BY BRUCE CATTON
The American people used to be pretty good at the
old job of detecting the presence of colored gentle
men in the woodpile.
It is to be hoped that this talent has not deserted
them.
We read that a great anti-radical campaign is to
be launched early in September. The junior Cham
ber of Commerce of Los Angeles will start the ball
rolling with a big meeting in Hollywood Bowl;
other places are expected to take up the torch, and
¢co-ordination of all anti-radical groups throughout
the lang is expected to result
Now all this comes under the head of a worthy
eause, surely. . . . And yet it is precisely in a cam
paign of this kind that it is most impori@nt to search
the woodpile carefully for lurking darkies.
You may remember some of the disclosures mad
a few vears ago when the Federa] Trade Commis
sion. was investigating the propaganda efforts of
the power trust. |
At that time i{ wds revealed that oné of the trust’s
publicity advisers, writing to another adviser, frankly
urged that they try to “pin the Bolshevik label” on
people who were campaigning for lower electricity
rates, public ownership, and so on.
It's an old gag, after all Yell “Red’’ at a man
long enough and you can persuade people to forget:
the man's actual accomplishments and ignore his
jogic; eventually you can get your chestnuts pulled
out of the fire for you very neatly indeed.
So before wst set to work to crack down on all‘
radicals, we ought to inspect the Woodpile pretty
carefully. We ought ta make sure—to change the‘
metaphor—that we are not reaching into any live
coals to retrieve somebody else’'s chestnuts, {
A campaign of this kind could be a cruel and ty
rannical thing, if followed blindly. . If there are
people in America who are trying to bring about a
bloody revolution, let's get after them, by all means.
But let's not permit ourselves to be fooled into
pinning that label on anybody and everybody who
Spongors a movement or a cause that threatens noth
ing but some selfish vested interest, |
A Youngstown (Ohio) man, driving his car while
police say he was under the influence of liquor, runs
down and kills four little girls who were walking
along an open highway. And if we needed any more’
proof of the adage that gasoline and alcohql don’t
mix, here it is—in tragic, terrible form.
We seem, so far, to be refusing to face the facts
in connection with repeal just as stubbornly as we
refused to face them in connection with prohibition
for so many years.
If we are going to have the open and legal sale of
intoxicants, we have simply got to fid some way
of keeping these intoxicants out of the people who
are driving automobiles.
Perhaps we need to increase the size of our traf
fic patrol ferces three or four-fold. Perhaps we need
to make our traffic code about five times as strict
ag it is now. Perhaps we need to submit to far
more stringent infringements on our personal liberty,
in connection with the use of autos, than we ever
had before. , s
Certain it is that we need something drasti¢. The
people of the country simply will not stand trage
dies like this one at Youngstown much longer.
If, as Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins once
remarked, an outbreak of strikes is a sign of recov
ery, we must be heading back toward prosperity at
a terrific clip. The strike vote which will egll out
half a million textile workerg on Sept. 1, unless scme
speedy adjustment be made, is only the latest in a
rapidly increasing list of bitter industrial disputes.
And whatever the significance of these strikes
may be, as regards recovery one thing is certain;
they are horribly expensive things for everybody
involved and they constitute a pretty heavy load
for our reviving industrial machinery to bear.
In spite of the NRA'g fine words we haven't found
vet a very efficient way of adjusting them or pre
venting them; and a discovery of that kind comes
close to being the most pressing need of* the day.
HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP |

