Rowe, Vic<9 President 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. » A FOOLISH FAD 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? DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Little olj Every thing And Not Muck of Anything.

Attorney General Daugherty 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.
