show the puny, stupid ways of men.
In the course of stating Swift's
bitter feeling for the folly of man
kind, Dave Fleischer's cartoon turns
out to be one of those inventive
affairs which shows just how limit
less is the scope of the camera when
it doesn't have to bother with the
limitations of human actors. Mr..
Fleischer and his artist crew have
let their imaginations run riot in
every direction. The result Is best
when it hilariously satirizes-pos-
sibly more by accident than design
the machine age and its gargantuan
tools. All of them, on Lilliput scale,
which makes them even funnier, are
utilized in the process of trusting
up the sleeping CULVER. Cranes,
derricks, steam shovels, HOSTS,
winches and a score of similar de-
vices figure in the Lilliputians' giant
project.
Mr.. Fleischer just let himself go
and the result is one that Swift
himself probably could approve.

On one of them sat Director Edwin

"Ready-go!" Marin pressed the

played the part of the Nazi consul
He took the latter job because the
right type could not be found and
every one involved was in haste to
get the production going. But even
if he took 1t well, as every one
agreed, he did not take in gracefully
for he gave up acting years ago to
become a director and his favorite
pastime is not being an actor.
His hope of eventually getting out
of the part is thin now to the point
Of fatal emaciation. What's more
he has received so many offers

his excellent work that every one
save himself has begun to think OF
him primarily as an actor.

he is going to do about it.

Erich Won Stroheim, the motion
picture actor and former director,
who has just returned from three
years in France, would like to revo-
lutionize Hollywood's working hours.
II would like to see the picture

says. The present schedule in gen.

THE work day starting at noon
is in effect in France and it is very
popular.

that If we gave it serious trial it

TELEPHONE TAXES

The state of Maryland, it's counties
and municipalities, collected during
1888 in taxes on the telephone bust
ness, about $1,64l,00O. The federal
government collected from the bust
ness and from users of long distance
messages 1926, 900 more. In effect tele-
phone users in Maryland paid Sc, 470,-
900 in telephone taxes, nearly 1914
cents out of every dollar paid for tele-
phone service.
In 1928 telephone taxes in Maryland
averaged $685. per subscriber, in
1888 about $14, an<increase of so per
cent.
These increasing taxes have a sub
stantial effect on the charges for tele.
phone service and are a retarding in.
fluence on the expansion of public
service that is essential to more and
more people.

days of service last year, less thar
fourth were paid in full, only a sixth
in part, and more than half received

service to both rich and poor, irrespec

"This problem can be approached

manity, or because we want to serve

Former Judge Robert F. Duer, mem
Der of the board with longest service
and Mr.. Gordy recalled how they wit
messed the laying of the cornerstone
for the present hospital building at
the turn of the century. "Those who
did that work have now passed on
Mr.. Duer said. "The new generation
has benefited from what they did, and
is a richer generation. It's response
bility is to take hold of the torch of
service that has been handed over to
it."
Mr.. Gordy, who said that the only
time he ever wore a silk hat was as a
youth at that ceremony, said that he
was planning to take long-overdue
two-fnonth's vacation next January
and February. "But this morning, u
he declared, 81 resolved that if ]
couldn't do my duty to the hospital
and still take that vacation I'd stay
home. If I can't do both-I'll give
Peninsula General Hospital and can
eel my vacation plans"
The hospital has no operating def
icit, indeed has been making a little
profit, he pointed out. every dollar
of it goes into improvement of the
hospital itself and it's equipment" he
continued. every dollar that the
public will give in this campaign will
help pay the actual cost of building
those two new wings and equipping
them"
The campaign committee, besides
himself and Mr.. Gunby, was announc-
ed as comprising William H. Nor
ton, honorary vice-chairman; Henry
w. Roberts, Col. VIM. B. Tilghman
and Pratt D. Phillips, vice-chairman;
Howard w. Ruark, treasurer; Lester
