FAGK SIX ASHLAND MtMMMilMHHHMMMt ! In the Social Realm I I ' Officer of I. C. hentertain Outgoing Officers. Covers were laid for twelve around a beautifully arranged table at Hotel Austin last Friday after noon. The proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Chisholm, were courtesy personified 1o the hostesses, the newly elated officers cf the Women's Civic Im . provement Club, and to their guests, the retiring officers. The chef at Hotel Austin is the best the hotel lias ever known, and the service knew not one flaw nor awkward in terruption. The menu was most skillfully selected and artistically presented, and both entertainers and entertained were appreciative of merit. An informal program was blended among the courses of the menu. Mrs. Emma Jack, iu behalf of the presi dent, Mrs. Neil, who was unavoidably absent, welcomed the guests, and couched some dosorving praise there in. Mrs. Jack acted as toast mistress. She called upon Mrs. Barber, the new vice-pre3ident, to toast "Our Club; It's Aim and Plans." Mrs. Barber responded in an earnest, practical nay, laying emphasis upon the aim to acquire a building lot and to beau tify it during the current year; to lay the foundation for a club home of our very own. In her manner Mrs. Barber was natural and enthusi astic. In her sweetly, kindly way Mrs. Brings, the guest of honor, re Fpended to "Our New Officers." Upon retiring to the parlor each lady present, in due turn, presented a bright thought, or a plan to help the club grow and be of F.ervice. The tivo which appealed to the writer most forcibly wore given by Mrs. Sam JicXair, who urged the organization of a hoys' auxiliary somewhat after the plan of the Ladies' Auxiliary ex cept that men interested in the bet terment of young men and boys should lend assistance and he permit ted to Join; and second, the plan of Mrs. Fred Putnam, who advocated the Idea that the literary part of the programs of the past year uplifted women end broadened them; made them sympathetic and Intelligent companions of their children In the high school and fit to share their (studies; also that this phase of the work was cultural, refining and spir itualizing. Others followed rapidly with help ful suggestions, sometimes two or three speaking at the same time, and there was not a dull moment the en tire evening and everyone went home happy. Such gatherings arc of untold value. The civic spirit caused us to choose the hotel as a meeting place, Investment Money You may have a turn of money that you are planning to use lu an Invest ment In u few months.

I Almost immediately Robert W. Paul's manufacture of the Edison j Kinetoscope, made possible by the American in v o n t o r's ne glect to pro tect his device by an English patent, devel J . Ja f oped into a treme n d o u a business ven- r i ture. However1 It was far sailing. It from being all smooth j had its ups and downs and more than once was on the thin edge of failure. It was probably these vicissitudes that cooled the ar dor of the two Greeks, who first car ried the Kinetoscope to England. In any event they made an early exit and Paul occuplod the stage by him self. The greatest problem that Paul had to face, even after he had devel- oped a world market for the ma chines, reaching even to New Zea land, Japan and South America, was that of film supply. For this he was dependent entirely on the output of "Black Maria", the fantastic name by which Edison's first crude mo tion picture studio was known. Finally two agents of this first American producer, who had secured the exclusive control of both his Kinetoscope and his film for the European market, conceived what j they believed to be a brilliant idea. They would obviate the neglected English patent proceedure by refus ing to sell films for any machine other tliai that of Edison's own make. This was quite enough to cause Paul consternation. It threatened not only to despoil his future trade, but also to work irreparable hardship upon his previous customers.

' Picture Industry Mlchwlena the invention, on his own part, of a motion picture camera and the man ufacture of his own pictures. He had no model to go by, but, through patience and long experiment was evontaully successful. However, the quest including the manufacture of several ineffectual devices before he finally hit upon the practical one ate 1 up the larger part of the small for tune he had made from his previous sale of Kinetoscopes, I As future events proved it was, In i spite of Its temporary hazard, a profitable investment principally be cause hl3 successful invention of a camera pave Paul a zest for further experiments. Long before this It had occured to the Londoner that a mo tion picture device, like the Kine- T AonAIa iirnn 1 A 1a irnni 1 tr rr nA -v ws 1 able If several people could see the pictures at once, this gave him aH problem on which his brain was half subconsciously working one evening when he sat as a spectator on even ing at a sterloptlon entertainment. As he watched the various photo graphic views of still life thrown on the screen, the Idea came to him In a flash why not apply this same principle to motion pictures? Paul went home to begin his ex periments next day upon what even tually resulted In one of the first, If not the very first projection machine ever devised. Mr. Talbot, an English author and consequently a compa triot of the inventor, maybe prompt- ed somewhat by loyalty to British blood in declaring Paul's the first of the several projecting devices per fected at about this same time. I quote as follows from Mr. Talbot's book: "About 3 o'clock one morning, in the early months of 1895, the quiet ness of Hatton Garden was disturb ed by loud and prolonged shouts. The polico rushed hurriedly to the building whence the cries proceeded, and found Paul and his colleagues in their workshop, giving vent to whole hearted exuberance of triumph. They had just succeeded in throw ing the first perfect animated pictures upon the screen. To compensate the police for their fruitless investiga tion the film, which was 40 feet lang and produced a picture 7 feet square, was run through the special lantern for their edification. They regarded the strange spectacle as ample com pensation and had the satisfaction of being the first members of the public to see motion pictures thrown upon the screen." Other writers are not so entirely positive as Talbot that Paul's was the first projection machine. Un doubtedly several persons, in differ ent corners of the world, were work ing at this time toward the same end, and wero almost contemporane ous one with the other in reaching passibly satisfactory results. It is obvious that none of these persons realized even a fractional part of the real Importance of the work they had done. But although they did not know It, they had insured the future of motion pictures on a tre mendously extensive scale. (To he continued.) Wimer Makes Public Statement John E. Wimer, candidate for city recorder, makes the following public statement: To the Voters and Taxpayers: Since announcing myself as a can didate for city recorder I have been asked by many people of Ashland my ideas relative to reducing the expense of the recorder's office in the event of my being elected. I have also been requested to pledge myself to reduce the office help, but not approving of making verbal pledges, and feeling that It would be Inconsistent, without a hidden pur pose, for any candidate to make such pledges in order to gain votes, I have answered such requests by saying, "It Is my intention, if elected, to maintain the office on as small ex pense as possible consistent with ef ficient service."

I want to say In answer to such re ports and for the benefit of the one who Btarted it, that such is not, nor ever has been, my intention, and that I am opposed to making a family af fair of any public office and that my wife will not be employed In the of fice during my administration. I have pledged myself, If elected, to devote my entire time to the work of the office, give the people longer office hours and an economical, effi cient administration. This I feel Is all any candidate can conscientiously pledge himself to do, but in view of the many questions before me I take this means over my signature as can didate and taxpayer to say that I stand for economizing on the expense of the offico wherever possible and consistent with satisfactory service. I am opposed to over-expenditure of the city finance, and if elected as re corder I shall feel it my duty to the taxpayers of Ashland to watch over and curtail the city's expenses wher ever It Is In my power to do so. I will conduct the recorder's office at the minimum cost, accounting for all money co.ieuieu, auU uauu.c n.c er matters In a businesslike manner; and If the offico can be handled with less expense than at present, I assure the voters and taxpayers my co-operation in reducing it.
