66 Pathex Motion Pictures "A Pheasant Farm" From Pathe Review No. B 38 One Reel $1.00 How this finest of game bird is bred by the State for the restocking of the woods, and freed when able to support itself. Many varieties are shown in the film, some actually hatching from the eggs. "How Golf Balls Are Made" From Pathe Review No. B 39 One Reel $1.75 Built to stand up under a lot of abuse, this combination of raw rubber and chemicals first faces the world's most nearly perfect golfer — the testing machine that never slices, misses or loses its temper. "The Friction Fighters" From Pathe Review No. B 40 One Reel $1.75 Manufacturing the ball bearings that ease the way of machinery's march, portraying the searching inspection each tiny bearing must undergo. "Short and to the Point" No. B 41 One Reel $1.75 The straight pin is one of the commonest articles of everyday use, playing an important part in everyone's life. This interesting reel shows exactly how it is made from the time the little piece of steel wire is clipped from the roll until it is inserted in the familiar paper. "Hook Hunters of Hawaii" No. B 42 One Reel $1.75 The Japanese tuna fishing fleet sets sail at dawn from Honolulu harbor for the hunting grounds fifty miles out at sea. The crew does not have an idle moment from the time the bait is thrown overboard to attract the school until their boat is full of thirty pound whoppers and they are forced to call it a day. SCIENCE AND NATURE "The Secret of Coal" From Pathe Review No. S 1 One Reel $1.00 Tracing the history of our chief fuel. Under the microscope it shows plainly its vegetable origin. The grain of its ancestral wood and the imprint of prehistoric fern leaves are seen. Illustrating the difference between hard and soft coal in geological formation. "Flameless Fires" From Pathe Review No. S 2 One Reel $1.75 All of us know the adage that "where there is smoke there must be fire," but few have ever seen demonstrated the alliance of chemicals that produce fire without flame, and even burn under water.
