COLUMBUS MAN HEADS TRUCKERS’ ASSOCIATION Columbus, Neb. — »». - I O EVERYONE, HEIGK-0 Houston, Tex.—One always pic (•res a man that is constantly in rieht as a worried, harassed-looking their ability or lack of it, to satis fy them—and not with machinery and systems. Not wages but wage earners, not price but buyers and sellefs, not taxes but taxpayers, not debts and credits but debtors and creditors are the real factors in the problem. It is this fact that makes it so serious. No one as yet seems to know what is wrong, but whatever it is, it has been demon strated that it has been beyond the power of mass production to prevent or cure. There is nothing wrong with production on a large scale. Criticism should be directed not against it, but rather against those who so foolishly expected from it what it could not possibly perform, and counted on it as a sure shield against panic. PRUDENT GET THEIR REWARD They Are the “Rich” Congress Now Talks About Soaking From the Baltimore Tvening Sun Paudent people are people who refuse to indulge in the wild spend ing orgy that prevaled in the days of prosperity. They did not try to keep up with the Jonses, but in stead substituted oranges for grape fruit at breakfast except on Sun day or when company came. They got their cream off the top of the milk bottle and went in for prune deserts. When they went on motor trips they did not stop at some nice and expensive tearoom, but took their lunch with them. And at summer resorts they engaged rooms without baths that were on the third floor and did not have a view of the mountains or the sea. They did not fritter away their money on Jewelry or cosmetics or send their daughters to costly fin ishing schools. If they bought fur coats they bought them when they were marked down, and when they had to go to a place they did not call a taxi, but went in a street car Instead. They did not under take to purchase a house in an ex clusive suburb and pay for It Just like rent, nor did they Join a lot of clubs and become involved in the purchase of desirable objects on nit- uticrreu-paympm pian. They were not misled by people who gave them tips on the market which would make them a fortune in a short space of time. They were suspicious of the new economic era and their common sense told them that the day of reckoning would come. They denied them selves all of these little pleasures in order that they might be pre pared for a rainy day. And now, after a long, long time, they have come into their own. They have received their reward. For when congress talks about soaking the rich, they have the satisfaction of knowing that con gress is talking about them. ■ ■■ ■ ♦ ♦ ■ . - Too Well Known.

Are there any “real" cowboys left? Have the dude ranches complete ly supplanted true ranch life? The city dweller, or train tour ist, whose closest approach to the West Is through a story, motion picture, or Pullman window may well wonder whether the old days of the buckaroo and vaquero have vanished completely, but in fact they have not. Scattered along the edges of the most desolate parts of the West, where they have been driven by the march of sheep and civiliza tion, are ranches where the old traditions still are observed. Near Amedee. Cal., the capital of what once was as rich a cow country as any in the United States, a number of such men are now living. One is the foreman of a cattle ranch owned by the Humphries interests, large opera tors throughout northeastern Cal ifornia. Another has his own ranch, and makes a living partly through trading and selling horses he rounds up on the surrounding mountains and high basins. Wild horses roam a part of this region. They are few in number now, but constitute an unwanted quantity at best. Cowboys finding them either round them up and corral them, or shoot them, for a wild horse now Is usually fit for one thing only—chicken feed. Most are small, poorly formed, and un tamable. Holding the lines along the more remote ranges are “real” cowboys. Some of them have nothing to do but remember the old days, when thousands of cattle grazed the sum mer and winter ranges, but others are still making a living keeping the dogles in check, riding fence, or breaking horses. Chaps and 10 gallon hats are put to practical use as well as ornamental purposes, and riding is a necessary art among them. Chicago Mayor ‘Promises’ Wont Bother Drinkers Chicago — (AP) — Mayor Anton Cermak said Tuesday that Chicago police will “continue their drive on crime" and take no part in enforc ing the dry laws during the nation al political conventions oft the next month. “Chicago doesn’t need mopping up more than any other city,” he said. “There’s no liquor here. The drive should start in Washington because most of the liquor will be brought here by senators, congress men and others from that city. They put the law on the books and spend millions of dollars to enforce It, so why should the city spend money for the same thing?” “I suppose the enforcement lead ers, especially Amos Woodcock mean to search the delegates as they step off the trains. That is the only way they can do it.” Cermak called John D.

