Moving Picture Machinery

Did you ever stop to think while
your attention was riveted to a film
production that il costs several mil
lion dollars year TO make machinery
that makes the pictures? There were
% establishments engaged in the
manufacture OF making picture ma
chinery in 1919, and the value of the
machinery that was made totaled 49,
GOSSIP. The Census Bureau has no
available figures for 1914, as motion
picture machinery, even so recently
as nine years ago. was not classed
with the principal manufacturers OF
the country. Doubtless when the
next statistics are available through
another census it will be found that
even the respectable numerals shown
in the above story will shrink nightly
in comparison with later figures.

Printing Machinery

No one knows as we'll as do publish
ers that II is an everlasting race TO
keep up with the great game of print
ing, which can only be done through
the constant addition of printing ma
chinery. Before the war a good many
newspapers were apparently run for
fun or as a convenience to political
parties and factions. In 1914 there
were IS establishments making print
ing presses, and their total product
for the year was SS.So6.50S. But by
1919 newspaper publishing had as
sumed all the real dignity and respon-
sibility attached to modern business.
Whereas papers never quit, but were
frequently transferred. prior to the
war, in the aftermath of the world 5
greatest fight. the printing business
had been "reincarnated." This is
shown by the fact that newspaper
publishers are now in the business
class that fail, make assignments. and
are thrown into receiverships. There
are no longer IS manufacturers OF
printing presses and that part of
manufacturing with publishers as GUS
toners, has evidently been "trustihed,"
since there are now only So establish

What the Dollar Buys

An interesting study of the purchas-
ing power of the dollar from 1918 TO
1923 has been made by the u. s Blu
reau of Labor Statistics and published
in the September issue OF the Monthly
Labor Review. According to this sur
very, the purchasing power OF the 1913
dollar, which was taken as the stand

years. 1t purchased more commodi-
ties in 1914 and 1915 than in 1918, but
began to decline in 1916 until in May.

purchasing power as compared with
1918 In June, 1928, its purchasing
power as compared with 1918 was o5
cents.

states that although during the month
of August there was a slight decrease,
less than per cent. in amount OF en-

was also slight increase, also less
than per cent. in the total amount OF
wages paid. The figures cover 81
different industries and 5000 different

with August. 1922. there was in in

Cost of Raising Crops

Reports have been compiled by the
u. s. Department of Agriculture from
over 1900 farmers on costs of produc-
ton Of the 1922 crop. These figures
show that on the average in 1922 it
cost GO cents to produce bushel OF

oats. and Sl.23 to produce bushel Of
wheat. The cost figures include all
charges for labor and for use of land.

Workers Lay Away Money

The postal savings accounts for the
month of August showed the greatest
increase of any month since December
1920 This increase is attributed to
healthy industrial conditions. since il

OF foreign birth, who are the best pa
irons of the postal savings system
The largest increase in deposits was
reported by New York City. with Bos-
ton. Mass. second and Denver Colo,

month was $4,000.

Considerable space has been given
by newspapers and magazines to the
fiftieth birthday of modern typewrit-
ers. But the general use OF these ma
chimes has not been much more than
half that long. During the last census
year that has been reported il is found
that there are 80 establishments in the
United States engaged in making
typewriters, and their annual product
has reached s45.3l3,3lo. This is more
than double the output before the war,
and it is shown that in the year 1914
that the value of this machinery pro-
duced at the factories amounted to
$20,5l6,532.

Must Protect Forests

Any hope that the United States
may depend upon imports OF lumber
when the country's own forests are
exhausted must be abandoned. says
the Forest Service, United States De-
partment OF Agriculture. Attention is
called to the fact that this country is
using up its forests four times as rap
idly as they are being replaced. Forest
fires alone burn over 100000 acres
of forest land every year. destroying
not only mature trees. but-what is
worse-the young growth as we'll.
