SECRET SIX" GANG
PICTURE. HAS BERRY
IN DRESS CLOTHES

Actors appear in roles far diff
ferent from the characterizations
IN which people know them best
IN "The Secret Six," Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer's drama of municipal
politics and the underworld which
will come Sunday to the Iris thea
ter.
For instance who would imagine
Wallace Beery, best known in
garb such as he wore in "The Bib
House" and Min and Bill" ap-
pearing in faultless evening cloth
es as the most fastidious of fas-
tidious dressers? But he does
and wears them as to the manner
bornl
Then again, the usually debon-
air Lewis Stone forsakes the tail
ored garments that have made
him one of the best dressed men
on the screen, and appears as a
broken down lawyer, with a three
days growth of beard, ragged and
unkempt, and apparently on the
verge of acute alcoholism-a clev-
er piece of acting, considering that
he is a teetotaler.
Paul Hurst, the comedian, fair
ly oozes menace as the villainous
Gouger, and Fletcher Norton, we'll
known on the stage as a dancer,
appears as eringing menial of
a gangster chief.
George Hill directed the new
picture, a graphic expose of pol
itical secrets and Vaccinations in
big cities, and of the operations
of the underworld. A notable cast
includes John Mack Brown, Jean
Harlow, Marjorie, Rambeau, Clark
Gable, Ralph Bellamy, John Mil
jan and Levitt Jennings.

National Affairs
By FRANK p. LITSCHERT

The great common people have
short memories, SO the politicians
tell US, but it is a fact that their
memories are not any shorter than
those of politicians, if as short.
For example: we are hearing a
great deal of noise from free trad
ers and internationalists-the two
terms are of course almost synon-
ymous-to the effect that the de-
preston was caused by our high
tariff. Yet, as every one knows,
our present tariff law was not en-
acted until months after the crash
in the stock market and the set
tin in of the depression in virulent
form. And as to the tariff which
preceded the present one it is to
be remembered that under it we
enjoyed the greatest period of
prosperity ever experienced by
this or any other nation.

Changing Color of Gold

The color of gold can be changed
by alloying 1t with various other
metals. The old method was to al
10y 1t with about five times as
much silver, but as such articles
readily furnished. new process
was introduced which does away
with the use of silver. Certain
base metals are added to give the
white appearance. the amount of
gold and of alloy being the same
as in the case of ordinary gold of
various carats.

More People, Speedier Money

The more densely populated a
locality the more rapid will be the
velocity Of circulation, because
there will be reader access to peo-
pie from whom money is received
or to whom it is paid. A lady who
has city house and a country
house states that in the country
she keeps her money in her purse
for weeks, whereas in the city she
keeps it but a few days.

acknowledgement. each nobleman re-

Since the depression is world
wide, coming with a deflation of
the boom which followed the end
ing of the World War, it is evident
that it cannot be cured by the tar
iff any more than that it was
caused by the tariff. And yet
there can be little doubt that the
new tariff schedules have helped
some, even though in most instan-
ces they are not yet high enough
to equalize the cost of production
at home and abroad. Two indus
tries which begin to show signs
of coming out of the slump at this
time are the textile and the shoe
industries, and these are two
which, it was expected, the new
tariff rates would help.

TALKING OF ADVERTISING

With apologies for boosting it's stock-in-trade, a newspaper yet may point out that advertising has play ed an essential role in the economic progress of America.
 Our machines have been built, their production doubled and tre- bled because there was an American public ready to buy the goods they could produce.
 Now, willingness to buy is not altogether a matter of ability to buy, as we are seeing in the midst of the present depression there is included also the feeling on the part of the buyer that he is entitled to the things offered for sale, that he is not aspiring too high in the world, not being unreasonable in his requirements.
 Americans have been brought to want good automobiles, more anl better bathtubs, radios, refrigerators, better clothing, better house furnish ings and better homes. And they have been brought to believe that it is proper for them to have these things; that they are not wasting their money in getting them.
 This belief has made possible the huge development of American in- dustry and the huge increase ot wealth in this country, making tho average American, with his ever increasing purchases, better off than if he had saved his money and thereby forestalled the develop ment.
 That belief has been generated largely by advertising. It could not have persisted if it had been un- sound, but being sound, advertising has implanted it and fostered it, and helped the nation to reap the benefits
 Advertising, such as no other na- ton has known, has held constantly before the eyes of American readers, the IIIusrrat1ons or good cars and good clothing and good homes, and the hundreds of things associated with them, and advertising has in- Sevitably made the reader believe that he is entitled to these things.
 The movie has helped, but news paper and magazine advertising has done most Of the work. Without them we all undoubtedly would be living on a much lower plane, ma terially speaking, and would have less wealth than we now have to show for our abnegation.
 We may be sure, in the future as in the past, advertising will break the way for the ever advancing scale of American living Houston (Texas) Chronicle.

