In recent years a small wing of radical religionists, who oppose i schools and go nude occasionally, have Riven Canadian authorities considerable trouble. They are dis tinct from the large conservative group, who deplore their activities. The main Canadian settlements are near Kamsack, Sask., and Nelson, with GOOO here, and small colonies are scattered over Sas katchewan. During the past few years the results of their rigid toil, begun with women in harness dragging plows on the Saskatche wan prairies 30 years ago, has re duced tho indebtedness of the col ony materially.

Craterian to Have Gala Mid nit e Frolic Western Electric New Process Noiseless Recording, considered the greatest advance in its field in tlie last four years, is latest con tribution to tho art of talking pic tures. It Is a system for recording which eliminates all. extraneous sounds, hissing and scratching noises. The new process was developed In West Coast Laboratories. The first picture produced utilizing It is Paramount's "The Right to Love," starring Ruth Chatlerton, which opens at tho Fox Craterian theater today. Tho development of this new process is a result of many years' work on the part of the sound engineers to eliminate tho "ground noises" which have marred tho perfect enjoyment of talking pic tures. Now it is possible- to record and reproduce in theatres tho faintest of sounds without having them "masked' or covered up by these extraneous, hissing and scratching sounds. Every syllabic of even the softest spoken words, whispering and Bobbing become clearly audible. Ono hushed gasp out of utter stillness may climax a dramatic crisis. A single low won) alter a long silence will startle the wall ing audience. Motion picture audiences aro well awaro of the hissing or scratching sound which becomes audible ns soon as the sound ap paratus Is switched on. In other words, during tho silent introduc tory title of a picture everything is (iulet. Just before the recorded portions of tho film start listeners are warned of tho coining sound by the scraping ground noise com ing from the screen. While in good recording this ground noise is not particularly offenslvo, It nevertheless means that any whis pers or low level sounds on tho film must be raised artificially to a relatively high volume if not to be masked by tho noise of the system Itself. While tho problem can be sim ply stated, tho method for its solu tion has been many years in thn making. At last, however, the film recording machine has been so modified that all audible evidences of Its mechanical nature have been removed and Under the new Wes tern Electric ( ocess it Is now pos sible to record the lowest whispers in thrilling silence. Fortunately ill is innovation comes at a time w hen a u d i e n ces a rc do ma nd I n g more realistic sound and at a lime when producers aro using less dMoguo and more silence. Love Is Like a Potato By i:illK CANTOR (Copyright lt30 Collier's Weekly) The main New Year's problem facing many a young man today is how to pick a bride. He should get a physical chart of his beloved and com pure her weight. Hie size of her chest ex pansion, nock, ankle and reach with his own. Tex Rickard would have been the right man for this department. Most husbands have very little data about their wives. The other day I asked a stage hand "What's the color of your wife's eyes?" "That's funny! ho said, "I can't remember. Though ono of them, I think, is black." "And how about her reach?" "No matter where I hung my pants, she reaches them." Another important thing is to get the bride's pedigree. How long her parents have been in business and why not; how many young brothers she has nnd what fur; nnd who supported her before you did and why it can't continue. Because if marriage is to bo put on a sound business basis, it should start with some kind of capital, I don't say that bachelors should form a union ond fix prices. But a catalog could be arranged and probably some husbands could be hud for us low us a hundred soap coupons, I know severtil young fellow who made a successful business of marriage after falling in other lines. One feature that never fails to make marriage interesting is the question of a man's past. But even if a man hasn't had a past he can build one up out of his family al- ; bum. I know n harmless old cod- ger, faithfully married since the first day he shaved, who weaves tho most romantic lies about pic tures he took HO years ago. He tried to impress me with a photograph of himself . and his sweetheart taken at Coney Island that shows them sitting in a paper boat in front of linen clouds. "That." he said, "Is tho girl 1 saved from drowning In the Medi terranean sea." "(io on!'' I gasped. "You wouldn't believe It, but sho belonged to the royal family, 1 think she was tho Italian king's daughter." Ilo drew calmly at his pipe. "Yep! I was rowing care lessly along In mid-ocean when I heard two peoplo arguing In the water close by me in muffled tones' Their tones were muffled because they were both refined people and because their mouths were filled with water. I noticed that the girl was struggling with the other per son, who was a man, so 1 dived in, knocked the duke on the head and took the Italian spaghetti manu facturer's daughter into my yacht."
