PICTURE ACTORS
iGHANGE VIEWS
ON TALKIES

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. /. d,N.SA-
Now that talking picture are 80.
Ing on two years old, it might be
apropos to ask what opinions the
old guard OF movie stars. as well
as the new, have formed of them.
Most of the stars were skeptical
and little worried when sound
films first came. They feared for
their thrones, most of them be-
cause they had been trained in the
movies, WITHOUT an extensive stage
background, and they were uncer'
tain about their voices and speech.
They feared the influx of stage
talent.
But after taking vocal and elocu-
tion lessons, the film profession
generally opened wide it's arms and
took in the sound picture Wifi, and
now the two appear firmly welded
and likely to live happily ever al
ter.
Welcome -Talkies
The players welcome the talkies
as an opportunity to really act, for
thew say, the silent screen DISCOUNT
ed an actors ability about so per
cent. Now they have at their COM
n1and the countless tone inflec.
tions and variations of voice ana
speech, to aid in character portray

"A complete art is possible for
Iii film artist now His opportun-
ny for creating effect is even
greater than is the stage actors S.
declared Conrad Nagel.
Talking pictures saved the screen
from a barrage of brick bats, Monte
Brice, the director, believes. Bad
stories were driving business away
from the theaters until the taikles
came to the rescue. The tremen-
dous expansion of the field for
scenarios saved the day.

fittest," commented Olive Borden

PRICES.
At LOWER
LEVEL
By w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 UN.S)-
Both the Industrial and the railroad
stocks slipped of ito a lower level
of prices at the outset today. The
downward move in the high-priced
specialties which wound up Mon
davis session swung into action.
CARRYING prices l to 3 points lower
without much signs of a rally. At
1863 radio showed a loss of points
for the day and AZ from the high
fthe move.
In an effort to frighten the bulls,
bearish traders raised the question
of the possible raising of the redts'
count rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank this week. That would put a
crimp in the unlimited supplying
of funds to the stock market. and
puncture the balloon of soaring
stock prices. a.
Studebaker carried its new advance
to SAY, and again gained the repu-
tation of being the strongest stock
on the board. The steel and copper
stocks lost ground from the start,
Anaconda rolling off nearly 8 points
at III, and L. S. Steel losing another
point at 1914.
The big bulls were ready to buy
stocks at the level of prices re-
corded at the end of the first hour.
The airplane stocks led a smart rally,
Curtiss jumping 31a points and
Wright Aero 21a. Motor stocks also
put up a still fight, and there was
very little stock for sale at the bot
tom priCes.

Dupont Circle Citizens
Favor Farmers Market

Without naming any site, the
Dupont Circle Citizens Association,
meeting in the Mayflower Hotel
yesterday afternoon, urged the es.
tablishment of a farmers retail
market in this city. The associa-

clude in the resolution a clause
opposing establishment of a whole
sale market.
A story of corrupt politics and
excessive municipal indebtedness in
Washington when it's citizens had
the right to vote was told by DR..
William Tindall, secretary of the
Board of Commissioners for many
years and now in charge of the

from the District in 1874. DR..

RULING

The ruling of Comptroller General
J. r. McCarl forbidding the Per-
sonnel Classification Board to bor-
row employees from executive de-
partments to perform clerical work,
is not serious enough to warrant
the attention of President Hoover,
Herbert D. Brown. chief OF the
Bureau of Efficiency. said today.
Brown said the board will MOI
be hampered in performing Its
duties by the ruling. Congress has
given the board authority to borrow
any employees from any executive
department who have knowledge of
classificatiO and ALLEGATION work.
Other Boards Aid
The bulk of the clerks working
for the board have been assigned
to their duties by the Bureau OF
Efficiency, the Civil Service Com.
mission and the Bureau of the
Budget. These departments were

Brown pointed out.
The ruling Of McCarl was entirely
legal and members Of the board

In the event the board finds
that 1t needs more clerical workers
than can be supplied by the Bureau

Brown said.

He declared that members Of the

there is no need Of taking up the

go SLOW" is SAFE RULE
WHERE MEN ARE WORKING

Oiling ,tarring, regraveling and var
ious other repair work and improve
ments are in progress on many routes
in the trunk highway system, accord
ing to bulletin from the State High
way department The bulletin eau
tons drivers to go carefully when
travelling on highways where work is
in progress, or there is new gravel or
oil and tar.
With the heavy and constantly
growing travel on all the state routes,
demands for repair work become more
frequent Besides the regular MAIN
tenance by the local section men,
which is in progress on all roads the
year around, the heavy traffic makes
it necessary to do extra work, such
as regraveling, reshaping, scarifying
and bituminous treatment on many
of the routes. Approximately one
third of the unpaved routes will have
special maintenance of one kind or
other this summer.
All this work will be done without
closing any of the roads, and the de-
partment tries to do the work so as
to interfere with traffic as little as
possible. Signs placed well in advance
call attention to the work. Drivers
who rush through fresh oil or tar or
new gravel without slowing up may
come to grief, but if they viii drive at
moderate speed and use reasonable
caution there should be no trouble.

TOURISTS ARRIVE
FROM MANY STATES

A short trip over any highway in
Minnesota will convince anyone that
the tourist season is at its height.
Cars from every state in the union
may be seen on every one Of the trunk
routes. All appearances indicate that
the number of visitors this summer
will be greater than ever.
Among the cars with foreign Il
cenSe plates there is considerable
percentage that ought to carry Min
nesota licenses, according to a bulle-
tin from the State Highway depart
ment. There are some residents Of
Minnesota who make practice Of
buying their licenses when visiting
other states in the winter, returning
and driving with these licenses in
Minnesota all through the summer.
Gases have also come to light where
residents of Minnesota get their L.
cense plates through friends in states
like California which have low IL
cenSe fee.
Other machines which should carry
Minnesota plates are those licensed in
other states and purchased by resi-
dents of Minnesota, and machines
owned by persons who move to Mime
sofa and take up residence here.
Visitors to Minnesota may use cars
licensed in their home state ninety
days, provided they get visitors per-
nit within ten days after entering the
state. The visitors privilege expires
if the machine is sold to- a resident
of the state or if the owner becomes
a resident Of the state.
The exemption does not extend to
trucks. All trucks entering Mime
sofa must have Minnesota licenses ex-
cept trucks from adjoining states
which carry reciprocity permit. No
interstate hauling can be done on a
reciprocity permit.
Due to the desire to show hospital
ity to visitors, state license inspectors
and law enforcement officers generally
do not attempt to check cars with
foreign licenses, or question drivers,
unless they have information that the
owner is abusing the courtesy ex-
tended to him by the state. This
policy makes it difficult tc apprehend
the tax evaders unless public spirited
citizens will give information about
cases Of this kind
, Every community in the state wants
better highways, and every car owner
who evades his license tax is delaying
needed highway improvements. Citi-
zenS who will report motor vehicle IL
cense tax evasions to the State High
way department will be helping to
hasten the highway improvements
which their community needs.
