 Admission Cost
 Building of great theatres mak- ing available to the public the finest type of entertainment at relatively low admission cost, Mr, Zukor said, has helped the exAi; bition side, and the greatly in- creased audience already realized is regarded as a vigorous sign of health and a happy augury for the industry's future.
 Growth of foreign trade he views as dependent, like domestic business, upon the public's pleas ure. He said there is every indi- cation that the American picture is maintaining it's hold at the box offices abroad, and it is just as true that America is welcoming outstanding foreign pictures, ada ing.
 "The whole situation simply re- solves itself into a matter of pleasing the public, wherever To- cated."

When the great Cecil B. DeMjlle elevated Rod La Rocque to star dom and the leading role in "The Coming of Amos" under the ii rection of Paul Sloane, it was generally conceded that as a De Mile star this rising young screen actor was assured of fame and fortune.
 However it was not so far con 'ceded in this Producers Distribut ing Corporation release which opened yesterday at the Palace Theatre: for a two day run that II this leading role under DeMille's personal supervision he was to make screen history.
 But he has. As Amos" he < given the opportunity to poul forth all the sincerity, all the re alism, all the indescribable touches of humor and pathos that he has evidently kept stored away for this momentous occasion.
 
 The story starts in Australia with La Rocque on sheep ranch With breath-taking suddenness I sweeps to the gay Riviera and a life of ease and luxury such as he has never dreamed of. There he meets the beautiful Russian prin cess, with whom he falls desper ately in love, and also the crafty and powerful villain played by Noah Beery.
 The perils and dangers that be set him in his courtship of the exotic Russian woman make ul the highlights of this highly thrill ing and. breath-taking screen mar rative.
 Trixie Friganza and Richard Carle in featured roles give add ed worth to a highly admirable cast, worthy of such producer and such a story as "The Coming of Amos" ' z

STAR CHOSEN TO FIT
 STORY IN MOVIES IS
 REORDERIlNC SCHEME

NEW YORK, Feb. 1-The mo. tion picture industry is reversing the adage and hitching the star to the wagon.
 It isn't that the advice is un- sound; rather that vehicles are improving and not all stars pos sess all the qualities needed for every hitching.
 In other words Adolph Zukor. president of the Paramount Fla nous Players LRsky Corporation, tells The Assooiated Press that stars are being fitted to the story rather than the story to the star as one phase of de- cided movement toward reduction of waste, improvement of earn ings and stabilization of the in- dustry.
 There is no disposition to penal ize ability by reducing salaries Of stars and executives, except where adequate screen results are not forthcoming, MT Zukor said, ex. blaming that the greatest savings are looked for in increased sf ficiency and preparedness of pro duction.
 "TaIking Movies"
 Talking movies" have beer taken quite seriously, although progress so far appears to be Ill the direction of musical accom-. paniment and introducing effects, leaving the matter of giving voice to the actors to those occasions when words would enhance the drama. Incidentally Mr. Zukor intimates that Paramount prob. ably will make an interesting an. nouncement ,-- this connection in the near future.
 But about this reordering of the industry's inner structure.
 "In an industry which grew so rapidly and reached, within the space of a few years, such com manding position in public fay or" MT. Zukor said, naturally business practices arose which have to be discarded when the stabilization era arrives.
 This is the meaning of the de- termined and successful efforts to curtail costs in the interest of better pictures and better service to the public. The studio dead wood is being weeded out, but it should be clearly understood that this policy is in. the direction of progress and is in no sense a confession of failure. When this program is fully completed, earn ings will rise as a matter of course. -
 Pruning Salaries
 "A good deal has been said about the reduction of salaries of stars and executives. There Is ID disposition to penalize ability, but where imitation of salaries exist. without adequate return in screen results, the pruning process is in evitable.
 "The greatest savings in the motion picture business, however, will come from increased efficien- cy and preparedness in produc- tion. By this I mean plans for the entire seasons production will be laid out at the beginning of the season. on a budget basis. and the lost motion and time be- tween pictures will thereby be cut to minimum; this, in turn. substantially cutting the cost of production.
 Mir. zukor believes there will be no sacrifice of art in carrying out the efficiency program.
 "The swing is clearly in the direction Of better stories" hs v. . & q lI q tt. f .I-i.

