"THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER : (Established 18 VETERANS BUREAU INVESTIGATION Congressional investigatons often become boresome, and toogpften they end with information adduced only for poli- ticat discussion. Just now a senate committee is investigat- ingithe Veterans Bureau. It is just fairly under way in its invéstigation, but the testimony adduced thus far is suffi- ciemt to welcome the investigation and to hope that it will be gs deep and complete as the senators and present heads of @e Veterans Bureau promise that it will be. Charles R. Forbes, formerly in charge of this bureau which spends: hundreds of millions of public money for the benefit of the disabled *ex-service men of the World War, in retirement. He is said to bein enfeebled health. He has isgued.a flat. denial of any charges of wrong-doing. The thinking public will withhold judgment on Mr. Forbes until he has told his story. But Mr. Forbes appears to have a difficult task before kim. The testimony from reputable citizens well as testi- mony which might be subject to criticism, very strong. it requires too wide a stretch of the imagination to believe that an architect was entitled to $33,000 for changing plans ts conform to the original instructions given to him and disregarded by him. The testimony given that a hospital tract bought for a few thousand dollars was sold to the gov- ernment a short time later for many times that sum. appears «to require very strong refutation. General Hines, now in charge of the Veterans Bureau, ‘Has done much to restore confidence in it by his administ tion. The selection of Major-General O’Ryan of New York as counsel to aid in the investigation finds wide approval. Surely there can be no greater wrong done by a public of- ficial than to, either through incompetency or dishonesty, @heat the disabled veterans of their due. More power to the iivestigators. | ; BIG MOVE NEWS = A battle apparently starts to reduce’ the high cost of making movies, especially the fabulous salaries paid to movie stars. Adolph Zukor announces that the eastern id western Famous Players-Lasky film studios will shut wn, halting work by 16 companies of movie actors. » Some of the stars affected by the shut-down are Pola Negri, Bebe Daniels, William S. Hart, Gloria Swanson and Thomas Meighan. #: Production costs are too high, in addition to overproduc- tion, says Zukor. He says he’s aiming for a lowering of movie salaries, cost of staging and mechanical expenses. ry * The making of movies is only secondarily an art. Pri- marily itis a business, as mtich so as selling sausages or hardware or groceri The public knows this, and it naturally must be surprised that producers find the costs of making pictures too high, in view of what the public pays to: see the films. It is quite possible, and probable, that Zukor’s shut-down will mean an end of “super-films” and a return to simplicity. The theater met the same sort of crisis years ago. Shows hgd been running to the extremely spectacular. Production costs had become almost prohibitive. Then Eugene Walter wrote “Paid in Full,” starting an epidemic of plays with | - small casts. Producers naturally liked the small cast idea; | few actors to pay, few scenery changes. A show could be “tried out on the dog” without gambling much money. # The small cast injected real art into the American | * theater. - This bit of history may repeat in the movies. FIRST FIND THE PUBLIC Elizabeth Bruce, a. business woman, was dissatisfied with | the-lunches offered her by Boston restaurants. On the | theory that if you want a thing done satisfactory, you have to do it yourself, she started her own restaurant to feed her- id: other business women. «‘mnat was 10 years ago. Now she feeds 4000 girls daily. ton paper estimates her profits at $60,000 a year. # Success seems to be waiting in so many difficult and un- ted places, it’s a wonder so few people find it. The | ick is to find a public want, then satisfy it. POWER OF RESISTANCE A doctor tells us that autopsies reveal four people out of e have had a struggle with tuberculosis at some time or | her during life. This is shown by scars in the lungs, indi- | ting that the dread disease had been overcome by the Kody’s power of resistance.

Con- sequently when Jack was at last ready to ask the usual questions about. dad’s sickness I was able to tell him, Because I have been lying so much to Jack, little Marquise, 1 have felt that I could hardly allow him to kiss me any more than was absclutely necessary to keep him from suspecting anything. Jack has been very hurt at this, Of course he has concluded that it was his fault and he goes about:qith-such a hurt look on his face. . Truly he is a great big boy.

What did I tell you? Didn't I say that » Dixie) Land was a fine place? Look at that rice-field all ‘specially planted for us! Nothing like that up north.” | A little brown and white bird with a yellow throat made this long spcech to a couple of dozen of his! friends. They were all resting ip a! pine-tree after their long journey. The birds hadn't noticed a couple of-small figures nearby—a little boy and girl who nodded knowingly at each other when they heard what the birds were saying. “That's Robber Ricebird and his gang’that Mister Ricegrower asked us tp Took~out for, aid Nick to Nangy. “Did you hear him say that | the gilee had been ‘specially planted | for {them ?” 2 | faybe he docs think 50,” an- swéged Nancy. “He seems like a nice |little"bird. He doesn't look like a thie? “Ifhe’s been here before, he ought to know better,” "argued Nick. “Per- |hap8 ‘he’s just telling that to his friends so they’ all go along and keep him company.” But before Nancy could answer, Robber Ricebird called out, “Come| ‘on, fellows! If we want to get as far as South America this year, we'll \have to be attending to business. ; Now eat. all the rice you can hold because we have to fly a long dis-| | tance over water with nothing to eat at all. One, two, three, ready, go!” And instantly all the birds settled down on the rice stalks like a small cloud and began to snip off the little rice grains as fast as they could make their bills go. “Um! Yum! Isn’t this grand!” they warpleg. i “Spink! Spink! Isn’t it fine!” they ehirped. “Bobbie, you're a fine chap to bring us here.” “Bobbie! Did you hear?” whispered Nick. “That's short for Robber.” Just then there was a sharp bang, bang, bang! And the birds rose in a panic .and swarmed back. into the pinc-tree. ““Wh—what was that, Bobbie?” they panted. “It sounded like a gun.” “It was a gun!” exclaimed their leader in a puzzled voice. “I know because I’ve heard Mister Farmer shooting at the crows in his corn-, field up north. Why, you'd think we were robbers and were stealing, so! you would! Really, I’m so upset I'll have to sing to steady my nerves. Come on, let’s/all sing. It will do us good.” ‘And to the Twins’ amaze- ment, what should the birds begin i but: “Bob—o—link, bob—o—link, 4Spink, spank, spink, spank, spink!” “Why it’s Bobbie Bobolink,” cried | Naney. “We'll have to hurry and tell ; Mister Ricegrower that it's all a mistake. Bobbie’s the sweetest Lird in the world!” “Well I'declare!” said Mister Rice- grower in surprise. “I'll go . right out and put up a-welcome sign. I never knew that bobolinks and rice- rds were the same. I guess they're come to a bit o'rice on their tra- vel." (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, -Inc.) its buyer paid for it.
