the purpose of defraying current ex-
penSeS.
Having already been informed that
the old Board of Supervisors left an
insufficient sum of money in the county
treasury to carry the new board through
to June Is, Reid had recently offered
an amendment to a bill affecting only
Franklin County, by which it was hoped
to give Arlington County the right to
borrow funds after January IS of each
year.
Reid stated last night, however. that
the county could not wait for this bill
to pass through the regular legislative
procedure, so he will attempt to amend
local bill which has reached the House
calendar from the Senate and will,
therefore, be more likely to rate imme-
diate consideration.
This bill was introduced by Senator
Lloyd M. Robinette OF Lee County and
has already passed the Senate 1t
would permit the immediate borrowing
of money in one of Senator Robinette's
counties, so Reid will first seek to have
it amended to include Arlington County
and will then ask that the rules be
suspended, the constitutional reading
dispensed with and the bill put on i'm
mediate passage.
Plans Passage Today.
If this is successful, he said. he will
then take the bill to the Senate and
request that like procedure be followed
there with respect to the amendment.
BY this action, he hopes to have the
bill before Gov. Pollard for his sigma
ture by tonight.
Reid's chances of accomplishing his
program are enhanced by the fact that
the House started today to meet at 10
o'clock instead of noon, while the Sem
ate continues to meet at noon. The
difference in the time, he thinks, will
permit him to have the matter disposed
of in the House before the Senate con-
venes.
The Arlington County delegate was
informed, he said, that Arlington
County has no more than enough funds
to operate for a week and that unless
some relief is provided there will be TO
money for pay rolls or any other ex-
penses.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May II.
While other Hollywood companies
talk of bullfight pictures, Uni
verSal this week has dispatched
a man to Spain to photograph
the biggest fights of the season
there.
He is Tom Fitzpatrick, former
resident of Mexico and the author
Of Men Without Fear" which
will be the US contribution to the
threatened cycle of bull-ring melo-
dramas.
Playing the hero Of the film, a
matador, will be Lew AyreS, faV-
ored actor of the Carl Laemmle
organization. Before this, how
ever, he may do the air-mail
story, while there is still Laugh
ing Boy" to be disposed Of.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick will not be back
before July. He has to make
scenes in Madrid and then in
Seville. Porpose of the story, he
says, is to show that bullfighting
is not a form of slaughter but
dar rgerous sport in which the
man takes terrific chances. I'm
the real thing, he says, "a mat

Down With Smut

Terry Turner forwards word
that H. B. Franklin, newly
elected president of the RKO
Theater chain read the riot act
at a meeting of managers about
suppreSsing smut on the vaude-
vile stage. Among other things
Mr.. Franklin said:
"a real artist never depends
upon crude, uncOuth humOr.
It's use is a reflection against
the artist as well as the
theater. 1t is a short cut to an
illegitimate laugh. We are not
running burlesque and have no
desire to do So"
"YOu have full authority to
delete any line Of spoken
dialogue on stage or screen, or
any portion of stage business
that you feel will be offensive
to our patrons. We do not
want to go to extremes, nor do
we want to assume the role of
refOrmerS or prudeS. HumOr
may be broad, but we must
stamp out filth"
That's a plain statement of
fact and if the manager of the
R-K-O-Palace on Broadway inter
pretS it literally is an ultimatum
that will help clean UP the Wash

USE OLD METHODS

Some interesting data about the
equipment of our Sussex county
farms is given in the last U. S. cen
sus. II is rather hard to believe but
almost every farm in the county has
one automobile. Sussex county has
1894 farms and 4555 of them, or 81
per cent, reported cars on the farm.
There are 1248 motor trucks on
these farms, 5G3 gas engines, $50
have tractors, 205 were equipped
with electric motors and 977 or 10
per cent had telephones.
Now let us see what the reports
show about equipment in the house.
Equipment that would lessen the
work of the women and make their
tasks lighter is sadly lacking. Only
493 of our 1894 farms or 8 per cent
reported water in the house and a
less amount. 341 stated they had
running water in the bath room,
however. 725 OF IA per cent of the
farms have electric lights.

not only hard and exhausting, it is
continuous and practically unvary-
