The easiest and simplest explanation of crime waves

History in general the weather record for long

brought to light by the complaint
made against one Of the motion pic

estimates that there are $4,000 thea
tiers in the United States devoted to
motion pictures, that 20,00O0OO per-
sons attend the performances every
day, and that the admissions paid ag-
gregate $4OOO,0OO each "a hours. This
is the retail end of the business, and
the vast sum Of money that goes for
tickets Is paid at the ticket offices
in cash. 1t may safely be assumed
that the business Is as great on Sun
days as on other days. Therefore 1t
appears that 81 460,0OO,000 Is spent

Americans Lose by Collapse of Mark

COLLAPSE of the German mark to
u a point below cent, for the first
time in financial history has
caused a loss OF millions of dollars to
American investors and Spectators
The exact amount of this loss Is diff
cult to even approximate, for marks
have been sold in this country, as well
as in all other countries, in every CON
ceivable manner, and through hun
dreds of varied channels.
The guess of one banker Is that no
less than $l000O0,00O worth Of marks
have been disposed of in the United
States since the armistice. and that
the average price paid for these marks
was approximately 21a cents. On that
basis, and at the present quotatlOn'
approximately co cents of every Amer
lean dollar put into marks has been
lost.
It was not until midsummer, after
the armstice was signed. that quota
lions in the German mark were re-
sumed. They started at IA to s cents
per mark.
The appeal Of the traffic in German
currency was directed at those familiar
with Germany and her Industrial and
financial efficiency in pre-war days.
With the mark selling at 3, 4, 3, or 2
cents, the point was made that the

CARELESS Of the decisions of the con-

Plans are already laid to wage a
spirited campaign in both the senate
and house to curtall the size Of the
army and navy, cutting far below even
the minimum fixed for the present
fiscal year.
Fear is felt that the prospective de-
bate and the probability of action by
congress while the conference is in
progress might seriously embarraSs the
American delegates and handicap them
in their negotiations with the repre-
Sentatives of the other principal pow
ers.
On the other hand, disarmament adj
E0cates contend that further curtail-
nent of American armament would not
interfere with the proceedings in the
international conference, but would
furnish an example of disintereStpd-
ness and assist in accomplishing the
primary object of the conference
namely: the limitation of armament.
