Something to Worry About . Chester Outing (E F C)—An absurd- title for the subject mat- > ter of this reel—Yellowstone Park in the dead of winter, when hot springs boil, geysers steam, and "paint pots" boil up in the midst of deep snow, and the Yellowstone River frolics through its white draperies. Kwang-Chow-Fu Burton Holmes (F P L)— The city of Canton, with its maze of ancient streets, and its river colony of people who never know a home on land but live in the most curious floating craft imaginable. NATURAL SCIENCE Nature's Perfect Thread Spinner ( l / 2 reel) (George Kleine)—The almost intelligent silk- worms, seen in "closeup" from the egg through the larva stage to the worm. Finally, after they have eaten their full of mulberry leaves,'the silk- worms climb the brushwood branches and spin their cocoons. . Br'er Rabbit and His Pals (P)—A much pleas- anter title than "Rodents"—although the ani- mals shown—rabbits, squirrels, prairie dogs, woodchucks, mice, jirboas and marmots are classified best by that term. A working skele- ton of jaws which distinguish this class of ani- mal comes in for its share of attention. Animal hibernation told in story form. The Mosquito (Society for Visual Education) —His transformation from egg and larva stages to the adult form is shown as an introduc- tion to the exposition of methods calculated to exterminate him. INDUSTRIAL The Honor of the Little Purple Stamp (U S Agric)—Showing the protection afforded the meat supply of the American table by the Fed- eral Inspection mark. Sweet Potatoes from Storehouse to Market (U S Agric)—Handling by approved methods of storing, grading and shipping. The reel shows farmer and shipper how to prevent losses. The Story of Abrasives (U S Mines)—The power generated at Niagara Falls is used for the production of carborundum. The film also shows the important industrial operations per- formed with the aid of these abrasives. The Story of Petroleum (U S Mines)—Shows the prospecting for oil, the drilling and opera- tion of the wells, the transportation, refining and distribution of one of the greatest of our resources.
