COSTS Of film
MAKING GUT

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. %.
The salary slash wave which rolled
through the studios of Hollywood
two months ago. alarming many
actors but actually injuring none,
has left behind a mad economy.
A canvass shows today that motion
pictures now are being made here
with less waste, higher speed, at
lower cost and with far greater CO.
operation among all branches of
the industry.
At the Paramount studio an
emergency cabinet was formed to
assist the producers, Jesse l.. Lasky
and B. F. Schulberg, in cutting the
overhead. This cabinet, which in.
cludes Bebe Daniels and Wallace
Berry, representing the players, and
Victor Fleming and Clarence Badger,
for the directors. has effected nu-
merous economies.
Clara Bow. Adolpfl Menjou, Pola
Negri and all the other Paramount
stars now are hitting the ball"
daily and with enthusiasm, whereas
IL was not uncommon in the past
for some Paramount companies to
assemble from fifteen minutes to an
hour late every morning.

Painless Dentistry
 Is Now Possible

Modern Methods Do Much to Make Dentistry More Pleasant Says Nm.
 ToNnrs keith, D, M. b., 33S Main
 street.
 The indifference Of many dentists to the pain they inlict is often due to lack Of sympathy because their own teeth arc not sensitive. They cay q sharp bur and a steady hand is the best way to overcome the pain.
 They may be right in some eases but l don't believe them, for this method was tried on me, years ago., sitiye, it made q marked impression. That impression is in part re- spOnsihle for my subsequent interest and research work in en1eavoring to eliminate pain from dental opera uons
 am pleased to state that can be done, although many skoptics have had the idea of painful den jistry so firmly implanted in their minlG by some of the old sharp bur and steady hand advocates that they refuse to be convinced that there is no need to suffer pain.
 Painless dental operations depend lars ,y upon the heart of the opera tor, ii he is careless, nasty or un- sympathetic he will cause pain even when adequate means are at hand 10 prevent i- Hence carofulness, patience. sympathy and an earnest desire 10 avoid pain arc the first requisites Of careful and sympa- lhctic dentist.
 In our office tho factors that con tribute 10 pajulassncss are, a desire 10 avoid pain. and an effective system of local ucsthcsja.
 But, Certain supcr-sonsitiyc teeth require something more than cyery-day methods and mcdica mouts. Such cases arc dealt with here successfully by using Nitrous Oyldo auals sa, or by nerve block Ing tdcpends on the tooth and the patiruD.
 These remedies Of course require extra time and q slight extra fee, but they successfully control the few eases that are not reached by our usuel local method.
 Another thing; tho cheerful a,Z mosphcrc of our office, tho con- geniality. and desire 10 please on the part of all our office force, does much 70 eliminate tho dread of visit to the dentist.
 When you next have dental work 10 be done and wish to ge. away rom many of the unpleasant asso- cations of the average dental chair It would be we'll to bear our office in mind -advt
