HOLLY WOOD, Feb. 9.-Be-
tween acting and etching, Lionel
Barrymore undoubtedly would
choose the latter, yet he will tear
himself away from his hobby to
answer an important studio sum-
mons.
Metro -Goldwyn-Mayer has chos-
en- him for one of the leads
in Service" a big department
store picture which Clarence
Brown is starting very soon for
the Culver City studio. Other
players whom you will see in this
film include Lewis Stone and M.
G. MS two new English actresses,
Elizabeth Allen and Bonita Hume.
Always interested in etchings.
Barrymore has improved his tech
nique in the last two years. His
dreSSing-room is a complete studio
and he spends hours working over
the copper plates. Exhibiting here
short while ago, the actor found
(. brisk demand for hit etchingS;
now he will be one of the first
10 to show for the New York
Etching Society.
These honors seem to mean
more to him than the critical
and box office plaudits of his
acting.
But, being a Barrymore, he
can't get away from the old craft.
Hollywood has it's quota of long
faces. But all the studios are
humming with plans for the new
years program. Universal has
made so much money out of the

to order by skilled workmen in
three dayS-coStS less than SO.
And a complete meal in the
very best restaurant in Athens,
including your wine, cannot
run over a dollar unless you
attempt to take the table home.
And speaking Of meals, I had
quite a chat with my floor
waiter in the hotel this after
noon. The man is highly in
telligent. He speaks six Ian
guages and is far more cultured
than nine-tenths of the GUS
toners he is forced to serve,
He is young-about 38. should
say - but there is something
around his eyes that shows life
beat him some time ago.
He supports a wife and four
children, which may have some
thing to do with the beating.
This hotel works on the 10
per cent system, which means
that a tariff of that percent
age is added to your bill
and every employee in the hotel
shares in the proceeds at the
end of the month.
This man, with his heavy
family burden, receives no sal
ary Of any kind. He never
knows what he has earned
until the end of the month,
when he is handed his share
of the percentage by the hotel.
All the employees must accept
their shares without question.
The slightest objection will
cause their dismissal.
Il dislike being too personal"
I told him, "but would you
mind telling me what you
earned last month? I'm highly
interested"
Certainly, sir" was his cour-
teous reply. "I received about
5000 drachmas from the hotel,
, and about 1000 more in addi-
tional tips from my customers.
Those are my usual earnings,
Sir-a bit more in the rush sea-
son and a bit less in the slower
months"
For All Expenses
I was amazed. Five thou
sand drachmaS a month, or
slightly more than $25, in our
money! About So a week to
clothe, feed and house himself,
his wife and his four children!
Then there are taxes to meet
and an occasional doctors bill
and-oh, the list grows too
great. And this is the lot of
an educated man who speaks
English, French, German,
Greek, Italian and Turkish!
"I don't understand it," I
muttered. II don't see how you
manage to survive. I know
that things are cheap in Greece
today. but I cannot figure out
how you can feed six people on
such an income. It must be
very difficult for you"
The beaten eyes closed and
opened.
"It is very difficult" he
returned softly, "but somehow
or other we have ceased to
think of the difficulties. One
can grow accustomed to any,
thing, sir, and I suppose that's
what has happened to us. Life
must go on, and we must make
the best of what we have.
"If my salary is insufficient
one month, we must live &C.
cordingly. Olives are very
cheap, and so are salami, fruit
and nuts. If there is no bread
this month we hope for some
the next. We never starve, sir,
and the situation is not quite
SO bad as it might seem on the
surface. After all, it's simply a
question of growing accus-
toned to an existence that
might be far worse"
And it wasn't until the man
had left that I realized how
wise he really was.

A Poor Country

A Poor Country
Mr.. Hellinger," said the
gentleman, and the mere fact
that he called me mister"
proved that he was a gentle
man, you'll find Greece to be
one of the poorest countries in
the world today. The ground
is not particularly fertile, and
agriculture is none too produc-
tive. The people have been
living on next to nothing, and
they will continue to do so for
a long time.
I'm days gone by, the seaport
on the outskirts of Athens was
one of the busiest harbors in
the world. The workers thrived
on the shipping industry and
they were able to support their
families in fine fashion.
But you'll find things very
different today. Enter that
same seaport and you'll find
the docks filled with idle YES
sells. Only the smaller boats
can afford to move; the larger
ones cost far too much to oper-
ate. So the big boats remain
idle and grow older at their
docks-grim, silent, motionleSS
tributes to the depression.
Meanwhile, the drachma-
the Greek coin of the day
has fallen to its lowest level.
You are travelling with Ameri-
can dollars, are you not. Good.
Then the result will surprise
you. You will find that, even
though you are a tourist and
will spend far more than the
average native, you will be able
to get more for your money
than in any country you have
visited thus far.
Mark my words-and see if
I am wrong"
I marked the gentleman's
words, and I am here to assure
you that he was not wrong.
For one American dollar they
hand you 100 drachmas in this
fair town-and if you shop
around for your money you can
do slightly better than that.
At Barber Shop
After passing through ma
tions and territories in which
living scales are even higher
than they are in New York,
Athens affords something Of a
sensation. The first thing 1
did upon arriving at the hotel,
for example, was to visit the
barber shop.
d The barber proved an excel
lent craftsman. He had worked
in New York for ten years-in
the Ambassador Hotel for some
tirne-and had returned to his
native Greece three years be-
fore. He knew his business,
and he handed me the best
shave I've had since I left New
York.
With the shave went the
works. That bird wouldn't
take no for an answer. He
used four hot towels and as
many different fascial applica-
tionS, He slapped on my
favorite tonic until I thought
he was going to drown me in
it. And when I finally stepped
from the chair to pay my bill,
the charge was ten drachmas.
Five cents for all that in the
best hotel in town!
Before I left, I spoke to him
quite frankly.
VERY evidently" I observed,
"you can't make much money
here. Your price scale is too
low for that"
you're quite right" he re-
piled. Things are very, very
bad. Most of us have a tough
time getting along"
We'll, then" asked, what
made you leave New York to
come back here? You must
have made a fairly decent liv-
ing over there. Why did you
return to Greece?"
Because" he muttered, II
was a damned fool"
The discussion was over.

