American Salt Springs

The geographic survey says that
there are many springs in this country
which contain small amounts of ep-
som salts, particularly in the states
of Virginia and Kentucky. Springs be-
ing heavily saturated with epson
salts are Pluto springs, French Lick,
Ind, and Abilena water springs, Abb
Iene, Kan.

Few persons took with any considerable serious
ness the announced detectives Of the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation when II was formed,
less than twenty years ago. 1t had secured the
rights to present certain celebrated players Of the
legitimate stage in a series of motion pictures,
and the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company,
too, was looked upon undertaking somewhat
ambitious program-for those times in moving
picturedom.
So when these two leaders in their field Joined
forces under the title Famous Players-Lasky Cor
poration and there subsequently arose from that
union the Paramount Pictures there were quer-
ulously minded persons who were moved to OBJ
serve: They have promulgated some coIorful
plans and enunciated some ideaustic notions,
but"
Today, with the passing Of years, Adolph
luxor, who founded Famous Players, may well
murmurs" But me no butts" There is ample tusti-
fcation in his achievements
Go, the reader will, to the corner of New
York's Forty-third street and Seventh avenue
where It effects iuncture with Broadway and
gaze at the physical manifestation of what one
may term Zukorism. For there, rising hundreds
Of feet skywards, stands an edifce which repre-
sents An Ideal. Imagination, 1t may be said built
that stony edifce which towers with all the
majesty and all the radated power which is to-
day the physical realization of the potentiality of
that idea and ideal held by Adolph Zukor some
twenty years ago
The Realizing of Ideals
And yet that edifce can perform no greater
service If 1t is to stand in eloquent muteness as
signifying the heights to which earnest producers
are ultimately TO ascend artistically. For that
seems now TO be worthy objective perhaps
the worthiest objective, since man is generally
known by his achievements.
Today with science and invention carrying the
world forward more rapidly and to attainments
hitherto only dreamed, Is the day OF Service. To
better each days task in the effort of tomorrow
ought to be the creed Of every forward man, and
virtually is. Adolph Zukor no doubt appreciates
this fact; he scarcely could be the man he Is II
he were not conscious Of it So is ii pertinent,
and permissible well, to indulge in the surmiss
that his pictures will grow steadily finer; that
the presentation Of programs in the motion pic
ture theatres will by degrees achieve Ioftier
standards carrying with them the improved
tastes Of the people who. under such stimulation
must become spiritually and culturaIIy better
citizens in all that the word implies
The story Of Adolph luxor is one Of almost fam
tastic character Born of humble parents In
Ricse, Hungary, he came to this country in 1889
Whether he had $40 in his possession when he
walked ashore from the ship or only $2s, Mr.

A car
for every purse
and purpose

THIS YEAR the General Motors line is an
i imposing Automobile Show in itself.
Here is every style of body. Every type of
design = four cylinder, six cylinder, eight
cylinder. Every Improvement. Every price,
from the Chevrolet touring car at $50 to
the Cadillac with special coach work at
$4,000. A car for eUery purse and purpose.
Every one of the models now on display
is different and distinguished. Yet two uni
fving characteristics bind them all together:
4 EVERY CLOSED BODY is by Fisher.
i The quality of all body workmanship
Fisher quality, and because Fisher is owned by
General Motors, every resource has been utilized
to make body and chassis perfect quality unit.
, EVERY MODEL has shared in the
Il advantages of General Motors research,
purchasing standards and Proving Ground tests;
and In the economies of volume production.
Dollar for dollar you will buy more value in the
car you select because of General Motors quality
and the publics purchase of more than 100000
General Motors cars last year.
THE GENERAL MOTORS line is a direct
i result of the record-breaking patron
age accorded by the public in 1926. The
economies which this great volume af-
forded have been passed on to the car
purchaser in even better quality. With great
pride we invite you to inspect these new
General Motors cars and to make one or
more of them your own.

HURRY THAT BUILDING

Whatever else may happen as a result of the
unfortunate handling of the building of the new
Shortridge High School, there must be no delay in
getting that building.
1t is unfortunate that the change in the school
board was followed by plans effort to change
location which blocked by public protest, the
shift of plans which proved to be more costly to
the citizens.
The people probably will set down additional cost
as the price they may pay for mistake of judgment
at the polls.
The people always pay for bitter political con-
troverses in which the best interest of the public
is forgotten in political strife and bitterness They
pay in money, but the boys and girls of this city
ought not to pay in education
There is one big fact which should be kept in
mind by the school board and by all interested
citizens.
The new Shortrdge building is needed and de-
lay in its construction is the costly experiment
which be attempted.
The school should be under construction at the
present tine if it is to be finished when needed
Every week and month Of delay will prevent
the youth of this city from the educational facilities
which they need.
The urge now is for all haste and for the elimi-
nation of every unnecessary delay
The school board, let it be hoped will concen-
trate on the problem of getting the work started
and started at once.
If that can be done before all the minor contracts
are let including the for ventilation it should be
done.
The big job is to get the building and get it at
the time it is needed

slough. Many people the disordered welter of
foreign and domestic political and national affairs
and conclude that the great sacrifice of the war
than it before 1914.
There is where the value of perspective lies
If you would escape from pessimism, learn to
look at things in their proper proportion. Remem-
Der that you are too near to current events now
gauge them correctly The true fruits of the sacri-
flee of the war are not yet apparent; but they are
rpening, slowly and surely
Consider for a minute; during the decade after
the Civil War, it must have seemed to a sensitive
observer as if the results hardly worth the
terrible cost. The South was enduring agonies in
the reconstruction period; the Government was
honeycombed with graft and intrigue; politics was
bitter, sordid and mercenary; the dawnng reign of
ndustrialism bringing brutality and misery to
the lives of thousands
Surely one might have been justified then in
sinking into pessimsm But today, viewing those
days with the proper perspective, see what
people then could not see; that the sacrifices were
not in vain, that something much finer and better
than the old order was born in the blood and fury
of the Civil War.
1t is the same today We may not be able to see
better times" ahead; but the eye Of history half
century hence, will clearly how the world took
one more step toward beginning with 1914
Try to see the events of today in the right per-
spective. You will escape dependency and doubt

