THERE is no better way quickly to
gauge the feeling of the American
people than through the newspapers.
But you yourself cannot read two thou
sand daily newspapers! You cannot
weigh the varying reactions of their
markedly individualistic opinion.
This is the function of The Literary
Digest.
It is cortex of civilization and cul-
ture. . taking the impress of the news
as reported in the press everywhere.
It shows you where America is march
ing. 1t is the chief means you have of
detecting political, social and economic
trends.
Today The Digest is recording the
rebirth of the Nation-the swift hap
penings Of a changing world. The tempo
ofThe Digest has changed accordingly.
It is quicker, crisper; but it speaks with
the poise and authority that can only be
acquired by many years of intimate
knowledge of the American people.
Though The Digest will retain its
distinctive features and characteristics,
its greatly enlarged staff of journalists
of international reputation is infusing
a new and more modern spirit into the
leading news weekly of America.

RAyBURN DEMANDS
RAIL RATE SLASHES
Texas Representative Says
Reductions Would In
crease Revenues.

BY the Associated Press.
Calling upon railroads to reduce
freight and passenger rates as a means
of increasing their revenues through a
greater volume of traffic, Representative
Rayburn Democrat, of Texas, said yes
terday rail carriers had not done all
they could to meet competition and pro-
tect themselves.
II am of the opinion" the chairman
of the House Interstate Commerce COM
mittee said, that the railroads would
make more money if substantial de-
creaSeS in both passenger and freight
rates were brought about.
"The whole question is being reviewed
by the Interstate Commerce Commls-
sion, and I hope that a decision will be
handed down soon. hope the commits
sion will find it in the public interests
and lawful to make material reductions
in both passenger and freight rates.
Rayburn. who pilOted the new rail-
road act through the House, said the
railroad arrangements have sat down
rather grimly and have allowed the bus
and the truck to take their business
away from them"
"They have not done all that they
could to meet that competition, and to
stay in the transportation field" he
added "There is a level at which you
can place railroad rates that Is lair,
that is just, and that is reasonable, and
under which freight and commerce will
move and at which they will produce the
maximum amount of revenue"

Before Frances Marion came to
Hollywood she worked on morning
daily in San Francisco. She knows that
virile city thoroughly. But for a score
of years she has lived in Gelatinland
and ground out repetitive themes for
the gelatin strip which has kept the
world laughing and crying and for
getting its troubles.
How she has kept her youth and
charm through that 20 years of grind
is mystery. She has started on vaca-
tions only to be summoned back by
telegram or cable to begin another
adaptation. She had gone from one
out for rest, only to discover that her
services we're needed to keep some star
before the public-a job that only
Frances Marion could do.
She is musician of quality, de-
voted mother, a charming hostess and
a personality of consequence. She
wants to put some of all these varied
things into a print that will be lasting
more lasting than the ephemera of

L i stories-the old formulae are
used over and over again
sometimes expertly, sometimes badly.
Producers sit for long hours about the
conference table pleading for more
"wham," more Zip" or "heave" or
pull" Outraged authors have their
Towering genius ground down under tnis
iron heel. Directors have written added
dialogue to Shakespeare. And some
actors have loved their public too mucn
for that sort of thing and have refused
to be part of it.
Frances Marion, most successful
scenario writer of them all, has reoeleo.
For these reasons mentioned above she
has mutinied and VIII make no more
adaptations for the screen. She Will
write no more of the conunuitieS that
have brought her over $50,000 year.
Frances Marion has been the ln-oe-

the task of welding divergent and con-
fused tastes into practical use. Hers mas
been the responsibility OF saying what
a lot of people have had in their minds.
Whether or not they knew what they
wanted to say, Frances Marion has had
to find words to express precisely their
ideas.
Unless you've tried it, you cannot
dream of the difficulties, the hopeless
ness and the monotony of the task. IL
actually meant telling simple stories
very simply. According to Miss Marion,
it has been very much like writing bugie
