DELHI, N. Y, August 23.-Gov
Franklin d. Roosevelt in an address
here last night said the country was now
paying the penalty fer q wild spree

He referred to some people In a

the impression year ago that nothing

zone reason" the Governor said.
that the country has passed through
an economic crisis is that some people
thought they had discovered q new
law, that the old law of supply and de-
xnand could be strapped. They thought
we could 60 on speeding up production
and that we would all get richer and
richer and in a little while we would
oil become as rich as the Rockefellers
as long as we did two things, paid high
wages to every one and continued high
speed selling campaigns.
ut was said that instead of having
one car, We would have two cars in
every garage. And then, suppose
the next step would be a new car for
every one in the family, including the
baby. Now that is what I term the
theory Of lifting yourself up by the
bootstraps.
Well. we went along that way for
while, confident that our leaders in
political and business were omnisicient,
and then when production had greatly
Outr1in demand We were taught the sad
lesson In our two stock market crashes
that We. cannot get away from Old
Dame Nature; we cannot get away from
the law of supply and demand.
Now Paying Penalty.
Some people In very high position
gave the impression year ago that
nothing could happen to prosperity
that everything was well and that
prosperity could not be slowed down
And then Old Dame Nature asserted
herself. We are now paying the penalty

ton by the sweep of the camera
seems to have detracted from the
tenseness of whatever drama there
might have been, and has iiistilled
into it q rambling unspirited nature.
In spite of the fact that the pic

the barometrical pressure Of the
audiences patience, 1t is q palms.
taking effort, made interesting by
Walter Huston and o. p. Heggie.
Although the cinematic hatchet
may descend for saying such q
thing, it seems as though the latter
had run of with the honors. Heg-
gle, as the invalid old man from
Maine. whose every word Is q series
of vituperative outbursts, comes
into the film just enough to give it
the life it deserves. He is q per-
feet example of an exaggerated char
acter, at least as far as the record
goes.
walter Huston might have been
more effective, If the screen, Of late,
hadn't been cluttered with bad
men," from red-haired Frank Fay
down to debonaire Richard Arisn.
Huston smiles with the best tt

of his predecessors. but the novelty

The story of how q dark-eyed

he discovered in financial and
amatory troubles on o Western

It is q grand and glorious character
and deserving of o tear, perhaps,
when death snuffs him out ut the

get him there-and that Is the
handspring of the trouble.
Some of the others in the cast

And some are pretty awful, such as
Husband Sidney Blackmer--prob-

Common Clay"
Keeps the Fox Crowds.
CWEPT alongsfor another week by
. ~ the sohs Of its admirers and the
lengthy cues that wind and unwind
Common Clay" may be said to be
something of knockout.
To this humble observer, however.
It is actually less than that. 1t
seems middling-to-fair pot
pouri of 1900 emotions, strung
neatly together by Director Victor
Fleming. Indeed, were 1t not for
his clever manipulations Of strings,
that make scene after scene now by
without apparent vexation, this pic
ture might be only hairs breadth
above the ordinary film level.
Mr.. Fleming has been nicely
shrewd In his allotment of scenes,
IL not of players. He has carried
the rather threadbare theme through
perilous channels and hit the ham,
riler on the head with finesse and
often with brilliance. The refrain
of morality that pops up here and
there he has smothered as best he
might and sentimentalism has over
come him only when nothing else
could be substituted.
We public seems to be taking
this illustration Of mans perfidy
and woman's weakness rather seri-
ously. On all sides may be heard
the subdued chanting of vocal tears,
and when Beryl Mercer says she
isn't the girls mother after all,
pandemonium Of o salty kind seems
to be reached.
Just why Constance Bennett as
the luckless maid, dressed nicely for
a stroll down Park avenue, should
be able to provoke tears is something
of mystery. True, she Is better
than she was before, but the mo-
notony of her voice and the sterility
Of her actions seem to obscure the
real character that Fanny Ward in
her balmy days, or Jane Cowf, later
on, must have discovered.
The remainder of the cast, except
for q spicy bit of overacting by Tully
Marshall and q splendid bit by
Hale Hamilton, seems hardly salts
flying. Lewis Ayers makes an UNI
convincing juvenile father and
Beryl Mercer Is good, but not up to
her usual standard. ss
Still, the crowds persist and so
does public opinion, and the fore
going may be said. after all, to be
distinctly minority report.

DEFINES LAW ON INCOME
IN LONG TERM CONTRACTS
Architects Not Required to Report
on Basis Extending Beyond Year,
Revenue Bureau Announces.

The general counsel of the Bureau of
Internal Revenue has ruled that an
architect who was paid partly In adj
vance for services rendered under con-
tracts extending over more than one
year was not required to report his In
come on the long-term contract basis.
Under the long.term contract basis,
the taxpayer may report the gross In
come from contract In the year in
which 1t Is finally completed and ac-
cepted. One reason for that rule, the
general counsel explained, is that in the
case Of building contracts there are
changes In price. probabilities Of strike,
weather. ETC., making 1t impossible to
tell with certainty whether gain or
loss viii result until the contract Is COM
pieted. That situation does not obtain
in the case Of architects, the counsel
ruled.

believe that she isn't such bad

that the highspots Of the picture
occur when Clara is In the wings,
these spots being Mitzi Green out
doing La Bow In perfect irnita-
