MOVIE WEALTH
Ruth Roland I» said to be the richest of the movie
stars. This is the talk around Hollywood, where she
is believed to be worth a trifle of three million dol
lars. Ten years ago she was buying a $750 lot in
Lob Angeles on the installment plant—$10 down and
$10.00 a week. ... ,
A lot of the talk about the fabulous wealth ot
movie actors, of course, is press-agent bunk. But the
stars unquestionably are not on the road to the poor-
house, you’ll reflect as you ponder some of their
fervidences of wealth:
Mary Pickford and “Doug” live in a palace on an
estate at Beverly Hills, Calif., valued at $350,000.
Charlie Chaplin has a $100,000 home. Anita Stew
art’s Los Angeles home is worth $125,000, which she
rch'tf at $1,000 a month and lives in a bungalow.
What do they do with their money? The. richest,
Ruth Roland, is underrtood to prefer endowment in
surance, but the insurance people turn her down as
i "bad risk” on account of her dangerous stunts.
Tom Mix and Bill Hart own big ranches
Most of the stars say they have wisely sal leu their
surplus funds in reliable bonds. Mary Pickford i»
rumored to have a million and a half in Liberties.
Harold Lloyd, soon to be a millionaire, likes railroad
bonds. ,
The big incomes of the movie stars are made pos
sible by what business men. call “quantity produc
tion.” A picture can bo displayed simultaneously in
a thousand movie theaters, each spectator paying a
profit to the star, whereas even the greatest actress
on the legitimate stage is limited to audiences aver
aging onlv a few thousand paid admissions each.
Henry Ford works on a similar principle of quan
tity production. So do the phonograph makers, and
90 Wealth in the imovics, however, is a reflection of
the other phases 'of life—a very few got huge in-
comes, and there are the lures for the millions strug-
gling to reach the 3:ime goal. 1 ...
Foolish young girls without talent who lose their
mental balance when they read about the millionaire
movie stars rhould >«mcmber that where there,is one
wealthy star there are hundreds, or even thousands
of “supes” who are barely managing to get by—and
who never will get higher.
WHERE FEDERAL AID SAVED
■ • Wherever taken advantage of, Federal aid _has
saved the labor situation. In North Carolina, Fed
eral aid has wrought wonders for the state system of
good roads, while affording all those that wanted
work aplenty to do at good wages. There was not
folly work enough for all the home labor, but the big
road contracts had the effect of drawing labor from
Georgia and South Carolina. , _ ..
In these two states, Georgia and South Carolina,
the labor crisis is now very acute in .the boll weevil
infected areas. The mig. Won of the negrae» to the
northward Has been going on for a year or more and
still continues. In some of the counties in middle
Georgia where in normal times the cotton crop
amounted to many thoursnds of bales, it is now re-
ducedlto a few hundreds. This is iharacteristic of
some of the best cotton counties in Georgia.
North Carolina, paving spent one hundred million
in improving her roads, has supplemented this by an
expenditure of thirty millions more. The Federal aid
encouraged such ready states as North Carolina to
take time by, the forelock while slower states are
hemming and hawing and chewing the rag. The au
tomobile created the demand for hard surfaced and
graded rpads, but. the states would never have made
the progress they haiie, had there been no co-opera
tion; North Carolina stands ahead of all states in the
Union. 1 respecting goo4- road a ,_except only one'state,
and that is California.
. Republican leader:; of the standpat persuasion m
Congress and out, have in fhe main, thrown a wet
blanket over the good i‘oads idea. Now and then a
Progressive Republican has become enthusiastic over
the manifest benefits derived from good roads, but
heads, of committees in Congress have been slow to
act. The House commitec on roads had to be prod
ded and made to : tcp up by the Democratic members.
This chairman of that* influential committee has beqn
k hindrance rather lhaiv 11 help and seems bent on
Hiving an imitation of a lame duck.

Marathon dancing now sterns to be the latest
craze. Formerly it was a ,2 days walking match or
bicycle race. Jurt.wbat tfye idea teems to be is hard
to tel!. Such an exhibition must be even harder on
the spectators- than the dancers. However, Chicago
authorities seeqis to'have hit on the right ljne in hand
ling sdeh affairs. They decline to interfere if any olie
wants to dance themselves to death. Such a policy
will probably be more efficacious in putting a stop
to such performances than city ordinances or the use
of thd police force. If people want to dance them
selves' tt> death why ihould any one interfere?

is to be congratulated on hit
effort to abut off speculation
in sugar. It hat been shown
that millions have been made
by speculators when as a matter
of fact they did not have in their
possession as much as a pound of
sugar. Such tracing is. nothing
more or less than rrb*»«ry of the
public by such speculation, the
price of sugar Is forced up and the
consumer suffers the penalty of
some set of men enriching from
their schemes of rascality. The
government is not unreasonable in
its demands for the prosecution of
those engaged In such unlawful
dealings, but where good faith is
shown by speculators In sugar by
ha vine In their possession or under
their control a supply adequate to
meet requirements of such trans
actions, It will be considered by
those In authority to be purely
legitimate business. Our govern
