THE PASSING OF THE HORSE
‘ AND MULE
The apparent passing of the horse and
mule has caused much concern on the
part of the Horse Association of America.
It is stated that a few years ago, a Ten
nessee farmer shot five jennets to save
their feed bill. Another farmer bought
nineteen head at $2.50 to $5.00 each, and
slaughtered them for their hides. How
ever, three years later a jack in that com
munity sold for SSOO.
In this section, the muie business has
shown signs of a comeback. More mules
were sold last fall than has been sold in
the past several years. More farms are
being cultivated and the demand for
mules, especially, has been on the upward
trend. It is true, of course, that the auto
mobile and improved farm implements‘
have substituted the use of mules and‘
horses for farm business and pleasure.
usages, but after all, the mule’s part in
agricultural pursuits will be hard to dis
pense with, :
THE TUNG OIL INDUSTRY
The development in the tung oil indus
try has grown at a rapid rate for the past
few years. Georgia and Florida have been
the leading states in the cultivation of
tung groves and nuts, but other southern
states have entered the field of competi
tion, Mississippi, prineipally, has taken a
lead in the indusiry, shipping a carload
of nuts to Gainesviile, Florida for manu
facture into oil.
The railroads of the countrv are co
operating with the growers in the various
sections of the country. They see in the
tung oil industry one of the most valuable
that has been developed in recent years.
The Illinois Central system has shown a
splendid spirit of cooperation with the
growers in Mississippi. This railroad be
lieves that with the rehabilitation of idle
or waste land for planting tung oil trees,
the State of Mississippi will soon become
one of the important states in the growth
of tung oil trees and the production of
nuts.
Georgia growers of tung oil trees have
not been backward in their efforts to de
velop the industry. In fact, this state is a
pioneer in the industry, being the first to
undertake the planting. of trees and prove
that tung oil trees and nuts could be suc
cessfully grown in the South,
ELIMINATION OF GRADE CROSSINGS
The death toll of grade crossings ap-!
pear to increase rather than decrease con
sidering the large number of such cross
ings that have been eliminated. At the
present time there are 234,178 in the
United States. In 1926, there were 233,-
701 grade crossings on Class 1 railroads,
but last year there were 234,178—an in
crease of 477 crossings.
Grade crossings multiply as rapidly as
do flies in the summer season. When it
is believed that the flies have been clear
ed from the home and the kitchen, it usu
ally develops that the number has in
creased. Such is the record of increased
grade crossings. However, the federal
government and the various states with
the cooperation of the railroads have
eliminated thousands of grade crossings
during the same period in which there
was a net increase of 477 grade crossings,
14,476 were eliminated.
The cost of eliminating all grade cross
ings in this country would run into high
figures, the estimate made by engineers
shows that it would require an expendi
ture of $16,000,000,000. But with such
an expenditure, the nation could wel] af
ford to spend the money in order to free
the people from the thousands of hazard
ous risks to which they are exposed.
KIDNAPING RACKET ESTOPPED
Chief J. Edgar Hoover, of the Depart
ment of Justice, has rendered a splendid
service to the people of this nation by
successfully estopping the crime of kid
naping. In speaking of the work of his
department, Mr, Hoover, said: “Kidnap
ing is well in hand in America. We have
made it unhealthy and unprofitable for
the kidnapers”. That much is true; the
nation has not had a major kidnaping
since the Weyerhauser case last year. Of
the 62 kidnaping cases since the Lind
have been solved.
The law enforcement agencies of the
federal government have borne down on
the criminals and few of them have made
their escape or kept out of the clutches
of the law. The chief feature of the work
of the law enforcement department of the
government has been the determination
on the part of the officers to arest, coi
vict and have sentences imposed of suf
ficient penalities as to impress criminals
with the understanding that no “‘racket”
in crime wil’ pass muster before the
courts.
I'he kidnapimg racket had grown to be
a profitable industry before the enact
ment of the Lindbergh law and before the
Department of Justice adopted a policy
for the breaking down of such criminal
organizations as once existed in the large
cities of the country. Mr. Hoover has
not dilly-dallied with criminals. but he
has put them on notice, that if they are
caught, they will be tried and every ef
fort will be made by the officers to con
viet and to secure penalties of an impres
sive character.
The Mount Rushmore memorial carv
ing in the Black Hills of South Dakota
is being done mostly by blasting. This
method is used down to within an inch of
the finished surface. 3

IN HOLLYWOOD
WITH PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service 'Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD. — The person
who has appeared in more mo-
tion pictures than anybody else
in he worldt is Miss Sarah
Schwartz.
That's no gag. Miss Schwartz
is an actregs, and a contract play
er at that, though her name never
has been in lights on a theater
marquee, Come July 19, 1936, she
will have been in Hollywood 19
vears and will have appeared in
every picture made by Universal
Studios in that time. No other
performer, however brillianta star,
can approach such a record of
activity.
There's a gtory behind it, of
course:
Fire started in a cutting room
one day in 1917, and the crew
came out of there like people flee
ing from Hades. Miss Schwartz
happened to be on hand. She
heard there were some valuable
reels in the room, so she went
in and got them. She was severe
ly burned.
Carl Laemmle heard about it
and announced that she would
have a job so long as there was
a Universal Studio. And so she
has.
For years she was classified as
an extra, but on call for every
picture whether or not they really
needed her type. All those sepa
rate jobs entalled a lot of futile
bookkeeping, so they gave hera
contract,
~ Grew Up on Stage
The years have built false leg
.ends around Sarah. Most of Hol
lywood believes she originally
was a cutting room employe, that
she has ‘no talent, and that she
works only in mob scenes. Fact
is. she never was anything but an
actress from the time when, a lit
tle girl, she went on the stage in
Denver. She still plays in Yiddish
drama on the stage hereabout.
“When I got in the business
here,” recalled Miss . Schwartz,
“Irving Thalberg was an office
boy in the New York office, King
Vidor wag working in the cutting
room for §3O a week, and Mpther
Laemmle used to ask me t, keep
an eye on Junior (now g produ
cer) top see that he didn’t climb’
around the cets and hurt himself.
Have You Heard Her?
“Mostly I've done bits, some-|
times 'just high-class atmoephere:‘?;
and I've had some really-gooé]
parts. I got screen credit in ‘The
Bride of Frankenstein.’ I do dia=

