freezing weather. But no more.
While “Dancing Mothers” was be
ing filmed here, Clara Bow saw four
men tapping pieces of wood together
and passing them slowly past corner
beams and other protruding thing of
a set.
‘What are you doing?” she asked.
'Draping cowebs,” came the reply
and thinking it all a joke she walked
away.
But after two hours work, cob
webs were draped profusely over the
set. A mixture of glue glycreine and
l owdered chalk between two boards
provided the webs, as the boards
were rubbed together and then sep
arated suddenly.

Kl’RAI. ELE( 1 Kll LCATION
| Discussing the part farmers must
play in bringing electricity to the
rural districts, Owen D. Young re
cently said:
“The farmers should insist upon
study of electrification by their ag
cultrural schools and colleges, by
their farm organisations, and re
j quire a constant and unending pub
i licity of the results of each studies
through their farm journals.
“They should welcome study by
power companies and manufactur
ing companies, arid should cooper
ate with them to work out practical
p'ans to get effective results. In
each community, they should endea
vor to develop a universal sentiment
in favor of a power supply and gen
eral agreement, to take service distri
bated among the largest possible
numbers of customers.
“The. one point I want to make to
the farmer is that manufacturing
companies may produce devices, elec
tric power companies, may bring
electricity to his door, hut the ques
tion remains with the farmer whe
ther he will put it to work. It n lie
who must say whether or not eleeui
I city is to be used in ughwuitui^. ’
