Thumbing the blue books, the lords
of Hollywood discovered to their
amazement that there was nothing
new about Cummings. He was a
typical Hollywood football. He had
been "in pictures" but had been
kicked around the lots for nearly
four years. Part of that time he
was under contract to Paramount,
where he played youthful heavies
and secondary leads in unimportant
movies. A couple of months ago,
that studio passed his option.
The Cummings case is no rarity
out here, as 1895 imposing array Of
comebacks will prove. At least half
a dozen fine actors and actresses
consigned to celluloid graveyards
have risen in the first quarter OF
the current year to confound their
old bosses. Probably no other like
period in recent screen history has
witnessed so many once-important
personalities populating the come
back trail.
Early in the year, Ann Sothern,
dropped by RKO and passed up by
all other lots, dropped bombshell
among the producers through scin-
tillating comedy performance in
Trade Winds" Ann stole first act
ing honors from Frederic March and
Joan Bennett, and now is back on a
spot where she can sort the offers.
John Wayne's return was more
sensational. Nine years ago, Fox
launched a blatant publicity cam
paign about him, first serving him
to the public in costly Western
epic, "The Big Trail" The picture
sputtered into a costly hop and
WAYNE took dive along with it.
But, on the strength Of the publicity
he had gained, Wayne managed to
keep going-as cow opera hero lii

that certain officials of Garrett county
are interested in bond issue for the
county and we are also happy to say
that these officials will not get to first
base because your representatives and
your Senator will neither introduce
nor vote for a bond issue of any
amount under present circumstances.
A bill calling for drastic change in
the magistrate system Of the State has
been introduced and is gaining much
favor. The proposed change would give
Garrett county one magistrate who
would handle all the work now being
done by magistrates in each election
district Of the county. This chief and
only magistrate, would receive $500
per year and would have a constable
assigned to his office who would re-
ceive 5000 a year. Status Of present

typical of the stupidity of some of
Maryland's legislators. He proposes
that the office of the State Employ
ment Commissioner be eliminated and
in his place to substitute a three-man
political board. Mr.. Harry c. Jones,
who holds this office, has worked hard
and faithfully in the public interest.
He has done everything in his power to
maintain the standards Of the States
civil service and his is one Of the de-
partments which has aroused rela-
lively little criticism. The net effect of
Mr.. Whites phony scheme would be to
put the States civil service neck deep
in politics. Yes, Mr.. Jones is Repu5-
lican. The Evening Sun says: This is
a bad bill"
Through the political grapevine we
learned late tonight that the entire
Garrett county delegation will be in
Oakland this weekend where they will
discuss the financial situation of the
county with various county officials.
Let's hope that this confab will be
more on business basis than those of
recent weeks.

WHO OWNS A COMPANY?-

A typical American company re-
Gently set about finding out who its
owners are. 1t had known, of course,
that the company president was no
more the sole owner than is the Pres
ident of the United States the sole
owner of the country he administers.
The company learned it is owned by
average citizens, living average lives,
investing their money in average COM
panies because they have faith in
American industry and the American
plan of producing wages and dividends
from honest work and honest pro-
ducts.
Many persons might be called indi-
rect shareholders. They enjoy returns
without actually owning stock of the
company. 1t comes about, for example,
through them having insurance poll
cies on their lives, or homes, or places
of business issued by insurance COM
panies that are part owners through
shareholdings in the average compa-
ny. Such investments of paid insurance
premiums safeguard the ultimate pay
ment of an insurance policy. Thus
each policy holder benefits directly by
the advance of the companies in which
the insurance company has its invest
ments. The same is true of those hold
ing shares in investment trusts. Like
wise, this may be said of those using
the faculties of universities, hospitals
and clinical foundations. These insti-
tutions keep going on the earnings of
their endowments, realized from hold
ings in stocks Of average American
companies. Partnerships in estates are
another example.
A breakdown of stockholders of this
average company showed that 1890 Of
them are men. Some are wealthy. More
are not. Then, there are 4,084 women
mothers, wives, sisters, daughters
sweethearts, widows, women who are
in business for themselves, teachers
secretaries, clerks, office managers
doctors.
Thus an average American com
pany is owned mostly by ordinary cit.

of life. But as the result of the owner.
