It is equipped to accommodate 150 overnight guests and has gained famed for its Sunday chicken dinners.

The view of the great valley from the headlands of the park affords a sweeping panorama with the Indiana and Kentucky hills rising on either bank and the river appearing and disappearing in a wide bend. Clifty Inn has a front porch which offers outstanding scenic effects to the rocking chair vacationist and the wooded hills have trails to lure the most ardent tramper. Potawatomi Inn at Pokagon is the newest of the hotel ventures and offers metropolitan service in a shoreland setting with plenty of woodland on one of Indiana’s largest lakes. Lake James.

MEXICO MAPS CENSUSINI93O Plans Thorough Count of Country’s Resources. Bn Science Service MEXICO CITY, May 25. Preparations are now being mr s by the Mexican department of statistics for the most thorough census in the history of the country, to be taken in 1930. Previous censuses have only counted the population, but this one will be industrial and agricultural as well, a factor that will be of great advantage to the country in the shaping of its internal policies, and of interest to foreigners who are seeking trade channels or desirous of founding industries here. One of the curious anomalies of Mexico, is that all the great industries for w'hich the country is noted, such as the production of gold, silver, oil, sugar, cotton, and the like, are foreign owned, and it has been said by critics that Mexico has no t~d us tries of its own. The present census will reveal the conditions in the minor industries, so important in the economics of the country, but unorganized and heretofore unrecognized. Many of these smaller industries are Indian, a survival of native business from before the Conquest. BRITON GETS U. S. RADIO Bn I'niird Pros CONCORD, N. H..

Tinted Films to Return as Result of Invention

Experts Conquer Technical Difficulties Caused by Talkies. By Science Sen ice NEW YORK, May 25—Tinted motion picture films, with red for fir J scenes, blue for night scenes, green for forest scenes or yellow where artificial light is represented, will now return to the theaters, from w’hich they w’ere forced for technical reasons with the advent of the talkies. This is made possible with anew series of films announced this morning at the meeting of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers at the Bell Telephone laboratories here. Dr. L. A. Jones, head of the physics department of the Eastman Kodak laboratories, under w'hose direction the tinted film was developed, described their advantages. Before the days of the talkies, the familiar tinted films were obtained by printing on tinted stock, furnished by the various film manufacturers. This was like the ordinary positive film on which the pictures were printed, except that in its manufactui'e a dye had been incorporated into the celluloid base. Produced with Sound Strip Most of the sound or talking j movies today are produced with the | sound record on a strip alongside the individual picture frames which * carry the visual record. This strip i varies in transparency. A beam of light passes through it as it runs through the projector, j and thence to a photo-electric cell, | which converts the variations of ! light to variations in electric cur- ! rent. This current is amplified, and 1 operates loud speakers, where it is converted to sound. Just as photographic plates are very sensitive to blue or violet light,

and very insensitive to red light, for which reason a red light is used in their development, the photo-electric cell is also most sensitive to blueviolet light. Thus, when red tinted film was used, the color of the film prevented the light getting through to the cell. Yellow stock, though It did not absorb as much of the active light rays, also absorbed some of them, and even the blue film was not exactly the right color for the maximum sensitivity. Sixteen separate tints have now been developed, running the entire range of the spectrum. A seventeenth is without color, but imparts a silvery hue to the picture. GAMBLE ON MARRIAGE PARIS, May 25.—Matrimony is getting to be more and more of a gamble. Some married companies are now taking out insurance policies covering both in event of a change of affections.

A, E. F. CAPITAL CAN’T FORGET DAYSOF GLORY Every Family in Chaumont Keeps Memory of Some U. S. Doughboy. BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent CHAUMONT, France, May 25. This old city, once capital of the A. E. F., has wrapped itself again in the calm of the provincial city of France but will never forget its glorious days wnen General John J. Pershing made the headquarters of his army in an old French military barracks and brought here most of the grand figures of that day—Clemenceau. Wilson, King Albert of the Belgians, Haig and many others. Chaumont lives In the past, but | the tourist coming here would have j to search hard for any trace of the j American occupation. There is a j little marble plaque on the town hall walls, but you have to be really ! curious to decipher the script which j informs you that Genera Pershing j was received there in September, | 1917.

One Office Left Os the many hastily built structures which housed the brains of the A. E. F„ and the staff offices where the American battle plans were drawn up in all their careful detail, but little remains. Only one of the many temporary barracks is in place and it is used as an office by the roads superintendent. When General Pershing came to ! take over Chaumont for the American army, he resided in a palatial house, “La Gloriette,” which faced on the great open square, the Champ de Mars. That place is now a home for aged, and no trace can be found of General Pershing’s occupation. The troops of the French army now barracked in CWymont have the most agreeable lodgings of the whole army. They live amid the comfort that the' Americans! put there for themselves. The barracks are lighted by electricity; there are bath-rooms andssho r er-baths. a movie theater, library aoid real mess tables to sit down to. All those were gifts of the Americans when they left. Named Street After U. S. The municipality sought to venerate the memory of the A. E. F. and changed the name of one of the principal thoroughfares to the avenue des Etats-Unis, (avenue of the United States), but the name is rather long to pronounce, so many

of the older citizens call it by its previous name, "rue du Pont.” General Pershing has come back to Chaumont several times, and he is still the greatest, figure of the war in the eyes of the population. Elsewhere in France, the glory of the A. E. F. may have been dimmed by time and the victories belittle, but not in Chaumont. Every family keeps its memory of some American boy, and many of these French people keep up an intermittent correspondence with the boys they billeted ten years ago.
