 Here he falls desperately in love with the beautiful society editor Of the paper, only to discover eventu- lally that the publisher is infatua- ted with her. This discovery leads to tragedy which has a devaStat- ing effect on all the principal characters of the story, and from this point the theme becomes one of most absorbing interest.
 Ayers, who is starred in the production, has youth, good looks and ability as an actor
 His supporting cast, which is ex- cellent, is headed by Genevieve Tobin, a recent recruit from the New York stage, and an actress of beauty and ability. Others who do good work in the picture are Purnell Pratt, Richard Tucker, Frank McHugh and Frederic Burt.

 HOLLYWOOD, Cal.-Even though 1881 will go down in screen history as triumph for the character actor, many young players have crashed the gates of Hollywood.
 Significantly, fewer have risen from the ranks of the extras, and more have come from the stage. Madge Evans, born in New sYork, trained as a child star in motion pictures but later turning to the stage; John Arledge. Crockett, Texas, boy, who was hired by Fox filmed in a studio.

Seeks to Curb Campaign Expenditures-lntro-
 duces Measure

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 12.- Young Senator Nye of North Da- kota apparently has made up his mind that something constructive shall result from the long months of labor of his campaign fund in- vestigating committee.
 It has not been an altogether pleasant road the Senator has tra- veled since he took the chairman ship of the committee months ago Several things have come up which doubtless caused him to grind his teeth in vexation.
 There was, for example, the set to he had with Ruth Hanna Mo Cormick of Illinois when she att tempted to get seat in the Sen ate.
 And when his ancient foe, Moses of New Hampshire, succeeded in getting the Nye expense account inserted in the Congressional Rec ord last session, he really did "see red.' Resentment born in the Wye heart by that action still rankles.

Commissioner Of Motor Vehicles for Vermont.
MONTPELIER, VT, July 2s.--The
State Of Vermont is credited with hay-
t1z the lowest per capita motor vehicle
death rate Of any State In the country.
in statistics recently issued by the Ma
tional Safety Council.
During the first four months OF 1882
Vermont had total Of z motor vehicle
fatalities, compared to IL fatalities In
the first months Of 1881. Not only
was the nl<nber Of fatalities lowered,
but the tocsi of accidents involving per-
scnal injury and property damage were
correspondingly lower.
Lists Three Reasons.
In answer to the inquiry, why have
there been fewer accidents in Vermont
this yeaJ?" would advance three rea-
sons.
In IT,! first place there Is slightly
less traffic on the highways this year,
the reduction being due most OF all to
the fewer nonresident cars on Vermont
highways
In the second place, study Of acci-
dent reports and daily reports received
from department enforcement officers
indicates that motorists are driving
with more care than in previous years.
There are fewer reports Of cutting in on
traffic, of passing other cars on the
brcws Of hills and on curves, and q
noticeable reduction In accidents caused
by defective equipment.
This has been brought about by fire.
ouent inspection Of motor vehicles con-
Quoted by department officers. The
motor vehicle inspectors report that
V1onf0YiCtS driving at a nigh
rate of speed, but they seem to show
better Judgment than formerly In the
selection Of the locality where high
speed can safely be maintained.
In past trears many accidents have
been caused by overcrowding the front
seat or driving compartment. In an ef-
fort to reducy accidents during the past
years. short suspension Of license has
been issued against any operator who is
found guilty of this infraction Of the
Vermont law.
Overcrowding Reduced.
The result If these suspensions has
been a noticeable reduction In the prac-
tice of overcrording.
The third fsstor in vermont's record
lies in the fact that, for the first time,
meter patrol ,rficers we're on duty
throughout the Winter and Spring
months
When slippery ice conditions were OBJ
served on hills and curves the in
spectors Immediately notified the High
way Department patrolmen, with the
result that said was soon applied.
Many times the inspectors gave tenn
porary relief by personally applying
small quantities of sand and also erect
ing signs warning Of dangerous condi-
tions
Considerable time was used In warn
ing car operators of the surface condi-
tiorA of roads and this practice was fol-
lowed throughout the Spring, and IS
followed at the present time.

record throughout the year. Com
parative figures to July Is are as fol-
lows. 1881. 1882.

to get in plenty of flying time without

An enthusiastic aviator, Mr.. Brown
owns a three-place open-cockpit plane.
When he was through flying for the
day, he brought his ship down at a
local field, which is about 10 miles
from his home. Then he'd drive home
in an automobile.
But that was too slow, and today he
also owns tiny 450-pound ship which
he can set down in a small field at
the rear Of his residence. Thus he
gets in some extra flying and Mrs.
Brown doesn't have to keep the meals

Socialist Nominee Adds

BIZ United Press
MINNEAPOLIS, oct. Nor
man Thomas, Socialist candidate
for President, had this to say in a
speech here about his opponents,
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Presi-
dent Hoover:
I called Governor Roosevelt a
fanatic some time ago. Now what
ever I called him would be pre-
faced with the adjective synthetic
He is a terrible statesman, but a
good politician.
The depression is unjustly being
laid to President Hoover. That's
giving him too much credit. He
isn't big enough to cause such a
crisis.
He recently declared a morato-
rum on repayment OF seed loans
That was o. X, but it begins to look
like he will declare moratoriums
on ever increasing loans until after
election"
Thomas spoke before audiences
Of labor organizers, university stu
dents and party adherents. He
stressed the Socialist agricultural
program
Thomas said RooSevelt's leader
ship, if he is elected, will be that
OF a 'Weathervane"
OF the Socialist agriculture pro-
gram Thomas said:
THE fundamental concept of this
program is that the farmer can
look for no panacea until a new
social and economic order is estab-
lished"
Thomas criticised the nomination
Of John B. Chapple as Wisconsin
senator.
That progressive state sank to
a new low level when it elected

like John Chapple."
