lODdCCO fLOdu, Will AACLiJ y 4AuAi
this week at the National Theater the
sixty-third consecutive week of its re-
markable record-breaking tour Of the
principal theatrical centers of the
country. The popularity of the Jack
Kirkland -Erskine Caldwell serio-com-
edy of the Georgia 'bresh" country
has been so great in Washington that
not only was a return engagement
booked, but on returning here, en-
thusiastic audiences have greeted To
bacco Road" in such great numbers
that the return engagement has been
extended for another week, making
the impressive total of three weeks for
the Washington stand.
Henry Hull, who originated the role
of Jeeter Lester on Broadway, back in
1888, continued to play the tattered
patriarch of the Georgia hinterlands
for seven months in New York and
then was forced to bequeath his dust
laden shoes and socks to his notable
successor, James Barton. The force
which removed Mr.. Hull from To-
bacco Road" was a previous motion
picture contract, which, when it was
fulfilled, allowed Mr.. Hull to exchange
his lupine fangs used in The We're
wolf of London" for his loved habili-
ments of Tobacco Road"
THUS. on March IS, 1885, in Los
Angeles, when Mr.. Hull's cine
matte efforts we're concluded, To
bacco Road" inaugurated its Nation
wide tour. Nine weeks in Los Angeles
was the first item in a record Of ex-
optional box office successes. followed
by five weeks in San Francisco and the
astounding Summer return engage
ment to Los Angeles for another six
weeks.
To the tune of cheering audiences
commingled with shattered box-oft1ce
records, Tobacco Road" continued to
wind through the theatrical reaches
OF the country. Salt Lake City, Den

THE LIFE OF TRADE

Competition is the life OF trade
and boon both to the consumin,
public and the competitors them
selves. That is the opinion of a Inm.
Der of observers who have consjd.
cred the question Of chain store YER
sus independent stores.
Give any business a monopoly and
1t grows slOthful It doesn't attempt
to keep up with the times. Il let's
matters take their course.
Before the advent of the chain
systems, it is an unquestioned fact
that many stores, particularly in
small towns, were still in the
"cracker-barrel" era. Their owners
DIDN'T know about modern innova-
tions in merchandising and they
didn't care. The result was that ia
cilities were poor, prices were high
and turnover was low.
Competition from chains changed
the picture. Independents had to
spruce up or go out of business. A
few of the lazy ones did the latter
but the aggressive store owner saw
the handwriting on the wall and i'm
mediately mOdernized. The result is !
that the better independent stores of /
TO-DAY give better service than they /
ever did before. charge lower prices,
do more for their customers, and /
make more money through larger
turnover.
This competition also works the
other way. Occasionally a chain sys-
tenn has sat back on its heels, and
said, in effect, We'll, we're doing
'airly well, and there's no use break
ng our necks to improve our stores
'urther." The next thing that hap
lened was that live independents
we're getting its business.
Under free competitive practices,
america has the best merchandising
ystem in the world. Prices are rea-
enable. service is excellent and an
wide selection of goods is
ffered even in village stores. And
consumers and commun-
les benefit.

A DIsRuPTIYE INFLUENCE

In his annual report, Charles r
Gay. President of the New Yorl
Stock Exchange, makes a strong
practical argument for repeal of the
capital gains tax.
Objection to the tax, Mr.. Gay says
rests upon the plainly apparent fact
that it is not paid by those who
were intended to pay it; that its
yield to the government is c0mpara-
lively small, and that it is not gem
eral in its applicability and opera
tiOn.
Mr.. Gay cites Treasury figures to
prove his contention that the reve-
nue. produced by the tax is insignifi-
cant-in 1884, the total capital net
gains tax paid by individuals
amounted to less than $212,OO0, 900,
which was almost entirely offset by
capital net loss deduction of S17S,-
100000. He adds: when natural
forces in the market are thwarted,
the conduct of business assumes an
abnOrmality, and the danger at
tached to any crisis is enhanced
Holders of securities and realty
which have advanced in price suffi-
GENTLY to establish large paper pro-
hts, should, from every point of
view, be allowed reasonable freedom |
IN realizing their profits, and such |
sellers should not be unduly penal I
zed when they follow the dictates of
Iound Judgment.
The capital gains tax does thwart
lormal forces, and as a result there
5 always the danger that. It will act
s a suddenly disruptive influence
n our financial structure. 1t may

irge profits have accrued from SELL
lg them until some unforeseen
vent forces them to dump their
oldings all at once on the market.
! the words of the New York Her ,
d Tribune, There can be no ques- (
on but that the operation of the (
lpital gains and loss provision of {
e revenue laws acted in 1928 and I

rs from taking profits on a rising
arket, and that it was equal in
lcement for the selling of stocks

sly to accentuate the boom and the G

My, what a funny sight to see. Strange, happy music makers three. The hopper, cricket and the frog were having lots of fun.

Many Variations
People and faces are usually
much more interesting to chill
dren than such things as flowers,
houses or stars. Luckily almost
any meal can produce some type
of figure.
Cereal cooked with less water
than usual can be nodded into a
snow man or left in a circular
mound and eyes, nose and mouth
added from raiSinS.
On a vegetable plate a colorful
man can be made from young
carrots cooked whole, mashed po-
tato head, a sliced beet or meat
patty body and green peas used
for eyes and nose.
Toast and bread can be cut into
soldiers or little men with a gin
gerbread cookie cutter.
Flapper or doll salads made
with painted cheeks, cherry lips,
and coconut hair also have their
appeal.
Ice cream not only is good
but is good for them when they
are trying to gain weight and
strength. If a standard recipe
is followed, then additions may
be made quickly or different
types of moldS used that vary
it's appeal. Cream made from
rennet or junket tablets is most
easily digested.
