Day by day, this ambush was built up until at the end of two weeks it was large enough to conceal a man and a camera, while the pell cans took no notice of It because it had grown up so slowly In their midst that they were used to its presence. From this ambush were made those films which showed to thousands of de lighted children, and adults too, just exactly how wild pelicans live and de port themselves. Scour the Karth Moving picture men in search of the unusual and interesting are to-day scouring literally every part of the earth. One producer at present has camera men in Brazil, Australia and the Philippines, while another of his operators has just returned from a trip to Peru. In order to reach the mountain haunts of the Peruvian aborigines, this camera man had to load his films and machines and supplies upon the backs of mules and travel into the interior for several days. Then there was a big pow-wow with the chief of the tribe, and it was filially arranged that the camera man make a film of a tribal marriage with all Its native rites. [The State From Day to Day j A sad-eyed, lonely old horse, knock kneed and with the heaves, In Its twentieth year, was the bone of con tention in a lawsuit at Washington, Pa., says the Observer, of that place. To the Observer it seems as though they ought to allow the poor old vet eran to iive its few remaining years in peace, without involving it in any serious trouble with the law. A prominent citizen of Carrolltown has handed his name down to poster ity as the hero who boldly carried away a fire. A rug lying in a wheel barrow was ignited in some way or other and an alarm sent in. Un necessarily however, for the porch under which the wheelbarrow was resting was saved by the quick wit of aforementioned prominent citizen. The latest fad, which no doubt will eventually reach this State, has been introduced out west, and consists in wearing a tiny tuft of white fox fur dangling just below the fullness of the throat. It may be very alluring, at tached as it is to the throat with mucilage and easily removable, but it certainly looks like something that has blown there from a pillow and never been brushed off. Out in Harrison township Stanislaw Persinki and Charles Putka had a hot race for constable. The latter based his campaign platform on "two beers for a nickel." • • • The Sharon Herald figures it out that according to mathematics a man has one chance in 1,600,000 of driving a 200 yard hole in one. It is when the golf fiends begin to think about such elements of golf as these that the mind wanders and the poor idiot be gins to gibber. ENSLAVING THEMSELVES Great Britain's debt before this war broke out was $3,535,000,000. It had nearly doubled that figure at the end of the British fiscal year, March 31 last. The total of that date will be doubled again by March 31 next, In the estimates of the Chancellor of the Exchequer given to Parliament a "dead weight of debt" of 111,000.- 000,000. The phrase is well chosen. It will be a dead weight of proportions never be fore imposed on an industrial civiliza tion. The vanquished in war afore time became slaves. The victors be came the owners of their labor. Ger many in 1871 changed the form but not the substance in taking a billion dollar cash Indemnity from France, which put French industry under sub stantial bondage to Germany for gen erations aheaxl. Now victors and vanquished alike are enslaving themselves. They are so far being enslaved to their own monu mental debts that the victors In slavery at the end will be unable to collect productive indemnities from the van quished, equally enslaved. Taxes must be piled upon taxes merely to carry along this dead weight of debt. They are already reaching proportions in all the belligerent countries which will cripple Industry for generations to come. They may not then be equal to the interest demands of this brutal taskmaster. Debt, upon each of these nations of slaves. When this point will be reached we cannot tell. It cannot be far off as war must end. But there will then remain such a condition of widespread industrial slavery as the world never saw before or ever had to deal with against internal revolution. New : Vor k World. There was 110 acting iu this movie drama, for the participants were in capable of acting, but it is nevertheless a striking story with a most unusual setting. The courtship and bethrothal are shown and all the steps of the wed ding ceremony, which culminates when the tribal priest lifts a great earthen ware bowl high in the air and shat ters It over the heads of the newly united couple. They are then shown embarking In the groom's canoe, and paddling away down a tropical river to their new home in the jungle. Difficulties Are Tremendous The difficulties of this sort of work as compared with making dramatic films of trained actors are tremendous. The natives do not realize the import ance of keeping In focus and facing always towards the camera. Further more, they easily become tired and if they are many stops to give direction or rearranging things, they will all quit and go home, as many an operator has found to Ills distress. The days of faking in the moving picture world are undoubtedly passing away. The great majority of the films of wild life and travel shown to-dav are the genuine results of long and ardous searching in out-of-the-way countries. Sometimes, however, the operator will resort to a bit of decep tion in order to get a dramatic effect. l' s dubbed the third baseman, but everybody In Rock ford knew about the mitt, and he may have got the idea from him. Any way, that was the first glove that any ballplayer ever wore. CHAMP CLARK PRAISES T. R. "Knows a Lot and Isn't Mcalv Mouthed," Says Speaker Speaker Champ Clark in a talk at Hannibal, Mo., at the opening of the ninth annual convention of the Mis souri Association of County Highway Engineers declared that Theodore Roosevelt was an "American to the core." "I am not talking Democratic poli tics, I know. 1 am not going to dis cuss Republican politics, but I am very fond of the chief Bull Mooser Col. Roosevelt." said Clark. "He knows a little about more things than any man in the country, and is not mealy mouthed." Speaker Clark said he was opposed to "peace at any price." On the other hand, he said, he was "against bank rupting the country to build battle ships."

Hbming (Eljat Some of the trolley cars which are used by men whose morning trips per mit them time enough to read a news* paper are becoming well equipped with publications. On most, of the cars traversing suburban lines there are men who habitually leave their newspapers on the car seats. Some of (hose who travel on Second and other f city street lines do the same thing. As a result people who come on later cars find the morning papers awaiting them. "It s one thing that the trolley cars have on the jitneys on pleasant days," said a man in talking about it last evening. "The jitney gives an open view because it only runs as a rule when there is no rain and you have to read before you start or read after. In the tralley car you have the paper all ready for jou and you read in comfort." This remark Interested the trolley car conductor and he. re marked: "You would be surprised to know that there are probably twenty papers left in my car in the morning nnd probably half that number in the evening. And how many do you think stay? About one in each ten. You see. when a man gets into a car and notices a paper lie plumps down in that seat and reads the paper through. And nine times out of ten he carries it off with him. He doesn't want it, but he takes it. Now, no woman would Co that. She might read the paper, but she would leave it." Another man told a story of a magazine being left in his car. "It stayed there five trips. Some man left it and people thought there was something wrong. Some joung girl came in and pounced on it. She got interested in the story and :>way went the magazine," said he.
