WASHINGTON WOMAN'S TASK
Mrs. S. NJ. Parker Attends
Theaters to Find What Pa.
irons Like in Pictures.
Public Relations Director Be-
Iieves Women Determine
Success of Movie.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Finding out what the public wants
in motion pictures is the task Of Mrs
s. M. Parker, who was recently APP
pointed by one of the largest producers
as public relations director In Washing
ton, Hagerstown, Martinsburg, Frederick
and Waynesboro.
1T is the women who determine the
success of picture" said Mrs. Parker
who at least once a week attends each
of the IL theaters on her schedule for
Washington and once a month visits
those in outlying cities. when a young
man takes a girl to the movies, he says,
What picture do you want to see?'
The same is true with husbands and
wives-the wife usually decides upon
the picture to be seen. In addition,

one or one that Is cold and inhospitable.
Anything which may give greater COM
fort to the public is the thing which
Mrs. Parker endeavors to learn. Even
such small matters as whether or not

by the public relations director.
Some claim that o clock abstracts
the attention, while others contend 1t
is a great addition to the comforts Of
theater," said Mrs. Parker. my work
Is to find out es closely Is possible just
what the public wants and then re-
port what I find. After all, the public
viii get In the end what IL wants, and
It doesn't take very long for the man
ayers to flnd out what it wants"

THE Detroit Aircraft Corpora
zion reports that sales and de-
iiveries for the period from July
s to August s established a new
high mark for commercial sales
over a 3O-day period.
Gross sales of ships delivered
amounted to $171,17O, and new
orders placed totaled $140'otO'
Including only those ships on
which cash deposits have been
placed. This total has been eA-
ceeded only by military sales n

James Work, general manager

Noble experiments are proving
costly to the United States tax
payers.
Prohibition Is costing $4,000 .O0O,.
900 yearly in round numbers. It
costs $4,000 a year to maintain the
cheapest grade prohibition agent.
The Federal Farm Board, the
latest experiment, has. or rather
did have $3.50, ,0OO, 900 at its dis
posal.
The two experiments differ. In
that the Farm Board is honestly
trying to help the farmer. I
don't know what or whom prohi-
bition is trying to help.
The Farm Board has only to
contend with nature and seems
to have that on its side. Prohi-
'bition is contending with human
nature.
Nature--in the form of one of
the severest droughts in this
country'S history-has reduced by
several million dollars the Farm
Boards loss.
Bears Hammer Wheat
In an attempt to stabilize and
support the grain market. the
Farm Board bought SO ,OOO, 600
bushels of wheat. Nearly all Of
it is in storage. Most of it was
bought at $1.25 a buShel.
Knowing that this wheat would
have to come out on the market
some time, bear traders in the
grain markets have been selling
wheat. The price fell to 833s
cents a bushel. This represented
a loss of about IL cents a bushel,
or $28, 100000 on the boards
holdings.
Things looked pretty black for
the board. It stopped buying
wheat, but its 69,OO0,O 900 bushels
still hung over the market like
dark cloud.
Nature To Rescue.
Then nature came to the res
cue. Reports of withering crops
began to trickle in. The damage
| mounted. Farmers were running
short of feed for their livestock.
They had two alternatives. Pay
peak prices for corn, or feed the
hogs wheat. The hogs are get

While the drought has retarded
the recovery of business. there
certainly is no reason to hang
out the crepe, for cooler wea her

ming.
The crop damage will have
some effect on railroad earnings
and the buying power of the
farmer, but a glance at previous
droughtS presents a rather en-
couraging picture.
Droughts fit in the Act of

pie are only familiar with in

Comparable to '94 and 'O1
Back in 1894 the corn crop
failed in a year of declining, OF
falling wheat prices and busi.
ness depression. The same was
true in 1901. So these two
periods are comparable with 1890.
The farmers purchasing power
in 1894 was affected only slightly,
while in 1901 it actually increased.
The Department of Agriculture
figures show that in 1894 farm
production was cut 81 per cent
but the total value dropped only
1A per cent. In 1901 produc'
ton fell IS per cent, but the
value mounted 9 per cent.
The department points out that
in 1924 when farm produc ction
was reduced "a per cent the total
value rose 21a per cent.
