These Girls Sure Can Beat Time
Left is Miss Margaret Handley Right is Mrs. Dixie Thompson
Here are two of the numerous women drum-majors who would rather play on a brass band than on a piano. Left is Miss Margaret Handley of Ponchatoula, La., leader of the drum and bugle corps of American Legion Post No 156, at Hammond, La. The boys call her "Peggy." Right is Mrs. Dixie Thompson, drum-major of the Brainerd Ladies Band of Brainerd, Minnesota.
vamped for distribution as sound pictures are loosely in this class.
One of them is a forest picture, another is an experimental film taken and the last is a picture taken by Dr. at the 4-H annual camp here last year, E. W. Brandes, another federal scientist, during an exploring trip to New Guinea.
In addition, however, wide possibilities are opened by the new films. In some instances, Evans indicated, the audition might be "stunned up" in order
are going to be put to work in the service of the American farmer.
Agriculture department experts after a year or so of experimentation, have definitely embarked on a project which has the ultimate aim of eliminating the silent film altogether and substituting for it audible pictures in the extension service work.
This experimentation has gone so far that already three silent films already in use by county agents, farm bureau speakers and others have been synchronized with the little strip which reproduces the voice.
None of these has been released as yet but they are completed and ready for distribution. To advance the work, Dr. C. M. Warburton, director of the extension service, has asked Congress for $21,000 with which to make audible films alone during the next fiscal year.
The man who is responsible more than any other for the government cinema activity is Raymond Evans, chief of that division, and in Evans' opinion the silent film is doomed, both for public entertainment and for the department's purposes.
In his words, "talkies have educated the people everywhere to such a point that they are no longer very much interested in silent films."
At present the county agents are not equipped for showing sound pictures, however. To remedy this condition, it is the present intention of the department to purchase one or two portable projectors to travel over the country demonstrating the advantages of the new pictures and teaching county agents the operation of the sound projectors.
The American Farm Bureau federation and other farm organizations have taken an active interest in the new development. Since they have financed the majority of the projectors now in use and have always used films widely, these organizations are expected to take the lead in the new development.
Evans points out that one primary function of sound pictures will be to bring home farm lectures in a more vivid fashion than silent films accompanied by a human interpreter. The three old films which have been vamped for distribution as sound pictures are loosely in this class.
One of them is a forest picture, another is an experimental film taken and the last is a picture taken by Dr. at the 4-H annual camp here last year, E. W. Brandes, another federal scientist, during an exploring trip to New Guinea.
In addition, however, wide possibilities are opened by the new films. In some instances, Evans indicated, the audition might be "stepped up" in order to reproduce inaudible sounds.
Such for instance would be the reproduction of a fly's footsteps on a window pane. This sound could be magnified by microscopic lens. The result would be, probably, a sound like a horse walking on a pavement. It would very likely be distorted but not to such an extent as would affect the listener's reception.
Use of sound pictures in the fields at various times and in similar ways open up other avenues of deep interest to all rural livers.
Another factor of particular interest in the new development is the deep interest the federal farm board is taking in the project. Numerous conferences of farm board and extension service officials have already taken place, with the end in view of filming several purely farm board films for distribution by that body.
The motion picture section of the extension service has already made several silent films for the board which, it is stated, have been highly effective in spreading the board's propaganda.
The "canned lecture" pictures proposed as the major part of the agriculture department's sound film output would fit in particularly well with the program for advertising the farm board.

California desires tourists, but the 1930 migration of hobooes has been unequaled in central California since 1915. figures produced by the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. indicate.
This year trainmen already have evicted from railroad property enough itinerants to man a large city. The 10 months to Nov. 1 saw 127,152 put off Southern Pacific trains and right-of-way, the report shows. That compares with 62,335 in the first 10 months of 1929.

Orange Tile Co. to Open New Home
Public Invited to "Open House"
In Santa Ana, On Saturday, February 14
The Orange County Title Company will celebrate its forty years of successful service by a reception to the public in its imposing new home in Santa Ana on the afternoon and evening of Saturday, Feb. 14.
The new structure is at the southeast corner of Fifth and Main streets. It is imposing in its architecture and of reinforced concrete, being fire, burglar and earthquake proof. It is equipped with automatic ventilation, cooling and heating apparatus, acoustical plastering in the ceilings and portions of the walls were designed to deaden sound. Intercommunicating telephones connect the various departments.
Founded by C. E. Parker
The company was founded by C. E. Parker, one of the substantial and forward-looking men of Orange county who came to Santa Ana in 1872. He promoted the first electric lighting system in Santa Ana, as well as its first telephone communication. He owned and operated the second typewriter in Orange county and his company was one of the first in California to use a writing machine to write title evidence. The new building, say the officers of the company, stands as a monument to Mr. Parker's foresight, business ability and integrity.
The officers of the company are: H. A. Gardner, president; R. V. Shafer, B. D. Parker, L. R. Kennedy and A. J. Crookshank, vice-presidents; George A. Parker, secretary; M. M. Galbreth, H. M. Douglas, assistant secretaries; H. R. Noble, trust officer.
