FILMS SAVE TIME
Put to Good Use by Department
of Agriculture.
Pictures of Educational Value May Be
Borrowed From the Government
at Little Expense.
The motion picture is a time saver.
Suppose a county agent is showing a
group of farmers how to construct a
wooden silo; with the motion-picture
outfit he can show them in 15 minutes
what it would take him days to show
by actual demonstration. Suppose a
home-demonstration agent wishes to
show a model kitchen in Massachu
setts to a group of farm women in
Nebraska. A trip from the Great
Plains to the North Atlantic is not
necessary. The thing can be done in
a few minutes with the motion-picture
projector and a reel of films.
The United States Department of
Agriculture is using the motion pic
ture in a great many ways. Films
already made cover 112 agricultural
subjects. There are 4GO reels, or
more than 480,(MK) feet of film avail
able for distribution. All of this film
is in circulation, most of it constantly.
During the past 12 months more than
700,000 persons saw one or more of
these films.
The films were in use, not only by
the extension workers and other em
ployees of the department, but by state
colleges of agriculture, farm bureaus,
chambers of commerce, womens’ clubs
and various other organizations, its
well as commercial motion-picture
houses.
l’ersons desiring to use any of these
films can borrow them if they comply
with some necessary regulations. Ap
plications can be made through the
county agent, the director of extension
of state agricultural college, or any
other officially co-operating agency.
The borrower does not have to pay
anything for the use of the films, ex
cept the cost of transportation.
The whole matter is explained in
detail in Department Circular 114,
which has just been printed and copies
of which may be had free. This cir
cular gives a list of all the motion-pic
ture reels, It explains in detail the
borrowing process, it outlines the pro
cedure for those who would rather buy
than borrow, it tells how to select a
projector, and sets forth the advan
tages of the various kinds. It dis
cusses lights and screens, and it gives
definitions of words that motion-pic
ture users should know.
"Bees” Fooled Napoleon.
Napoleon was not satisfied with the
flenr-de-lys, when he came to the
throne of France, as a royal emblem.
He desired something more ancient
and in seeking it he saw what was
supposed to be a handful of gold bees,
their wings encrusted with a red stone
of no great value, but rich in its
pure crimson. The “bees” were scat
tered on a green cloth, and Napoleon
Inquiring into their origin, was told
they had been found in the grave of
Childeric when it was opened In 1653.
This was ancient enough for the new
emperor, and he ordered tliat they
be adopted as the imperial emblem
forthwith.
The facts ore, that what was held
to be golden bees were In reality mere
ornamentations, scattered on the har
ness of horses, especially war horses,
so that in parades they would glitter
ns much as their mailed masters. A
few bearing what was thought to be
wire legs were in reality those that
retained the wire devices for fasten
ing them to the leather or trappings.
They have since been known as “fleur
ons.” The original “bees” discovered
in the tomb had been sent as a curi
osity to Louis XIV.
It Must Have Been.
The seventh-grade pupils were writ
ing descriptions of people, and one
nither daring youngster wrote one
about the principal of the building. It
started off: “Our principal has a
cold and steely eye.” Very much
amused, the teacher of that grade
handed it to the principal, who In turn
was even more amused.
When she visited that room that af
ternoon she made mention of the de
scription. “It was quite good” she
smiled at the little writer, “particular
ly that part nbout the steely eye.”
She had expected the children to
laugh with her, but they remained
quite sober. And then a tiny, under
sized. timid-looking little girl put up
her hand. “Please. Miss R ,” she
addressed the principal, “I think he
could have written a better descrip
tion of you if he hadn’t had to sign
his name to It.”
Springs a Leak.
After gaining a reputation among
fishermen and camping parties by
many years of reliable behavior, Pu
melia lake, in the mountains of west
ern Oregon, suddenly sprung a leak
last summer like a punctured basin,
according to an article In Popular Me
chanics Magazine. Toward the end
of the season the water surface had
shrunk to a few acres, all the rest
having drained out through fissures
In the bottom, enlarged, apparently,
by some subterranean dlsturbauce.
Explain This.
“Pop r
“Yes, my son.”
“Doesn’t eating satisfy the appe
tite r
"Oh, yes, my boy.*
“Well, why la It the* the more a
man eats the mare appetite he Is said
to have?”
