We are all of us putting: off until tomor: row manana something we ought to do today. , We knov we ought to save part of our pres ent earnings, and we worry about the future if we don't do it, but we just don't get at it and do it. If anyone should tell us to our faces that we had good intentions, but mighty poor will power, we would re sent it but it may be the precise truth it certainly is quite true that it takes strong will power to save money, and that a START must be made. The most attractive thing in the world is saving when your am bition is on fire and your determination ia aroused. It's a game you play with delight when based on a purpose to be accomplish ed, and a plan that is working out. The Phoenix Savings Bank and Trust Co.

This phenomenon is known as th.- continuity of persistence of human vision. To ipioie from the writing of the famoiie French Pro fessor and Scientist, K. J. Marey, the retina of the eye has the physiologi cal property of retaining for a brief time the impression of an image after which has produced the lias disappeared.

The existence of this, ph-tnomenon was undoubtedly known to -the ancients, as a Roman poet and naturalist who lived as f ir back as '.Hi to H ( '., speaks in his works of o'h'turos which move before' the eye so rapidly that the effect of motion is stimulated, '"rom this ancient period on down thru a sti'-. i ssioti of ases. little ad vancement .was . made toward perfect ing the motion picture, - until the year JnTl', when the first important step was taken towards that end when Kdwarl J'i'ybridge, a photographer in the employ of the Fnited Slates ' lovorn men t , completed a "picture of a horse in motion. This, as well as other attempts, did not cause much interest to be centered in mo tion pictures, as they were at tie best only experiments and far from sat isf.u toi y : and it w as not until the introduction of celluloid as a sub stitute for glass that it became com paratively tasy for a long series of negatives to be taken upon a con tinuous support.

Returning to the pictures them selves. Very few persons who pat ronize moving picture theatres have any idea of the size of the picture in the film, which is thrown on the screen lifesize. A picture on the fbm is about one inch wide (here is a sample of exposed negative and a 1 iece not exposed) and three-fourths of an inch -high. There are about fifteen of these sma.ll pictures to a foot of film and the regular length of a leel is one thousand feet. A thousand foot reel is shown in fif teen minutes. Therefore, when look ing at a picture on the screen, you see one thousand pictures every min ute, or fifteen thousand pictures to eiei'v reel. The pictures are handled by several combinations of manufacturers, the largest nun. her being grouped into three companies: the Motion Pietjre Patents company, better known as tiie Trust or tienera! Film company: the t'niversal Program, and the Mu tual Program. The pictures are leased to the different exchanges, mostly owned by these combinations at so much a foot. The exchanges, which are located practically all ovev ;he world, in turn lent them to the in the differ nt towns ami cities in their territory, at so much per reel.

"The almighty heart is slil' stronger in the United States than the almighty dollar,", recently de clared Sir Gilbert Parker, the Can adian novelist, in a speech in London. "The American government has pur sued the only course possible to a nation desirous of preserving its de servedly high reputation in the field of diplomacy. It has been in true sympathy with the high mindedness and sensible idealism of the Ameri can people in regard to the great, events of the world'.; history.". important points in e cry branch of education. Also in medical colleges, sanitariums, and asylums, you will find machines m use for the educa tion and entertainment of tiie inmates us well as the corps of workers Many churches have adopted this modern method of illustrating vital points in a text, and the penitentiaries have been using this method of entertain ment and enlightenment for some time. All Fnited States battleships, as w ell as t rans-ullan I ic lim rs, are installing picture machines for the amusement of the sailors and pas sengers. Incle Sam has ordered motion pictures for tht army officers to illustrate their lectures to the National Guards. The government has also employed a manufacturer to l eproduce some of the1 famous Indian I attles of the West, to be taken on the original battle fields with as many of the surviving participants in it as possible, the pictures to be pre served in Washington, and used for the iii.-truction of future genera 'ions. A contract lias been made by the government with the "Rathe Freres" to furnish oifferent views in moving pictures of the Panama, canal at the different stages of completion, these pictures to be kept as official re cords. I very recently read an ar ticle stating that a French manufac turer has contracted with a rail road company to install on all trans Siberian and 'ZA hour trains. The Xew York Telegraph slated recently that motion pictures had been taken of the l'iots in ( iihuado during the recent miners strike there, these pic tures to be used for the purpose of identifying parties taking part in this disturbance. I could continue t-poak-in'g of the various uses to which motion pictures are put for an in definite time. Nothing ever invented has done so much to enlarge the smpe of the average man's knowledge ci' things as they are. Thru the medium of pictures t see strange people in their home lands; we learn their customs and see them, not thru pril l, but as tho we were with them. The important happenings of the world are brought to our threshold in exact repi oiltiet ions of the reality. We learn the habits of strange ani mals; we see them in their search for food and watch them rear their young all unconscious of the watchful eye of the never-sleeping camera. We see on the screen prominent actors anil actresses, who, a few years ago would hav1 highly resented even a hint that there was any probability of their appearing in the "movies." l.ven the diviile "Sarah'' has eon--sented to bt the screen reflect her LISTEN!
