look through descriptive cards filed by subject than through tiny dark frames of film which must be held up to the light for identification.
Then, in our reading, often we come across bits of information on sundry movie and photographic subjects which we would like to save. Only too frequently, when the need comes for that very matter it cannot be found. Our first step in saving such desirable clippings is to red pencil the article (after many losses, we learned to keep a red pencil tied to the bridge lamp beside our favorite reading chair). Then, before any periodical is thrown away, it is scanned for marked articles. Those short enough are pasted directly on our three by five cards; the large ones are placed in manila folders in the basement and a note of their location is made on another card. Often the meat of articles which we do not wish to clip can be sufficiently summarized directly on the card. Otherwise the name and month of the magazine and the page and title of the article appear alone. Then the cards are filed under such heads as "formulas", "enlarging", "exposure", "equipment". Gradually we are building up a library of such useful information.
Certainly no more satisfactory purchase can be made by a beginning or advanced movie maker than a box of one thousand index cards and a suitable file. He soon will find this first lot exhausted in his ever increasing use of such systemization.

Cut the titles apart at the blank spots made when you exposed the blank frames in shooting the titles and then, using a good chamois or viscose sponge, lightly remove the excess moisture in order to prevent water spots. Finally suspend the film to dry.
It is economical and easy to make a very satisfactory developing outfit, and it is well worth while from the standpoint of results obtained. Have your local tinsmith make three tin cans 12 inches high and i1/^ inches in diameter. Paint the inside of the cans with three coats of acid proof dark room paint, a half pint being more than enough to do the job.
Purchase a rolling pin, the roller part of which is approximately 2*4 inches in diameter, and preferably made of a good hard wood. Remove one handle and, over the handle hole, nail a wood disc about % inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Remove the other handle and, at that end. nail on another disc of the
