We live on a thin crust, corresponding to the shell of an egg. But there is not much danger of the surface of | the earth caving in under us. For instance, here’s what it looks like, 2406 feet underground: : This picture, tak-| en nearly half a mile under the ground on which we walk, shows iron miners at work. It is part of a moving picture film, one of thou- sands that are be- ing used by ‘the government to ad- vertise American products in all for-; eign countries, - % When the Eski- . mos first saw one of Gh 3 these trade films, carried 300 miles to them on dogsleds, they were frightened nearly into fits, thinking the shadow figures were ghosts. Maybe they were not far wrong. \ Go to a movie, see a deceased person like Caruso smile and gesture on the screen, and you behold something that makes the Witch of Endor’s black magic look like parlor tricks. - It costs a lot of freight to ship a sample rail- road locomotive to China. So Uncle Sam sends the locomotive’s ghost—a movie film, showing all de- tails of how the thing works—and the cost is next to nothing. Tho redwood trees of California are the largest and the oldest living things'on earth. Some of them were giants 2000 years ago. A government trade film, showing these trees, | could be handed down to future generations after} it ends its career as a spectral salesman. By re-| peatedly duplicating the film, whenever decay of | old age set in, it would be possible for people in the year 1,922,000 to see the movie ghost of these trees tossing in a storm during the year 1922.

REJECTED LOVE OF SHEIK Pursued across Egypt for three weeks by a real sheik who wouldn’t take “no” for an answer, was the experience of Miss Dorothy Farnum, 23 year old New York dramatist and author: Miss Farnum returned recently on the Car- smile when ship news reporters interviewed her.

The receipt: for the “Folies” engage- ment last season, $2,457, exceeded by 335 the gross business played to by Al Jolson at the same theater. Tho “Follies” business here was all the more notable because the scale of ad- mission’ prices were considerably: low- er than those asked for the Jolson show. This new second annua] production of the “Follies” igs an even more ex- pensive show than the first edition.
