 Stressing the fact that the dem- ocratic theory of government for the people and answerable to the people is important today more than ever, Major Smith explained that President Roosevelt is prov ing by his progressive program that he realizes that the manufac- turers, businessmen and investors can enjoy prosperity only to the same degree that the mass of the people enjoy in purchasing power.

Scribe Tries New
Money Alb

HOLLYWOOD, April 2O.-One
of the better stories Of the week
is told on a writer, who is an oc-
casional contributor to the movies
and who Has an established repu-
tation among the higher-grade
pulp magazines.
For years this chap has followed
. regular routine. He sells a
story. then goes up to Santa Bar
bara and drinks up the proceeds
when the money is gone, he drives
hack to Los Angeles in his expen-
Sive car, borrows a little money,
which be always pays back ana
writes another story.
The other day he showed up IN
a local newspaper office looking
rather hollow-eyed and obviously
at the end of one of his sprees'
All the boys knew what was com
ing, but sat back and waited;
presently, the writer approached
the night city editor, hemmed q
bit and said: -,
'DO you suppose you could
lend me two dollars? 1 wOuldn't
ask YOU for myself but my man
hasn't eaten in two days"

Fields SiIences
Band Rehearsal

HOLLYWOOD, April 20.-Mary
Brian and w. C. Fields are neigh
bors, living on opposite sides OF
the narrow end of Tolucca Lake
The other day Mary's brother
Terry DAIMLER, returned from the
Orient with his dance orchestra
For want Of a better place, he car
ried the boys out to Mary's house
to rehearSe.
The noise, booming across the
lake, soon got on Fields nerves
After standing it for awhile, he
rushed into the house and emerged
with a large African tom-tom from
his collection of curios. Standing
at the edge of the water, the CO.
median commenced to beat the
drum furiously. The awful dis
cord went on until the orchestra
gave up.

|DepIores Humor

Humor
To the Motion Picture Editor:
At the outset I would Like to pay
tribute to the picture Death
Takes a Holiday" It Is q hearten-
ing thing to see Hollywood take
this wonderful play and do so well
with it.
I also would like to pay tribute
to Evelyn Venable, who, in the
most difficult role in the picture,
in my opinion, did q highly meri-
torious piece Of acting. This Is
meant in no way to detract from
the sterling performance Of Fred
eric March.
It is unfortunate, however, that
several attempts made to inject
humor into this piece. In every
instance the attempt was cheap.
and even had the humor been good
7 cannot see where it had any
place in this picture, which, with
this exception, was exquisltely
staged and wonderfully acted.
If Death, personified, were to
come to earth on a holiday I can.
not credit him, by any stretch Of
the imagination, with walking
about indulging in timeworn gags,
Very sincerely yours,
ERIC TEMPLE

A Woman s
eWbOint
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TIME mean old skinfint, the
Il misery wretch" were only a
couple of the terms used in de-
scribing a certain rich city man
who had refused the request of
three women to donate to pop
ular children's charity.
Another name, less harsh and
equally illustrative, would be
poor, deluded creature"
Those people, who having more
money than they need, yet hang
onto every penny with desperate
tenacity, actually possess less
than the rest of us. They have
no faith in their kind, no imagi-
nation, no conception of the
proper destiny of the dollar, and
what's worse, no firm foundation
for their lives.
Money may be their compensa-
ton for an arid round of dismal
days. Why should we grudge them
their gold when they have so little
else?
Far beneath their worship of
material things they must often
be torn by anxiety and horror.
Probably when they awake in the
deep night they feel desperate
fright, having no place for the
shelter of their lonely souls. They
must have a sense of being lost
in illimitable space. 1t may be
that sometimes their beings cry
out and listen in vain for
friendly response from an empty
universe.
So it is, they hold their gold
dearer; they part with it more
reluctantly and instead of hating
we should pity them.
Existence must indeed be a. ter
rible experience for the person
who has only money to give in
exchange for life, for sunshine,
for spring lilacs, for the light in
other mems eyes, and for the
hearts ease of kindly deeds.
Think of what it means to be
obliged to depend wholly upon
soiled bits of paper for all ones
security and happiness. No matter
how high may be the piles of
notes and bonds and royalties,
they are never quite enough.
1t is strange and tragic that so
many of us are eager to fortify
our old age by economic security
and yet are careless of the need
for accommodating mental and
spiritual safety for those years
when we shall want them most.
The sweet serenity of an untrou-
bled conscience is the best bit of
wealth in any mans strong box.
