NOT CHANCE.

There was one instance OF comedy
routine when Harold Lloyd was
willing 10 admit that he didn't even
get as good as a draw decision.
The Rolin Film Co. troupers were
doing Location" work In a small
Southern California hamlet, Mr..
Lloyd tried his hand at kidding
one Of the natives who was sitting
ON The town hitching rack apparent
ly rreatly interested In the work Of
the camera squad.
i've heard that the climate is not
healthful down this way" said the
Rolin star.
Don't you believe any such thing,
said the stolid citizen. Look at me;
when I first came here | didn't have
no teeth and no hair, and couldn I
guess my own w~eight-look me over
now"
How long have you lived heres?
asked the awed comedian.
Il was born here" said the native.
Harold Llyod Is now busily en-
gagged In making comedies two reels
In length, instead Of one. as pre-
yiously. The first Of these new
comedies is Dumping into Broad
way" Like all previous Lloyd COM
edies, IL is distributed by pathe,
who have. designated these as the
new Special 100000 two-reel Lloyd
comedies.-At the Columbus Thea

THAT TELEPHONE LITIGATION.

1t has been suggested by his headquarters that our brief edi-
1orial mention of the telephone case which was argued before
our State Supremn Court q few days ago, was hardly fair to
Attorney General Ross Collins. We were not fully advised as
70 how the case was argued before the states highest legal
tribunal, but regardless of that, it is fair to say that Gen. Collins
is to be commended for the suit and for the persistency shown
in pushing same. 1t takes something more than mere knowl-
edge or intelligence 10 handle some matters. it takes moral
courage, and this Gen. Collins showed most admirably in TINS
law suit. There may have been a valid reason for an increase
IN telephone tolls, but the conduct of these big corporations IN
the mast makes them stand before the public discredited when
ever they begin 10 talk about needing an increase in charges
in order 10 make ends properly meet. Watered stock and big
salaries among the higher-ups. which has been shown up in so
MANY CORPORATIONS. put them before the bar OF public OPINION
with the finger OF suspicion pointing at them. the ialest move
of the telephone companies is one asking for an increase in
phone rentals, ard Attorney General Collins is also combating
that. Gen. Collins has made the state an upright, capable and
honest Attorney General and has met the duties OF the office TO
the very best OF his ability.