SALUDA, Jan. 26.-The Saluda
Athletic club, through the cour-
tesy Of DR.. Little was recently
given permission to convert the
old theatre building into an athle-
tic court. This innovation has
given basketball a new meaning
in Saluda. Monday the opening

away with Mills Springs girls with
score of "a to 7, Darts Gary-El-

for the Saluda team.
The Saluda boys walloped the

The Saluda boys went down in
defeat by Blanton's Ashevilie

Eclipses, Comets
Are Scheduled

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. (UP)
Spectacular sky phenomena fea-
turing six comets and two eclipses
are on the program for this years
astronomical entertainment. The
comets are scheduled for return
engagements, while the cclipses
are to be extra added attractions.
Brorsen's comet, last seen in
1879, will streak across the astro-
nomical stage in November, &C
cording to the American Nature
Association of Washington. The
other comets will appear in May,
June and August.
The two eclipses of the sun will
be annular. An annular eclipse,
the Nature Association points out,
is one in which the positions of
the sun and moon are such that
the moon fails to cover the solar
disc completely, leaving a thin an
nulus or ring of light at the time
corresponding to totality in total
eclipse. The partial eclipses, Feb.
"a and Aug. 21, will be visible
only in the eastern and southern
hemispheres.
Mars, especially interesting be-
cause OF it's possibilities as an.
abode of life and its varied sur
face markings, which indicate
seasonal changes, is due at perihe-
lion, that point in its orbit nearest
the sun, on March 1. Astronomers
interested in this neighboring
world will keep it under close
scrutiny some weeks before and
after the date of opposition, and
new information about the ruddy
planet may be forthcoming.
Regulus, first magnitude star of
the constellation of Leo, will be
eclipsed by the moon on Feb. 10,
Although the moon passes be-
tween the earth and hundreds of
stars every year, an accultation,
or clipse, of a star of the first
magnitude is not a frequent oc-
currence in any one locality. OPP
enon should not be missed if the
night is clear.

making their third bow against
each other before local fans.
Twice before have these eXpon-
ents of the fStic art met; once last
summer at OSceola Lake when the
Bearcat lost all of his champion
ships to Peterson and again early
this winter in the city gym when
Bearcat secured a draw and won
back all the championships he had
hitherto lost, but was kept from
also winning Peterson's champion
ship of Valley Hill because the
match ended in draw.
So Saturday nights match will
see the fighters enter the ring eX-
actly where they were before they
started boxing each other. with
each having all his championships
but neither having any of the
others championships, and with
both hoping to come out with all
the championships.
Other events on the card in
clude a couple of basketball
games between the boys and girls
OF each school.
This is the first meeting of the
teams this season and based on
the showing of the teams against
other opponents, promises to he
ni1 and tuck throughout.
Despite the fact that the riv-
airy between the girls teams of
the two schools is intense and
hard fought struggles result, the
greatest interest will lie in the
outcome of the BOYS contest, par
ticularly since the Valley Hill boys
have one of the finest records OF
any team in the county thus far
and will be attempting to main
tain that record against an Indian
team that has been gaining mo-
mentum steadily since the begin
ming of the season.

MAROONS BEAT
HlLLTOPPERS
But Local Boys Have Chance
for Comeback at Foe
on February 10
By J. T. FAIN, JR.

SHE VILE, Jan. ga
smooth working Asheville high
combination slipped away from
the Blue Ridge Hilltoppers in the
senior high gymnasium last night
to take the long end of 81 to
25 score and put the Ridgians one
down in their quest for Western
North Carolina laurels.
On their toes throughout the
contest the Maroons took advant-
age of couple of lanses into med
iocrity on the part of the Hilltop
pers and gained commanding
lead, although the Hilltoppers raj
lied from one such slump and al
most tied the score.
The first such slump came IN
the last stages of the first period
when the Maroons ran their lead
to 10 points, only to see 1t fade
to 8 points as the Hilltoppers
came back strong with fine pass
ing attack.
The second slump came in the
latter part of the third period and
from this the Hilltoppers failed to
rally and the whistle caught them
trailing by II points.
The Hilltoppers suffered from
lack of defensive ability rather
than from inability to work the
ball into Asheville territory. Time
after time the smooth passing at
tack of the Maroons fooled the
visitors completely ard gave the
Asheville players Grip shots at the
basket.
This lack of defensive power,
coupled with the inability on two
occations Of the. Hilltoppers to
make shots stay in the basket,
tells the difference between the
two ball clubs in the game last
night.
The Maroons have one of the
best working combinations seen in
this section in many years, and
their shots, of the high-arching
variety, seldom fail to find The
basket. The Hilltoppers were a
poor second last night and should
profit much by the game and give
the Maroons a battle royal in the
second meeting of the teams in
Hendersonville on February 10.

Okay to Take Chance Now

THE British magazine, Brittanla

for the Princes absence from the
sport. We quote:
The shrewd men who advise the
Prince look at it this way: Whi:e
it seemed as if the throne might
require him tomorrow-no hunting.
Eight or nine people every year are
killed in the hunting field, more
get crippled and scores break bones.
But with the King as we'll as he
ever was-why, some hunting again

It seems that the Princes ap'

invigorate the sport. If the Prince
hunts, so do all the fashionable
