cannot be gainsaid that some profits
will accrue which will take the
form of regularly declared divi-
dends."
The sales argument that the
stock sellers are using pivots upon
what they say has been done in
Soviet Russia. The Importance of
the motion picture film to combat
the enemies of labor, liberalism and
radicalism was almost instantly
seen by the present government of
Russia" the prospectus says. I'm
their campaign to win and hold the
masses of Russian people to their
program they are successfully using
the motion picture to the utmost.
Existing conditions in this country
make imperative a similar use of the
film for purposes of propaganda"

Croker Listens to Barber.
Before the former Tammany
leader. Richard Croker. sailed for
Ireland with his Indian -blooded
wife, whose influence over their
father the Croker children have un-
successfully contested in courts. the
writer went around to the Hotel
Savoy and Joined group of for
mer reporter associates who were
interviewing the venerable poll
tician. Mr.. Croker said just one
thing that Is worth remembering.
Il always get my best informa-
ton from the barber. He knows
more about the issues of the day
than any other person with whom
you can come into contact. The
reason that the BARRIERS view
should be heard and respected Is
that all day he hears the opinions
Of all classes and then sums them
up and hands out his conclusions
TO his favored customers. That is
why l have made it my rule to be
shaved late in the afternoon"

not written by Mr.. worden. Never

his accustomed place directly be-
low the mayor. and cover the pro-
ceedings of the board Of estimate

Itnly's Cooperative shipping.
An exceedingly clever person some
years ago said: "a man who keeps
a monkey must pay for the glasses
il breaks" The same rule might
apply to a country. Throughout
Europe a new and strange order
of things has grown up since the
close of the great war. But ii re-
mained for Italy to produce the
crowning novelty. namely. "co-op-
erative shipping" one of five
freighters owned by an association
of 30, 900 Italian seamen having just
arrived in New York harbor with a
cargo from Naples.
