Salaries of Movie Stars

Marlen Pew. editor of Editor ana

and while he was there he inquired
into the salaries of movie stars.
".The stories told about Hollywood
salaries particularly in the 55 fan
magazines" he writes, "are usually
high, wide, and handsome

star Of unusual and spot brilliance will
be able to put over fancy deal, but in
general the motion picture operator

most artists, five years being about

FURTHER GERMAN SUCCESSES
On March %, 1918, the great Ger

front.
German bulletins on the battle said
that their troops were on schedule in

The Fifth British Army, under
General Cough, was in full retreat
and was almost demoralized, the Ger
man reports said. The group in
question was composed Of 200 1000 vet
eran troops.
Admitting that the fate Of the war
hung in the balance, French divisions
were hastily rushed into the breach
made between the British and French
lines and succeeded in stopping, for
the time, the German assaults. In
this phase of the action, 10000 French
troops were opposed by nearly 10000
Germans.

New York, March 23.-Shipwreck
Kelly, a gent identified with flagpole

Of a summer amusement park in the

not content merely to draw the cur

scheme to leash in on the show.
Some bright young man came
through with scheme. They would
build a stairway parallel with the
flagpole, construct platform on top
a few feet from the percher and
charge a nickle to go up and take a
peek at him.
This was considered grand bunch
and overnight the platform was built.
But it SO happened that there was a
rival from another amusement spot.

Profit in WATERWAYS

| Persons interested in seeing the
Great Lakes st. Lawrence deep water
way become reality-and that in
cludes nearly everyone here in the
Northwest-may obtain new support
for their views by examination of the
report of the Manchester Ship Canal,
one of England's inland waterways.
The situation of Manchester was a
good deal similar to that of the cities
in Mid-continental America. It had
great factories and an established
trade but they were stagnating in
competition with Liverpool because of
IS miles of overland haul. Those IS
miles were big barrier, so finally a
private company, financed largely by
Manchester enthusiasts, built ship
canal from Liverpool. Many scoffed
at it as an impracticable dream and
sure to lose money.
The canal was built at vast expense
and has made money ever since it
was opened. At a time when ocean,
borne commerce is at its lowest ebb,
dividends are being declared on all
classes of canal stock and tidy nest
egg was placed in the surplus fund.
Through trial and tribulation the
people and interests centered around
Manchester fought doggedly OH UNI
til the final goal, the establishment
of the ocean rate base at Manchester,
had been achieved. Likewise, our
landlocked area has fought OH against
countless odds, until today, it's OBJ
jective is in the final stage of nego-
tiation.
Almost Immediately after the con-
struction of It's sea lane, Manchester's
industries were revived and con-
tinued to expand until it is second to
London, the British Empires great
est commercial center. It serves one
hundred and fifty towns and about
eight million people. The Seaway,
establishing the ocean base on the
shores of the Great Lakes, will be
the logical outlet for an area many
times Manchester's 1t will raise the
economic level in the whole of that
vast expanse lying between the Allie
ghenies and the Rockies, with result
ant benefits to coastline regions.
All that the Manchester Ship Canal
did for the interior of England and
consequently for the United Kingdom,
the st. Lawrence Seaway will do for
the interiors of Canada and the Unit
ed States and consequently for the
whole of these two nations.

dirty work had been done. In that
wrathful moment Shipwreck had un-
perched himself.

Then there was that sad occasion
when Shipwreck went aloft on the
Paramount Hotel. Intending to run
up quite a record. Shipwreck decided
that he would make little money on
the side.
Before his endurance test began,
he went about renting up the many
telescopes to be found in public pla-
ces. These ordinarily are rented at q
nickle a peep. with the planets and
Empire State Buildings tip as attrac-
tons.
Shipwreck paid each telescope pro-
fessor q certain sum to leave his post
and set up business in Longacre
Square. Kelly figured that the cur
iouS Broadway crowds would spill
nickles laviShly to get closeup view

But he hadn't reckoned with the
weather. For days and days New

fog and mist and sheets of rain. No
eye could have penetrated the haze.

perch, visualizing the loss of his in
vestment. Well, he would wait un-
til the sun came out! There would
be plenty Of time!, Then would come
the big cleanup.
The sun finally peeped through.
Kelly looked down on the square. But

cops, 1t seemed, had run out the

Arrangements were made for the
return Of several of them. Word was

Medical Association

There IS q well-defined impression
among doctors and dentists that the
condition known during the war as
trench mouth, form Of infection of
the mouth and gums, is definitely in
creasing in this country. In order to
check this contention, DR.. I. Disraeli
conducted a survey among public
health officials, dental schools and
individual dentists as to the fire.
quency Of the condition as seen in
their practices.
Between 80 and 80 per cent Of the
persons questioned were convinced
that the disease is definitely on the
increase. It is, of course, impossible
to be certain that this opinion is cor
rect, since the condition Is not gen.
orally reportable to health authors
ties in the same way that measles,
scarlet fever, diphtheria and similar
infectious diseases are reportable.
It happens that the state Of New
York has made the condition report
able since 1922. Even though all Of
the cases are probably not reported
to the health authorities such Stats
tics as are available indicate that

increased tenfold from 1922 through
