to look this present aspect in
the face without the aid Of trick
mirrors. When all camouflage,
propaganda, and Subterfuge are
removed one sees the plant, not
as a rose, but as a mere skunk
cabbage. This Is to say that
Ole Man "Unearned Increment"
is very nearly as extinct as the
dodo. Our leaders are trying
their hardest to breathe life
into that mummy: are trying
always to make millions out OF
a defunct economic zero. When
they realize they can't, possibly

Once this country blew up
its credit resources in a decade
what would have taken Europe

at a premium we have gone sour
on production. Without pro"
duction there is no wealth. We
want production for Mr.. Every

We can't get it because Mr..

moribund mountebank once
known as Ole Man Unearned

refused absolutely TO leave the
car. But when she jumped out,
.reeling slightly, and declared
that she would go in alone I
had perforce to accompany her.
Someone among the four who
remained produced a bottle and
glasses and they declared their
willingness to wait.
7 WAS sure we would not be
l. admitted but the monk at
the door smiled a welcome and
prepared to escort us to a pew.
I whispered to him that we were
not of his religion and that I
would prefer that he tell us to
be on our way. But he said he
was well aware we were not at
present Of any faith and for
that reason, as well as because
of our condition. we were doubly
welcome. And so we went in.
There is no roof to the little
church in San Juan Capistrano
and the glory Of the red and
blue sky of a California Septem"
Der morning was spread above
us. From where we sat we could
see the bell swinging, soft-toned,
in the ruined belfry. The monks
were filing into the chancel.
Without a proper grip on my"
self it was strange that I
should be reminded Of half-for-
gotten schoolboy lines Of Chau-
Ger:
IT'LL that bell Of Laudes gan
to ring.
"And friarS in the chancel
went to sing"
We two were the only occu-
pants Of the nave and it seemed
natural to believe that the mass
was for uS-and only us: that
the beautiful Gregorian chant
from the chorus Of 60 was a par
ticular plea to the Almighty for
a pair of foolish youngsters who
had wandered into His house
without an invitation but were
doubly welcome just because Of
that.
r KNOW that I was on, my
= knees, as clumsily as the girl
knelt gracefully. I know that I
went out into the clear cold
morning air with q definite re.
solve to try to be a better man.
And then the girl, cold sober
now, touched me on the arm and
asked me tell our companions
to go home.
"Get them away from here"
she whispered. go with them
if you want to. Or wait if you
want to. It doesn't make any
difference. I'm going back in
there. They've got to tell me
things"
T SENT the others away-and
= I sat for hours by the road
side waiting for her. She came
out at last with the old monk
who had ushered us into the
ruined church. I got a cab from
La Jolla and drove her back to
Hollywood. I asked no ques-
lions for I felt that they would
be an impertinence.
But I do know that she was
received into the faith of the
Catholic Church a few weeks
later-and 7 also know that her
faith since then has never
wavered.

The Plays The Thing

All this about the movie stars
losing their box-office appeal Is
poppycock. Producers should
tighten up on the stories. The

stories. Make pictures true to

If love pictures must be made,
make them interesting - and

The film drama opens with a
brilliant scene in the house of
Mary of Magdala. Here the ell
alteration of luxury is used to
mark the contrast with the
Magdalene's shame and repent
ance when she fins herself face
to face with Christ. She has
gone to him to win back her
lover, Judas, the betrayer. She
remains to become one of the
most faithful and devoted OF
Jesus followers.
The character of Judas, the
miracles, the betrayal, in fact
every scene in poignant drama
is so ably portrayed by the
huge cast that one is transport
ed to new heights by the film.
H. B. Warner, the famous
character player, was CHOSEN
for the difficult part of the
Christ and seldom does an act
or carry such a difficult role
to the excellence which MI.
Warner achieves.
Mary, the Mother is played
by Dorothy Cumming and this
lovely character seems even
greater by her sensitive protray-
al.
The entire supporting cast is
made up of some of the great
est names of the motion picture
world and due credit must be
given to that remarkable art
ist and director Cecil B. DeMille

Some folks keep pointing at
the bankers and blaming them
for everything, like even chlnch
bugs, ETC.; but you know, they
are not such a bad LOTT you
once know 'em, and don't hap
pen to owe them anything. But
the ones I know, they are just
cashiers and presidents, ETC.
and not vice-preSldentS so
maybe that has something to
do with it.
But anyway, bankers, they
have been in the dog-house.
But our Govt, which is find
ing fault with bankers, If it
would run it's business with one
half the gumption that the
bankers use, we would not all
need to lay awake nights Won
dering what is going to happen
next, to upset the applicant.
The bankers, they stick to
money, like a shoemaker, he
sticks to shoes. But our Govt,
it spends most of it's time act
ing as if nobody else knew
beans, and it must look after
everybody like we are 2-year-
olds-like Mr.. Hitler in Europe,
he thinks he is Napoleon, and
runs everything.

They say, in fact, that the dual
price idea was never given very
serious thought. That is con-
trary to the understanding of
most of the Washington cores
pondents, who, before the cleo
ton, had been shown elaborate
details of the plan that would
have made the average income
family pay more for food,
clothes, etc., than the reliefers
and low income families would
pay.
consensus among the news
writer's is that the scheme will
be shelved simply because pub
lie opinion seems to be running
toward stimulation of private

than to more economic plan
ming.

EDITORIAL

into the spirit of Thanksgiving
How many of us really offer our
sincere thanks for the things
we have instead of just taking
a holiday and Stuffing ourselves
with delecacies.
We in America have lots to
be thankful for today. Among
the many things is the fact that
we are not at war with any ma
ton nor are we ruled by a Hit
Ter or a Mussolini. We have the
right of free speech and press
and we can still vote any way
I'VE choose.
There are a hundred other
things we should be thankful
for, so let us observe Thanks
giving AS it was intended to be
observed-by offering thanks.
We understand the diaries
and the saloons did a land Of
flee business for a couple of
days last week when the water
tasted so queer. And too, the
chlorine may have bleached out
the insides of some of the yell
low livered rascals that we have
among us.
Home comings are happy
times for everyone but gayeSt
of all are those that re-unite
the family at Christmas time.
With the approaching holiday
festivities at hand, mothers
and fathers r busy planning
surprises to gladden. the hearts
of their boys and girls. All about
the home is the delightfully."-
mysterious air of Christmas sec
rets.
Soon many of our nations
young people will be leaving
schools and colleges to enjoy
Christmas at home. They will
bring with them a knowledge Of
new things, and many of them
will be able to tell their par
entS that they are in the best
of health. Thousands can
proudly say that they passed a
perfect physical examination,
and that the doctor congratula-
ted them when they took the
tuberculin test and showed no
sign of infection.
No news should thrill the
hearts of parents like this news
beca us tuberculosis today
claims more victims between the
ages of 1925 than any other
disease. That is why we need
periodic %tuberculin tests for all
our young men and women, but
especially for young women in
this age group, for their death
rate is exactly one and one
half times greater than that for
young men of the same age.
Scientists have not yet learned
the reason for this tragic diff
ference, but we have it to face.
Our newer knowledge of tuber-
culoSiS weapons now includes
the tuberculin test and the x
ray which discover the early
case, unsupported case in time
for successful treatment and
cure. Thus young men and
young women can live long and
useful lives. The purchase of
Christmas Seals which go on
sale November "a, aids in build
ing better health for our ma
TONS youth. Christmas Seals
help to make the Christmas
season healthy as well as happy.
