By extracting water from fruit and vegetables, the producers find it possible to provide as much nourishment in a ten pound box as formerly was contained in a barrel or more. Subtitles: Washing and peeling potatoes by machinery sixty times as fast as by hand. Coring cabbage. Shredding potatoes. The shreds are now ready for the drying machine. The drying machine removes the water from the vegetables without marring the food value, color, taste or aroma. The dried vegetables. A barrel containing 100 pounds of "Dryfresh" soup vegetables. Enough to make 6,000 portions from the vegetable soup. The warring armies are subsisting almost entirely on this type of food. Onions, carrots, turnips, potatoes and cabbage required to make 10 pounds of dried food. All this water was removed from the vegetables required to fill the 10-pound tin. Mrs. A. Louise Andrea, the Screen Magazine's cooking expert, prepared a dried vegetable dinner. When the vegetables are placed in water they become almost their original size. Ready to serve. Screen Oddities: "Young men who didn't go west." Horace Greeley advised in vain for these worthies, and they're not sorry they turned their broad backs to the call of the noted journalist. They stayed in New York. Subtitles: For 37 years Colonel John A. Murray has been an important factor in the U.S. Assay office. Richard J. Daly, "Big Dick," who has untangled traffic at Dey street and Broadway for 20 years. John J. Hanley, Warden of the Tombs, 29 years in the service. Lieut. Kennell, bodyguard to New York's mayors since 1905. Max F. Schmittberger. Police Inspector, 43 years in the department. "Smokey Joe" Martin, a fire-fighter 33 years and still active. For 44 years James Lent has been delivering mail to New Yorkers. The Bishop of Wall Street, William Wilkinson. Science: The eye of modern science. X-Ray mysteries revealed through the motion picture camera. A practical demonstration of this remarkable appliance, which has revolutionized surgery. Mistakes in diagnosis are virtually impossible when it is used. Subtitles: The X-Ray is regulated with hydrogen. When in use, the tube is encased in a glass globe which nearly encircles it. The glass of the globe contains lead, which protects the surgeon and patient from "stray rays." A late model X-Ray generator. The spark discharge from the generator. Fifteen kilowatts at 120,000 volts. Detecting decayed teeth by radiography. A small piece of film is placed behind the patient's teeth and the current turned on for about 1/5 of a second. Developed films, showing the flaws detected in teeth. The Orthodiagraph is used for examination of the chest and abdomen. The coil and spark of the Orthodiagraph. What the X-Ray operator sees. The apparatus may also be used in a vertical position. Taking a hand. The photographic plate is put under the hand, the tube focused and current applied. The result. Note the fracture of the index finger. Art: Miracles in mud, produced by Willie Hopkins. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
