CROWDED

Leon Errol, Mitzi Green and |zaSu Pitts became intimately acquainted during the filming of Finn and Hattie," the Coliseum attraction for the last time to- night, in which they are all featured.
 Sequences in the picture, filmed in a Pullman car, pro- vided quarters so narrow that they were damned together in an aisle with two cameras, two directors, ten pieces of hand luggage and a stand of Kleig lights.
 The setting was so cramped that Mitzi complained that Er- rol, taking time out to mob his forehead, wiped hers by mis- take just at the time she was having her best closeup.
 Finn and Hattie" is an adap.- tation of Donald Ogden Stew arts widely-read "Haddock' books. Norman Taurog and Nor man Mcleod directed the pie ture which includes Lilyan Fash man, Jackie Searl and Regis Toomey in it's cast.

THE SILVER LINING

Every cloud has a silver lining, accor-
ding to the old proverb. and there is CON
siderable evidence that the cloud Of depres-
sion which has hung over us during the
past three years Is no exception
One OF these evidences is that the ma
tional health has been better and the death
rate lower during these years. The first
quarter of 1882 showed the lowest death
rate yer recorded among the industrial
po~Icyholders of Americas largest life in
surance company. Especially noticeable
has been the fewer deaths from influenza,
pneumonia and diabetes. diseases which Of
ten result from too much eating and drink

But nobody is starving, although
many have been able to obtain only plain
food, and not too much of that. Health

clares hat there is much loose talk going

year the death rate In the nation $ metropo-

to So to the thousand this year

disposition toward kindness and helpful

degree of solicitude for the unfortunate.
here is less arrogance and snobbishness;
less false pride.
The depression has taught all of us
some salutary lessons. and we shall emerge
from it more thoughtful. more considerate
and more charitable than we were before.

THE FIRST HELLO GIRL

The worlds first telephone girl, who
began work IN the old Nassau exchange in
New York on September Il. 1878, lived
until a few days ago, when she passed
away at the age of IA. She was Miss Mary
Beatrice Kennedy, who was given a Job

SO courteous and efficient did Miss
Kennedy prove that girl operators became

Working hours were long in 1873 and
Miss Kennedy was on duty daily from 8 to

switchboard. Alexander Graham Bell. in

exchange, and Thomas a. Edison some
tunes accompanied him. But as Miss Ken
nedy told a reporter shortly before her
death, We didn't pay so much attention
to MIR. Edison, for he wasn't so famous
then.

championship. defeating the New York
Yankees four games to three.
In spite of this amazing record with
the cardinals he was traded off to the New
York Giants in 1927 and was shifted to
Boston in 1923 to again lead the National
batsmen that year with an average of 1897.
AT the end of the 1928 season Hornsby
was bought by the Cubs in baseball's big
gest deal, whereby Vim. Wngley gave
$4,000 and five players to obtain the Ra-
jahs services. and made him manager in
1880. In a game with Pittsburgh last year
he hit three successive home runs and a
single, good for eight %tallies.
Hornsby has gone to his home in
Robertson, Mo-. for a rest, but it is safe to
say he wont stay in retirement long. In
spite of his 80 years he is still too good to
keep down.

A TOOL OF THE CROWD

Many have enquired at the Herald Of
flce why a certain individual, formerly an
employe, has not been arrested for stealing
Herald property.
That, perhaps might be the soviet way
OF evening a score" but it is not the Her
aids method. There are so many others in
the county who would steal on a much lar
ger scale that to prosecute MIR. Olsen would
be rank discrimination. The only difference
between Mr.. Olsen and the crowd he
would serve is that he is small, petty and in
capable OF anything big, while the others
want to steal in liberal quantities.
Mr.. Olsen's chicanery did him no
good. In fact all it did was to bring him
greater disrepute, if such were possible.
The others are selfish and would graft be-
cause they consider the county fair game.
and they want the money.
The crowd who would give the print
ing contract to Doln claim that L. S. told
them one thing and, on the witness stand,
wouldn't testify to it. (Mr. Olsen was
sworn to tell the truth). MIR. Olsen claims
that the attorneys assured him he would be
paid for his time and trouble and then re-
fused to pay him.
1t was a grand little scheme that was
Matched up to take a legitimate contract

A RAILROAD

The association of Railroad Execut-
ives recently issued a statement to the pub
lie which deserves the widest possible at
tention.
1t points out that the railroads were
never better able to serve our transportation
needs than now; that their properties arc
very modestly capitalized. that they have
been subjected to increasing financial pres
sure for many years, depression or no de-
preston. Perhaps most important of all, it
points out that of the $12, 900. 600, 900 of
railroad bonds outstanding 81 300. 900. 900
are held by insurance companies and saw
ings banks and ST. ,O00, 900 by endow-
ment funds of colleges, hospitals and SINH
lar institutions. AS a consequence, every
one OF us has a stake in the railroad prob
lem.
The financial problems of the railroad
have resulted largely from our
ton policy. We nave refused to tax or reg
ulate competitors of railroads on a basis of
equality. while subjecting the railroads to
restrictive and h~ampering regulation.
Equality Of regulations for ALI. COM
mon carriers is essential to the public inter
est, which, in SO many particulars. parallels
the railroad interest.

S D FROM EDISON

When the government enters busin-
ess, it simply mixes a lot Of politics with a
little business. The late Thomas Edison
said that.
The experience Of the past few years
has demonstrated the truth of this. We
have seen government in the farming bus
mess, the printing business, the paint bus
mess and a multitude of others. We have
seen it regulate and restrict others. The re-
suit has been a tremendous extension of
the Federal bureaucracy-at the taxpayers
expense.
Keep government to the business of
governing would be a good motto.
