New York has felt it in many ways, and one of these has developed in the curtailing of telephone directories. It appears that only about two-thirds of the regular October edition of the book, that has become such an cssen j tial of business life, has been placed : in the hands of subscribers at the end of last month. Lack of white paper on which to print the edition is what j held it back. The books are leaving I the press as soon as paper to pri it j them on can be found. Every possi- ble economy of space, some of it very j ingenuously effected, has been made i to save space in the latest directory. I Just now a new attack on the pa- per problem is being started in New I York. It is to teach methods and I habits of econqmy in the use of wrap ping paper to merchants. Those who have made a study of the question declare that Americans are particu larly wasteful in this particular as compared to Europeans. It is a fault 1:1. i - i .u I iitvi:iy iu uu u.uggi.'iuieu aiouuu me i.nrisimas noiuiays. Merchants quite correctly believe that there is an at tractiveness about the well-wTapped package that works to their benefit. Liberality in this way may be wise, except when it becomes extravagance and some of the big business associa tions of New York declare that a dis tinct reform should be promoted along these lines. Our condition in regard to paper is somewhat similar to that of certain European countries in regard to food. The shortage of supply cannot be cured for the time at least, and a rigid surveyance of appetite must be instituted. Any thing like a luxurious use of paper is to bo frowned upon. One organiza tion that has as its members many of the great retail dry goods establish ments lias already taken up the plan of a campaign for wrapping paper economy.

(Reviewed by Thomas C. Kennedy in Motography.) Needless to say, Mary Pickford is the outstanding feature of "Less Than The Dust," the first release of the Artcraft Pictures Corporation, that will be shown at the Arcade to day and tomorrow. The picture is in seven reels, tach reel beinfr a generous one. The story is of an English girl who has become thoroughly Hindu through environ ment. ' The picture opens in India. Kadha s father is a member of a group of Hindus who are planning to revolt agaitist the English rule. Radha de sires to learn the English tongue and she studies faithfully. The girl and (1;iptain Townsend, commanding at the post at Sapatu, become fast friends. On the night of the revolt Radha, though forced to aid the reb els, saves the enptain's life. Townsend returns to England on receiving word that his uncle is seri ously ill. The uncle makes the cat tain his heir, explaining that his own son has disgraced the family name. The swordmaker is sentenced with other leaders of the revolt to . five years' imprisonment. Rr.mlan feels it his duty to tell Radha the truth about her birth. Radha's father, a Captain Brooke, was a victim of a drug and her mother entrusted the child to the care of the swordmake:-. Radha is sent to England by the Babu and makes her claim to the es tate of Edward Brooke, the uncle of Captain Townsend. According to the will left by Brooke, Townsend would be justified in the eyes of the law if he refused to grant Radha her share in the estate. The girl goes to a "Finishing" school and when a real English lady, she marries the cap tain. The story has been given an elab orate production. It is, come to think of it, quite novel to see Mary Pickford in a production on so large a scale. Many spectacular scenes are introduced, not the least impress ive of these being long, sweeping views of the streets of Sapatu at the time set for the revolt. John Emer son paid great attention to the spec tacular, and rightly so, because these opportunities were bound to prove more fruitful of pleasing effect when they reached the screen than any of a dramatic nature the story presented. In the heroic role, David Powell acquits himself most commendably. Ho is reserved and makes Captain Townsend a convincing chr.rncte Mary Aldcn, Mario Mnjcroni, C'esave Gravina and Francis Joyner are ef fective. Radha is a good rolo for Mary Pickford to appear in" Radha's strictly Hindu propensity for driving a sharp bargain enables the star to secure many laughs from the audi ence. Perhaps the most effective comedy sit nat ion is that in which Radha. with a few kicks, mixes up the shoes of the natives who are bath ing in the sacred pool : nd who give her the chase for entering the pool wearing her shoes. Taken all-in-all, tins film is up to i and above the usual Pickford films and can be counted upon to appeal o all and delight the Pickford fans.
