Editorial Comment
Two Reasons Why Crime Thrives
(Boston Post)

(Boston PoSt
There are two reasons for the
present disgraceful condition Of af-
fairs.
One is that slick lawyers are run
ming wild, taking~every INSCRIPTIONS
advantage of the law. The reason
they have not been curbed is that
the community is powerless to act,
having surrendered its rights and it's
power to lawyers. Lawyers make
the laws, they have control of the
enforcement and they make the rules
for their own conduct.
The second reason for the present
unhappy situation is that criminals
with money have an enormous ad-
vantage in our courts. Inasmuch as
most criminals nowadays are well
supplied with cash, they can buy the
best legal brains that are for sale.
Shrewd and cold blooded lawyers.
with a fat fee in their pockets. can
either defy or block for a long time
the efforts of officers of the law to
send crooks to Jail.
Remedy these two evils and the
crime wave will come to a sudden
halt. The courts will be Cleaned
up" in short order. Time spent in
looking for other causes for the
failure of Justice is wasted.

COMMA SLEUTH IS
 HOUND OF MOVIES
His Job Is to Seek Mis-.
 spelled Words

Hollywood, Nov. 3 LP The Comma Detective" the Wrist watch Hound" and the Human are three queer sounding dignitaries whose influ- ence is a potent one on the screen.
 These are three of myriad of workers whose efforts help make the motion pictures of today. They work under cover; their names do not blaze In electric they are, in measure, the heart and soul of the screen plays of today
 Seeks MisspelIed Words
 The Comma Detective" at the Metro-G Goldwyn-Meye studios is Danny Gray by name and chief film editor by title. One of his duties is to pass on every subtitle made in the studio, to see that the artists painting them have left no mis- spelled words, misplaced commas or superfluous punctuation. It is a task akin to that of a copy-reader on a newspaper.
 The Wrist watch Hound" searches the crowd scenes with lis eyes, lest the glitter of a wrist watch mar an ancient scene in a historical picture. The champion wrist watch sleuth" of the studio is Charles Dorian, an assistant direc- tor. They say no wrist watch has ever escaped him. Extras are prone 10 forget to remove them when getting into costume.
 Visualizes Screen Colors
 The Human Spectroscope" is John Nicholaus, superintendent Of the laboratory. From long practice, he can glance at a setting or cos tune. and tell exactly how It's colors will appear in the black and white Of the finished film. He goes over each setting with the chief of the art department. who designs them to check on 'reds" and "blues' - which photograph as basic black and white on the film.
 I.inguists also have their uses in the silent drama. The makeup ex- pert has an important place. Then there is the military authority whc knows every detail of European and military and court etiquette. His services do much to make foreign stories authentic.
 Among others are historians, re- search architects. artists, and a staff of costume designers.
