More About the Movies 
A Plan for a Community Picture Night 
DLANNING your fun ahead, as well 
* as your work, will pay, especially 
if you live in a community where the 
possible audience for a moving picture 
is not a very large one, according to 
Major Clarence Perry of the Russell Sage 
Foundation. Major Perry, movie critic, 
who has seen several communities solve 
this difficulty by cooperation, believes 
that it pays to work together. 
If you want better movies, call a 
meeting at which every one Who is in¬ 
terested should be present—the exhibitor 
as well as the future audience. You will 
probably find that the exhibitor has his 
troubles—that he shows cheap films, 
and therefore poor films, because he can¬ 
not depend upon his audience. If he 
knows that a good picture will be sup¬ 
ported—in other words that he will 
get his money back—he will naturally be 
more willing to show it. 
Perhaps every one will agree on a 
certain night as a convenient one. The 
exhibitor may therefore agree to feature 
on that night higher-class films which 
cost him more to rent, with the under¬ 
standing that on these special nights the 
crowd will turn out well to support him. 
In some places, tickets for a course of five 
evenings, .with one good feature shown 
on each, have been sold. A sufficient 
advance sale guarantees the cost of the 
pictures; “floaters” who come in addition 
to regular signed-up patrons furnish 
the profit. 
Holding community suppers on weekly 
movie nights has even been tried and has 
broughthn distant families who otherwise 
could not finish the work in time to make 
the early start necessary to reach the 
hall before the program begins. 
Pull together. Talk things over. Agree 
on a program not too large for your 
community to support and then do your 
share to carry it out. This will help 
solve one of your hardest movie prob¬ 
lems, but you will have to do your share 
if you want to improve conditions, and 
keep on improving them. 
Save Time ironing 
-MUCH time an d energy are wasted 
•*- ^ by housekeepers in ironing things 
which are better without it,” is the state¬ 
ment of Mrs. Ida S. Farrington, special¬ 
ist in home management at the New 
Jersey College of Agriculture. 
“Every homemaker can make use of 
little helps that reduce work, save 
time, and post nothing except a little 
thought. 
“The greatest single help is to leave 
unironed many things we always have 
ironed. Chief among these things are 
dish towels. A towel that has been dried 
in the sun and air is fitter for its purpose 
of absorbing moisture than it possibly 
can be after it has been sprinkled, rolled, 
unrolled, and ironed. And think of the 
time, strength, and fuel saved by folding 
the towel smoothly without ironing! The 
same is true of stockings and woolen 
underwear. It is even true of sheets and 
pillow-cases. A little extra care in hang¬ 
ing them on the line means saving the 
time, effort, and. expense that it would 
take to iron them. 
“It may be wise to use an iron on 
pieces that have not been purified by sun¬ 
light, but this problem does not confront 
many rural women. 
“Learn to sit on a high stool while iron¬ 
ing the lighter pieces. Select an ironing- 
board that permits you to stand erect 
when you must stand, and have plenty 
of holders to avoid the discomfort of a 
hurting hand.” 
Galvanized Wash-tubs for 
Cheese Making? 
A RECENT contributor advises mak¬ 
ing cheese in a new galvanized wash- 
tub. According to government experi¬ 
ments, a galvanized pail is unsafe for a 
water-pail. I should not want to use a wash- 
tub for cheese. I am interested in the 
home-made cheese and hope some one 
who is making it for the first time will 
report in your paper^whether she has been 
success? ul or not. 
May!.I add the suggestion that a large 
salt-shaker to which have been added six 
parts of pepper will season vegetables 
“to the king’s taste,” and will make one 
shake do where two shakes were necessary 
before.— Mrs. E. M. C.

mon case, there’ll be a thousand pound on 
your ’ead—so look spry, my cove! ” saying 
which, he nodded, turned upon his heel, 
and strode away. 
CHAPTER XLVI 
HOW I CAME TO LONDON 
ACTING upon the advice of Jeremy, 
■i*. I lay hidden by day, and traveled by 
night, avoiding the highway. I thus 
wasted much time, and wandered many 
miles out of my way; wherefore, to put an 
end to these futile ramblings, I set my 
face westward, hoping to strike the high¬ 
road somewhere between Tonbridge and 
Sevenoaks; determined rather to run the 
extra chance of capture than follow hap¬ 
hazard these tortuous and interminable 
byways. 
It was, then, upon the third night since 
my escape that, faint and spent with 
hunger, I saw before me the welcome 
sight of a finger-post, and hurrying for¬ 
ward, eager to learn my whereabouts, 
came full upon a man who sat with a 
hunch of bread and meat upon his knee. 
/WHAT HAS HAPPENED 
'DETER, escaped from his captors, is 
■‘■making for London to get help. He is 
accused of the murder of his cousin. Sir 
Maurice Vibart, who swore to come between 
Peter and Charmian, “living or dead.” 
Because he thinks Charmian shot his cousin 
in self-defence, Peter has allowed himself to 
be taken prisoner, to shield his new wife 
whom Maurice also loved. 
Now I had tasted nothing save two 
apples all day, and but little the day 
before—thus, at sight of this appetizing 
food, prudence vanished. Therefore I 
approached the man, with my eyes upon 
bis bread and meat. 
But, as I drew nearer, my attention was 
attracted by something white nailed up 
against the finger-post, and I stopped 
dead, with my eyes riveted by a word 
printed in great black capitals, and stood 
oblivious alike of the man who had 
stopped eating to stare at me, and the 
bread and meat that he had set down upon 
the grass; for what I saw was this: 
MURDER 
£500—REWARD 
Wheras, PETER SMITH, blacksmith, late of SISSING- 
HURST, in the county of Kent, suspected of the crime 
of WILFUL MURDER, did, upon the Tenth of August 
last, make his escape from his gaolers, upon the Ton- 
bridge road, somewhere between SISSINGHURST and 
PEMBRY; the above REWARD, namely, FIVE HUN¬ 
DRED POUNDS, will be paid to such person, or persons 
who shall give such INFORMATION as shall lead to the 
ARREST and APPREHENSION of the aforesaid 
PETER SMITH. In the furtherance of which, is here¬ 
unto added a just and close description of the same— 
VIZ.—-He is six foot tall, and a sizable RQGUE. His 
hair, black, his eyes dark and piercing. Clajd, when last 
seen, in a worn velveteen jacket, knee-breeches buckled 
at the knees, gray worsted stockings, and patched shoes. 
The coat TORN at the RIGHT shoulder. Upon his 
wrists, a pair of steel HANDCUFFS. Last seen in [the 
vicinity of PEMBREY. 
I was conscious that the man had risen, 
and now stood at my elbow; also, that in 
one hand he carried a short, heavy stick. 
He stood very still, and with bent head, 
but more than once I saw his eyes gleam 
in the shadow of his hat-brim, as they 
turned to scan me furtively up and down. 
Wherefore I, in turn, watched him nar¬ 
rowly from the corner of my eye, and thus 
it chanced that our glances met. v
