LOS ANGELES EVENING EXPRESS, MONDAY, MAY 18, 1931- PAGE 13 MONROE BUTLER TO RAISE FUNDS FOR DEMOCRATS New Director of Fi- nance in State Seeks $250,000 Monroe Butler, chairman of the Los Angeles County Democratic central committee, today was named director of finance for the party in California. The appointment was made by Dr. Z. T. Malaby of Pasadena, Democratic state committee chairman.

In accepting the appointment Mr. Butler announced his resignation as an executive of the California Reserve Company. He will devote his time to directing the party's finan-4 cial campaign in California, he said. Dr. Malaby stated he would announce the personnel of the state finance committee and the location of its permanent headquarters in a few days.

Mr. Butler's appointment is in line with the program recently announced by Jouett Shouse, executive chairman of the Democratic national committee, to raise a 000 Victory Fund for the 1932 campaign, according to the state chair- man. TO RAISE $250,000 "Mr. Butler has been selected direct the campaign in California to raise a fund of at least $250,000, a portion of which will be this state's share of national committee's Victory Fund, the balance to be used to carry on the 1932 campaign in California," Dr. Malaby said.

"Because of his experience in financial matters and as an organizer for the American Legion in the Middle West Mr. Butler is particularly qualified for the post," the state chairman declared. Mr. Butler has been active in Democratic politics in Southern California since 1928. He was chosen permanent secretary of the state central committee at the Western Democratic conference held here last month.

SUPPORT PLEDGED In his acceptance statement Mr. Butler said: have received assurance from Democrats from every section of the state that they will co-operate actively in an effort such as we propose to raise a Victory Fund and to effect a vigilant organization. "Democrats of all factions preferences who are interested in the return of Democratic party to power for the economic and social welfare of the nation are invited and will be given an opportunity to assist."

Here she is signing the pledge. Will Show Pictures Motion pictures of the proposed $2,000,000 metropolitan aqueduct will be shown at the Foshay School at Exposition and Harvard boulevards at 7:30 p. m. tomorrow, it was announced today. John R.

Richards, a director of the Metropolitan Water Board, will explain the pictures, it was stated. YOUTH INVENTS MOVIE CAMERA Old Intermittent Type Of Film Soon May Disappear young Mexican optical engineer, Gabriel Garcia Moreno, has invented what he and his associates claim is the first practical motion picture camera with a continuous movement of film. This improvement in cinematography, according to the Associated Press, may revolutionize the photographic end of the motion picture industry. All motion picture cameras, from Thomas A. Edison's time honored "black box" and its European contemporaries, have been built on the intermittent plan, by which the film is driven before the aperture one frame, or picture, at a time.

In Moreno's camera the film flows smoothly and continuously before the aperture without pauses for ex- posure. NO SHUTTER NEEDED The continuous movement, therefore, requires no shutter, such as eis in all cameras to date; it is free from vibration and it is silent. At the now standard intermittent film speed of 90 feet per minute the exposure time per picture frame is one-forty-eighth second. With the continuous camera, and at a continuous film speed of 90 feet per minute, the exposure time per picture is about twice as long, or onetwenty-fourth second. The result is a standard exposure with 50 per cent less illumination.

thereby increasing photographic values and cutting the cost. Other advantages Moreno claims for his camera include its possibilities for photography in natural col- ors. CONTINUOUS PRINCIPLE The young inventor has, concurrently with the development of his camera, applied the continuous principle to projection machines. Among its advantages, and the principal ones, so far as movie audiences concerned, are the elimination of flicker and less danger from fire, since the amount of light is cut in half. FLORENCE REED.

Lux Toilet ART BOARD TRIES TO GAIN POWER Commission Seeks Way to Dictate Material in City Buildings Shorn of power to dictate what material shall be used in constructing city park or prayground buildings, the Art Commission today is considering means of gaining that authority. The commissioners may seek an amendment to the city charter, giving them the power to designate materials.

Attempts by the Art Commission to dictate to the park board or to the playground and recreation department are said to have been ignored. Differences have arisen when the art body tried to specify masonry as the material for construction of park and playground buildings. Wooden structures were built. AUTHORITY DENIED The art commissioners contended that material was a prime consideration from an artistic standpoint. They received a setback a few days ago when Loren Butte of City Attorney E.

P. Werner's staff submitted an opinion that the Art Commission has no jurisdiction over the choice of material. Agreement between the art body and the park regarding placement of statuary in the Plaza remains to be effected. While the park board has granted permission for the setting up of Henry Lyons' statue of Felipe de Neve, founder pueblo, in the center of the Plaza, the Art Commission withholds approval of the statue's base. TWO STATUES COMPETE Incidentally, two statues of the Queen of the Angels are competing for the same pedestal position in the Plaza facing the original of Our Lady Queen of the Angels.

David Edstrom is working on one of these and at the last meeting of Art Commission a rival work on the same subject was offered. The latter is being designed by R. A. Kimball, Hollywood sculptor. Go after share of $2,500.

One man had 65 of the notes, which were known as "red dog" and "wildcat" money because Michigan banks used wild animal pictures to decorate their currency in those days. PROTEST FILED ON RESERVOIR Objection Is Made to Mulholland Dam Abandonment Efforts to obtain the abandonment of Mulholland dam in Hollywood today brought another protest from a San Fernando Valley organization. Declaring that "certain citizens of Hollywood" are demanding the elimination of the reservoir created by Mulholland Dam, officers of the San Fernando Valley Growers' Association wrote to Council Beaty that they would oppose any move to divert water to Hollywood from the Chatsworth or other valley reservoirs. The letter stated that water stored in the valley was badly needed in that area. A similar protest was received by the City Council on April 30 from the Canoga Park Chamber of Commerce.

In a talk sponsored by the California Audubon Society, given at the Los Angeles Public Library, she told of the nesting habits of desert birds as she had observed them for years. 140 SPECIES FOUND Even birds usually identified with salt marshes and the seashore nest in the Colorado Desert. Two, the laughing gull and the white pelican, breed exclusively on the barren islands of Salton Sea, that great below-sea-level lake in Imperial Valley, she said. More than 140 different bird species have been found by Mrs. Clary inhabiting the Colorado Desert.

She has banded approximately 5000 individual birds during her study of their habits and methods of making a living in the desert's hot wastelands. A water trap--the one positive lure for desert birds--is used by Mrs. Clary to draw back door for study.
