Q.-What one qualification must "A
writer Of photoplays have in album
dance?
A.-Unless YOU have a vivid imag-
ination do not attempt TO write pho
toplays. Imagination is required not
only FOR the creation of plots but
also in that the writer may be able
to visualize his story Photoplays
with a few supplementary sub-utles
are merely stories told in actions
The scenario writer must be able to
see the action in every word that
writes and therefore he should write
largely in words of action. Use verbs
generously and adjectives very spar
ingly The real test of a scenario is
whether the story can be interpreted
and made absolutely clear by means
Of action.

FORGIvING OUR DEBTORS

THE LONDON OUTLOOK lays down $ a principle It's conclusion
that the United States eventually, if not now, will find it neees-
= sary to forgive her debtors" in Europe, in the interest of re-
stored trade. The Outlook statement, as cabled by The Associated
Press. was:
"We do not ask you TO cancel that debt . 1--WE merely state
our opinion that You will cancel it. not out Of generosity or out of
ideaism, but out Of seifinterest. The only question is, when will
you do sof' You must cancel il, for until you do your industries will
he crippled, your trade will be at a standstill and your people viii
be out Of work."rr-- ata fr r
That is a very definite line of assertion. But it is inevitable that
Americans whose quarterly income taxes recur with irritating reg
ulurity, will see in it wish that fathers the thought. A forgiving of
our European debtors would be helpful, beyond a doubt, TO the debt
ors. 1t has yet TO be shwn how il could be permanently HELPFUL 10
the American people who financed the debt.
porters who would be Immediately and enormously benefited by
q forgiving our debtors" The crossroads towns and villages of
Ohio, Kansas, New Mexico and Caifornia ar unable to see how it will
benefit them directly or indirectly. 1t is doubtful if cancellation would
help our debtors, in the long run.
"As we approach the period of the Washington meeting, " says
the current issue Of the Financial Review" the propagandists in Lon
don become more vigorous. This government has never demanded
payment of the loans made TO the allies, even though its expenditures
for warfare We're in excess Of those of Great Britain. 1t has not
even requested payment of the interest. What il is entitled 10 is the
positive assurance that the moneys due are not being used to finance
political aggression and trade exclusions. Had this country demand
ed debt settlements IN 1919 there probably would have been no Rus
sian calamity, no German debacle, and no neareast playing at war
fare. Common Peace and Common Liberty are only likely when
we have more regard for the rights and the intelligence of Others"

OUR lLLTTERATE" POPULATION

n UTE a fuss has been made recently about the large proportion of
se-caicd "illterates' in certain counties Of New Mexico. This
Z fuss has had 10 do mainly with an effort to show that "ilterates'
are the only citizens in this state who vote the republican ticket at
elections. II Is a part of the disereditable propaganda used by o GER
tain type Of political propagandist who, apparently, can only see hope
for hh cause by an effort to discrcdit New Mexico. The use Of the
statistics referred to has been chiefly Of the ROTTEN borough type.
We have plenty Of iliteracy IN New Mexico without maQnifying
H. So has Chicago, West virgnin. Kentucky and ON down through
the list Of commonweahhs and great cities. Our effort should be to
overcome it as rapidly as possible. The progress that has been made
in New Mexico has been as great during the past ten years as in any
state in the union It has been such that we are entitled to boast
about il, much Ms remains TO be done. New Mexico would be helped;
ell its people would be helped If we would work more and talk less.
toward overcoming our disadvantages, and If our selfish political
fault finders would join the ranks of the builders.
The fact remains that the federal census does q number of New
Mexico counties a grave injustice in this tahulating Of ilieracy. Me-
Kinley county, for instance, is given a total population OF $4,000 and
a percentage Of 39S in initcracy. II we are correctly informed some
5000 of the total population OF that county are Navajo Indians, wards
Of the federal government, living ON a federal reservation, untaxed
and oiiside the jurisdiction Of the state in education as in everything
else. The same condition is true, although in lesser degree as regards
half a dozen other counties.
We have our problem Of illheracy 10 overcome. We are trying
20 overcome it and are doing fairly well at the job. Nothing that is
for the welfare of New Mexico can be accomplished by exaggerating
the situation.
