tachment is used for both
shooting and projecting the
movies.
This attachment can be
fitted by any one over the pres
ent lens of his camera or pro-
jector.
The company's magnetic re-
cording protector is used to
record the magnetic sound
tracks as we'll as project the
film.
Two different sound tracks
are recorded side by side on a
single stripe of magnetic ma
terial permanently bonded on
the film edge. The sound is
then played back through two
separate amplifier-speaker sys-
TENS located at opposite ends
of the screen. The screen used
at a recent demonstration Of
the 16-mm. version of Cinema
Scope was 8 feet high by 20
feet wide-a trifle big for the
average home, to be sure, but
it is probable that q smaller
screen will be forthcoming for
amateur use.
Cost Figure Uncertain
Does this mean that Cinema
Scope will soon be in every
home where there are homo
movies? The answer is, OBJ
viously. no-at least for some
time to come. Although no
firm quotations of prices have
become available yet. 1t has
been learned that a tentative
price Of $3.50 has been set for
the anamorphic lens attach
ment for the conversion of the
picture available next SPRING &.
No information is at hand as
to how much the sound con-
version will be nor the cost
of the big screen. But with
starting figure of $3.50 it can
be seen readily that the new
system is not yet within the
reach of most amateurs.
On the other hand. Cinema
Scope will be within easy reach
Of the cinema clubs with fairly
large memberships and to those
individuals who don't have to
count dollars too closely.
While the system is new in
theory. in actual practice it is
not much different from an
operational standpoint from
everyday amateur cinematog-
raphy and should add zest and
new life to a medium that we
have long since discovered to
be within the reach Of most
families Of modest means.

ford equal opportunities to
forgers to reproduce them in
great numbers.
Handicapped counterfeits
present two major problems
for the counterfeiter. The first
is the limitation Of human
coordination in faithfully en-.
craving length and breadth
Of line in proper position,
while giving attention to var
ious depths. Alterations Of
any of these not only are de-
tectable but will alter in turn
the expressions of portraits.
THE further limitation is
that, after the initial die is
made, multiple subject plates
are hard to achieve unless the
counterfeiter can obtain the
highly specialized machinery
used by the Government to
transfer the die intaglio to
printing plates. This Is much
rarer than rotogravure equip
ment.

The Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing has made 400
subject plates for engraving the
projected g. cent bicolored
Statue of Liberty stamp. 1t
also has proceeded with need
ed repairs on machinery and
other facilities required for the
production of Government
savings bonds by the tradi-
tional engraved process. These
developments would seem to
mean that the offset alterna-
tive has been Shelved definitely
and conclusively. Bureau ofh-
Gals would not authorize such
work to be done or the neces-
sary expense incurred unless
they had been instructed to
put the results to practical
use.
Meanwhile, rumors in circu-
lation in both the bureau and
the Post Office Department
indicate that the rotogravure
experiment of the Eureka
Speciality Printing Co., Scran-
ton, Pa, is being started anew.
A New York newspaper last
Sunday denied that models
had been submitted Ito Wash
tngton," but it is a matter OF
established fact that proofs
were brought here for presen-
tation to Assistant Postmaster
General Albert j. Robertson
on January 81. If these "es-
says" had been acceptable,
they would not have been
suppressed. Post Office gossip
described them as "disap-
pointing" Later 1t was re-
ported that the Eureka Com
pany was continuing the ex-
pertinent ION its own" No
official announcement has
been released either at the
department or the bureau. The
silence was considered signit1-
cant, especially since it be-
came known last Wednesday
that the Fine Arts Commits
sion has not been shown the
Eureka models as it had been
expected it would be.
The Bank Note Engravers
Guild of Washington, D. c.
has written to The Star as
follows: 1.-The stamp plates
produced by the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing are OF
the highest quality in the his
tory of the establishment. That
printing variations exist is due
to the regrettable necessity for
speed in printing. but the lin
ing of each subject on a plate,
Is an exact counterpart Of its
neighbors.
"Rotogravure dots are arb1-
trarily selected through q
process screen. There is no
practical way to place this
screen so as to insure that the
dots in one stamp fall exactly
as in the neighboring stamps.
This creates a multitude OF
plate varieties, which in many
cases results in a slight change
of expression of portraits.
Thus it may be seen that to
counterfeit a rotogravure
stamp by the same process
would require only the services
of a clever artist to reconstruct
the original drawing from the
stamp. This is made easier by
the simplicity of many of these
designs. The variations in the
patterns of dots make it practi-
cally impossible to determine
the genuineness of specimens,
even if the mechanical features
of the original are maintained.
The speed and ease with which
multiple subject plates can be
made by this method would af-
