MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

Special Dispatch to The star and the North
American Newspaper Alliance.
HOLLYWOOD. March IA (N.AN.A).
This morning Anna @. Missions doc
tors promised that she will be able to
take up life where she left of, year
and a half ago. when fall from horse
put her in the invalid ranks of the
colony. The news OF this beautiful
actress return has caused more rejoic-
ing in the professional group than any
that has broken of late.
The verdict follows a long wait,
fraught with nervous tension, until the
outcome of a very complicated operation
of bone grating could be observed. The
Nilsson beauty is unimpaired, it seems.
Neither pain nor disappointment has
marred the loneliness the public last
saw in Herbert Brenon's production OF
"Sorrel & Son"
Mary Lewis, many pounds thinner
and gaily reminiscent of the slender
Mary who once worked in Christie COM
edies in Hollywood when bathing suit
and fresh cocoanut cream pie made
the props" for the funnieS, is about to
begin work on her first talkie.
A lot of things have happened since
those pie-throwing days. Mary made a
debut at the Metropolitan Opera, for
OIlc IAllIlS, anu has Dccu a IleLiy ouC-
cessful opera and concert star ever
since.
She will play the part of a pretty
French peasant wench of the days of
Marie Antoinette. Mary in mob-cap
and kirtle should be delicious. Like
so many of the new pictures, this will
be done entirely in color. and the
music wisely will be chosen from lovely
old French themes which the singer
has sung successfully from the concert
stage.
One of the most interesting stories of
the week centers about two Germans
who played in Jack Blystone's Zeppelin
story, The Shy Hawk" Neither was
mentioned in the screen credits, as the
parts were not of the largest order.
But they were done so convincingly
that requests galore have come in to
me to know who they are.
The older officer is Capt. Fritz Lyons,
former German submarine lieutenant
and the only man in Hollywood to re-
ceive a direct communication from the
former Kaiser since his Imprisonment
at Doom. The Hohenzollern sent Capt.
Lyons his picture, autographed, to re-
place one which the officer had lost in
2 fire, in which many of his priced be-
longings had been destroyed. Capt.
hyOIlS HlcuJtOLlcu LIc IdCJ 10 Ills du~
miral in note, and 1t was forwarded
TO the former Kaiser, who promptly re-
placed the picture, with a gracious little
note accompanying 1t.
A strange freak of fate links the
younger off1cer, Hans Feuerberg, with
the exiled Kaiser also. Feuerberg was
a cadet on the former Kaiser's staff-a
little blond youth, who carried messages
back and forth between the imperial
headquarters and the chief of staff He
was the last person to whom the former
Kaiser spoke when leaving for Doom.
"Auf wiedersehen. Hans" and he
dropped his hand for a moment on the
little blond head.
Hollywood is a strange and c1lorful
place. Some of the most interesting
people in the world are hidden among
the thousands of bit players and extra
talent in the hills of studioland.

JAPANESE EXPLOIT
CHINESE ISLANDS
Rich Fertilizer Deposits, Long I'm
worked, Yield Phosphates
to Japan's Leaders.

HONGKONG [PD.-The Chinese have
just begun to comprehend that Japa-
nese interests have stolen a march on
them by exploiting rich phosphate de-
posts on the Paracels, a group of reefs
and islets in the Chinese Sea ITO miles
southwest of this port.
The group belongs to China. but it
is far out of the regular track of ships
and has been used hitherto only as a
source of supply for the bird nests that
go into Chinese soup and as a base for
small scale fishing. The islets are bar
rem and waterlesS.
But they have for ages been the
sanctuary of millions of sea birds, and
through the years there has grown upon
them thick deposits of phosphates.
Some say these beds are rich enough
to pay off the Chinese national debt.
At any rate, this country has sud-
denly learned that the japanese have
forestalled China again. 1t is report
ed that settlement has sprung up
with water tanks and trolley rails run
ming to the water front, where one or
two biggish steamers are always load
ing at crude wharveS and warehouses.
Just how many hundred thousand
tons Of the phosphates have already
gone to the land of the cherry blossom
only the Japanese themselves know.

BY BERTRAM BENEDICT.

