YOU CAN'T HELP GETTING
BARGAINS

1t is an ancient belief that the
woman is the ba~rgain-hunter Of the
family and that man must be dragged
reluctantly, if at all, to where goods can
be purchased cheaply.
If that is true, the man Of the
family must be having a good time now,
Tor there is very little else but bargains,
at prices unhead of a few years ago.
Those prices won't be with us much
longer-economic law doesn't allow "dis-
tress" sales to 60 on forever. Everything
from shirts to cement is going to cost
more very soon, as higher price and wage
levels will be on us before we know it.
It's about the last chance to buv
needed household articles, and make pro-
perty improvements and additions, at
depression costs. The chances are that
you, the reader Of this, have been lax
about keeping up your house and
grounds, in. order to save. But you had
better start your building and repair
work now if you don't want to dig deep
in toyour pockets in the near future.
Providing jobs and purchasing
power is better and cheaper than charity.

Omaha, Nebraska, Saturday, Sept. 2, 1888

Omaha people in one way or another.
Long ago Douglas Street Bridge
should have been bought by the two cities,
the two counties, the states or the Nat
ional Government by condemnation pro-
ceedings, the Bridge Company receiving
for it no more and no less than the actual
cost of construction less the actual de-
probation. Had this been done years ago
the purchase price could by this time
have been fully earned by the tolls raised
and we would own the Bridge free of
debt and could reduce the toll to just
cough to defray the cost of maintenance.
| can only explain to myself our failure
to do so to the selfish leadership of towns
men who owned an interest in the Omaha
and Council Bluffs Street Car Company
and to the citizens blind following of this
leadership. A good deal of the blame falls
to the former City Commissioners. This
whole Bridge Business is a sorry mess
that reflects discredit upon the men who
have assumed the responsibility of run
ming our city.

BUILDING FOR TOMORROW

The New York Times editorially
suggests that some of the public works
money might profitably be spent for
scientific investigation, and points out
that work done in laboratories is. in the
long run, often the best maker of jobs Of
all.
That is an excellent suggestion.
The government is to spend hundreds Of
millions in construction projects which,
once accomplished, will have ended their
usefulness so far as providing substant-
ial employment is concerned. Why not
spend q little in seeking to produce new
industrial wells from which permanent
jobs may eventually be drawn? Entirely
new jobs, rather than temporary employ
ment to be followed again by unemploy-
ment or overcrowding Of existing indus
try, is what our country really needs.

There are thousands Of little details that

and a working week Of five days sounds
simple on paper. But there are concerns,
especially small ones, where the hiring of
two shifts Of labor for each day is a fin

start, and where it is impossible to pro-
cure competent help for the one day of
the week when the workman is supposed
to be free. jobs like those Of a night

to be there. In other words, the Kath-

U OLLYWOOD, Calf, June g.
Il How movies are changing
Time was when a small blond
IL L leading lady must have tall,
dark fellow for a leading man
And time was when no girl could
aspire to be a star unless she had
that mask-like Greek regularity OF
feature of which our stars were made.
The latest screen team today is Kay
Francis and Nils Asther in Strange
Rhapsody" Both tall. both dark and
both of a type totally different from
anything previously used in building
up a cinema team following. 1t has
been unheard of to combine two
players both of whom hate fiery in
tensity. But the new producing meth
ods-undoubtedly directed by the pub
les taste-are varying radically from
anything hitherto dreamed OF.
Kay Francis advent into pictures as
a leading lady was different in the
first place Before this. a girl Of her
type either had to be the adventures
type-the siren and opportunity girl
or the direct vamp Of the type made
popular by that immortal brunette Of
the screen. Theda Bara.
1t has been a very different pro-
ceeding to see dark slim, tall girl
with green eyes that alternately laugh
ana gloom, p1dgulS 1tdQ AOlCo' IA AoL
cry from the little girls with curls OF
the Mary Pickford, Mae Marsh days
of the Mary Miles Minter vogue.
Another change is the new casting
method of putting types capable OF
reading the lines into the roles re-
gardless, often, of the fact that they
are of the same coloring. We often
find two blonds in the same picture,
or three of them. Some directors still
cling to the old routine that blond
leading lady must have a brunette
character woman and vice versa. The
smart ones get the girls who play the
parts best.
Joel McCrae-light brown hair and
gray eyes-is the favorite leading man
for blond Constance Bennett, although
in the old days nothing more fair than
Don Alvarado would have been coun-
senaced. We progress, and rapidly,
these movie days. Our new faces are
, types that wouldn't have had hear
ing as much as a year ago. Katharine
Hepburn brought the geometrical lace
into popularity. She brought the lean
type. the mental slant, the original, the
bizarre, the beauty of character, rather
than the rounded curves of soft classl-
cal beauty.
In her wake comes Elizabeth Young
of the New York stage, whom producers
believe to be another Hepburn type.
Chic, intelligent, with a background of
poise and experience, she is totally diff
ferent from those movie girls one tried
