Maybe a college education is a
big help in making a young man
rich and successful. but you can't
prove it by Hollywood.
A survey just conducted among
a group Of prominent male screen
players reveals that most Of the
big stars never have attended col
lege, a large number Of them did
not complete high school and
some Of them did not even finish
grammar school!
Moreover, the inquiry disclosed
that some Of the college trained
stars never have had the slightest
chance to display their culture
in fact, they have gained their
fame as illiterate ruffians.
Cultured Actors
James Cagney and Edward G..
Robinson are considered generally
to be among the most intellectual
actors. Both attended Columbia
University, and did not stop their
education there, but continued 1t
by further study. Yet both these
men. If you could Judge by their
various film characteriZations,
were nearer the moronic than the
intellectual side.
Three other well educated men,
Pat O'Brien, Robert Armstrong
and Edmund Lowe, likewise have
had Scant opportunity to show
their erudition. OBrien, who
studied at Marquette University,
did have Q chance to appear aS
. high class young American Of
collegiate mold in CoSrnopolitan's
"Oil for the Lamps Of China" but
most Of his performances have
been as a two-fiSted, fast talking

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
VICIOUS ExAcoERATIoN'

Upton Sinclair said in his debate" with Hamll-
ton Fish in the Hollywood Bowl that "a country in
which every one out of five persons is on charity
has to choose between production for use or infla-
ton followed by Fascism or Bolshevism."
At least that is what ne is reported to have said
whatever he thinks it means.
The trouble with the arguments of such men as
Upton Sinclair is that they almost invariably start
out on the false premises like his assumption that
one out of every five persons in the country is on
charity, an obviously vicious exaggeration
And at a time when, as in the present, the ma
ton is beginning to get back on its feet and men
are gradually getting back to work producing for
use, the effort to make it appear in the way
of some sort of catastrophe unless we start
luton, would be merely ridiculous if it not so
palpably vicious and harmful-Rock Hill IS. c.

World civilization as at present constl'

in any other way, it will fight for them.
That is why Japan went into Manchuria.

why Germany is restlessly looking for a

If we hope to keep the world at peace,

In 1888 The Times-News was roundly
"eussed" by local radicals for it's opposi-

has caused nothing but trouble, with much

amount of trade with Russia which was
promised as the fruits of recognition has
never materiahzed. No business with Rus

HISTORY REPEATS SELF IN
ETHIOPIAN AFFAIR
by BRUCE CATTON)

Just about the least effective way OF
meeting any great crisis in life is to throw
up the hands in horror and declare that
the whole business is shocking to the moral
sensibilities.
So far, however, that seems to be about
all that the statesmen of the earth have
been able to do in the face of the pending
war between Italy and Ethiopia.
To be sure, the whole proposition is
shocking. There is something about this
bold assertion that might makes right, this
unblushing preparation for the seizure by
the strong Of the weak's va1aables, which
sounds exactly like the conversation o.
some of the gas house gang as they get
ready to go out to hold up a delicatessen
store.
But the worlds history is made up of an
endless string of stories just hike it, and il
is hard to think of Single great natiou
whose people have right to point their
fingers In scorn.

we're on the subject, used to belong to the

day will travel the length of the
Mississippi from New Orleans to
destinations in st. Paul, Minneap-

Construction of 26 dams and

the Mississippi will change the
river from a stream of variable
depths, on which at times COM

$150,000,000 on the construction
of these dams and locks-seven
of which are completed - and
when they are finished a suffi-
cient depth of water will be avail
able at all times to allow continu-