Public Enterprise

what inks the people most is the
fact that California law permits up
to 80 per cent for promotion ex-
penscs. which means that if the
bridge were built under private aus
pices 80 per cent could be added to
its actual cost and tolls regulated
so as to cover the same.
The actual cost is estimated to run
anywhere from $5O,OOO,000 to three
times that amount.
Outside of certain groups Of cap
italists who see an opportunity to
make a killing through a promotion
allowance of 30 per cent and compel
future generations to pay it all back
with more or less on the side, San
Francisco people are in favor of con.
structing this bridge as a public en-
terprise.
An outsider can see no reason
why they shouldn't. 1t is a good
investment for bankers. construc-
ton companies, or railroads, why
isn't it just as good for the people?
Certainly, the people can borrow the
money at a lower rate of interest
and save that 80 per cent for promo
ton expenses.

AN ABHORRENT PRINCIPLE

Censorship such has no place in this or any
other State. 1t is always the opening wedge into
the liberties of free speech and free press
There is much mere to be feared from the in
ection into State government OF this principle of
guarding the morals and thought of the people by
avs and boards than there is from those who would
'orrupt for profit
The people have had protection against in
,ocency and pruriency in the standards adopted by
the United States mails.
There are laws under which those who debauch
or who oyerstep the boundaries of decency may be
prosecuted and placed in jail-where they should be
Whenever any censorship is adopted it means
that little group enforce their standards and their
judgment, changing and shifting with the outlook of
those named as censors.
We have had too much supervision and too
much attempt to make people good by law That
attempt has always failed. Censors have only been
wide advertisements and never effective
The soundness of the people must be realized
upon in the final test to protect the morality of civil
cation.
Whenever suppression through very human
censors is attempted it only results in destroying
the purpose for which it is adopted
If the present Legislature begins to censor on
moral grounds, the next step is to censor on DO
litical grounds. 1t is dangerous in principle and
vicious in practice

Realizes Destiny

San Francisco senses her destiny.
She plans along Gargantuan lines.
Her dreams are not Of another 100.-
600 by the next census, or of a
building record that will eclipse that
of last year.
Here are projects for power de-
velopment and better transportation
that make those other cities seem
small and temporary.
Uncle Sam hesitates to tackle
Boulder Dam, but San Francisco is
actually completing the Hetch-
Hetchy project. New York signs
with pride whenever a mile long
bridge is thrown over East river or
the Hudson, but San Francisco is
considering a bridge across six miles
of water that is 200 feet deep.

women, and Dix is such a. guy in
Paradise for Two" He starts out
playing poker with married men at
a club and he resents it when one
of the dear wives calls up to COM
mand husband to complete the inn
portant business engagement and
come home at once. And the dear
husbands at the card table do just
that. OF course. the hero of the
story is Disguised with such proceed
ings and when a wife prevents even
a porter from playing a friendly
game of cards our hero is sure that
it is all wrong, especially women,
But our hero forgets that many an
interesting girl wants to go on the
stage, and such girl lives near our
hero. So she rents herself out to
our hero as his wife to deceive his
uncle to the point that 'unke" will
give our hero a pot Of money or
something along that line. We have
the same situation of many years
standing that one expects in such
an affair.
OF course the poor girl gets fed up
on her part and the hero starts to
love her. The ending of course is
that the hero stops playing poker
and marries the girl The ending,
that is the way the directors puts it
over, is clever, but the director is
not always so clever in this case.
Richard Dix of course is the well
hammered chap. He hasn't so much
to do, but he has that nice way about
him which proves that he can be
interesting in any kind of a movie.
Betty Bronson is the sweet girl,

hater into a first class sheik. And
it is interesting TO notice the methods
used by her.

Sound Initial Bid viii
Show Two Quick
Tricks.
By Milton c. Work
The pointer for today is:

A sound initial bid may be d
pended upon to show two quid
tricks a
All first bids, whether made y
Dealer, Second Hand, Third Han
Or Fourth Hand. are original bid
but original bids made by Dealer 4
Second Hand ii. e., by a player who's
partner has not previously passe
arc also called initial bids, to disti
guish them from original bids mad
by a Third or Fourth Hand whoI
partner has passed. 1t is obviot
that greater strength may be q
pected from "A partner who has nj
been heard from, than from on
who. by passing, has announced thi
he has not the strength required Il
an initial bid. Therefore origin
bids by Third and Fourth Hand 1
quire greater strength than init'
bids by Dealer or Second Hand.
There is a clear distinction
tween original No Trump bids a
original suitbids; but they have-o
feature in common, viz: that n
make the bid the hand is expec y
to contain two quick tricks.
A quick trick is a King Queen
e.. a King and a Queen Of the saf
suit or an Ace. An Ace King e.
an Ace and King of the same sd
is two quick tricks. An Ace of o.
suit and King-Queen of anoth
would be two quick tricks; but
Ace in one suit, a King in a secoI
and a Queen in the third, would II
be two quick tricks because the
would be no certainty that either t
King or the Queen, unsupported
other high cards, would take trio
There is an even chance that II
King would do so, and much lei
than an even chance that the Quee
would; but those TWO chances col
bined cannot be considered Il
equivalent of a quick trick.
