‘England’s Motion Picture Center Has Rather Ul;pleannt Name of .. Beveham Wood, England, Jan. 28. OP—Ot course the residents of Bore- Bam Wood realise that “Boreham™ s a pretty tough name for a mov- ing-picture colony. But Boreham Wood had its name oenturies before Hollywood got into the Klieg Light, and the residents of the Elstree suburb bitterly resent the effort of movie magnates to christen their village after the Cal- ifornia city of twinkling moyie stars. ' Boreham Wood and Elstree are really almost one village and exist- ing’ picture studios are in Elstree, but thy new development, which hopes to corner all the great stu- dios of England, is really in Bore- ham Wood. fiction of literature and increase Juvenile took the lead in the books published during 1927 which | totalled 13,810, a greater number than in any year in the history of British publishing, and 608 more than In the previous record of 1925.

Its first parent was Earl Russell. who was Chairman of the London County Council when registration of motorcars began. He kept it for three years, on a varlety of cars, and then surrendered it. He said it made him too well known to the police, who doubted its authenticity.

After mouths of heated contro- versy between ihe federated rail- ways and mauy of the local inhabi- tants, who, by word of mouth and in writing, had indignantly protest- ed against “the untimely departure” of the last train out of Marburg, the federated rallways hits upon the unique idea of uneapectedly putti the matter to a vote by the passen- before it steamed out of the station. Under the supervision of the train's personnel the pasiengers were asked to answer with “yes" or “no” if the pressnt achedule should continue, The “noes” had it. There- upon the railway company agreed to alter the time-table and fix the de- parture of the night train from Marburg for a later time in con- formity with the wishes of the ma- jority of commuters.

Admission is free to | the young pecople of all classes. Actors and actresses gre supplied from the numerous theater of Ber- lin. Later the district theater will probably have its own cast. It is hoped that the free theater will prove so attractive that the young men and women in the dis- trict will prefr to spend their eve- nings there, rather than reading worthless literature, frequenting cheap saloons, or making love in dark side streets. New Kind Of Grain Must Be Developed To make Germany agriculturally self-supporting, the creation of new Kinds of grain and other plants was advocated by Prof E.