HOLLYWOOD — She 1s 5 feet 4% _inches tall,
weighs 118 pounds, has blond hair and blue eyes.
Her educaticn includes two years at college. She
was born in the middlewest. Besides being self
supportig, she contgibutes to the support of her
mfi]y._ She yedrns for stardom, but has no illus
iond about being “discovered over night.” She plays
bridge and énjss's all outdoor sports. %
That's’ Sue Rainey. And it i more than she. It |
is a description of the composite girl of the 300 used
by Busgy Berkelgy in his spectacular screen musi¢al
numbers,
There probahly isn't a group of girls " the world
today as ftmous as the Berkeley chorus. They are
to the screen what the Ziegfeld beauties used%o be
to the stage. |
Of cowrse, that doesn’'t mean that all 300 girls
conform exuactly to those specifications, any morej
thin it means that any girl of such description could
find a place in the Berkéley chorus. Each girl is an
individual and is picked as such. Some are taller
‘thfin others. Some are brunets, some red-heads.
But it is t good idea of a girl who might go places
in pictures today, since quite & number of our young
er actresses have started ag chorus girls. Maybe by
next year the requirements will be totally different.
Who knows?

Randolph Scott and Vivian Gaye are being seen
laces again. A year ago plans called for them to
oin Cary Grant and Virginia Cherill in a double
edding ceremony. Then something Bappened and
Cary and Virginia had to go it alone, But appar
ently all is once more peaches and cream. ;
After five years of constant work, Wynne Gibson
finally is #aving the time of her life. She’s back
in New York again for the first time since she left
there in 1929.
Of course, she's making a_ picture which keeps
her tied down somewhat. But still. she has some
time to get together with her old friends.
And when the picture is finished, she’s going to
take a whole week to do nothing gut see shows and
play—even though studic executives here probably
will be screaming for her presence, since her next
film ig supposed to start in a coupte of weeks.
. Now that shooting has been finighed on “Thg Cap
tain Hates the Sea,” executives are considering
changing the tjtle to “Cabin 13.” And there ikn’t a
cabin number 13 anywhere in the picture.

LOTTERIES FOR CHARITY
Mayor La Guardia, of New York, has in
stituted a system of lotteries, from which
the receipts of the organization are expect
ed to absorb a great portion of the neces
sary funds for the support of objects of
charity during the winter months i that
city. Besides, the lottery will give employ
ment to several hundred persons who are
now unerivloyed. The plan seems to have
struck a nopular chord with the people of
that city and the expected receipts are est
imated to net the city at least $12,000,000
a year. In addition 40 per cent of the gross
income will be used for the payment of
salaries. 7 .
l The old Louisiana State lottery netted
'its owners and operators millions of dollars
jannually. In fact, the lottery grew to be
lone of the most powerful money making
| institutions in the United States. Finally,
'however, opposition arose to its gambling
feature and the legislators of that state
enacted a law prohibiting the operation of
lotteries in Louisiana,
In several of the states, lotteries are be
ing considered in order to meet the re
‘quirements of relief work. There has been
quite a discussion over the plan to legalize
a lottery for this state, to be operated and
controlied by the state. It would be a
money-making business, but whether the
people of Georgia are in a mood to favor
such scheme of money raising remains to
be seen. We are of the opinion, however,
that the time is not ripe for such an“‘insti
tution, and should such a bill be intro
duced, we believe that it would meet with
certain defeat.
Of course, the plan ‘is an easy way.of
making money, but are the people ready to
make money through a lottery, though the
proftis were to be used for relief and
charity work. .
REAL ESTATE AND RENTING
A recent report issued by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards shows
that a marked increase has come in the
renting of houses, apartments, stores and
office buildings. Rents have shown a sharp
increase and real estate has revived won
derfully. In fact, both renting and real
estate has taken on a lively upward move
all over the country, especially in the
South Atlantic States.
Discussing the report of the national
board. the Jaeksonville Times-Unoin com
ments as follows:
“Particularly pleasing to citizens of this
section of the country is the further fact
that, according to the survey, the South
Atlantic States—Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Mary
land, Delaware, West Virginia, anu the
District of Columbia, lead the country in
the return to a more active real estate
market," with 94 per cent of the cities of
all sizes showing increased activity.”
.Local conditions have shown great im
provement during the month of August
‘The renting agents here have received
more applications for houses and apart
ments than at any time in recent years.
lThe list of renting property is at a low
ebb, even at this time which is early in the
season for renters. Houses and store rooms
are being leased and many new citizens
'are planning to locate here. 1t is believed
that every residence and store room now
vacant will be rented before the first of
‘October, which is one of the best criterions
on which to judge the growth and devel
opment of a city and its prosperity.
A NEW USE FOR COTTON
A new discovery for the use of cotton
has been made by the members of the
board of the state highway department of
Texas. The news comes from Austin, and
states that the use of cotton mats for cur
ing the concrete to be laid on the highways
was prescribed in the contracts for four
major highway projects recently awarded.
The cotton mat requirement was inserted
in the contracts after a series of experi
ments which demonstrated that such cot
ton mats are superior to burlap mats or
coverings of dirt and sand in many re
spects. It is stated that the federal board
of public works also has authorized the
adoption of cotton mats in its projects.
It is stated that the cotton mat is a great
savings and has a greater wearing quality
which is about three times that of burlap.
One bale of cotton, according to this re:
port, is required to manufacure each mile
of mats. Besides it reduces the time for
curing the concrete from ten to six days;
that they more effectively «insulate freshly
laid concrete against heat of the sun re
quiring much less wetting than -burlap
mats and increase the flexual strength of
the finished road from 13 per cent by al
llowing the concrete to hold its moisture
uniformly,
| The new discovery is worthy of the con
sideration of the state highway commis
sioners in this state. Thousands of bales
of cotton could be used in the paving of
the roads. No doubt the Georgia commis
lsioners will investigate and give to the new
discovery a thorough investigation and
iconsideration.

