From Berlin came reports of a new photochemical process for producing naturally colored cinema films at no greater expense or effort than black and white effects require. An ordinary camera was used and an ordinary monochromatic film, treated specially but simply. No "screen" or "color filter"* was needed on camera or projector. Fringes of color-bane of films made with filters by superimposing sets of negatives-were unknown. The only features of the invention described by correspondents were: 1) that the film had to be run twice as fast as a black and white film (i.e. 32 instead...
...have his chief beneficiaries thus saluted him. The United Typothetae of America (U. S. employing printers) waited until last March, and the Clubs of Printing House Craftsmen (U. S. printing executives) waited until last week, to salute, in his 70th year, the author of practically all modern picture-printing processes - half tones, color plates, intaglio or "rotogravure." The author, in short, of the pictures of murderers and statesmen in the newspapers; of the sepia supplements and the ravishing hosiery advertisements; of the stunning magazine covers, richly illustrated natural histories, automobile catalogs and many more visual luxuries that are rushed today...

Sanders is now asking to be permitted...

In a moment she emerged, her costume as bold as ever. The feathers, put together with a new waterproofing process, shed water like a duck's back...
...should be toned down, by deletion or other euphemisms. Thus, 28 pages of a biology text by Truman Moon of Littletown (N. Y.) High School were deleted in toto, and to save argument Author Moon was not even consulted about it. Statements like, "Evolution is a slow and gradual process," and "It must be remembered that the upright position of man is an acquired position," were simply left out. Upright Texas believers may now trust their children abroad in the fearsome school world. Intelligent Texans, the theory has it, will understand the diplomatic Fergusons' little gesture and explain...
