Taking issue with some Of the
statements Of o. b. Lund. made IN
connection with his audit Of the state
highway department, J. }. Ermatin-
ger. highway department secretary,
today made pointed comment on Mr..
Lund's remarks.
Ermatinger said some of the
things Mr.. Lund condemned in his
report have been common practices
of the department for several years.
and expressed surprise that Lund
had not commented on them before.
Ermatinger's statement follows:
I'm his latest report to the board
of auditors Mr.. Lund claims that the
state highway commission is spend
ing twice as much money as it ought
for admin ative purposes. In
other words. that We are violating
the letter and spirit of Chapter Us,
Laws 1927. The present procedure
and expenditures of the department
are no different today than they
were during the last four years. If
the present practice is wrong. it is
surprising that an auditor of MIR.
Lund's presumed ability should take
four years to discover this fact. In
none of his previous reports had
he raised this question. Either he
failed to observe the condition criti-
cised, or did not deem it Of sufficient
Importance 10 mention. Perhaps he
has some Interior motive in doing so
at this time.
During previous administrations
the actual administrative expenses
of the department. in part, were
hidden among q number Of funds.
Today everything is above-board and
we are not spending any more than
in previous years and arc producing
much greater results, especially
along the line of better business pro-
cedurc. Ever since 1928 the salaries
of all division engineers were
charged directly to the various con-
struction projects under their re-
spective control. From July. 1928
to September. 1925. the salary OF
the only maintenance engineer VIC
had was charged to the highway OPP
Grating fund. Beginning with 1926
this department took full charge OF
maintaining all improved state roads

! her daughter glued to the golden curls
that had won for her the love and
the dollars Of countless millions of
people. She refused to believe that
her daughter could ever grow up.
That notion of Mrs. Pickford's was
not due to any overburdening degree
of mother-love, although there was
plenty of that in the Pickford family.
| She believed firmly that 1t was good.
sound business for Mary to remain on
| the pleasant threshold of adolescence.
At various times since her marriage
to Douglas Fairbanks Mary Pickford
has tried to escape from the state
of childhood to which her initial sue
cesses had condemned her. In THE
Love Light" Little Lord Fauntleroy."
"Rosita" and Dorothy Vernon of Had
don Hall" she attempted to be adult,
and. although she succeeded admirably
from purely artistic point of view,
she failed financially. AS each of these
pictures was released Americas Sweet
heart heard from all sides the COM
plant that she had no right to essay
grown-up roles. and the box Office re-
ports on all of them were highly dis
couraging.
So she came. perhaps regretfully to
the conclusion that mother knows best,
and returned to the truant curls, the
garterless stockings and the sexless in
rocence of the old Triangle days. Lit
tie Annie Rooney" "Sparrows" and
My Best Girl" we're all true to the
original Pickford tradition.
1 don't think there is any doubt
that Mrs Pickford, keen-visioned and
wise rs she was, realized at length
that the curls had outlived their use
fulness, and that the time he'd come
for her Mary. and ours, to fold them
tenderly between the leaves OF the
family memory book.
For while it can reasonably be said
that Mary Pickford has not grown a
d. older In the last 90 years, the
rest of the world has been less sue
cessful in retaining its youth. Those
who worsh;ped her sweet sentimental
ity In that bygone era before the war
are now old and have lost their 1llu.
sions, and the younger generation that
has appeared, miraculously. had no
illusions to begin with.
The cld-style Pickford picture has
no place in this present hard-boiled
age. The spirit of Pollyanna. lies in
an unmarked grave. somewhere IN
France.

Aside from new faces and new mate

Furthermore, 1t is now possible for
the new combination to book artists

weeks could be arranged. Many famous
stars will not contract for appearances
unless they are booked for long tour:
and before the wedding OF the circuits
il wes not always practical to award a
lengthy tour to costly attraction. Now
