 INJURIES COLLEEN
THRILL SCENE IN THE DESERT FLOWER" NOT FN
 PICTURE

1 The snip Of a scissors in a film cutters hands has saved Colleen Moore, First National star, from aad- ed fame as a so-caned "stuuf" per former.
 IL happened on a desert stretch near Barstow, Cal. The cameras were whirling merrily as director IT, wing Cummings gave the word and Miss Moore, calico garbed f0r be- role in The Desert Flower" playing at the Liberty theater tonight and tomorrow, started to pump the hand lebars Of a hand car and enter the radius of the camera lens.
 Waving a greeting to the Mexican section hands, who made way for her as she neared them, Miss Moore sped along the shining rails breezily. Cummings smiled approvingly and the cameras followed the action.
 Just as the director was about to shout Cut" and complete the scene, the cumbersome handcar entered an area where the track shot into considerable dip. It gained momen- tum at an alarming rate and the handle bars were literally wrung from Miss Moore's hands.
 The plucky actress grabbed for them to regain her hold, but by that time the speed Of the vehicle had so increased that she was hurled skyward.
 While the onlookers gasped, Miss Moore turned a complete aerial som ersault and landed on the rear Of the handcar, registering a perfect ex- pression of flabbergasted incredibly, not to be improved upon by a Chap lin or a Semon.
 Anxious hands soon brought the runaway car to a halt and rescued Miss Moore from her precarious pos ition. And strained Egament in her neck put her in bed for several weeks, delaying the completion of the picture.
 The cameras had caught the i'm promptu scene perfectly, but it had to come out because the scenario didn't call for it.

DECEMBER 10, 1926

The impact of a little resentment now
and then is therefore taken by most
newspapers as a slight token that
they may be interesting somebody.
But what must forever remain dark
mystery to newspapers is how the
"stop the paper" mind manages to
enjoy life. Every newspaper editor
worth half his pay envelope reads
columns day of opinion diametrical-
~ opposed to his fondest convictions.
He receives letters lambasting him
for his errors of ignorance and vicious
impulse, he sees visitors determined
to convert him to the right assthey see
it if it takes all winter. Differences
with his viewpoint are presented on
Monday persuasively, on Tuesday So
physically, on Wednesday emotional
", on Thursday logically, on Friday
ludicrously, on Saturday convincingly
and on Sunday, perhaps, more in
anger than in sorrow, and in the af-
ternoons with all known adverbial
shadings in between.
But would he shut off this flow Of
superior illumination? Would he ex-
change it for a world pulsating with
universay approval? On the con-
trary, whether or not he does do his
best work and his straightest thinking
under the ceaseless shower Of adverse
counsel, he knows that if the shower
ever stopped his life would lose half
its stimulus and his job half its fun.
1t is this professional, if not strict
ly human, delight in normal discords
and the claim of individualities which
makes an incorrigibly speculative cor
poration like a newspaper wonder
once in so often, what kind of a hea-
ven the stop the paper mind" wants
to go to when it dies. Is it, by any
chance, myriad congregation of ad-
miring angels, with solemn faces and
harps attuned to a soothing melody,
chanting through endless ages the lit
urgy-"Yes, Mr.. Jones, you're right ?"

BUYING THINGS ON TIME
prescott Courier)

The once humble ''installment plan"
has grown from vaudeville joke in
1920 to an indispensable support now
of American prosperity and stand
ards of living. Last year." points
out Harper Leach in a recent maga-
zine article, our people bought S4,-
00,000,000 worth of goods 'on time;
and these purchases, except for furni-
ture. jewelry, and pianos, were mostly
products of new industries" he said
Asserting that the above estimate
is probably SO per cent too low, the
writer continues, Last year finance
companies, automobile dealers, and
banks combined handled about S2.-
100,000,000 worth of deferred pay
ments on new cars (75h per cent of
all manufactures) and 100000, 900
worth of notes given for the purchase
of used cars. The average amount of
such credit outstanding at any time
last year was 81 ,500,0O000O.
'It is difficult to estimate the total
cost of this credit to buyers" the
writer goes on, "because of the wide
variation as to the amount of down.
payments, maturities, interest and in
surance rates. On a gilt-edged con-
sumer financing the average cost is
about $85 to $1,000 worth of notes.
We are safe in saying that the total
cost OF consumer automobile credit is
somewhere between S255, 100000 and
S450,000,000 a year, with $330,00O, 900
probably a close approximation It
costs the nation nothing: on the con-
trary, it has caused additions to the
national wealth in goods far in excess
Of its COST
