The Auditor Business

The cost Of auditing accounts has been recognized
for years as a necessary item in operating any bust
ness: and in the last decade we have realized audits
are necessary in our local and state government. The
state Of Texas is having its first official audit msde.
The man in charge, Moore Lynn, is hewing to the
line. Where he finds errors he points them ont
His work has been under barrage of criticism. first
by this offended party and next by another. It's a
case Of whose toes get stepped on.
II Is to be hoped that IA i-lt ard his de77rt-
ment will soon bring all accounts up to date. When
this is done. when errors are cured. then his work
Will be of another sort. Instead Of prying through
records of the last five years. his department will be
ready to give its attention TO current records and
prevention of errors.
The latest announcement from Mr.. Lynn's office
concerned a regretable disorder in the accounts Of
the Confederate home. Of which A. W. Taber is SUI
perintendent. The disorder concerns a relatively
small sum, and all evidence points that 1t resulted
from inadequate record-keeping. AS Mr.. Taber de-
clared for himself as he offered his resignation to
the board Of control. we have supreme confidence
that every act (of nine) has been honest and in the
best interest Of the Institution and It's inmates"
Now is the time to repair the accounting system at
the Confederate home; now the auditor may check
its records monthly and help correct errors as they
occur-not report them at the end Of a ~five-year
period.

Why doesn't someone do anything

II is said that the way OF a
tr-ansgressor is hard. but the way OF
a newspaper reporter when there is
no news is terrible. IN comparison,
the transgressor Is sitting pretty.
Everything is cake and ice cream.
If a reporter doesn't bring in the
news. it's Just like coming home
without the bacon.
And here's what happens:
Editor: Well. what's new today?
What have you got?
Reporter: Not a thing. Everything
is dead around town.

Reporter: Yep. no news.

In years gone by. II vas known
that football was being played IN
the south. bu. eastern critics
thought little Of Il. Football was
beng played on back lots in the
east and those who knew football
thought that back-lot football and
southern football we're about the

And then a big eastern team sche-

went home much wiser.
This has continued. and team

The Once Over
ELMER TwITCHELL SHEDS A TEAR FOR
AMERICA.
BY r. I. PHILLIPS

Well" said Elmer Twitchell Il have been talking
to the pessimists. and its all clear to me why me
stock market Is having so many sinking spells.
America is finished as a great country. There will
never be any business in it to speak CT again.
The chief thing that's hanging over the stock
market just now. though. Is President Hooveris dis
appearance. Didn't you know President Hoover had
disappeared? Yes. sir! He decided there was no use
wasting time as head Of a country that had no fu-
ture. SO he packed up and dropped out Of sight. No
body knows where he is. Andrew Mellon. Secretary
Of the Treasury. has vanished too. The minis been
closed for months and. while its being kept from
the public. the White House was destroyed by a Red
mob away back IN June.
And another thing: there's really no such thing
any more as the Stock Exchange. 1t was sold for
debts more than a month ago. and all the quotations
the papers print every night are just drawn out Of a
hat. Henry Fords moved most Of his plants TO Eu-
rope. General Motors has ceased making cars and Is
converting its plants into indoor Tom Thumb golf
courses. and the United States Steel Corporation has
been getting succor from charity for six months.
Only a few American railroads are running. A
lot Of people think they see many trains a day pass
through the town. but it's really one and the same
Tram. Inc company keeps IL running pack ana lO-ll
to keep the public from suspecting anything's wrong.
The Standard Oil Company hasn't operated since
last October and John D. Rockefeller is selling apples
at Fifty ninth street and Broadway. He's ~incognito,
but 1t will al leak out in due time.
The General Electric plants have seen the use
lessness OF going ahead making electrical supplies.
Sensing that the American public is tired Of comforts
and luxuries, the company has decided to remodel its
factories to make ~high-wheeled bicycles. kerosene
lamps and old-fashioned washtubs.
All the big telephone. telegraph and radio COM
panies have practically shut UP shop. as it's been dis
covered that the average American is determined 70
60 back TO the age Of communication by smoke sig

Yes, sir" concluded Elmer sadly, as he wiped
away the tears, America is sunk. She'll never be
any good again. She's finished, ruined. dead. And
it seems a shame. She was so young and pretty"

JOAN BENNETT and now it is a
corking screen story.
AS perhaps you know, "Moby
Dick" in the Earle Theater fea-
ture, Is a monster white whale.
He provides most Of the thrills
as he cavorts in mid-ocean and,
with a flip Of his tail, upsets a
boat-load of rugged seamen and
takes one of Ahab's legs as for
felt. "Moby Dick" is a whale OF
an actor, unless, perchance. he is
the nature-faking relative of Tn
gagi," and, even then, you will
thrill to the scenes which he
dominates.
The story tells of the romance
between Faith, the gentle daugh-
ter of a New England minister and
Ahab. one of the most daring Of
the venturesone whalers. When
he is permanently crippled in a
sea battle with his ancient enemy,
Ahab Is led to believe that Faith
is willing to marry him out of
pity. So he ships again for an
other three-year cruise and hunts
for the murderous Moby Dick. He
catches up with his quarry and
harpoons him for the count in an
exciting ocean scrap. Before that
are some moments with a mutin-
Gus cut-throat crew on a storm
tossed craft that are vivid enough
to make you seasick. In the end
Faith is waiting for her peg-leg
hero as the Shanghai Lady pulls
into port.
John Barrymore plays Ahab
with a great gusto and a fine en-
thusiasm for it's comedy values.
The grewsome amputation Incl
dent has been retained and Barry
more adds to it's borrow by some
agonizing expressions Of pain as
the hot poker sears his flesh. What
you might call sizzling reality.
The pretty Joan Bennett has
the role of Faith (played in the
silent version by Dolores Costello)
and adds chiefly to the pictorial
quality of the feature. Lloyd
Hughes, Walter Long, Tom
O'Brien and Nobel johnson play
other important roles well and
excellent care has been taken in
picking water front types. Lloyd
Bacon's direction Is smooth.
On the supplementary program
is collegiate nonsense in a funny
two reeler, The Freshmen s
Goat" a newsreel and the usual
Daniel BreeSkin overture.
