The collapse OF 1920 was by no

the inevitable sequel to the imitation

perhaps none more than banking,
against which this criticism has been
levelled The financial situation OF the
farmers was greatly aggravated by the
fact that the high land values and high
prices of agricultural products had led
many farmers to incur obligations
based on the inflated values. If the
farmer was victimized at all, indeed,
he was the victim of too much rather
than too little consideration. The
real progress which has been achieved
in agricultural iSsance in recent years
lies more in the intelligent distribution

One in $4,000 Wins
Success in Movieland

Hollywood, Cal.-Figures compiled
during the last five years by the larg
est moving picture producing com
panies reveal that the aspirant to star
dom in the films must overcome a so
0OO-to-1 chance of achieving success.
The figures indicate that, in the last
five years. screen service bureaus of
Hollywood have supplied more than
100000 men, women and children who
at first were inexperienced in moving
picture work. OF these 100000, not to
exceed six or seven have reached a
point where their names were carried
on the screen, and only two have be-
come stars of any magnitude.
Many included in the figures had
some theatrical experience, and the
contrast is drawn with the fact that
nearly all the prominent stars and fea-
tured players have had stage expert
ence.

Each contender in the battle of
metals is versatile, and is outstanding
in those qualities of character for
which metals are admired. Not the
least of their trials Of strength have

chemical laboratories. Gold proudly
maintains it can spread itself out more
than any other metal. An ounce of
gold beaten into gold leaf will cover
189 square feet. Platinum counters
with the challenge that 1t can stretch
farther than any other known metal.

platinum is an important cataIyZer,

'If Lydenberg in the Transvaal
proves a good field, platinum will find
quick use for it to fill in a big gap
in her lines, for the original major
source of the precious metal is run
ming out. Before 1914, more than 90
per cent of the worlds platinum
came out of the Russian mines near
Ekaterinburg, in the Ural mountains.
But the best gravels there have been
worked and now the world looks to
Colombia in South America. Other
deposits are known, some even in the
United States, but the amounts are
slim any place. Platinum, like most
natural resources, is no respecter of
man-made border lines and is appar-
emily not even particular about the
continent where 1t takes up lodging.
Neither platinum nor gold is the
