BIG MEN NOT WANTED

It may sound cynical but it is fact that the real ly capable of the country becoming extremely shy of politics and political jobs Whenever who has made success in life is proposed as candidate for either election appointment he is immediately bounced upon by the demagogues and bounded with out mercy.
 Big men don't want them because they do not wish to take chance Senate insult. If the candidate drove oil truck was book-keeper in Mor- is wrong, somewhere If he is rich, he robbed some widow or bank If he has done nothing of special note he's rank failure but, probably, may be admitted into political circles like long lost brother.
 While the above may be somewhat tinged with sar- casm and alleged humor nevertheless yet, literally speaking, 1t is true.
 In recent years, with some exceptions of course. 1t does not appear that there as many able as of yore in the United States Senate Of late have noticed number of mediocre men, who delight in att tacking their able felowcitizens who happen to be proposed for high appointive office Thus demago- query has supplanted democracy in the U s.

Save

Sad reminders of a more liberal
age are the thousands of odd
shaped liquor bottles gathering
dust on the shelves of studio
prop rooms.
At R-K-O alone. more than
1900 lie awaiting the call OF
the director. Beautifully cracked
decanters from Italy, earthenware
jugs from Holland, cut-glaSs bot
ties from France and the original
bootleg" half pintS from the
civil war days, they all suffer
the same fate-the sophisticates
and the lowbrows of the pre-pro-
hlbition era are Shelved with
democratic unconcern.
But if it were different! Imag-
inc these in your cellar: Ng Ka
Py's from TientSin, China; Tapo
Chianti from old California; La
Gitanos, from the rum distilleries

the West Indies; Goenaga Sau-
ternes from Bordeaux; Pilsener

from Berlin; Pietro De-Vecchis,
from Milan; Dawson's Scotch,
from Glasgow. and the well-re-
membered Haig and Haig.
Poor soldiers from many heated
battles. To think they must lie
there in the graveyard of pro-
hibition. restlesSly awaiting res

And in the meanwhile, they
run the risk of falling to an even
lower estate The movies have
their moral obligation. And soon

More Mystery Dramas

The mystery melodramas which
come think will be the successors
to the gangster films are getting
under way at several of the
studios. Paramount will start to
work soon upon Through the
Window" the story they pur-
chased from Martin Flavin, and
Joe Sherman. Instead of George
Bancroft, who was originally an
nounced, the picture is to have
William Boyd. Shooting probably
will start after he completes an
engagement with Chester Morris

Kindness Comes Home

From Leonard Scriven in Paw
tucket, R. l., comes a letter that
ought to have general interest.
II always like to read your
column" writes Mr.. Server,
respectfully when it contains some
thing about Give Brook. I'll tell
you why.
Zone day during the war, in
which I served as a private,
was standing in front of a thea
ter in London wondering if 1
could afford a seat in the gallery
when an English officer tapped
me on the arm. He wrote on a
pad that he had lost his voice,
and asked me if I wanted to see
the show. Then he took me to
the box-office and bought the
best seats in the theater.
THE officer was Give Brook.
l never saw him again, but al
ways have remembered his kind
ness. and feel so glad he has re-
covered from shell-shock, and has
made such a success"

are undoubtedly behind their European
contemporaries in point Of time. But
the reason, as well as the cure, lies
elsewhere
Too much precious time is lost. wasted
and squanderei in the grade schools of
America in experimenting with new sys-
TENS of instruction, in tinkering with
the curriculum and in endless adding
with bizarre devices to temper the stern
dicip!ine of reading, writing and arith-
metic. The same holds true. in its own
degree, Ter secondary Ecfoo.s. The az,
then. should BE- laid to the roots. The
earlier years must first be clearej Of the
tangled underground Of higgledy-pig
gledy pedagogy now existing there.
Worthwhile students will then be fitted
for college, and university work They
will have less o-nc mentation, If you like,
but a surer and more solid groundwork
They will have fairer chance to qualify
for the leadership which universities owe
to the community.