Do you ever wonder what proportion
of our city's running expenses is borne
by each separte item of the city's adj
ministration? In other words, how
many cents of each dollar you pay in
taxes goes to what source of the city's
business? This article will tell you.
Official figures have recently been
published showing how each of the $50
largest cities of the United States spends
its budget. The figures apply to the
year 1927. The figures for last year
have not been collected yet and those
for 1928 do not apply to all cities, so
that they could not be comparative.
However, the proportion of a city's
outlay among its different expenses sell
dom varied much from year to year, al
though the amounts may. You can
accordingly study these figures for 1927
in the confidence that their proportions
will not be very different, comparing
one city with another, from those of
the presetn year.
Nearly One-third Goes to Public Schools.
Let us take every dollar spent by the
City Of Washington for operating and
maintaining its geenral departments
and divide it into 100 cents. Thirty
one and a half of these 100 cents must

in the group of cities with over 100000

group. Their average expenditure on
public schools is 81 cents out of every
dollar. Hence Washington spends a

Then 8 Cents Goes for Streets.
After the public schools have been
looked after. the city's streets clamor
for attention. Out of every dollar spent
by Washington for operating and main
tanning its general departments, 8 cents
goes to highway operation and mainte-
nance. In the $50 largest cities of the
United States, the average is cents.
In the group of IA cities of over 500, 900
inhabitants, the average is cents. In
other words, Washington spends the
same proportion of its outlay upon
more than most other cities of about
the same size.
AS compared with cents out Of
every dollar for streets in Washington,
Baltimore spent IL cents; Wilmington, z

Miriam and drew her to him.
Mice and coy out here. Like
the country, Miriam?"
II think so, Timmy-some-
times" Miriam squirmed uneasily.
"Say, what are you so f1dgety
about?" Jimmy asked. Didn't you
ever park with a fellow before?"
Miriam decided that the safer
course was to tell the truth, though
she was tempted to claim a long
and profitable experience.
1--WE never even been out with a
boy before, Jimmy" she confessed.
"And you've never been kissed by
a fellow either?"
"a boy kissed me once at birth
day party when we were playing
postoff1ce, and slapped his face"
you must of been little kid
then" said the sophisticated Jimmy.
would you slap my face if kissed
you now, Miriam?" .-.-.-.-....-....
"Timmy!-Aren't you ashamed OF
yourSelf!" She scrubbed a cheek
with the back of her hand. Maybe
you think that's funny, but I don't,
and don't you do it again!"
Gee willikens! What are you
getting sore about? just kissed
you on the cheek. That's nothing.
A kiss is just half kiss unless it's
on the lips"
"Is that right! And what's the
difference whether it's on the cheek
or on the lips, I'd like to know. A
kiss is a kiss"
That's where you're wrong, Mir
lam. You'd know better than that
if you'd ever been kissed right just
once. Don't ask me why because I
don't know the answer, but I know
| it's so and that's enough for me.
AS for me, personally, I'd rather
kiss my landlady smack on the lips
than to peck Bebe Daniels on the
cheek all winter. Oh yes, Miriam,
there's difference"
well, I don't care" Merriam said
saucily. You ought not to kiss a
girl at all without asking her per-
mission. You ought to know
Jimmy! Stop it! Stop it, Timmy!"
"How was that, Miriam? Any
better? If you wouldn't struggle SO,
I might be able to give you real
kiss, but with your fingers gouging
my eyes out, my styles badly
cramped."
"If you do that again, Jimmy
Fitzmoan, I'll get right out of this
car and walk home. Who do you
think you've got in this car, any
way? I'll have you know I'm a lady
whether 1 look it or mott" -.
"Can you imagine it?" Jimmy
asked in great surprise. Getting
sore just because made out like
1 was going to kiss her. Why, Mir
lam, when really mean to kiss a
girl, I don't play around like that.
I settle down to business"
MIRIAM drew herself up. well,
lV1 you'd better not settle down
to business with me, or you'll be
sorry for 1t. I never saw anybody
behave so in my life. I didn't think
you'd pull any cave man stuff like
that with me or I wouldn't of come
out here. The idea of kissing me
twice when you knew I wouldn't like
it."
