The East Indians Salt.

Salt is as essential to the East Indian
as water. He uses 1t both for medicinal
and preservative purposes. He needs
large quantities for his cattle, although
the crude, uncrushed salt is good enough
for animals. Long before Britain took
a hand in the government of India the
native rulers were levying tax on salt,
for it was the most obvious means OF
revenue. Since England took Central
India the salt taxes were steadily re-
duced and the amount of salt used in
creased as a consequence. Today the
tax is just half what 1t was a few years
ago. Yet so great is the quantity con-
sumed that the yearly revenue amounts
to over $4,000, 900. The supply is
ample although about half the salt
consumed in India comes from England,
Germany, Alden and other countries.
The rest is produced in the country
either by the government or by private
enterprise working under government
license

HOLLYWOOD, April 10 (N.AN.A).-
The lad who is getting the best break
In the village today is Lew Ayres, ex-
banjo player in local cafe orchestra.
When he was chosen for lead in one
Of Greta CARLOS last silent films it was
the paramount bit of luck. Since then
it has been plain sailing for the Ayres.
He slipped into the best part in "All
Quiet on the Western Front" that pic
ture which has been the ambition of
all the celluloid youths, because there
are no women to take from their glory.
And now he viii be given the fea-
tured role in new Western story which
will be an outstanding production Of
the late Spring. Ayres is a slim. dark
chap, with a likable countenance and
very direct eyes.
Lon CLANCY, busy with his first talkie
at last, pauseS long enough in produc-
ton to admit that this form of celluloid
has far more advantages than the silent
pictures he championed so faithfully
until recently.
CLANCY should know-he is making a
story he once did in silence. He is
using five voices, because he is VEN
triloquist in the tale. And when he is
not actually before the mike" himself
he is busy supervising every tiniest de-
tail of the work.
A pallid, quiet man, with rare charm,
he shakes hands briefly and says;
81 don't believe in interviews, and
hate to be asked questions"
Interviews are a bore and questions
in bad taste" said I.
And we both laughed and proceeded
to have quite nice little interview.
CLANCY tells me he practiced the VEN
triloquiSt business in his car while driv-
ing to work. He cannot practice 1t tn
the studio, because of the pressure of
time, and it is not satisfactory at home.
So if you want to be ventriloquist and
you drive your own car, go to work.
An occasional glance in the mirror
will tell you if your lips are quiet, and
when you come to a ''p' or an M just
take puff of the old cigarette to cover
the lapse.
