j OPPORTUNITY TO ENLIST
IN THE lT. S. NAVV
_
| Maor P. \V. Davison has received
She following letter from A. C. Kail,
j of the Unifed States recruiting sta
jtion at Seattle.:
"Referring to your letter of May
117, 1917, regarding recruiting for
1 the navy, you are informed that the
j navy collier Saturn will be in Alaska
j some time in the future, and men can
| enlist on board, but it will be neces
sary for them to make their way to
| the port she may be in.
It is stated that the Saturn will be
' at Cordova for some time for the pur
! pose of allowing men to enlist, and
iany Valdez citizen desiring to enter
this desirable branch of the service
[ may do so by applying to the of-'
ficer in command on board the ves
jsel. Efforts are under way to have
the Saturn visit Valdez for two or
three days to give the young men of
this city a chance to enlist, but a defi
nite reply has not yet been received
I to the request.
i Don't forget the big hand dance to
' night in Moose Hall.
MOTION PICTURE NOVELTY.
ttatuM That Ara Mad# to Dane#, Act,
Jump and Fight.
Tlie motion picture folk have hit
upon a novelty called “animated sculp
ture,” which means that they fake
statues and make them move. The feat
Isn't as hard ns it seems, although the
work required is much greater than
drawing hundreds of pictures with pen
and ink for a n.ovie cartoon.
The figures are first modeled in clay,
then changed to different poses and
photographed otic by one. The photos
are thrown ->n the screen without a
break, so that they jump about as if
they were real. The effect is startling
ly realistic and highly amusing. In one
of the films only re ently completed
there are no less than nine figures, all
of them moving about as if they were
flesh and blood. The rather jerky ac
tion serves only to enhance the amus
ing result.
To appreciate the amount of work
required in making these new films it
must l»e remembered that each time
ohe of tlie sculptured figures moves a
new pose must be made. This means,
in other words, that tlie camera must
stop until the sculptor goes over each
plastic figure and molds it into the cor
rect position before he can photograph
it. There are sixteen different poses to
a foot of film. Hence for the ordinary
reel of 1,000 feet there are 10.000 sepa
rate poses for each figure. Imagine the
work required when tbi%e or more
figures have to be made for each scene!

THE “OPEN DOOR”
What la Maant by tha Ttrm In Intar
national Polities.
Tbe “open door" is in international
politics tbe principle of equal treat
ment in trade with oriental countries
for all trading nations as opposed to
the policy of effective monopoly in
favor of any one nation.
The phrase came into popular use
toward the end of the nineteenth cen
tury. when various European nations
were trying to establish “spheres of
influence'' in China.
The United States was opposed to
the granting to any nation of exclusive
trading privileges In these “spheres of
influence.” aul in 1S99 John Ilay, sec
! retary of state, addressed a circular
note to the interested powers, asking
[ them to pledge themselves not to iti
j terfere with any treaty port or with
any vested interest within their re
i speetive spheres of influence, to en
i gage that discriminating customs and
, port duties should not be levied in
! such spheres and that within any na
i tion's sphere of influence no higher
, railroad charges should he imposed
upon subjects of other nations than
I upon subjects of the nations having
I such spheres.
The pledges asked wor£ given in
■ their entirety by France, Germany.
: Great Hritaln, Italy and Japan, ltus
! sia reserved the right to levy discrimi
natory duties.—New York Times.
Trap Shooting.
Home trap shooting has become al
1 most as popular as shooting at gun
I clubs, and people living in the country
lind it a splendid w-ay of entertaining
! their friends. They select an open field
I for their shooting grounds, and the
| equipment consists simply of a hand
! trap and a barrel of targets. Tlie guests
' are invited to bring their guns and am
! munition and spend an afternoon in
! the country. And. oh. the fun they do
' have!
Aside from the fascinations of trap
shooting, one must consider the great
benefit of the sport to women and
young girls. As a streugthener of mus
cles and a steadier of nerves it can
j hardly be surpassed. It also causes
j women to lose all signs of timidity and
! makes them fully competent to take
| care of themselves In all circumstances

Niagara Falla Erosion.
Canada is rapidly gaining possession
of the greater part of Niagara falls.
The American falls now carry less
than a twentieth of the entire flow.
For 200 years or more the center of
Horseshoe falls has been receding by
erosion at the rate of about five feet a
year. The edge of the American falls
recedes much more slowly—only a
few inches a year. As the Canadian
falls drop back toward I.ake Erie they
receive a larger and larger volume of
water.—Youth’s Companion.

Good Advice to Motorists.
The precaution enjoined by police
department officials of New York city
on owners of motor trucks. “Don't nl
low your driver to rely too much on the
horn." might be accepted by motorcar
owners generally to the advantage of
all concerned. A widespread observ
ance of this direction would afford ex
cellent discipline for the drivers as
well as increased safety for pedestrians
and would mitigate the noise on city
streets.—Christian Science Monitor.
Training Children.
A common fault among children is
that of self excuse. If reproved for
idleness, untidiness or other childish
failings the excuse is often ready. This
is a bad habit, which if not checked is
apt to degenerate into untruthfulness,
and the lie becomes ns easy us the ex
cuse. /_
Truly Remarkabla.
“That's a wonderful child you have.”
“Yes, indeed. What.impresses you as
being most remarkable about him?"
"The fact that he’ll show off when
you want him to.”—Detroit Free Press