she screamed? That . was me
sereaming. e I
“A New York reviewer said,
‘Only an actress possessed of Miss
Fox's emotional ability could
scream with such feeling’ —or
something like that. It gave me
a laugh, me being just a_ ham.
“What gave me the Dbiggest
laugh was ‘Nagana.' That was a
picture Ernest Laemmle directed,
and T didn’'t appear in it. He went
around bhoasting about being the
only Universal director who ever
made a picture without Sarah
Schwartz in it. They had to break
it to him gently that I was the

Mcdel for Hollywood
Miss Schwartz is unmarried.
“I've been too -busy screaming to
get married,” said Miss Schwartz.
“You can e&ay, too, that Miss
Schwiartz doesn’t smoke and
never had a drink in her life. That
is something, for 19 years in Hol
lywood! i
“Maybe I could say somethin‘gl
nice for the papers obout Uncle
Carl (Laemmle). 1. would _ lay
down my life for Uncle Carl. I
lost my mother three years ago)

A Three Days’ Cough
Is Your Danger Signal
A cough, chest cold or bronchial

trouble tomorrow. You can relieve
them now with Creomulsion, an
emulsified Creosote that is pleasant

discovery that aids nature to soothe
and heal the infected membrancs
and to relieve the irritation and
inflammation as the germ-laden
phlegm is loosened’ and expelled.
Medical authoritics have for
many years recognized the wonder

for treating coughs, chest colds and
bronchial irritations. A chemist

land. After all, birth is an old
feat. Reproduction on a large
scale has nothing but sheer phy
sical stamina to plead its case.
More and more civilized people
are realizing that the number of
their children should be determined
by the amount of money which they
can afford to invest in care and
education. A child who is given
proper equipment for living will
be a -benefit to society just as a
child who 'is handicapped may
prove a burden. The winner of the
marathon certainly will be able to
take care of her family.
The runners-up, unless they are
wealthy people, which isn’t likely
in most cases, are apt to have more
children on their hands than they
had bargained for when they took
their vows.
Big familieg are fun. Any man
or woman reared in a houseful of
rollicking brothers and sisters,
takes pleasure in recounting the

it is too bad that so much of
happiness depends on financial

NOT long ago I was like some friends I
have...low in spirits. ..run-down. . .out of
sorts. . .tired easily and looked terrible. I knew
I had no serious organic trouble so I reasoned
sensibly. ..as my experience has since proven...
that work, worry, colds and whatnot had just
worn me down.
The confidence mother has always had in
S.S.S. Tonic...which is still her stand-by when
she feels run-down...convinced me I ought to
try this Treatment...l started a course...the
color began to come back to my skin...l felt
better...l no longer tired easily and soon I
felt that those red-blood-cells were back to so
called fighting strength...it is great to feel
strong again and like my old self. @s.s.s.Co.

mestic consumption within any
class of food commodities.”’
Food Figures Vary Little
Average food consumption per
capita for the 10-year period men
ticned was apout 1,460 poéunds.
This figure hasn't varied =veatly.
It was 1,422 pounds for*&l‘ré 1920~
24 period, 1,474 pounds for the
1925-29, and 1,454 for 1930-33.
The principle established by the
amendment is no new one, but
until now it has appeared that the
leaders of farm organizations—in
cluding some who might be per
fectly willing to create artificial
and unprecedented scarcities to
boost prices high—would be able
to block attempts to enact it into
legislation.
Dr. Calvin B. Hoover, as con
sumers’ counsel for AAA, first es
poused the principle and the fignt
for it was continued by his suc
cessor, Donald K. Montgomery.
Secretary Wallace himself came
out for it last year and an at
tempt was made to get it into last
session’s AAA amendments—ui
successfully, thanks to farm lead
ers.
Feared Political Effect
President Kd O'Neal of the Am
erican Farm Bureau Federation
attacked the Wagner amendment
on the eve of the senate vote and
farm-state senators supported
him almost unanimously.
But the administration’s desire
for consumer protection was rein
forced by growing realization
that successive defeats of the
Wagner and McCormack amend
ments might be bad political med
icine and could be used as effec -
tive Republican propaganda in
cities.
Thanks to AAA and the drouth,
retail food prices have advanced
25 percent since 1933 and al
though farmers are - better off,
many city consumers have felt
the pinch and reacted bitterly.
The McCormack amendment
also contains a provision reimnis
cent of the old AAA parity price
goal which was inserted to square
things with the farmers. i
This directs the secretary, as
rapidly as he deems practicable
and in the public interest, to re
establish at the 1910-14 level the
ratio between the purchasing
power of the average income per
person on farms to the purchas
ing power of the average income
per person in the non-farm pop
ulation.
