WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR REJECTED MANUSCRIPT An Intimate Glimpse Into a Movii Scenario Department A<>t)iriug writers the world ovt. Uave always received their scrip, back with a uorry ;imile aiid a bit >.. (Uagrin, perhaps 'exclaiiuiug "Oa. there is sume fellow there who rea.. these stories and Just shoots thciii back ur keeps them," but at the b.g studios today there is uo such pro- cedure. There i« a corps bt tralntu writers, expert dramatists, and cle^'-. readers who handle the immense \ . .- ume of scenario work. This department is in charge ci' a well-kaown .screvn writer, who lia- been in the businesa since the eur.y days ol the feature story. He is aid ed in his work, which at times reach Cb alm(>6t Irem'endous volume, by many other well known writers, su. Ii as Octavus Roy Cohen, of The Sat- urday Evening I'ost, and Charle.-> Kenyon, and E. A. Urighaiu. There are ihree readers, a .secretary, ten stenographers ,and two title writers This is an outlay of talent which proves that the better writers are making for the film fields. Of course tills list is exclusive of the special Imminent Authors, which roster In- cludes Kex Beach, Mary Roberts Kinehart, Basil King, Leroy Scott, Gouverneur Morris, Hupert Hughe.s and Gertrude Atherton, with the lat- ter acquisition of Booth Tarkington. It falls to the editorial department to set* that all stories are lu every way complete, correct, and ready tor exhibition. The titles atone today form one of the biggest tasks in mak- ing a picture. Six artists make the beautiful decorated background^) for the wording, and there are five ar- tists to do the lettering. And for cutting the picture, trim- ming extraneous matter and elimin- ating the loose ends there are five editors and assistants, as many ne- gative cutters to match the negatives, and the same number of positive cutters, so it can be seen that this work is by no means the least Just because it is never heard of. There are four complete theatres on the grounds which are kept running con- tinuously day and night. "MADAME X." COMING. Pauline Frederick Will Play Title Role of New Goldwyn Picture. Another spectacular picture may be expected from the hand of Frank Lloyd, whose filming of "The Tale of Two Cities" and "Les Miserables," will never be forgotten by those whp have seen them. Having purchased "Madame X," the most brilliaut of all the plays of Alexander Brisson, the Goldwyn cximpany ba« turned it over to Lloyd with instructioas to beat his own record. Piiuline Fred- erick will play the title role. 'RAINBOW ISLE" SOON. D. W. Griffith's Latest Picture Is Nearly Ready for Release. "Rainbow Isle," the picture made by D. W. Griffith during hla southern trip which was foatuted by the ship- wreck of bis party off the Bahamas, •.vill soon be ready tor release. LLOYO COMEDIES POPULAR.

While several otlier comed- ians have shown signs recently of "slipping," Lloyd has been advancing rapidly and Is at the very zenith of his pow(>TS.

CO-OPERATION is the corner stone of all progressive building. The pathway to unity of ideals. The only remedy for industrial disputes and misunderstandings. Cheer up! Although among the numerous letters received from workers, some tell of discouragement annd almost defeat, there are others which tell of victories won and progress made through right methods. It is Rood to get such letters, both from the cheerful and the discouraged worker, especially from the latter. 'I'his Department is here just for the sake of those who need a word of cheer. Strikes, industrial scrapping and other methods of settling disputes may stand for a while, but the days are coming when these things shall pass, along with all other destructive forces, but that day will not come until each side has a full realism, an entire understanding of their dependence one upon the other. The mistake at present, lies very heavily upon both sides. In many cases the worker takes advantage of the need of the employer, to scamp his labors, and is not always earful to measure up fully to his responsibilities. The employer on his part sometimes forgets that his employees are human as he is, and that they, too, have rights and needs beyond the feeding and tending of his machinery. Co-operation the Best Way. We speak of strikes as destructive forces, and a worker who knows what it is to have been forced to strike for an adjustment of conditions remon- strates with this phrase. Your point of view, my friend, is not overlooked. It is deeply appreciated. The difficulties which have beset many who in the past have been forced to .strike for decent wages and living conditions, are not forgotten in this connection, but the as.sertion is .still made that strikes and all such methods are destructive, and not constructive. They do not tend to a building-up of those forces which are needful to unity and understanding. You may .say or think that by the very unity and numbers of the workers who band themselves together for a strike, here is proof of unity, of weld- ing together. So long as there arc the two distinct armed camps, created on the one liand by the stand of the employer who has refused the concessions asked for, and on the other by the employees, who have put down their tools, a halt is called to development and progress. The Goal. There is only one goal which will make the worker's lot safe, sure and progressive, and it is a goal that can only be reached throuS^h a big vision and ideal of your own part in the world, of your job, and of Canada's place among the nations, and that goal is co-operation. If every employer would take time to consider the value of co-operation Ix'tween himself and tho.se who are working for him, and every worker would take every oppoitunity to cement this link between himself and the "boss" we might yet glimpse a vision of the name of Canada written up industrially and nationally upon the map of the world as it was made famous through the part played by Canada's sons overseas. The War may be over, but the fighting is not all through yet. There is a bigger fight for every man, and every individual, a fight against selfish interests, the fight for these national idpals. When that is won, Canada will be a nation worth while. The roadway to it is CO-OPERATION. How To Lighten Housework BY LORETTA LYNCH.

