Federal, state, county and munich
pal road departments may go ahead
with their spring and summer con-

however, must file a monthly report

The pamphlet had nothing but the

Truth is the editorial is nothing

White collar workers are not sof-

These people who make faces or
figures for a living, who rattle at
typewriter or tabulator keyboards or
sketch whimsical characters for ami
mated cartoons, are discovering mus
cles they had long forgotten.

been talking of trimming production

tract provision year ago.

What VIII DeMiIe Do for Bathtubs?.-
That Washington order limiting
new construction to $4,000 a year
caused momentary panic among pro-
ducers who construct six to a dozen
new sets to picture. The producers
obtained assurance that the $4,000
could be confined to materials, not
labor
Then they went after ruling ap-
plying it to separate productions Now
they are hoping to have it interpreted
to limit individual sets in a produc
ton, with the bright hope that maybe
the picture industry should be ex-
empted altogether.

interesting angles. An office boy at
Paramount invested in 1928 Oakland
