RISK LIVES CARRYING MAILS Swiss Postmen Face Grave Dangers in Execution of Their Duty Among the Mountains.

MARSHALL MOTION PICTURES IN ITALY Development of Industry In That Country -Makes it Second Only to the United States. The production of motion pictures, says the United States commerce re- pert, is an industry for which physi cal conditions ir Italy and the Ttallan temperament are peculiarly favorahle. and consequently this branch of activi- ty early attained a high degree of de- \e!npmcnt Italy now claiws to rank second to’ the Uuited States among the nations of the world in the manu facturing of motion pictures. An iden of the importance of this ind ry In thé economic life-of the country can be derived from the fact that the work- ing=capital employed is now estimated at 300,000,000 lire and the actual capl- tal invested at 100,000,000 lire. There are elghty-two companies engaged in the production of flms, of which the greater number are located at Rome, which naturally presents. unusual ad- vantages from the scenic standpoint. The annual production of new films in Italy has reached 1,000,000 meters. and if It is estimated that forty coples are made from each negative the total of printed filins is 64,000,000 ‘meters. DRAWN WITH MASTER HAND Walter Scott’s Portraits of the Past a Notable Contribution to Eng- Hsh Literature. \ ) ‘No wonder, that Walter Scott, who, baving shown .the world in the Min- strelsy and the Lay that he was ed- ftor and poet, and being himsclf a novel reader, should be utterly dissat- isfied with the quality of the existing supply. The French Revolution, dis- tinguished by its leveling principle and action, had ended in substituting a feudal empire for an effete nyunrchy; and even when Napoleon was redivid- ing Europe into kingdoms and prinel- palities for his family and his follow- ers, there had sprung up—or rather revived—a deep devotion to the chiv- alry which bad done so much in the past, and whose traditions had in- grafted grace into history and breathed reality into song. To this feeling, this prineiple, Scott had ‘ministered in his poems; and now, acknowledged head of the romantic school, he resolved to extend its lim- its, beyond the ballad to the narrative poem and use prose as the more suit- able medium. He strove to delineate the past as it seemed in the eyes of men who were dubious of the present and afraid of the future—noble, state- Iy, glittering and gay, with the pulse of life ever beating to heroic measures. His view of feudalifm in “The Talls- man,” “Ivanhoc” and “The Fair Mald was not the caricature a few preceding authors had drawn, but a portrait—faithful, I idealized.— ,tnhert Shelton Mackenzie. —ee Unconventional. An old woman from Sullivan county came to a recent convention held at Tndianapolis. Now, never before had she attended a convention, and she had very strange ideas of-conven- tlons—such as to thinking that they were made up of banquets, parties. ete. But this one was just a line of lectures, lectures, lectures. And the old lady did not like it at all. At the close of the last day she wen!t back to her hotel, weary, disappointed and -bungry. She saw another dele- gate and began to talk to her of the woék's lectures. “No, Indeed, I have not liked this,” she sald emphatically, “and more than that, T know I shall never be a conventional woman."— Indianapolis News. | Outraqe | FIFTY-ONE NATIONS AT LEAGUE OF NATIONS MEET United States, Turkey and Mexico Are Not to Be'Rep- Fesented ‘at Meeting Tomorrow —AND— Armistice Day Georges Carpentier World war hero, champion of Europe, gentleman and scholar—in “ | - | (By United Press.) | London, Nov. 9—Fifty-one nations, | large and small, and«inhabited by peoples of every race, color and ereed, will be represented at the hrst!
