Motion Pictures
Said to Be Help to
American Industry
LONDOX, April ' 2. UP)
"Trade follows the film," says the
London Daily News in an article re
lating to the benefits obtained by
American industry through tbe med
ium of the moving picture. Ameri
can clothing and shoes and various
other articles have become so well
known through the film in various
parts of the world that there is a
regular demand for them and Brltinh
dealers have started fashioning their
goods accordingly, saya the news
paper. In this respect the Dolly
News quotes Percy Nash, one of the
best known British producers, as
saying:
"So great is the. influence of the
American film that many British
manufacturers of ready made cloth
ing and shoes have had to alter their
designs and to manufacture an
American models with which their
overseas customers have been, fa-
mllinrized by the American moving
picture."

Profit After Demise
COKDOVA. Alaska, April 2.
W) Wnshington and other states of
the Union might profit from the jack
rabbit peat if they killed the animals,
powdered the meat and sold it to
Alaska fox farmers for summer feed,
In the opinion of J. Williamson, own
er of the largest fox farm along the
Kuasian Itivcr on the Kcnai penin
sula. More than fi.000 rabbits were
slaughtered by Williamson last win
ter. The meat was ground, placed
on racks over a stovo where it wns
dried, and then pulverised and stored
iu sucks.
The rabbit powder was mixed Willi
water and vegetables, boiled and
served to foxes during the summer,
making an- agreeable change of diet
from fish and porcupine.
Another form of nreaerving the
meat is to pack it when fresh Into
five-gallon oil cans. About HB rab
bits are put Into one can. Water is
poured over the meat and the can
set outdoors until Its contents freese.
The can is then thawed loose nnd
removed from the block containing
the ment. The block Is stored In ice
houses that prevent it thawing until
feeding time in summer.

Father Speaks
Her father said he believed her in
sane. Jte gave this'opinion after out
lining a history of her delinquencies
and her conduct since her arrest.
In cross-examining hitn, Mr. Skillin
brought out that the girl had told her
father she "didn't like'' Alexander
Moofdiii, her chief counsel.
The defense went into its theory
that parental influences disposed Dor
othy toward insanity. Under question
ing Joseph Ellington said:
"About three months before Dor
otby was born her mother came Into
the bedroom in which I was sleeping
alone, and tried to choke me, I over
powered her with difficulty, after
which she fell to the floor in a faint."
Delinquencies Recited
The father then began a recital of
bis daughter s delinquencies as a
child. Tbe first serious breach in her
condurt, he said, came at the age of
12 when she and another girl "were
picked up by a sailor and a soldier"
and stayed away all night. .
He said she played truant from
school frequently and finally was de
tained in a juvenile home for a time.
"Did you ever talk to your daugh
ter regardirg her late hours?"
."I did," said the witness. He ex
plained that he warned her that she
should consider her future, that a girl
of her years should not go with older
persons of doubtful character.
- Girl Nervous.
As her father exposed her life, the
girl continued to twist her handker
chief. He was asked "Did you and your
wife ever attend church?"
"Not since our marriage."
"Did Dorothy ever attend Sunday
school?"
"Once in a while, when she was
little."
Kl ling son said that when she was
a babe he had used alcohol "pretty
heavily."
He detailed the girl's childish rages.
She was not obedient, he added.
"Did her mother ever have any
control over her?"
"Never."
"Did her mother ever whip her?"
"No, but sometimes her mother
would get angry and yell at her."
Element Separation ;

CHICAGO, April 2. Two mach
ines, pronounced among the most ef
ficient thus far built for the separa

Kent chemical laboratory of the Uni

mercury is caused to run out a differ