ACHIEVEMENT

Sixty years ago a young telegraph operator named Thomas A. Edison invented a method Of sending mes sages in both directions at once on a telegraph wire It was the most marvellous human invention up to that time. The young man got $10O,000 for his patent. which was a fortune in those days
 He began experimenting with oth- CT electrical inventions, and before the Centennial of 1876 his name was a household word all over the world He invented, among other things, the waxed paper in which the package groceries we buy are wrapped. He invented the mimeo- graph, the first successful duplieat- ing process. Sholes, first inventor of the typewriter, came to Edison with his crude model and Edison taught him how to make it work. Professor Bell had the idea of talk ing over wire; Edison's invention of the carbon transmitter made the telephone success. pr. Brush in- vented the electric light; Edison conceived the idea of putting elec- tric lights in small units into bot ties, and invented the incandescent lamp. In the course of his telephone experiments he invented the phono- graph. A little later he invented the movies. In between he invent ed new and economical methods of producing cement and developed the electric storage battery.
 It is not toe much to say of Edison that his inventions revolutionized the world. They have changed our manner of living, our habits of thought, our whole scheme of things within one mans lifetime. His active brain never stops working.
 His serious illness at S4 has again focused the eyes of the world upon him. While he has earned a rest, he wishes to recover his health in crder to keep on working. The world can not afford to lose Thomas A. Edison.

SEVENTY BILLIONS

According to the United States Census Bureau the value Of manu- factured products originating in the United States in 1929 was in round numbers seventy billion dol lars. The sum is one which al most staggers the imagination, and the figure was arrived at from the selling value of the products of the factory.
 In the time of depression, when the pessimists tell us that every thing is going to the dogs and we will never see the sunlight of pros perity again, there is food for thought in these figures. Surely the nation which could produce so great an amount of manufactured goods for the dogs TfHe9 fH9 same raw Seaaaa ma terials, the same plants, and the same market, are here that were present in 1929.
 Recovery is bound to come in due course of time, and when it does come, the christening experiences of the past year or so will have taught Us how better to guard our pros perity and what to do with our money.-EX.

THE DOLE MENACE

The National administration, through relief agencies set up by President Hoover, will, by the end of this month, have an accurate line on the unemployment situation and will have the machinery ready to prevent undue suffering through unempIoyment during the coming winter.
 It is now expected that all sorts of bills, providing for the dole in various disguised forms, will be brought forward at the next session of Congress in an effort to shift the responsibility oI caring for the un- fortunate, from the local cCmmu- nitles to the federal government. It is this dole danger which the Pres ldent is determined to check if it is at all possible.
 The experiences of Germany and Great Britain with the dole ought to be enough proof for anyone as to what might happen ii the lnstl- tuition became a part o1 American life.
 buRll6uulCA of a man living on the dole at Lam cashire. Speaking to a friend in the tavern this man declared: Yes terday l got an offer of a job at twelve and sixpence, but l get twelve and tuppence on the dole and I figured I'd rather stay just where 1 am and keep my independ- ence.''
 In a survey conducted by the Daily Mail it was discovered that large numbers of British girls are getting married while their hus| bands to-be are on the dole. This means that a large part of the pop ulation has come to-accept the dole as a permanent mode of living.
 This is a serious state of affairs. The dole system has been bitter experience for both Germany and Great Britain. It is to be hoped that the United States may not have to adopt any form of the dole to keep it's people from starving this winter, but if it becomes necessary great care should be talk en to see that it is not a flat dole. Those receiving aid should be made to work for it on existing jobs or on those created. The system start wiui vaSffous Riihtd5" Of !" ggofefnmifefht fffffii efht unemployment insurance. But year by year demands on the federal treasury continued until now both countries face dire economic troubles and any lessening of the dole bur den seems impossible without serious conflict.

TARIFF TALK

While complaints are being made against the present tariff as ex- cessively high, sugar pulp feed from Germany is being sold in Florida at from $5 to $7 per ten cheaper than it can be bought for in any American sugar beet center, while bran from the Argentine is being sold to dairymen at from $2 to $4 less than the American price. at the same time, milk, poultry and eggs are being sold at Tampa at a much higher price than the same products bring in the Middle West. Heavy importations of corn from the Argentine and Africa to both Gulf ports and the Atlantic sea- board have served to reduce the price of American corn. It would seem that American farmers are not overprotected, and that the demand that their market be still further curtailed by an even lower tariff is not justified.
