TEUTONS DEVELOP
CINEMA INDUSTRY
WITH BLOCKADE
German Finns Now Export
Films to Producers
In the United States.
(Bpadal Oabls to Ths fuMwHi
By SIGKID 9CHULTE.
BERLIN. May t.?The German film
makers ought to be very grateful
to the allies for the blockade. It
. *m the blockade which kept American
films and American competition
away from Germany, and since no
twentieth century nation can lire
without movies, the German film In-|
duatry had to get busy and try to
develop.
"We haven't as many pretty girls
as America." says Professor Dr. Max
Glass, director of one company, "but
we try to make up with the beauty
or the historical value of the surroundings.
Castles and homes of
all styles are at our choice, renaisaance.
baroque, empire, and so on,
and what our stars are lacking: in
personal beauty they replace with
dramatic art. We are not aiming: at
a beautiful 'show* display; we are
trying to find the key to the heart
through feelings."
Tries All Styles.
The German film industry Is trying
all styles and all lines; they
even tried futurism in the film "C^llIgari."
which watt their first big
success. It was followed closely by
"Mmf. Dubarry," who was the first
to sneak over to America. Tou
would not believe it, but Mme. Dubarry
was very ihy and afraid of
the American public, and so she
made her first appearance in a small
place in New Jersey under the name
of "Passion." There she proved
'successful and then she walked
boldly into New York. In a week
this film. "Passion." earned more
money than the whole film had cost.
The movie companies are working
hard and they are trying to bring
out films which wofld particularly
suit American taste. American trick
films will always be better than
ours, since the highest jump a man
can take is six stories in Germany,
"a mere nothing compared to American
heights." says one producer.
want to bring out things with
much soul and feeling.'
There are numerous details we'll
have to learn?for instance, the international
film kissing rules and
etiquette rules. But we are hopeful.
Up to r.ow the Ufa has sold twenty
films t? America. We have orders
from South America. Spain. Italy.
Japan: we have even sent films to
Prance. which sent us films in return."
Movie* la Berlin.
Statistics show that Berl/n. a city
with over 2.000.000 inhabitants, has
264 movies, wlt.i 117.000 seats while
it has 34 theatwith 44.000 seats.
"We have one great enemy," said
a film director, "the unions. They
kill us when we try to break away
from them. There is a special big
coffee house in Berlin where the
film artists meef. You just walk
through this 'exchange' and choose
the persons vou need. But if you
fail to find the pretty girls you are
looking for in this coffee house, and
if you go out an& find them somewhere
else, the unions march up and,
fine you. We needed real good
horsemen, so we asked the reichswehr
to lend us some men with
horses. They came and we got fine
pictures, but the unions came, too.
and nearly killei us for not finding
the equestrian art of their members
quite up to date."
The day of marvelous incomes
seems to be over for the German
siais. too. A decision of the unions
says that no star is to receive more
than 2.000 marks per day. The
scretn fans are nervous. As good
social republicans they think that
everybody must obey the union's
orders?but on the other hand they
do admit that a star who used to get
10.000 or 20.000 marks a day will
find 2.000 rath?r shabby and might
feel induced to follow the fashion
of the day and go out on a strike.

EGYPTIANS MAKE
PAPER OF GRASS
Experiments in Progress
Show Good Prospect
Of Success. i
(Spoeial Cable to The Washington Herald
aad Chicago Tribune, t
Br P* DKNOl ER.
CAIRO. May .?A new industry
lay he developed in Egypt as a result
of the use as paper-making
material of an aquatic plant of the
Typha species called "Bourdie
grass."
The high cost of paper in Europe
since the war has caused scientists
to search for a new method of making
psper. Though the new process
does not seem to bs much cheaper
than the old. the pulp made of
Bourdie grass would be of special
value for Egypt, for. while there is
no wood in this country, the consumption
of paper has increased
within the last fwo or three years
on account of the great development
of the native press, and practically
nil paper has to be Imported.
The leaves of the Bourdie grass
are from thrtee to eight feet In
length, and when dried vary In color
from light green to light brown.
A consignment of Bourdie grass
was lately sent from Egypto to the
Imperial institute in London in order
to sscertsin its suitability for
paper making.
It must be admitted that so far
| none of the experiments made.
either with the soda process or with 1
. the lime process, yielded a pulp
1 hleaehinz readily to a really pale
color suitable for the production
of white paper of good quality. But
further experfments may prove more
satisfactory. And should the Bourdie
grass pulp from Erypt only be
available for the making of brown
wrapping paper, the production of
great quantities of that wrapping
paper will he of value in the present
shortage of wood.

