STATE

Performances this evening at the healthfully air conditioned Warner Bros. State theater conclude the en- agreements of '"The Sun Never Sets" with Basil Rathbone and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., in the leading roles, also the outstanding comedy, 'The Kid from Kokomo" with Pat O'Brien, Wayne Morris, Joan Blondell and May Robson.
 Starting tomorrow by special re- quest the State brings back to its screen a revival of the picture that made Academy Award winner Bette Davis great dramatic star and 8 picture that everyone should see, "Of Human Bondage"
 This production is judged as one of the greatest of all screen dramas and is based on the famous novel of the same name by w. Somerset Vaughan.
 Many have termed this as Miss Davis greatest performance and here is a great opportunity for local theatergoers to compare it with her later roles.
 Appearing opposite Miss Davis is no other than the popular Leslie Howard who also scores in this pro- duction. He is cast as a medical stu dent who is painfully conscious of the limp which sets him apart from other men. Sensitive and idealistic, he be- comes the victim of a cheap and un- scrupulous woman who takes his love, enslayes his soul, and spends his money, repaying him with Scorn and unfaithfulness.
 So powerful is her hold upon him that, even as his manhood reproach- es and mocks him, he taxes her back again and again when others have cast her off or extravaganza has left her destitute.
 Miss Davis plays the highly im- portant role of this girl; and Kay Johnson and Frances Dee are other faminine figures in the pictures ab- ing male supporting roles are played sorbing romantic patetrn, and lead- by Reginald Denny, Alan Hale, Reg inald Sheffield and Reginald Owen.

 Here is the picture you've been waiting to see. It is brimming with the songs that thrilled us years ago, som of the finest dancing you've ever seen and a heart-gladd measure of comedy, drama and sentiment you'll love to see.
 The Castle Walk. the Castle Waltz, the Texas Tommy. the Tango and the Maxixe. are among the more spectacular of the dance routines as interpreted by Astaire and Rogers. and you haven't really seen this ia. nous pair dance until you've seen them perform in this picture.
 Co-featuring this program will be the exciting film Boy Friend star ring the miscieyous Jane Withers with Arleen Whelan. Richard Bond and George Ernest. Plan to see this great show at the strand starting "Wednesday.

The people who want to obtain goods have to have money to ex- change for those goods. That money is their money income. The material things which I make constitute my natural income.
 Money receive for my work, or in any other way, constitutes my money income. use my money m- come to buy the natural income produced by others. This is the first important fact to keep in mind. MONEY INCOME"
 IS PURCHASING POWER
 We know how goods are produced. But how is money income produc- ed? Because that is at the bottom of all our trouble. We know how to produce plenty of goods. but appar- ently we do not know how to pro- duce enough money income to en- able Us all to buy what is produced.
 The answer is simple. Just ask yourself where your money income comes from. It comes from your work. Some man or corporation running a business or factory pays you to work for him in producing goods. To produce goods he has to spend money in various ways-for rent, for interest, for raw materials, for wages, salaries, etc.
 These expenditures are called the costs of production. But these costs of production which he spends are really money payments which go out into the hands of other people. These money payments are their money income. The money income of the nation is the sum total of all these money payments paid out as part of the cost of producing goods.
 Therefore money income is pro- duced in precisely the same place as goods. The factory that pro- duces goods also produces money income. The money incomes pro- duced in all the factories and other enterprises in the United States con- stitute the purchasing power avail- able to buy the goods produced in those factories.
 MONEY INCOME
 MUST BE ACTIVE
 Very often, when factories pro- duce more than they can sell, the owner thinks he can correct things by suspending production. That will put an end of increasing the goods

and so, he thinks, the money in- come produced will catch up with the goods.
 But what he overlooks is that when you close a factory you not only stop producting goods but you also stop producing money income.
 So the great problem of the na- tion is to produce and keep on producing money income in suffi- cient quantities to buy the goods produced. And to keep the money income active.
 How is that to be done? Econom- ist understand -fhis. It is merely necessary to make administrators and politicians and business men understand it. The one way-and this is the central idea of our whole economy-is to keep all our money income in flow by keeping private investment active. Why is this so?
 The reader will easily see how this works. When he gets his salary he spends most, if not all of it. But
