It Is not necessary to explain
your choice. You just put a check
on the ballot like the Socialists who
used to vote for Eugene Debs and
that's that. If the vote doesn't get
your choice anywhere, neither did
the votes for Debs. What's more it
wasn't so hot on the days people
were voting for Debs which should
have made them more responsible
for their choice than a mere col
umnist just trying to get his work
done.
In a poll like Mr.. Ramsaye's you
can vote with complete abandon
and it hurts no one. On the BIS,
for instance, there is Julie Bishop.
II you wanted. you could put an X
by jules name. The fact that you
never saw Julie would not neces-
sarily be a restraint. Maybe she
was wonderful in those two pic
lures, IT Was Framed" and Lady
Gangster," both of which eluded
this department, or vice versa. You
could vote for her just on the

Miss Ada Nixon, who fills up the
rest of this column with the follow
ing letter:
Aren't you little too severe in
your views regarding The Mag
nifcent Ambersons?' I would say
bravo instead of tut, tut.
TT Is the only period picture
which makes any attempt to show
faithfully the hair styles of the
time it represents. Many and many
a film play has been spoiled by the
temerity of the. director who ap-
parently is afraid to dictate to the
star and lets her appear in the dress
of years ago while her hair is ar
ranged in the very latest mode.
Witness Nancy Kelly in the Jesse
James play and Vivien Leigh in
Gone With the Wind"
Miss Leigh wore her hair loosely
in net according to the prevailing
mode; in Godey's Ladys Book the
cignons are tightly coiled and then
a net placed over them.
Tn my opinion, The Magnificent
Ambersons' is the best period play
ever sent out of Hollywood. 1t may
be rather slow and cumbersome in
but its artistry is
superb and its accuracy in the de-
tails I have mentioned are beyond
question"
So tut, tut for us, tsp.

Lingo of the Sea

Without doubt the Mayflower was the first ship that ever crossed the Atlantlc with passengers and crew who did not cuss and curse all the way. Those good men and women who landed at Plymouth were very religious, and when they set up their government William Bradford was chosen to be Governor. This famous event in New World history is significant, because Gershem Bradford, ninth lineal descendant of Governor Bradford has compiled a new and revised edition ot Glossary of Sea Terms"
 The book, from Al, the highest clas- sification given to vessel by Lloyd's and other insurance organizations" to "zulu, a Scotch lug-rigged fishing boat, doesn't include a naughty word. or course the volume would be thicker Ii It deviated into commonplace But like the Mavflower voyagers every word IS relg- iously defined to give of this ana otner days, the exact language of the sea- which the author calls "the lingo ot sall- ormen."
 The girls of today will be surprised to find that the definition: "Llpper, IS small sea coming over the rail" Modern sportfolks will be disappointed to ma "Rollers are just plain swells." San- OTIS Blessing is curse" "Shlver releIS to bringing vessel into the wind until the sails shake" Sweat takes all the slackness from sails by heavy pull on Sheets or halyards" Weather is the point from which the wind blows"
 The Glossary is interesting and read, able and the volume is as different ana distinct from all other dictionaries as the Atlantic Monthly is from pulp magazines Captain Gershom Bradford and his Amer ican ancestors have been sons of the sea; He has brought his argosy to Happy Hlll in Washington-and he does more than his bit every day in the week.

would be needed to provide each $1.O0 of desired increase in net income. What is true of these telephone companies IS true of other service industries. A fact that should not be overlooked is that ruinous taxation of industry amounts to drive toward socialism. If industry is bled white by taxes, it will have to borrow money from government for necessary expenditures. Then gov ernment will become part owner - which could easily be followed by com plete government acquisition.
 There is vast difference between in- dustries which are financially benefiting from war and which can at once adjust their prices and charges to changing conditions - and industries which are not benefiting from war and whose rates are regulated. That difference must be taken fully into account in our tax policy if we are to maintain private enter prise in this country - and if the millions of ''little" people who have invested their savings in industrial securities are to be protected from tax confiscation of their savings

The Fear of Imitation

Long before the war began the Admin, istration and Congress and the general public began to discuss the dangers ot ln- flation. In recent months the subject has narrowed down to two schools or thought: a. That price control under dl- rection of the President and his Admin istrator would lick the danger. b. That is would fail
 The Federal Reserve Boards orders regulating general terms of credit cover ing current purchases and installmeelnt buying was another plan. Of course the sale of Government bonds and securities was the most important part of all the program. At the top of the list there stlll remains the controversial problem or stabilizing wages al ] farm prices. These issues escaped legislation by Congress,
 According to the best information oo- tainable in Washington new economic stabilization authority" may be given su- preme authority to demand and enforce prices over all classes of merchandise, as well as wages and farm prices. The dis turbing news is - that imitation is just around the corner and that action by the Administration and by Congress must be put into effect within the next 30 days.
