Now it is purely question of

knows there is nothing new to

1t is the freshness Of idea and

reasonable that in the next four

Our hostess big-pupiled eyes

It's heavy and depressing. And

"I've enjoyed reading your
new book on how to write and

Marion"
I'm delighted. I recently
took a seven months trip and
during that time wrote it. I
think picture writing is a great

particularly good vocation for
women. I tried to include in
the book all I've learned of writ

years I've been at it,"
A short time after the SIS

wrote "The Founding" in 1915
and received $125 for it. This

writer herself who persuaded
the beloved Marie Dressler to
come to Hollywood, and she
wrote Min and Bill' and "Em-

in mind.
One thing which Miss Marion
said during the afternoon, and
which I liked very much was
this: "Any picture is a mosaic
Of incidents skillfully tied to-
gether. Incidents are more i'm
portant than the plot sometimes.
Frequently the plot will never be
remembered-but incidents in
the picture will stay in the mind
for years."
Before we left, Miss Marion
showed US around her beautiful
garden with reflecting pools,
tall trees, colorful flowers. She
and Dorothy Orzner have the
loveliest homes I saw in Holly
wood.
Back in the car, after Frances
Marion had seen us to her big
oak door, Rosalie said, "Well,
how did you like her?"
"You both make me furious!"
Rosalie looked at me as If I
had right suddenly taken leave
OF my senses. The perfectly
plucked eyebrows rose above the
rims of the glasses. "Why, for
heavens safe?" she asked.
You're both too darned
smart. Three thousand bucks
a week! This company's too
good for me. I'm going back
home where $50 each and every
Tuesday is right up there in
the money"
RoSalie laughed with me.
"All fooling aside" she said.
you get yourself a smart idea
for a movie, work it UP like
Frances instructs in her book,
and that $50 will look like pin
money"
I think Rosalie has some
thing there. Wouldn't she be
surprised to get a masterpiece
from all Of us? There might
be an idea right there!

LEAF MART MUCH
BETTER THIS YEAR
Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies Issues First Of
Series of Reports

Washington, Feb. 2 (AP)-The bu-
reau of agricultural economics report
ed today the tobacco leaf market this
season is much better than last year.
The first issue of series of tobacco
reports gave an unusually bright out
look for hurley now being marketed
with prospects "that the season aver
age will be between 35 and 40 cents
per pound, which would be a record
high"
With the 1886 production of 17,O00,-
600 pounds of hurley the smallest since
1927 and stocks Of 681 100000 the small
est since 1881, the report said unusual
ly high prices have been paid for
this type leaf this season.
Summarizing, the report said reduc-
ed supplies, an increasing rate of con-
sumption of tobacco products-princi-
pally igarettes-somewhat lower ex-
ports during the first few months of
the marketing season, and higher
prices to growers, were outstanding.
The effects of the increased demand
on price paid for the two most i'm
portant types of cigarette tobacco
flue cured and burley-have been con-
siderably different, the bureau said.
I'm the case of flue cured, prices

Martha whose big eyes followed
you about the room with the low

"Of course, I'm tickled to death, -

her about Joels contract. "But you

but every man is a stranger to the
woman who loves him until the
honeymoon has worn off and the

will bind you and so will the le-

how this old maid does go on" She
stopped.

responded simply.

ought to last a lifetime and some
folk are wrong, I think. Would
you want yours to go on for a
lifetime?"
Janet shook her head. mo,
Martha, I wouldn't. always want
to feel that Joel is the center of
my world but don't want always
to feel that I must play up I'd
like to know, without waiting for
a sign, that Joel is interested in
me-"
That's it! It's the knowing. It
may be because I am older than
you, child, but know in my heart
that the years ahead are as good
as this when two people survive the
difficult years. Some day you'll
find that it's just as exciting to
talk over the things YOU are GO

Raleigh. Feb. 2-Stung by widely
publicized statements of the Reverend
Arthur J. Barton, that bootlegging
has increased in New Hanover since
Opening of the county ACC stores, Of
ficials of the city of Wilmington and
county of New Hanover have hasten
ed to deny in whole and in part as
sertions of the Wilmington minister
Chairman Addison Hewlett, of the
board of county commissioners, and
a. lifelong dry both ir personal hablt
and public record, c:,enly declares
that the county system has been
success.
1T think the operation of ABC
stores in New Hanover has been
success. We certainly had liquor be-
fore and we have it now, but we do
not have the numerous dives there
were to be found scattered around
over the county," he said.
There has been no increase in
drunkenness and 1 am sure that boot
Logging has been materially reduced
and is confined to small operators
who are doing resale business"
In the opinion of Chief of Police ].
S. Lane, who cites statistics to prove
his statement, conditions in Whining
ton are materially better.
Arrests on account of bootlegging
decreased from 201 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1885, which was the
last year prior to opening of the IL
quor stores, to 112 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1885," he said.
There is every evidence that boot
logging has decreased fifty per cent
at least and I would say there has
been a one hundred per cent decrease
in the operation of speakeasies.
I'm my opinion conditions, so far as
liquor is concerned, have greatly inn
proved since the Alcoholic Beverage
Control system has been in operation"
Sheriff C. David Jones of New Han
over feels the same way about con-
ditions in the county.
II wish to state personally and as
sheriff of New Hanover county that
the liquor situation has improved ma
terially in respect to the manufacture
and sale of illegal liquor since the
opening of the ABC stores in this
county" he said.

the officials SAID they would not
have thought the matter of Statewide
interest had it not been for the fact
that the Reverend Mr. Barton chose
to cite the county of New Hanover
and the city of Wilmington in an adj
dress in Charlotte-an address which
was given Statewide publicity by
news associations
For this reason they felt the state
