U. S, FILMT INVASION ALARVING BRITAI “Trade Follows the Film,” Is Plea in Fight for Heavy Tax on Imported Movies. Correspondence of the Assoclated Press, LONDON, March 11 —The moaning and wringing of hands over the sad state of the British moving plcture film business wa louder day by day. Perhaps the public cares, but it shows no inclination to cease crowding info the hundreds of Brit- ish theaters where American films are run off almost exclusively, year in and year out The B m makers at Hollywood, ir voices fervently, hop- | 1 the ears of hoth gov- propaganda contained dal producta of the d New York fall on deaf ears, trade, e very lifeblood of the empire, Is brought into play “Trade Follows the Film." Tt would seem that trade ha broken itselt of the habit of follow- nz flags; these davs It follows the film. There is a very paign on to have the Baldwin gov- ernment slap a heavy tax on foreign films and help the tottering movie magnates of this country until their business grows up and becomes steady on its feet. The government has so far kept silent upon its intentions, if any, as regards the movies. Meanwhile dollar-laden magnates | of the movies breeze in from Broad- way, ono after another, and whizz around the British Isles, building up defenses against competition from other sources and bolstering their English business. Some of them have even gone so far as to begin building or buying large theaters of their own in the precincts of Piccadilly Cireus.

By Consolidated Press. Dr. J. Harris Rogers, discoverer of the principles of submarine wireless communication and leading pioneer in underground transmission, has one more theory that he wants to prove. Having demonstrated this week hat signals flashed from an under- e antenna of four 50-foot strands in Washington can be picked up by an outside aerial on the Pa- ific Coast Dr. Rogers today ap- pealed to the amateurs of the Middle and Far W to assist him in prov- ing that his signals can be received in those parts of the country with- out static and without fading by the |using of an undérground recelving antenna. | “In the reports from all parts of the country on the reception of my messages on antenna situated above ground it is noted that there is very little din; but the majority of the st. » that practically no mination of static has been ob- tained,” Dr. Rogers declared. “If 1 could find one or two ama- urs in the Middle West and on the cific Coast who would be willing to spend the few hundred dollars necessary to install an_experimental underground antenna, I am satisfled that they would be able to hear my sfgnals distinctly and without the annoyances of static that will always |prevail in reception with aerials above ground.” 53 Last year, in his first experiments with underground transmission on high wave lengths and low power, Dr. Rogers successfully demonstrated | nis theory of static elimination by | sending staticless messages between his home at Hyattsville, Md., and | Philadelphia. In his new {ests which | he # conducting on 180 meters, with considerably increased power, he is confident that the same success can bo obtained in transmission over appears to have benefited physically from his recent successes.

The famous Eleusinian mysteries were secret religious rites and ceremonies in honor of Demeter or Ceres, annually celebrated at eusis, near Athene. These cercmonies symbolized the idea of death and resurrection, and are be- litved to have consisted of certain spec tacles, sometimes brilliant and some- times frightful. Their irstitution is attributed to Cad- us, to Erectheur or to Bumolpus. The “Eleusinian Mysteries’” were introduced into_Rome and were finally abolished by Theodosius the Great in 389 A. D.