EXPECT WOMEN'S VOTE
TO BE HEAVY THIS YEAR
Experts Predict Stronger Part In
Election Than Ever Before

Women and new voters will have
a bigger part than ever in the COM
ing presidential election and cam
paign managers are beginning to
look their way and shape plans ac-
cordingly.
An army of women voters is ex-
pected far surprising the number
that went to the polls in 1920 and
1924. Another million or two at
least of new voters will help deter
mine who the next President will
be.
Simon Michelet, president of the
National Get-Out-the-Vote Club, as
tute political figurer and expert
prognosticator, declared he was cer-
tain there would be a great increase
in the number of women voting in
1928 over 1924.
Mr.. Michelet is busy now compil-
ing statistics. In 1924, he pointed
out, there were 3,762,475 new wo-
men voters over 1920, and Pennsyl-
vania, with 1000, was right at the
top of the heap. There seems little
reason to doubht that the number
will be greatly augmented this year,
as drives to get out the vote, which
in 1924 was only 5S.7 per cent of the
eligible voters, are being prepared
Political observers in Washington
see a hard task confronting Cover
nor Smith. He must wean the wo-
man voter away from Hoover if he
is to count all the eggs in his politi-
cal basket. That seems a difficult
assignment.
Predictions are openly made by
followers of both Hoover and Smith
that the personalities of the presi-
Dental candidates will be the mag
net drawing many ordinarily unwil-
ling voters to the polls.
Offsetting to a slight extent this
expected increase will be the great
number of stay-at-homes in the
South, men and women who will not
vote for Smith, principally because
of his wet views.
In the South, too, where registra-
ton laws are especially rigid, very
few women have voted in past cleo
tions. This year it is admitted,
things are different.

HEALTH BOARD
GRADUALLY CUTS
STATE DEATH RATE
Surveys Of Sanitary Conditions
Helping To Prevent Fatalities
In Delaware.
NEED CLEANUP In KENT
Places Without Community Water
Supply Found With Higher Dis
ease Record.

How the State Board of Health is
gradually cutting down the number
of deaths and illnesses that come
about through insanitary conditions
and contaminated drinking water
was commented upon by DR.. c. A.
Sargent in charge of the Kent coun-
ty health unit. DR.. Sargent and his
nurses have just completed a sani-
tary survey of the towns in Kent
county that are without municipal
water plants and where there have
been diseases that are in u majority
of cases, directly traceable to the in
sanitary conditions and impure wa
ter. In speaking of this survey DR..
Sargent said:
"In the investigation of typhoid
cases occurring throughout the
county, the insanitary conditions
found at the different homes and
farms revealed the necessity of q
further survey of the groups of pop
ulations, mostly incorporated, which
were without the fundamental sani-
tary elements of a town, namely, a
community water supply and an ade-
quate sewerage system. On the
places investigated, in tracing the
occurrence of typhoid fever, water
supplies were usually unsafe, insan-
itary conditions were found and
things in general unsatisfactory.
Several typhoid carriers were also
found.
"a total of 602 dwellings, were Wis
tied with population of 2090 of
which 1856 are white and 134 col
ored. The average is 34.5 years and
there are 1873 pre-school children in
these groups. THE colored popula-
ton of these towns is much lower
than that of the county as a whole,
as colored people comprise approx
imately One-fourth of the total pop
ulation.
"The towns surveyed are pretty
evenly distributed throughout the
whole area. AS the Typography, char
acter of soil and drainage differ for
the various sections of the county
and since these factors have some
bearing upon the sanitary condition,
it is thought advisable to insert here
data obtained from the 1918 soil sur
vey of Kent county, by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, Bureau of
Soils.
"The drainage of about three
fourths of the county is into Della
ware bay through the Smyrna river,

Duck, st. Jones and Mispillion creek
