WHAT THE WAR COST

Many statistics have been compiled
relative to the cost of the World War, but
the figures are so large that it is impos-
sible for the human mind to grasp their
significance.
In an effort to put these figures into
somewhat more understandable form, DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University, tells what might
have been done with the 400 billion dollars
spent on account Of the war, as follows:
1.-THE World War, all told, cost-apart
from 80 million lives-400 billion dollars
With that money we could have built ST.
500 house. furnished it with $1,000 worth
of furniture, placed it on five acres of land
worth 500 an acre and given this home to
each and every family in the United States,
Canada, Australia. England, Wales. Ire
land, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany
and Russia We could have given to each
city of 10000 inhabitants and over, in
each country named, five million dollar
library and ten million dollar university
Out of wat was left we could have set aside
a sum at five percent that would provide
a $1,000 year salary for an army of 1885,
900 teachers and like salary for another
army of 125, 900 nurses
Yet there is constant talk about
another war. It would probably be going
on now if the nations had the money or
credit whereby it could be financed, and it
seems bound to come eventually. And we
call this an age of civilization.

MOVIE SALARIES

When Sol A. Rosenblatt code adj
ministrator for the motion picture indus
try, revealed recently that one screen star
received a $4,000 salary last year, and
a few others came close to the $300,O
mark, he mentioned no names. Ever since,
writers who are supposed to have inside in
formation concerning the salaries of big
shots of the films have been trying to
identify the top-notchefs.
Taking Mr. Rosenblatt's figures, one
writer picks few of the highest paid
stars, as follows:
He comedies the highest salary of all,
$4,000, to Will Rogers. He places Con-
stance Bennett second with $296,250; Ruth
Chatterton third with $3.50, 654; John Gil
bert fourth with $277,333; Nicholas
Schenk, president of two producing cor
porations. is rated fifth with $273,596.
The highest paid director is thought to be
Ernst Lubitsch at a salary of $150,00O.
The administrator reported that 10
actors and others connected with the in
dustry receive more than the normal salary
of the President of the United States,
which is $4,000.
But Will Rogers's top salary is less
than half the $4,000 year once spurned
by Gloria Swanson, and far less than the
$4,000 a week once paid to Colleen
Moore. Weekly salaries, however, are
usually paid only when the star concerned
actually works. Last year it is said, John
Rarrvnnora received S25 000 weak hut
he worked less than four weeks out of IL
months, earning $91 ,666.
To the average person all these high
salaries seem excessive, and the fact that
most of the big producing companies have
been in receivership or have gone bankrupt
during the depression seems to confirm
that opinion.

CHEAPER TRANSPORTATION
Miami Herald)

Realizing that transportation to and from the
island city of Key West remains the most inn
portant feature Of the FERA recovery program
there, the commissioners of Monroe county will
turn the ferry system to the federal admins
traitor, b. NJ Duncan.
The result of this will be an immediate re-
duction in ferry charges Tho administrator can
buy supplies more cheaply than the former opera
tors and man it at less cost. So long as the
water gaps remain unbrdged this is as far as the
administrator 20 in making it easier and
economical for motorists to enter and leave Key

The Files OF The Citizen

A member of the school board
of Monroe county, in discussing
the matter of establishing a school
in Flamingo, told The Citizen the
board is ready to open a school in
that place provided the number of
Pupils who will attend come up to
requirements. He explained that
according to the requirements Of
the board of education of Florida
there must be at least 10 children
to attend school to warrant its
being kept open and if there are
that many at Flaming0 the school
will be authorized. 1t was further
explained that it is not within the
province of the board to construct
a building but the board stands
ready to rent building in which
to carry on the educational activi-
ties. The board will also pay the
salary of any teacher who will be
acceptable to the residents.

With the advent of more folks to Key
West and their subsequent visits, to The
Citizen. many ask why the merchants of
this city do not advertise in their daily
paper. and when. why on such minuscule
scale. The answer is that Key West mer-
charts are simply not advertising minded.
This has always been so. In the best days
~ the glorious past. advertising was moth
ina - brag about. During one year of the
War period 3 Duval street merchant, who
has since departed for greener fields and
pastures new. did turnover Of 100000.

prosperous year was Just s24.
