It was developed by a former vaudeville magician and thus seems related to the art of black magic. John Patterson, director of museum, is a former vaudeville sleight of hand performer and conceived the idea some time ago of a Worthwhile Endeavor The United States Maritime Service, whose training ship, the American Seaman, is due to visit Poi-tsmouth harbor Aug. 30, is a worthwhile endeavor. Established in 1936 under the jurisdiction of the United States Maritime Commission but administered by the Coast Guard, it has as its purpose the providing of the merchant marine with a thoroughly trained personnel of American citizens. The service provides a general course including such subjects as seamanship, rowing, emergency drills, maritime law, breeches buoy drill, nomenclature and types of ships, hygiene and first aid.

Going further it offers specialized training in lines of work ranging from navigator to steward. The commission's training stations at Hoffman Island, N. Fort Trumbell, New London, and Government Jim Island, Oakland, are not schools the in the sense that one must pay tuition for training. On the men receive their keep plus a nominal wage during their three-month initial stay and during each of the annual one month training periods which follow. These government courses in seamanship are open to all citizens of the United States over 21 years of age who have served at least two years on merchant vessels of the United States of oOO gross tons or more operating on the Great Lakes or any ocean, provided seven months of the two years of service have been within of the date of enrollment.

Knowing that, as in all other fields, a seaman can never learn too much about his profession, the service also offers correspondence courses for the benefit' of students after they have returned to active duty aboard ship. Main object of the government in establishing and maintaining this service is to insure the safety of those using American-owned merchant ships and to prevent recurrence of certain cases of emergency in the past where inexperienced or poorly trained crew members have failed to accomplish the utmost that might be expected in the preservation of lives. A thorough knowledge of how to handle small boats is required of every man who completes his training under the tutelage of the Maritime Service. The training ship American Seaman, which will visit Portsmouth while on a cruise along the New England coast to stimulate interest in the service is a steam vessel of 7,000 gross tons feet long with a 54 foot beam.

The magistrate TCM'Tlfl QTirl I said his decision was influenced by testimony of film distributors, who believed that the names of the stars, Joan Crawford and Robert Montgomery, plus the prestige of the producing company, had more to do with the film's success than story material, We can not cavil with Judge Learned Hand on this decision, being no student of law.

but we should like respectfully to point out the variance of opinion between the film distributors and the film exhibitors, who obviously do not see eye to eye with Hollywood on the appeal Hollywood's star players. It was only a year or so ago that exhibitors were denouncing Miss Crawford and other high-bracket wage earners in Hollywood as "fading" stars, whose names were "death" at the box office. This complaint was published in trade journals in the form of full-page statements and directed against the Hollywood system of forcing certain pictures or, exhibitors at costs not in keeping with their box office value. This system, the exhibitors said, compelled them to pay exorbitant fees for pictures whose stars were "passe" and whose appeal was "in eclipse." Unless a revision of the system was brought about, many exhibitors would be forced to the wall. Practically every high-salaried player in Hollywood was named In this complaint, and the producers, as well as the stari, were considerably embarrassed and hard put to defend themselves.

Now that the case of Miss Barnes and Mr. Shel- found and is attracting throngs of people to a garage at Til ton, where it is or. exhibition. About three years ago James King and Harold Smith of Tilton while fishing on Squam Lake observed the outline of the craft on the bottom in about 14 feet of water. Mr.

King kept track of the boat and Thursday Horace Wheaton of Tilton succeeded in bringing the old dugout to the surface. He dove into the lake 15 times to remove the stones which held the craft to the bottom. In addition to the canoe there was a paddle, which had so deteriorated that i it went to pieces when handled. The wood of the old boat is in a fair state of preservation, although showing the effects of years under water. The boat is 14 feet from bow to stern, about three feet wide and approximately 15 inches deep.

The inside has the imprint of a paddle about six feet in length estimates of age, the kind of wood of which the and find the don has reached a decision In courts, there is a disposition in some quarters to confuse the distributors with the exhibitors. Exhibitors, cx- i cept in the cases of the big chain They're doing it with mirrors at theatres, are the little guys who op- CZ1CHO-SLOVIAKI erate theatres and have to take what Hollywood sends them. Disnew method of teaching national his- fributors are sectional clearinghouses for the film companies themselves. They run the exchanges and see to the needs of the exhibitors in their immediate territories. The beat story on exhibitors we've read is an account in Variety telling a former exhibitor, now in prison.

That was exactly what Patterson was looking for.

He adapted the principle of that display to his working model and with an electrical apparatus and mirror perfected his exhibit, which the museum formally opened to the public Thursday. Patterson taid he believes the exhibit is the first of its kind in any museum in the country and expressed belief it would serve bring a new educational technique to many muieums.
