfstaengl disappeared
from the American scene shortly
thereafter.

In addition to all these devises to

previous years.
In this issue of The Courier is
printed warrant call from the treas
urer's office. By it approximately
100000 in outstanding Indebtedness
will be cleaned up. This will bring the
total warrant cancellations for the
five months of this year to approx
mately a quarter of million dollars.
In addition to the warrants, about
$4,000 worth of bonds of one sort
and another have been retired this
year, Mr.. Kelly states. He says, too,
that because of the sharp curtailment
of budget expenses the past year, the
school districts of the county are in
better financial shape this year than
for several years past.

Few people realize what goes on
in a motion picture operators booth
during the process of the ordinary
two hour show, nor the mass Of in
tricate electrical and mechanical de-
vises of the most minute precision
that are required. LA. 49,
A representative Of the Courier
Reporter spent few minutes in the
booth at the Kennewick Liberty the
| atre last Saturday and was shown
and had explained such maze of de-
tail by operator Arthur McReynolds
that this item will only attempt to
touch the highlights.
McReynolds explained that each
tiny picture on the film is approx
mately three-fourth of an inch by one
inch, and that it is magnified approx
imately $4,000 times on the screen.
The sound waves are on the side of
the film in series of tiny wavy
lines which are amplified by series
of representative light rays. Ninety
feet of film minute travels thru the
machine and there are Is frames to
q foot Of film. Frames he explained
are individual pictures. In one minute
time 1440 pictures are flashed on the
screen and there are 144O0 pictures on
reel of film, or 172, 900 separate pic
lures in the average two hour show, or
two miles sof film.
A reel runs about ten minutes and
as its run ends second machine is
cut in so that the pictures follow
smoothly, and then the first machine
| is reloaded with a new reel and made
ready to co.. when the other reel is
exhausted and so on.
The light that throws the pictures
on the screen is produced by passing
a direct current thru two sticks Of
high grade carbon, and McReynolds
declares that this light is 1000 times
stronger than the average air beacon.
The booth is equipped with a loud
speaker so that the operator can hear
what his picture is doing at all times,
and there are a series of special vol
ume controls for each machine so
that the projectionist can control the
volume of sound from the huge horns
back stage.
A good projectionist is required to
have a wide knowledge of radio, to
fbe mechanically inclined to keep his

Chine a great amount of heat is cre-
ated from the light rays alone, and
should the film stand still for just an
instant as it jumps past the lenses it
would burst into instant flames. As
a safeguard against both lives and
heavy film losses each machine is
equipped with five magnetic fire trap
doors that can be slammed shut with
more rapidity than the winking of an
EYE. The booth room itself is of fire

Nor touch the discipline of anger
Running steel to link their heart-beats
Pain is the blunt inheritance of slaves,
But pain delivered back, alone
Can make them free, when every workers fist