Rex Beach, the novelist, has paid Tom Santachl the compliment of ask- ing him to croa« the cuontry to take a leading part In Roach's latest pic- ture from his story, "Northwest Mal- ice."

Try and have your handy man put up a separate hook for each article â€" r-spoclally for those used frequently.

I saw one made from the wheals from a child's go-cart aiid a small table. The handy man made a double-deck af- fair of this and added a convenient handle by which it could be pushed from kitchen to dining room or to the sick room. It's a step saver in- deed. It may carry a whole meal to the table or remove all the soiled (i'shes at one time. Of all the i-oonis in the house, thv kitchen should have a clock. Have you one?

If your Troop has pulled off a good stunt or is going to do any- thing in the way of a hike, con- cert, etc., have your Scoutmaster write a little story about it and send it in to this paper. If you have any ideas about Scouting or want to get in touch with other Scouts, write a short letter to the Boy Scout Depart- ment of this paper. Make your letter short and write only on one side of the paper. Ideas thus wiU be exchanged and Scout questions answered. By "Sleeves Up." The foundation of the Boy Scout .Movement is the Scout Law. lo this being carried out as it should? Are I he scouts remembering their laws ill the school yard, on the athletic field, and in the home? Scouts ! has your next-door neigh- bor seen you go out with uniform spick and span, everything in its ;;:ace. but with a recollection of a dirty, untidy back yard, or long grass on the front lawn, or the snow not shoveled? It so, the whole principle .if the Movement is lost. We ahould all try and show our fellow citizens that we hare a movement which stands for something more than .'iiarching and treking, or procuring badges. Your arm may be covered with badges, but if you have forgot- ten your Scout Law you are as the man who goes along without the guidance of the Bible and the love of Jesus Chi-ist in his heart. You are like a beautiful looking nut that when cracked is nothing but black du^t. and no kernel. Do not be con- It nt with skimming the surface oC Scouting â€" gvt a spade and get to work, and when you dig, have the handle at right angles.

Your first thought of course should be to the lads under your charge, but do not make the blunder of becoming so narrow that you cannot see anything but your own little circle. Get out occasion- ally, shake yourself and look at the Movement from a big and broad point of view. Do not allow younaelf to become one of those self-important, criticizing fellov\-s one sometimes meets. Troops! You who have splendid headquarters and an abundance of tquipment. look around occasionally; init the field glass to your ey«s and your ear to the ground, and I am sure you will see or hear of a Troop true who would appreciate a helping hand and remember, chaps, this is not charityâ€" we will not countenance this word in the Scoutsâ€" but a duty that we owe to one another. Scoulmadters! Are you going along with a grouch because some- thing has not quite suited you, or you feel that you are out of it in some sense of the word? If so, your vision is cloudedâ€" you are becoming dwarfed, and losing the very essence of life. Are the Scouts in any City Town or Village going about their work jealous of the other Town or City? If so, in the name of all that is good, wake up, shake yourself!

Your work, based upon the Scout Law, has no room In its ranks tor the small fellow, so with a great and glorious outlook for the future be ready at all times to grip the other fellow's hand in the spirit of comradeship. Strathroy: The boys of Strathroy are again very keen for Scouting. The parent '.'t one of the boys visited the Pro- vincial Office a few days ago and stated the difficulty was to get men to lead. The boys are ready and want to help themselves. Are there not some men in Strathrov who will step forward and say "We'll do part for the lads?" Cochrane: At the most northerly point in our Province the lads are keen about Scouting; are qualifying for their baages and keen to advance.

"Look here, now, Harold." said father to his little son. who was naughty, "if you don't say your pray- ' ers you won't go to heaven." "I don't want to go to heav«n." ' .-obbed the boy.

Of course, we realize that they are de- structionists but â€" what kind of hu- man beings are they? The writer of this piece happens to have looked up this cla.ss of people pretty thoroughly and nowhere has he seen such true-to-life description of the human nature of the conimuni.st and anarchist as Henry Ford gives. Here it is; we pass it along to our readers : "The de.structioni.st groups repre- sent a type of individual which we always have with us. If they are ap- parently very noisy now about de- •stroying the more settled and time- proved institutions, it is only because j by them there these institutions happen to be to the I destroy.' fore. When the subject was some- .P^u^/?' **^^ attitude was the same. I hat IS to say, the man whose only remedy for governmental flaws is to destroy the government, is the same type of man w-ho goes to breaking , dishes on the floor in a fit of anger He would rather smash his pipe than clean it; he would rather strike his son than counsel him. ' * "WhcnevQf men of this type are placed up against any problem which ' needs intelligence and patience for its" .solution, they react at once to the'r temperamental cure-all, destruction They are the kind of men who rip a collar to pieces because a buttonhole \vill not readily open. In a world oi. their own these men would not be" Iwthersome, for in a world controlled would be nothing to The advertisements have something to say to you If a manufacturer could gather 30,000,000 prospective buyers into a large auditorium and talk to them regularly â€" by word of mouth â€" he would have no need of advertise- ments, But he cannot. So he puts his wools in typo and talks to these ««me pnxspeolive buyers in the printod mp.ssj>j;"s that yon know as advertisements. In these pages you will find many such personal messages. Some are large and sorae are small. They cover a wide range of sub- jects. They i»re worthy of your car«»fiil reading. No manufacturer woidtl spend his g<x)d money advertising if his merch- andise were not of jtwjfl quality and fairly priced. It woiddn't pay! Don't mlsvs the advertisements. They will save you money. I