EVERYTHING BUT KISSES IN MOVIE SOUND LIBRARY When Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. kissed Loretta Young in the scene above, the sound you heard in the movie houses was exactly the same one you would have heard if you had been on the movie lot. Studios have been unable to “dub’* kiss sounds into the talkies and each one (s genuine. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer Hollywood — What, no kisses! Such an exclamation might be heard around the sound laboratory of a motion picture studio almost any time. And therein, boys and girls, hangs a tale. In the sound libraries of Holly wood’s studios can be found mil lions of feet of sound film, upon which is recorded sound effects covering approximately 800 sub jects — almost every conceivable sound from pig grunts to a French locomotive. But nary a kiss can be found anywhere! Of course there’s a reason. Other sounds can, when necessary, be “dubbed” into a picture with satis factory results. Kisses can’t. If the effect is to be right, the sound of .each kiss must be recorded at the same time the action is regis tered. Major Nathan Levinson, chief sound expert for the Wernar-First National studos, explains the mat ter in this way: “No two kisses ever are exactly alike. Consequently the sound of one don't ever be matched with the action of another satisfactorily. In fact, at times the effect of such matching would be aosolutely ludi crous. The action and sound must , be recorded simultaneously.” Compiling libraries of sound effects started with the influx of talking pictures. In the early days equipment was cumbersome. There were no portable sound trucks to go out and rcaord any desired noises. Practically everything had to be done right in the studio. So every new sound obtained was filed away for future use. Considerable ingenuity also was brought into play to determine various ways of imitating certain sounds. One of the first of such instru ments ever used consisted oh a small cylinder and piston, mounted on a flat board, with a nine-inch piece of hollow copper tubing stand ing uprght near it. By turning a crank and blowing into the hollow tube the sound of a running and whistling locomotive could be Imi tated with fair success. This apparatus was used in a number of pictures until a way was found for Installing a recording unit on a real train to collect all of the genuine noises. As might be expected a studio sound library grows with each new production because each picture is almost sure to have some previously unrecorded sound in it. However, although the library grows, its use diminishes. Sound engineers have discovered that no imitation quite takes the place of a genuine noise Itself. Consequently, when possible all soundc are recorded anew when the objects from which they emit are photographed. The catalogued sounds now are used only in emer gencies. But the libraries are kept right up to date just the same. Although natural*, sounds are secured whenever possible those days, there are times when such sounds must be aided by a little human ingenuity. For example, there was a scene In “So Big” in which a sandwich was dropped into a chair. But the sound of the s»ft bread EYESIGHT CAN BE SAVED Some Simple Rules for the Pre vention of Blindness From the New York World-Tele Gram According to the National So ciety for the Prevention of Blind ness, one-half of all blindness Is preventable.

To minimize the hazards to sight foilow these rules: Read with a clear, good light ' did not make enough noise t? be picked up by the microphone. The sandwich then was lined with a sheet of thin lead and the scene was remade very satisfactorily. Among the various noises which may be found in one of these sound libraries are: the noises of crowds —all kinds, happy, angry, excited, American, foreign and mixed: sounds from almost every make of automobile at various speeds; the opening and closing of water tight compartment doors on a battleship; the waves against the boat, both an chored and at various speeds; a printing press; winds at all veloci ties; thunder of varous degrees, and the sound of almost every ani mal. But in none of the libraries can b<^ found a siagle record of a hu man kiss. — ■ -♦♦ — Crusoe’s Balance Sheet. From the New York Ttimes. When Robinson Crusoe was cast upon a desert isle he began serious ly to consider his condition. This led him to draw up the state of his affairs in writing, “not so much to leave them to any that may come after me as to deliver my thoughts from daily poring over them and afflicting my mind.” As his reason began to master his “despondency” he began to comfort himself by set ting the good against the evil, that “I might have something to dis tinguish my case from the worse. He thereupon stated his situation “very impartially like debtor and creditor;” Evil I am cast upon u uunuic island, void of all hope of recovery. Good But I aim alive and not dead, as all my ship’s company was. Evil I am singled out, and separated, as it were, from all the world to be miserable. Good But I am singled out, too, from all the ship’s crew, to be spared from death. And He that miracul ously saved me from death can de liver me from this condition. Evil I am divided from mankind, a solitaire one banished from human society. Good But I am not starved and perish ing on a barren place affording no sustenance. Evil I have no clothes to cover me. Good But I am in a hot climate where if I had clothes I could hardly wear them. Evil I am without any defense or means to resist any violence of man or beast. Good But I am cast on an island where I see no wild beasts to hurt me as I saw on the coast of Africa; and what if I had been shipwrecked there? Evil I have no soul to speak to or relieve me. Good But God wonderfully sent the ship in near enough to the shore that I have gotten out so many necessary things as will either sup ply my wants or enable me to sup ply myself os long as I live. He concluded that, on the whole, there was scarce any condition in the world so miserable but there was something nevative or positive in it to be thankful for. And he let it stand that we mav always find something from which to comfort ourselves, and to set on the credit side of the account. falling from above over your left shoulder.
