Washington Pipelines

Y INKS between existing pe- A troleum products pipeline systems are being considered as one method of increasing eastern seabOard deliveries. . . . Fer instance, on exsst- ing gasoline pipeline maps Phillips has line from Texas to East St. Louis; SheIl has line form ROxana, Ill., near St. Louis, to Lima, O.; and Sun has line from East Akron, O., to Philadelphia and New York. . . Links between St. Louis and leOxana, or between Lima and East Akron might help on some supply problems, and there are dOEens of similar gaps i'm crude and gasoline lines where short connecting links might solve supply by minimum use of steel. . Catch is that competing conn panies are now restrained from getting together and fear es- tablishment of connecting links if they would make lines conn mon carriers, open to all pro- ducers. . . Entire pipeline picture Is now being surveyed and action to make existing lines get together may be forth- coming.

 Those mongrel dogs you often see running at random ttrnogh the streets in pictures are supporting several smart people in town in Che best style. They're leased out to studios in packs at 8 a head and are trained to respond to two com- mands. At the word Action" they dash out Into the street and run through the crowds. At the word "Cut" they retire out of the cam- eras' range.
 The movie soldiers who make those heroic charges amid bursting bombs and shells must follow cer- tain lanes marked by black tape. The explosions come from cans of powder buried in the ground which are set off electrically by an ex- pert on a high platform If the players deviated from the prescribed lanes they might actually be blown up.

 The hoary, old historic buildings shown in the movies usually take six hours to age. Once thrown to- gether workmen give them a light coat of glue, set trays of dust in front of the walls and turn wind machines loose on them. The dust sticks and the desired effect is thus obtained.

Burlin, with the Chicago Brown

A glance at the array OF talent

bear out his statement. First. there's
