LATEST DICKENS PLAY
GOES INTO SECOND WEEK
"Tale of Two Cities" Palace Fea-
ture, Is Making Bid for
Season Honors.

CHARLES DICKENS seems to be in
~ a fair way toward becoming the
screens outstanding author, and soon
there's likely to be new gag out about
some poor producer. just as there was
a rumor at one time that Hollywood
magnate had ordered one of his
minions to sign up this fellow Shake
speare." No sooner had the critics Of
the land, in the annual "ten best"
poll. voted David Copperfield" the
best film of the year. than M-G.-M.'s
"A Tale of Two Cities" which now is
in its second week at Loew's Palace,
was flashed upon the Nations screens,
and the critics again repaired to their
respective housetops to shout about a
of the outstanding pictures of 1886.
All of the credit is not due Mr..
Dickens, though. He provided the
story of "A Tale of Two Cities" of
course, and there is nothing that need
be said in praise of it, but credit for
making truly fine photoplay is due
to M.-G.-M., who adapted the film with
the utmost sympathy, gave every mood
and emotion of the classic story its
proper place in the whole, and placed
upon the screen with true fidelity all
of the rich Dickens humor, the JOY,
the grief, the suspense, the despair and
all the human emotions interviewer in
the tale.
Under Director Jack Conway's su-
perb, almost inspired, guidance, the
players have lived their roles and
acted to the hilt every character in
the moving story. The screen drama
has been cast with an expert eye, too,
which has spotted every player in a
role which fits perfectly, and the
members of the cast carry through
their transformations so naturally
that the theme is brought vividly to
life.
The story and its treatment out
shadow any individual acting per-
formances, but there are some truly
notable Characterization turned in by
Ronald Collnan, who has one of the
best roles of his career and does one
of his best acting jobs; Elizabeth
Allan, who is charming, refreshing
and a capable performer; Edna May
Oliver. who has q fine comedy part:
Blanche Yurisa, who is nothing short
of superb as the menace OF the hlm,

A dozen or more other states tried

real estate groups who are opposed
to features of the bills, such as tax

FWA authorities have drafted a

eager to see the states adopt legisla-

ties to take over by lease or purchase
the federal housing projects already
under construction.

To this end, PWA is suggesting
that housing authority laws contain
provisions which will insure renting

Cuts in Electricity
To Save 100000
In New York City

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 23-Savings
amounting to 100000 annually for
users of electricity in New York city
are expected to follow the application
of new rate schedules approved here
by the New York State Public Service
Commission. The reduced rates are
effective on Jan. / or very soon there
after, Milo Maltbie, commission chair
man, said today.
Together with prior reductions
achieved through negotiations be-
tween the commission and public uti-
lities, New York city consumers stand
to pay $22,5O0,000 less for their cleo
trio service in 1887 than they paid in
1881, he added. It was in the latter
year that the first negotiated rate re-
duction went into effect with savings
of $8,50O,0O0 annually to consumers.
Revision. of wholesale rates, revi-
sion of rates to small commercial con-
sumers and reduction of the minimum
monthly bill from 81 to 80 cents
brought about the major share of the
rate reductions, according to an an
alysis of the commissions announce
ment. The slicing of 10 cents from
the maximum monthly charge is said
to affect more than 100000 consum-
ers in Greater New York.

Highest Since War

Washington, Dec. 23-The buying
power of the net income of farmers
as group is the highest in seven
teen years, G. W. Kitchen, Assistant
Chief, Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics, said this afternoon in address
ing the annual Fruit Growers and
Farmers Convention at Bakersfield,
Calf
There have been years during that
time when farm income was higher
than now, the speaker said, but he ex-
planned that things farmers buy also
were higher, so that the buying pow
er of farm income was less than it
is now.
Mr.. Kitchen pointed out, however,
that "all farmers are not equally fort
innate. Droughts in 1884 and 1886 Sc
riously reduced the limited resources
of many farmers, and in some cases
wiped them out completely
The speaker declared that the cash
income from farm marketings and
government payments this year will
total about $7,80O,OOO,OOO, which is a
gain of about 10 per cent over 1885,
and gain of more than 80 per cent
since the low point of the depression
in 1892
There have been marked economic
gains in the directions" he said. "a
reduction in farm mortgage debt with
the lowest interest rates on long-term
loans in our history, a rise of about
IL per cent in farm real estate values
| the depression low, fewer foreclosures
| and more voluntary transfers of farm
| real estate. The value of all farm
land and buildings has risen from less
than 81 billions in 1888 to more than
"a billions this year."
Mr.. Kitchen described some of the
research, service and regulatory acti-
vities of the Bureau of Agricultural
| Economics. He described the crop
and livestock estimating service with
it's 100000 voluntary reporters, who re-
port regularly on crop conditions in
| their communities the bureaus mar
ket news, farm products inspection
and standardization, and other SER
vices.

veloping consumer grades for farm
products, Kitchen said that mo pro-

Other Sources of Advice.
Other helpful advice can be obtain
ed from the international service of
the Social Security Board, the Public
Welfare Association here notes. Then
Tor those states which participate in
the forthcoming General Assembly of
the Council of State Governments in

Much state legislation on social Sc
curity is anticipated, for while the
majority of states have enacted laws
to take advantage of old age assis-
lance provisions of the act, many still
have to adopt legislation to give aid

Tor unemployment compensation and
for vocational rehabilitation.
In some other lines, states are ex-
pected to get ready for federal aid
which has not yet been assured. Hous-
ing is an example. A leading PWA

Winter Grazing Is
Found Economical
In Fender County

College Station, Raleigh, Dec 3d.
A system of winter-graZing developed
on the Invershiel dairy farm in Pen
der county has reduced the cost of
feeding the herd during the cold
weather months.
It also decreases the amount of
winter, the owner, Hugh McRae, told
John A. Arey, extension dairy spe-
cialist at State College.
McRae has developed a year-round
system of grazing for his 120 cows,
but he feels particularly gratified over
his success with winter-grazing.
From August Is to September Is,
he sows cold-proof oats that supply
good grazing in November and until
the weather gets cold. The oats also
provide grazing again in the spring.
Rye and crimson clover are sown
from September Is to October Is and
they provide an abundance of green
forage during January, February,
March, and April.
Some time in the fall McRae also
sows beardless barley for winter and
spring grazing, or it may be cut in
the spring for hay.
So far, he has had some difficulty
in providing abundant grazing in May,
due to variations in the coming of
spring weather, he told Arey, but in
1887, he is going to sow oats and
crimson clover in the spring to see
if they will solve the problem.
For late spring, summer, and early
fall green forage, McRae finds that
Biloxi soybeans desmodium (beggar-
weed, and sudan grass give excellent
results.
Although [McRae's herd does not
have the highest milk yield in the
State, the yield is good, and he gets
a higher than average net income, as
his feed cost is only about half the
average for the Dairy Herd Improve
ment Association, Arey pointed out.
