Dirt in writing is as useless as dirt in movies, says 0. O. McIntyre. We'can have no quarrel with that statement. In- cidentally we know that the popular para- grapher has never written anything sug- gestive or risque. In law a bankrupt is rehabilitated by discharged from his debts. Key does not want to be discharged its debts, but desires aid TO dis- its debts. With the help of the; we are going to do just that. ik BE re ‘Probably no administration in history has ever sent its high officials out over the country so much just prior to an election. Wallace, Tugwell, Ezekiel and Davis of the Agriculture Department have either made or planned swings. Farley and Johnson are completing their stumping tour ahead of the President's. Secretary Roper went to Alatka, Secretary Cummings is headed for Hawaii, Secretary Dern to Panama, Relief Chief Harry Hopkins to Europe on government business, etc. The “second team” is running the show. With the advent of more folks to Key West and their subsequent visits, to The Citizen, many ask why the merchants of this tity do not advertise in their daily paper, and when, why on such a minuscule seale, The answer is that Key West mer- chants are simply not advertising minded. This has always been so. In the best days of the glorious past, advertising was noth- ing to brag about. During one year of the War peried, a Duval street merchant, who hae since departed for greener fields and pastures new, did « turn-over of, $30,000. His total advertising appropriation for that prospercus year was just $24, — Don't sell Key Wert’short” FERA is. definitely in earnest about setting a pre- codent im rehabilitation with this island city. i may seem work is slow but re- member that ir all big projects where money \« involved a groundwork first has to be laid.

The highest paid director is thought to be WHAT THE WAR COST Many statistics have been compiled relative to the cost of the World War, but , the figures are so large that it is impos- sible for the human cae to grasp their significance. In an effort to put these figures Ante somewhat more understandable form, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, tells what might have been done with the 400 billion dollars spent on account of the war, as follows: “The World War, all told, cost—apart from 30 million lives—400 billion dollars. With that money we could have built a $2,- i 500. house, furnished it with $1,000 worth of furniture, placed it on five acres of land worth $100 an acre and given this home to | each and every family in the United States, | Canada, Australia, England, Wales, Ire- | land, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany and Russia. We could have given to each | city of 20,000 inhabitants and over, inj; each country named, a five million dollar | library and a ten million dollar university. | Out of wat was left we could have set aside a sum at five percent that would provide | a $1,000 year salary for an army of 125,- 000 teachers and a like salary for another ! army of 125,000 nurses.’ | Yet there is constant talk about | another war. It would probably be going | on now if the nations had the money or’ credit whereby it could be financed, and it | seems bound to come eventually. And we | eall this an age of civilization. MOVIE SALARIES When Sol A. Rosenblatt, code ad- ministrator for the motion picture indus- | try, revealed recently that one screen star | received a $315,000 salary last year, and | a few others came close to the $300,000 | mark, he mentioned no names. Ever since, | writers who are supposed to have inside in- formation concerning the salaries of big | shots of the films have been trying to | identify the top-notchers. | Taking Mr. Rosenblatt’s figures, one } writer picks a few of the highest paid | stars, as follows: He concedes the highest salary of all, | $315,000, to Will Rogers. He places Con- | stance Bennett second with $296,250; Ruth | Happenings Hara duet 20” Years] rt Kuthovan Chatterton third with $283,654; John Gil- hert fourth with $277,333; Nicholas Sehenk, president of two producing cor- porations, is rated fifth with $273,596. Ernst Lubitsch at a salary of $150,000. The administrator reported that 110; actors and others connected with the in- | pupils who will attend come up to} adelphia. dustry receive more than the normal salary | of the President of the United States, which is $75,000. | But Will Rogers’s top salary is less | than half the $750,000 a year once spurned by Gloria Swanson, and far less than the $12,000 a week once paid to Colleen Moore. Weekly salaries, -however, are | usually paid only when the star concerned actually works. Last year it is said, John Barrymore received $25,000 a week, but | he worked. less than four weeks out of 12 months, earning $91,666. | To the average person all these high salaries seem excessive, and the fact that most of the big producing companies have been in receivership or have gone bankrupt during the depression seems to confirm that opinion.
