i posed and arranged the night De- fore. He wrote POO pages of music for Seven Keys to Baldpate" in one week.
 Most of his tune-ideas come to him while he is driving his car, or during the few hours he spends in bed. He stops his car or springs from the covers, as the case may be, and jots them down.
 
 Escape Royalties
 Nearly every note of music in pictures these days is original, ex- cept when trick arrangements are made of very old tunes to help with the recreation of some period.
 One reason most of the music is original is because it's cheaper to hire composer than to pay royal ties on copyrighted stuff. For ex- ample, a studio must pay royalty if an actor whistles just a snatch of Tn the Good Old Summer time" Tempo Is of the Essence
 Colombo's method of working is to see picture several times and catch its mood and tempo. (Eyery picture has tempo) He takes notes, figures about what's needed, then crouches over his piano and writes. When the musical theme is de- veloped, he writes various chapters which are to be fitted into specified intervals in the picture.
 Knowing the tempo of the music, and the number of bars, he can tell to the second how long piece will run.
 Everything is orchestrated next, and Colombo and his men retire to the scoring room, where the or- chestra players watch him and he watches the screen. Marks on the side of the film, visible on the screen, tell him exactly when music should begin and finish. They have to record right on the dot, because Colombo says some spectators can discern a mistake in synchroniza- tion of h of second.
 
 AuneS MuSL tL
 There's often difficulty about clubbing in singing voice, because spectators closely watch the lips of vocalist and feel they've been fooled if note fingers an instant after the singers lips are closed. Colombo solves that by studying the sound track and cutting little out of the middle of the long notes. Then he matches up the vibration waves, pastes the film together, and nobody could tell the difference. Reverse English
 When RKO made a South Seas picture, titled Red Morning" the action called for a chorus of native voices, but there was no time to bring natives from the South Seas. The music director came to the rescue with sound track which had recorded an ordinary Amer ican chorus singing an ordinary song. He doesn't even recall what the song was--"Yes, We Have No Bananas" or old Kentucky Home" or something.
 Anyway, he ran the film back ward! The rhythm, the weird music, and even the resulting gib- perish sounded just as you'd ex- pect a South Seas chorus to sound.
 Colombo did 9 pictures in 1885, the equivalent of about 20 sym phonies. In his spare time he works on a symphony of his own. Been working on it for years, and it's about half finished.

Hollywood.-There's more music than you'd guess in the average photoplay. About as much, in fact as in the average symphony.
 Hollywood musical directors are pleased, though, when fans don't notice the background music in a picture. That's an indication that the melodies are truly in the mood. Such a defeatist attitude is pretty painful, at first, to those who com- pose the music and orchestrate the scores for movies. But they get over it. Carlo Alberto Colombo did.
 Colombo Administration Ital- ian, one-time child prodigy, sym phony cellist, Broadway conductor, and arranger for Paul Whiteman- is the RKO musical director. He also is one of the most prolific composers in the world. Has to be.
 After the action of a picture is filmed, they toss 1t over to him and say: Score this, please-it is scheduled for release in 10 days. Vaya con Dios!"
 So Colombo writes like mad, re- cording by day what he has com-

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, March Il. - State
Auditor L. Mccarthy Downs yesterday
said one of the most important bills
passed by the Legislature which af-
feet his Office was the measure requir-
ing State and local officers handling
public funds to maintain offlcial bank
accounts to prevent the mingling of
public funds with personal money.
Commenting on the bills, Mr.. Downs
said:
THE most important is the act re-
quiring clerks of courts, trial justices,
sheriffS. sergeants and conStables to
maintain official bank accounts and
prohibits the intermingling of personal
and official moneys.
Heretofore it has been regarded by
many of these officers that they were
only required to produce at the time
Of an audit sum equal to their ac-
countability, and it was for this reason
that requested that this bill be
passed.
"The effect Of the new legislation
will be that all of these officers will be
required to have on hand st all times
the amount for which they are &C.
countable. and this will greatly lessen
any temptation on the part of an Of
hcial to borrow temporarily from pub
Lie funds"

$4,000 TO PERMIT
STUDY OF CHANNEL
Amount Proposed in Supply
Bill to Help Engineers in
Flaming Details.

While the $4,000 proposed by the
Senate Appropriations Committee IN
the War Department supply bill for
work in improving the Washington
Channel water front will make but
little headway on the project, still-its
sponsors say-it will permit an aus
piciouS beginning on an undertaking
that has been discussed for years.
Specifically, the Army engineers
say that the $4,000 will permit the
officials to make borings to determine
the nature of the SubSoil upon which
new piers would be constructed; to
make architectural studies and pre-
pare designs for the project.
Preliminary sketches now are on
hand in the United States Engineer
Office here, but these are only broad
outlines and general studies. With
the $4,000 the officials will be able to
''get down to brass tacks" and fill in
the details. Furthermore, they will
be enabled to get out plans and speci-
ficationS, so that when Congress does
appropriate additional funds the Army
Engineers will be able to go ahead full
steam.
The general layout already has been
agreed upon, but the authorities
tacitly admit that even if Congress
made a great deal of money available
now. the preliminary steps would have
to be taken as outlined. The total
cost of the project is set at S1,65o,000,
and this would provide the National
Capital with new wharves, new Struc-
lures and an adequate set Of yacht
basins. For years the visiting yachts
men have complained that Washing
ton lacks proper facilities for them,
but with the accomplishing of the
plans the Army Engineers have drawn
up this oversight will be rectified.

Militant women strike sympathizers
dispersed today after holding up a
freight train and locking the conductor
in the caboose.
C. M. Culbertson Of Jonesville. the
conductor, said about rs women
boarded his Louisiana & Arkansas
Railway train yesterday at Searcy
near here. After holding the freight
for several hours they allowed it to
complete its run here. he said.
Culbertson said some of the women
were wives and daughters of trainmen
who went on strike for wage increases
September 10.
The women complained that mem-
bers of the crew were among the
original strikers, but had since gone
back to work as strike-breakers.
One member Of the crew, who would
not give his name, said the women
unsuccessfully tried to make them
write out their designations and held
Conductor Culbertson prisoner on his
own train in an attempt to force him
to quit.
Armed guards, placed on the train
since the strike started, made no at
tempt to raise their weapons against
the women and members of the crew
did not resist them.
]. c. Wade, editor of the Jena Times
at Jena, La, near Searcy, said he was
informed the women gathered from
different sections and went along the
train route yesterday in automobiles
requesting shippers not to use the rail-
road for their freight.
