MANY TONGUES ARE NEEDED BY MODERN FOREIGN TRADESMAN (Continental Edition of the London Mail) The wise young men who are learning now not one but several foreign languages are the men who will skim some of the cream of prosperity when British export trade gets into ita stride again. Not one, but several. I emphasize the phrase. Bl-llngual men are common enough already. It Is hardly possible for the average man to know more than three languages thoroughly, but once these have been mastered it is not difficult, by applying special methods, to learn to read, if not to speak, a great number of others. And a young man with that knowledge and a taste for a business career has something valuable to sell. The principal European languages "are divided Into groups: the Germanic, with English, Dutch, Swedish. Danish, and German; the Romance, including French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, etc.; and Slav, with Russian, Serbian, Bulgarian and Polish, Czech and Ruthenian, The various languages of each group are closely related to one another and the groups are also connected. All the languages in one group can be learned by starting with one language in that group and applying rules which 6how almost invariably what form, for instance, a given word In French will take in Italian or Roumanian, and how the Roumanian or Portuguese word will almost to a certainty appear in its French dress. The best way of beginning is to take a short course of reading in the history of one's mother tongue. This fihows the connection between English and its siBter languages and prepares the ground for study in either the Romance or Germanic group. Then much may be done with a list of the

vowels and one of the consonants, together with a few easy rules giving thejr variations in the different tongues. The same method may then be applied to the second group, and it is encouraging to know that many of the s tame rules and exceptions, with their reasons, apply in both. If the student started with a fair knowledge of French and German he would now be able, after going rapidly through an elementary grammar, to read any of the Romance and Germanic languages with little effort. The rest is merely a matter of practice. Though the Slav group is more' difficult, it will be found, especially If the first two groups have been cavefully gone through and one of the Slav languages commenced, that similar methods may be applied in this group. The reward the literature of the whole Slav world apart from affairs of commerce makes it worth while.

Secrets of the Studio on Hi 'The Heart of Humanity" Th film was over eleven months In preparation. The actual cost of production amounted to about $335,000. Over 200.000 feet of film were used to obtain the eight reels comprising the feature as it is at present. The actual cost of one fifteen-foot pcene from the photoplay was J12.S52, averaging close to $Sr7 per second or per foot of film. Thi3 is perhaps the most expensive scene ever filmed. This particular scene was three days in the making. One t susand and forty-seven extras were used in the scenes. During the entire production 3.006 names were put on the list of extras, many men having to be used, because re-inforceruents were needed frequently. Seventeen completely built houses were'destroyed to produce some of the required effects. A standard, brand new airplane was burnt to ashes after falling from an elevation of 4.000 feet. Two cameras were destroyed by explosions which proved to be more powerful than estimated. During the process of production, on the Universal stages, the largest in the world, the. interior settings occupied an area of 120,000 square feet the largest area ever devoted to a single productcion in the history of tho cinema.

FATHER

HER SHOULDERS PRONOUNCED PERFECT; THEN WHY COVER THEM UP, MADLAINE?

Madlaine Traverse. A committee of modistes has decided that Madelaine Traverse, Fox) motion picture actress who was recently made a star, has the most perfect shoulders and neck to be found in the West Coast ctudios. This apparently! is merely confirmatory, as no one has ever disputed such an assertion. Butj if 'tis so, why does Madlaine swathe her pulchritude in many yards of veil-1 ins?

Men Aren't in Love Who Say So Says Philly Cynic Philadelphia Enquirer No man is ever really in love who can say so with all the ease, ardor and eclat of a stage lover. No man ever loved a woman just because she was good. The man who says pretty things to his wife all the time may have had lots of practice either before or since his marriage. The husband who never gives his wife a decent word or a compliment would knock down any other man who would treat her in the same way. The sincerest lovers are those who are tongue tied and don't know where to put their feet. Real and False Courage. A man who seems very stupid in a crowd can often be extremely interesting in a dimly lit, cozy corner with only one other person present. There are two kinds of courage the courage of the limelight, which prompts a nice young man in white ducks to jump overboard after a girl's handkerchief, and the real courage that makes a man face the horrors of a fashionable wedding, the torture of meeting the bills of a housekeeping apartment, and the agonies of walking the floor all night with a baby. The two are seldom coupled in one young man. The first wife of a widower never was such an angel as she seem3 to him after his second marriage. A man is like a piece of cloth warranted to wash and matrimony is the laundry. It may , improve him, orlt may take all the Color out of him. You have to take the chances.

AN HE rt HC A'lO NNU I MC.lt LiPPE-R TiimrTV rnninii innim rnuiun MADE THE WAR PAY (Birmingham Age-Herald) The thrifty French, according to all reports, did not let the war interfere with their doing business with tho American army at a profit. There is no way of telling how much money was left in France by spendthrift doughboys, who spent their money like millionaires, and thereby caused a resultant upsoaring of prices. Our soldiers themselves are chiefly to blame for the high prices charged them in France. Most of them had money to spend and they didn't care what a thing cost. Another phase of the American army's stay in France Is brought out in a recent dispatch. It is stated that French claims for damages caused by the operations of American troopa amounted to about $1 for every man In the expeditionary forces. While vigorously denying that the French charged the Americans rental for trenches used on the front lines, Lluetnenant-Colonel Robert E. Burkham, of St. Louis, chief of the renting requisition and claims bureau of the A. E. F., is quoted as saying that French claims amounted to more than $2,000,000. Colonel Burkham says 50,000 claims were handled by his department. In Paris there was an average of 300 cases of personal injury alone every month, requiring nine officers for their settlement. Damages of $600,000 were asked for the destruction of forests near Bordeaux, where thre was an American artillery camp. At first glance you would think that the French would be too gratetul to America to exact damages, large or small, tor trivial matters or great destruction of property, but the late war seems to have been fought on a strictly business basis. Sentiment does not appear to have entered into the claims department of the A. E. F. Premier Plant Taken Over by L. S. Skelton INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 19. The controlling interest in the Premier Motor Corporation was purchased Thursday by L. S. Skelton, a capitalist of Okmulgee, Okla. The board of directors named Mr. Skelton general manager. He immediately assumed charge of the affairs of the plant. The valuation of the plant and property is approximately $3,000,000. Mr. Skelton announced that the property would be enlarged and the production of cars increased. When the plant is in full swing 2.000 men will be employed in manufacturing cars. At this time the latest model of Premier is in production and it is expected to be one of the sensations at the National Automobile Show in New York.

The Theatres MURRETTE Now that the war 1b over, there is a tendency on the part of many to forget that the necessities for food production and conservation are as great as they were during the period of actual fighting, if not greater. Vivian Martin's new picture, "Little Comrade," is on this account particularly timely, for it deals with a young farmerette who Is determined to do what she can to produce food In spite of the harpships connected with the job. The picture which will be shown at the Murrette Theatre today and tomorrow Is adapted from a story by Juliet Wilbor Tompkins, well kown as a writer of both books and screen stories. Alice Eyton wrote the scenario, and the production was directed by Chester Wlthey. The story is fascinating and original as well as patriotic.
