estimates that there are $4,000 thea<

motion pictures, that 20.000000 per-
sons attend the performances every
day, and that the admissions paid ag-
gregate $4,0OO,0O0 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,

Americans. Lose by Collapse Of Mark

COLLAPSE Of the German mark to
point below i cent, for the first
time in financial history, has
caused u 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 hum
dreds of varied channels.
The guess of one banker is that no
less than $100,000,000 worth Of marks
have been disposed 9f IN thez United
States since the arinistice, and <that
the average price paid for these marks
was Approximately 2sA cents. On that
basis. and at the present quotation,
Approximately 60 CENTS Of every Amer
lean dollar put into marks has peen
lost
1t was not until midsummer, after
the armlstice was signed, that quota
tions in the. German mark were re-
sumed. They started At ~ to 3 cents
I per mark.
The appeal Of the traffic In German
currency was dfrected ut those Familiar

AIS, $50; in the fiscal year 1917 the
ordinary receipts of the government
reached $1,1lS.174,126. The first Lib

ury in the fiscal year 1917 the sum
of 81. 466 335.O95. That is, the sum
spent on one form of amusement alone
in the United States In year equals

say 1915, 100000, comes from patrons
of theaters showing films distributed

attempt in the dispatches from Wash

divided; how much goes for rent Of
theaters, how much TO theater 0rches

and how much to the treasury OF the
corporation whose business rs to be
investigated.
The newspapers print "a general
deniaf of charges from the Offices Of

denial is made regarding the exclusion
of independent films, the corporation
declaring that 1t cant get enough

German government would soon be on
its feet. and that her financers would
quickly bring the mark back to 23.S
cents. its pre-war worth. The bait
was attractive.
The decline in marks is due to the
oversupply furnished by the German
printing press, including treasury
notes and other forms of paper cur
rency. The German circulation now
outstanding is In excess of 100000
100000 marks. The gold held by the
reichsbank is only about ! per cent of
this sum-.

Years

Prof S. D. Hwkins, of Columbus,
formerly of Americas, was visitor
here today and paid the Times-Re-
corder a call. Nh. Hawkins is a not
ed Bible picture lecturer, having
spoken in some of the largest cities
in the country. He was born and
reared in this city and has many
friends in Americas.
Mr.. Hawkins on Monday address
cd the Shiloh rural school while on
a visit to his uncle, G. &. Jordan,
Of Sumter county. He will probably
speak in Americas and Ellaville at

Mr.. Hawkins was recently mar
ried and his wife and his mother
Mrs L. E. Hawkins, accompanied
him to his old home here. Several
social events have been planned IN
honor of Mr.. Hawkins and wife
while they stay in the city.
Mr.. Hawkins was a student of the
Americas public school under the
superintendency of j. E. Mathis. He
is very much pleased with the prog
