Beck in the days before the World
War, there was song which began,
when You Wore Tulip. Q Sweet Vel
low Tulip. 80.
Well, thot's oil over. They're drink
ina tulips now in Holland, and perhaps
in Germany, too. A privote letter from q
greet Dutch tulip-orower recently re-
veoIed that nearly three million bulbs
of his 1889 crop are now being treoted
for use as coffee substitute. Whether
the Germans ore taking the coffee from
the Dutch and leaving them their own
tuIip-buIbs to drink is not made cleor.
Possibly all centrol Europe is now drink
ing tulip-buIbs and oeorns as their first
instollment Of the greet new era prom
ised by their conQuerors.
In any eose, one irreporoble injury
hos oIreody been done to Hollond. The
tulip-bulb center Of the world hos shift
ed to the United Stotes, and nothing
the Nozis can ever do is likely to restore
to Holland q pre-eminence she had won
by her own efforts.

THE QUICK AND THE GOOD

There ore going to be lot more
complaints like this one, so we might
as we'll get ready for them. At camp
Shelby, Mississippi. some Of the eonton-
ment buildings thrown together in so
great q hurry ore beginning to show de-
fects even before the construction crews
have left the scene. Window-fromes ore
shrinking, tent floors buekIine, gaps
and crooks are beginning to appear.
1t is the inevitable result Of being
in hurry. Green, unseosoned lumber
wos used when it was not possible to get
lumber conforming to strict army Spec
ificotions.
q Well, suppose they hod VOTED un-
til just the right kind Of lumber was
ovoiIobIe? There would then have been
q great hue ond cry about delay. Quick
building is dear building; and it is pref
ty apt to be shoddy building. It is all

GRIFFITH PIONEERS
CLOSEUPS, MOB SHOTS
Earlier still, they used to nail
the. camera to the floor and
bring all the action in front of it.
D. w. Griffith was considered
completely mad when he tried
the first closeup, and the experts
told how audiences never would
accept huge images of faces on
the screen.
when Griffith was making
Intolerance he had a feeling
that one of the tremendous mob
scenes ought to be shown by a
rising camera which would build
up the effect of mass as it grad
ually took in more and more
people. So he hung his camera
and operator on a captive bal
loon let up on a cable. Naturally,
the shot wasn't very steady or
very sharp. But it was the first
boom shot in movies, and today
everybody uses cameras on the
ends of cranes"