A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
Wilbur Cox, an Athenian,
who has made good in the
comedy line of the legitimate
stage, is spending a few weeks
at his home, in this city, with
his sister, Mrs. William Peek.
Mr. Cox entered the theatrical
business in early manhood, and
through these years he has made
good as comedian in a number of
high class road attractions. Comic
opera and comedy roles were his
chief efforts in which line he met
with sueccess. During recent
months he has played with a num
ber of New York produétions, and
this fall he will go on the road in
his old line of work, that of play
ing comedy parts in a well known
musical comedy. His talents and
experience © fit him for feature
roles in which he has successfully
p]aye(T for the past several years.
The road show business,
however, has ween dwarfed
and absorbed by the high cost
of producing such attractions,
railroad fares, hotel bills, and
other necessary expenses.
In the early days of the road
shows, the railroads’ offered spec
ial rates; hotels gave these com
panies special rates, but in more
recent yedrs, all special privil
eges were withdrawn and regular
prices s required. A company of
fifty or sixty people, paying reg
ular railroad fare; regular prices
for hotel accommodations, runs up
an expense . account that requires
considerable income to meet, Pat
ronage of the legitimate theaters
dropped off and now only a few
road and stock companies remain.

HILARIOUS COMEDY
AT PALACE MONDAY
“Friends of Mr. Sweeney"’
Stars. Charlie Ruggles
And Ann Dvorak
“Friends of Mr. Sweeney,” the
Warner Bros, picture which is
based on the hilarious comedy by
Elmer Davis, will play at the
Palace Monday.
The picture is said to_be one
of the most riotously funny films
to come to the screen in many a
day. Certainly the situation of a
meek mouse of a man turning in
a night into a ferocious lion, a
devil with the ladies, and the ter
ror of the town, is unique enough
to lead any number of laughable
sequences.,
The mouse’s miraculous change
is inspired to a large extent by
love, although liquor and the
goadings of an old pal contribute
their share. Thrills are siSlied
in a whirlwind climax in which
the mouse;, now become a lion,
rounds up a. band of ecrooks and
compels his domineering and
hypocritical boss ‘to buckle to his
will,
Charlie Ruggles has the leading
role with Ann Dvorak furnishing
the romantic part of 'the story.
