Ab an oiiiinple of the dlffi'tiii m that sometimes confront directors of motion pictures and exemplifying their Ingenuity In overcoming them, It was found that after hnvlng Jour neyed all the way from Hollywood, California, to l'ortlnnd, Oregon, to take scenes In a prominent hotel there for Julian Kltlngc's second Paramount picture, "The Clovor Mia. Carfax," that Uio lighting facilities were Inadequate; that In to ny, In sufficient current precluded the poss ibility of making interior scenes In that particular hotel. There was considerable discussion and much chagrin, but finally Don ald Crisp, the director of the picture "The Clever Mra.

"It Is almost as fine to be a mo tion picture actor as to be the Pres ident. The way thoy feted me, the mntim r In which I was escorted fron plnpr to pTnce, together with tho oth r ' robt 'h' iiitiipuny and Mr Ci lap, my director, under the auspi ces of tho Chamber of Commerce and the city officials, was mighty fine, let me tell you." Mr. lCltlngo, whoso female Imper sonations surpass anything that han ever been attempted along that line upon either stage or screen, is more than pleased with his work In motion pictures so far. . lie declares that It opens up many new channels for hlf; characterizations and he believes thnt "-he Clever Mrs. Carfax" will be hard to beat. "The Clever Mrs. Carfax" waB written by Hector Turnbull and Gardner Hunting arranged it for the screen. The 'director, Mr. Donald Crisp, was also the -director of Mr. Klllngo's first production, "The Countess Charming," which proved ono of the screen sensations of the season.

A use of hospital ships has been estnb lished. The greater part of the with drawal from the Dardanelles was ef fected by means of hospital ships on which were carried a few wounded but many more unwounded. But for these breaclies of the Geneva reinven tion the greater part of the Darda nelles troops would have been de stroyed. . "Now, again, similar misuse has been proved.
