Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AvERILL

Raleigh, Nov. 5.-Revocation of 81
drivers licenses this week brought
to 1890 the total taken away in
North Carolina under the revocation
act.
An unusual feature Of the weeks
record: Two licenses were revoked for
manslaughter. The licenses of only
two women were revoked. The women
and the manslaughter revocations
went together. That is to say, the on
ly two women whose permits to drive
were taken away were the only two
drivers of any sex found to have COM
mitted manslaughter.
Driving drunk fell just slightly
short of it's usual tremendous percent
age USUALLY above 80 of all revoca-
ton causes, but still managed to do
right well with SO out of the total of
81, or something over 81 per cent.
There were four cases of hit-run
driving listed, one each of reckless
driving, second offense, and of oh
tanning license by false and untrue
statements.
voked for manslaughter were listed

Wonder if this is a bit of pro-elec-
ton propaganda, or pure presenta-
ton of facts:
Farm families will have more
money to spend next year." predicts
the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics and Home Economics. "This
increase will result from more net
cash for farm products, increased gov
eminent payments and larger income
from non-farm sources.
Despite the rousing, fighting speech
of Georgia's former Governor Eugene
Talmadge here today, expert obser-
vers are still confident that North
Cardinals tobacco farmers, at least,
will vote overwhelmingly for control
when the question is decided by the
December 10 referendum.
There isn't any such unanimity of
opinion regarding outcome Of the cot
ton referendum.
There's no such thing as getting
permit to carry a pistol all over the
state, according to Attorney General
Harry MCMILLAN. Your correspondent
was rather surprised to learn that
the only possible way to carry a pis-
tOl, on the person or in the automobile
into all sections, is to become a law
enforcement officer. The question was
asked of the attorney general at the
request of a newspaper man who does
a lot of lonely travelling and who
thought he'd feel better with a pro-
tective weapon for use in emergencies.

ing roles.
 New Comedy Streanllined
 Laurel and Hardy retain an amazing popularity in foreig n countries where they are among the top drawing cards. And Chap lin's films make the rounds again and again, some of them returning considerable money even four years after their original release.
 Many of the others who aided Sennett ip his productions have transferred to other lines of movie work. Several are directors. others script writers, some character actors while not a few have dropped from sight completely.
 True, there is a modernistic and streamlined character to what might be called the slapStick of today. Those who are most successful in such type of comedies are finished actors and actresses. Irene Dunne Constance Bennett William Powell and Myrna Loy are as good as any of the screen lulninaries playing to- day. But their art is not arty and they realize their debt to the pioneer times when Sennett and his troupe were helping to build up the modern movie industry.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-03-26

It might be that the movie fan is less concerned with the artistic than with having a chance to have good laugh and forget his trou- bles.
 Many of the rough-and-tumble tricks which were brought to the fore by Mack Sennett and his crowd in the old days still hold good. They may be presented to- day in modified form or be given more civilized veneer, but the same elements are present. The chase down the street, the chair which breaks down, the custard pie -1939 style-all these are still as sound as gags as they were 20 years ago
 But to return to the Sennett troups of two decades and more ago Among those who were men, bers were Charlie Chaplin, Slim Summerville, Laurel and Hardy, Louise Fazenda, and Harold Lloyd. These are the ones who have sur vived the years and are still in the limelight to a greater or lesser de- gree. Lloyd, since Chaplin's fu- ture efforts will probably be re- stricted to directing, if anything, rates as top boxoffice among the group. The others are all still

NEW YORK, March 26.--Revival of the methods of slapstick movie making so popular in the early days of the cinema calls attention to the evolution of the art and the fate of those who were associated with Mack Sennett when pie-throWing and such antics were at their height.
 During the past three or four months there has been a marked trenc toward the broad comedy which characterized the early at tempts of Hollywood to make the great American public laugh. The success of several recent movies which resorted to horseplay in spired producers to carry on the experiment.
 Sennett BlaZed Trail
 AS result there have been a succession of such efforts, including the popular Topper with Con- stance Bennett, the series starring Myrna Loy and William Powell, Bringing Up Baby" "Merrily We Roll Along" and others which de- pend for their humor on violence and slapstick situations.
 This might be due to a psycho- logical reaction to the depression.

CUT IN SCHOOL
BUDGET DRAWS
FIRE OF BALLOU

Effects of an inadequate budget
for education in the District of
Columbia fall upon "the boys and
girls" and not upon adults, it was
charged by Dr.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent of schools, in a
plea for more funds voiced last
night before the Petworth Parent,
Teachers Association.
Declaring local schools need
$50, 000, 900 more than has been ap'
propriated for them, DR.. Ballou
told the organization that a fight
to gain that amount will be made
during the next Congress. TO
achieve the goal, he said. the
schools must get 80 per cent OF
the District budget rather than
the present 26 per cent. He eX'
planned:
lone of the greatest calami-
ties ever visited upon the schools
of this city was the lowering OF
the tax rate from SITS to $3.50.
All during the depression we
have had less and less. One
hardly knows what to do when
such organizations as the Board
Of Trade petition Congress not
to increase the school budget.
I'VE have 500 fewer teachers
In relation to the school popula-
ton today than we had in 1927.
We asked for $40 new teachers
last year and got is in all.
