Tho First Scripts
Twenty years ago the scenario for
a story was almost frequently an
idea jotted down hurriedly` on any
acrap of paper that happened to ly-
ing. about. Fifty feet was the length
of the first so-called stories, when
they developed into five hundred,
which was considered quite enough
film to tell any story in -even Ben
Hur. When one thousand feet was
reached (still the footage for one
reel of film to -day) the industry set-
tled down on business. Now the
scenario was quite a formidable af-
fair -it required sometimes two hun-
dred and fifty words to tell a story,
although more often .seventy-fivo
or one hundred words would do.

Fighting for Ideals
It was while I was with Biograph
, that I made a picture in two thous-
and loot -just twice the length of
the usual feature filen. It was called
- "Eris Trust Fulfilled" and I could not
cut it clown to one th0u3illld feet
ewithout ruining it. Therm was some
stormy executive sessions and I fin-
ally refused to run i t at al if it had to
be cut to the thousand feet require-
ment. So we made arrangements
with the exhibitors to run one reel
one week and the second one the
week following. This Wes- the first
two -reel motion picture but in a very
short all the companies were mak-
ing them. •
The greatest stride forward in the
making of motion pictures has been
in the METHOD of telling the story,
suits which can be obtained in any
of the stores. These suits only pro-
tect the hips and upper parts of the
thighs and leave the balance of the
body ex -posed to the sun's rays.
It is well to bear in.mlind that in
order to get the therapeutic benefits
it is not absolutely necessary that
you be exposed to the direct rays of
the sun -there is the sky shine, or
reflected rays from the sky and
clouds. On a clear day you may lie
or sit on the shady side of the house,
with the blue dame above you, and
get from ont:-third to one-half of the
benefits of the rays of the sun that
you w'onld get by exposing yoursell
directly to thele.

should be remembered --netting, li-

Canada's Co-operative Sugar Pool
The little village of Plessisville,
Que., east of Montreal on the
Canadian National Railways in
the very heart of the finest mapie
groves of old Quebec province,
has seen developed in recent years
Canada's first really big maple
sugar concentration, the co -o er-
attve organization known as "The
Maple Sugar Producers of Quebec,"
Incidentally it represents Canada's
latest successful effort in co-
operative marketing.
Some years ago the Quebec
Department of Agriculture began
seriously to give attention to the
maple sugar industry by en-
couraging and aiding the farmers
in the production of a high grade
maple syrup. Their efforts were
largely nullified by the fact that
the purchasers of the syrup gave
the farmer who produced the hest
quality syrup no better price than
the farmer who •produced poor
stuff. Then the Quebec Govern-
ment went one step further and
established in a small way a co-
operative plant. Today, at Plessis-
vtlle, this plant is operating full
shift 24 hours a day, employing
28 men, taking thousands of
gallons of syrup from the farmers,
and manufacturing and marketing
a high-grade maple sugar and
syrup at the rate of two million
pounds of maple sugar and 300,000
gallons of maple syrup yearly.
The products are marketed
under a special brand and have
-Maio Canadian NaNevn' T1d'a•,as
found a world market, though most
of tho product is market ed in
Canada and in the Eastern States.
Thousands of farm r,. now 11nelit
by the new maple auger -pool,"
and the maple sugar industry is
at last on a huge c•0nnnereial /male.
Further steps have been taken by
the Quebec Government to extend
the organization among the farm-
ers. The organization is operated
exactly as Canada's wheat pool,
the farmers obtaining full benefit
of top price.
The pictures show tanks in the
factory at Plessisville, and inset