Health Ministry Is Asked
For Aid in Curing
"Agoraphobia."
Post-war "MfTei," alarmingly on
ths increase, are causing profound
discussion among members of the
British medical fraternity.
lien and women who before the
irar were not aware that they possessed
nerves are reporting to
physicians in increasing numbers
every month, according to Harley
street specialists* The situation has
become so alarming that the ministry
of health has been spproached
for assistance in effecting a popular
cure.
"Agoraphobia" and "clauatropho- |
bla" are two legacies of the war
that are attracting increasing attention.
The trials of war and the |
worries of peace have played havoc J
with the nerves of thousands of per- j
sons.
Men who went through the war J
now talk about their nerves as their
great-grandfathers used to talk
about their gout, and women who ;
have struggled for the p*ist few j
yesrs to mske the weekly psy envelope
go as far ss It used to. knowing
all the while it is worth less
than half, now talk about their j
nerves instead of their servants I
They have given up servants and
suffer from their nervea instead.
"Agoraphobia" and "claustropho- 1
bia" are forms of nerves, the Strang- 1
est forms known: the former is the
fear of open spaces and the latter j
the fear of confined spaces.
Nerve specialists sre frankly
worried over the sudden spread of
these two complaints. Sufferers
from "agoraphobia" may feel all
right when they are in a street car
or taxlcab. but when they attempt
to cross a busy street like Fortysecond
and Broadway. New York, or
State and Madiaon atreets in Chicago,
sudden fear strikes them and !
they are frankly sfrsid. seizing a
detour rather thsn venture alone in
the open. They look around In terror
for the nearest dugout snd run
down a subway entrance, or take
refuge In a store.
A variation of this fesr of open
spscea Is the fesr of high place*. !
There msy be no dsnper. but the
nense of height overwhelms th* suf- I
ferer. and the nerves collapse
Sufferers from "claustrophobia.* Ji
on the other hand, may becom* j
stricken with fear at the thought
of entering an elevator, or travel-j
ing through a tunnel, or of sit-'
ting In a room with the door shut.,,
Everyone going down into s coal i
mine for the first time experiences1
something of this fueling of op- ,
presslon. due to a sense of confine- '
ment.
It seems, according to the description
of the sufferers themselves, as* ,
thouch millions of tons of earth j
above are crushing one down. In a
room full of people a "claustrophobian"
may suddenly have an irre- !
sistible impulse to dash out.
Rut It's all due to nerves.
INDIAN BOYCOTT I

Ruse of Native Leader Puts

By HKXKV MKRCKK.
CALCUTTA. May 8.?The nonco- |
operative movement, though a fall- 1
ure as far as ;h?* boycott of the new
councils, profession, schools, and '
universities is concerned, is nevertheless
held responsible for much of<
unrest. discontent. and strikes
throughout India. The government
is beginning to feel the necessity of j,
taking action to combat Ghandi. the;
Indian leader's influence. as it . Isj
feared the "nonviolent movement"
urged by him may be abandoned and .
a campaign of violence substituted.
The government of the United
Provinces has < flVially taken cog-,
nizance of the present unsettled
situation in India and has issued a
statement calling on all loyal members
of the provinces to combat
Obendi's movement. The statement
describes Ohandi's nonco-operati ve
movement as being "frankly revolutionary
and anarchistic, and can
only bring misfortune and disorder
upon the countrv fat large.*
Steps are also being taken ini
Madras to check the movement by'
counter propaganda and demonstrations.
These methods are being actively
supported by the nonolltclat
community, the landed aristocracy.!
and the land workers who are acting i
together to bring about a satlsfac-1
tor/ settlement. I
