The latter does not begin to function
until November /.
The debate on the graft resolution
was started by Senator Walker, who at
the very outset in objecting to its adop-
ton repeated some of the attacks made
upon the investigation by Mr.. Living
ston.
"The Republican county leaders Of
New York City" said Senator Walker,
almost without exception have said
that this investigation was bad thing
and might prove a boomerang"
Il am not speaking as party man
now, for some of our men think an in
vestigation will be a good thing for us
politically, and it is left entirely to the
individual judgment to determine how
they shall vote on this"
Republicans Laugh at Him
part Of the Republicans at this. Ignor-
ing the laughter, Senator Walker con-
tinued:
II don't mind an investigation which
goes after honest evidence, but | don't
like frame-up. | believe that what
should be done, If there has been any
| malfeasance on the part Of Mayor
Hylan or any other city official, is for
the Governor to remove him, and that
can be done without spending 500 900
II have no fear Of an investigation
have tried to find way to vote for
this resolution, but I could not and 20
home and justify the appropriation Of
100000, which this bill carries. I
have in mind what Mr.. Livingston has
said on this score-that it will be
money wasted"
Senator Martin G. McCue, another
Tammany representative, then took
the floor and hurled abuse on all who
have been connected with the fght
for an investigation.

What 1t Costs
To Advertise

The cost Of successful advertising on Z national
scale is amazingly small
If you were to spend one cent per family per
year for Advertising your.expenditure for the year
would be about $4,000.
The average total expenditure for advertising
space Tin hfty-six leading magazines) is less than
one-quarter Of this sum.
In other words, the average national advertiser
buys less than $4,000 worth Of space per year. or
less than one-quarter of cent per family in the
United States.
The largest user of space spends about million
per year in national publieatons-6ve cents per
family or one cent per person in that family.
This advertiser does business Of shout
$l2oooo'ooo per year-or a sale per family of S.
one dollar per person.
OF course an advertising appropriation includes
expenditures in addition to the cost of space that
are most necessary but relatively small in amount

the resolution"
He did, thus giving a little founda-
tion to the statement made by the Tam
many leader that each member of the
minority could vote as he saw fit on the
measure.
Senator Bernard N. Downing, an
other Tammany adherent, said that,
while he had no personal objection to
an estigation, nevertheless he would
vote against it.
Senator McCue, who had resumed his
seat after his attack on the principal
proponents Of the investigation, jumped
TO his feet when Senator Downing re-
linquished the floor and shouted:
"They are the meanest sort of crooks

Disabled Soldiers Seize

Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune INC.
ROME, April 13.-Disabled Italian
soldiers, indignant and desperate at
their inability to find work and the
failure of the government to employ
them, occupied the railway Office yes
terdsy in protest against the recent
hiring of one thousand girls for per-
manent railroad clerkships. President
Pelegrini of the League of Disabled
Soldiers defended the action Of the
veterans warmly in an interview to-
day, in which he said:
The occupation of the offices by dis
;aoied soldiers is justified, as the men
nave waited two years for jobs prom
ised by the government.
Since private firms refuse to en-
pioy them. the men must find employ
,s,nt ment with the government or starve.
inus they are determined at all costs
70 prevent girls occupying posts be-
-onging to them and will occupy other
government Offices subsequently,"

! with Pathe and Gaumont and an
| American company 1.-THE Fox Film
Company has invaded France.
All told they produce about IS
pictures a year-probably 100000
feet of film. This represents about
ten per cent of the total shown in
France in the course of a year. The
remaining Is per cent-75 per cent
being American-is split up among
Italian, Swedish and English pictures.
The mere fact that such an immense
proportion of American pictures is
purchased in spite of the unfavorable
exchange rate shows their popularity.
With a total invested capital of
half billion francs, the leaders in
the moving picture industry here have
not yet been able to offer financial
inducements to popular actresses and
actors sufficient to make them aban-
don the legitimate stage. There are
no movie stars in France. There is
not single name which stands out
like any one of the scores Of favor
ties known to every American. Pick
up a newspaper and look over the
cinema advertisements. There you
will see all the familiar names blaz-
oned forth on Broadway, once in a
while an English star, but never
French name. Pictures made in the
French studios are flung together in
hit-or-miss style. The chief perform
ers snatch half hour now and then
between rehearsals or performances
at the theatre which employs them.
There are scarcely any regularly or
ganized moving picture actors.
French pictures find ready sale in
South America and, in fact, in all the
Latin countries. The Balkans and
EgyRt buy large part of the output
of the studios, chiefly because the ex-
change rate Of those countries is ia
vorable to business with France, but
also because the "stories" are better
suited to the people of those countries
than the American picture subjects.

per cent Of the pictures shown on the
screen are American products.
1t is only in very recent years that
France took the motion pictures seri
ously. Just before the war there was
an attempt to make better films, to
put into the film business something
Of the artistic genius which has made
the French stage supreme in the
dramatic world. The war stopped
this effort and gave the American
producers a chance to capture the
market, SO that today Chariot" and
Mary and Doug and "ze Faar West"
and "ze cooboy" are the stock in
trade of the film fans conversation.
1T isn't that France lacks material
for good pictures" said an American
motion picture producer to the Unit
ed Press. But the French have been
left miles behind in the art of making
good pictures. They have learned
nothing Of lighting effects. They have
better actors than we have in Amer
lea. Their scenarios are in general
as good or better. They have ideal
conditions for outdoor effects, but
when it is question of studio set,
they are lost. They need a course of
instruction in the elements of film
making and until they get! it the
French film industry cannot be a seri-
Gus rival to the American producers"
Before the war the E'm industry
in France was .:::lct taiiy IN the hands
of two companies-Pathe and Gau-
mont. These were the kings Of the
business. There were perhaps
twelve hundred movie theatres in the
country. At present there are about
1000 theatres and several new COM
psnies have been organized. Eclipse,
