Who coined the words, depression, panic, failures, insolvent, moratorium, unemployment, overproduction, taxes, and speaking of the stock market, the bears? Fort Wayne's new post office building will be constructed by a South Bend concern which should help to create a fine feeling between the two cities sparring for place in state recognition. , This is the time of year when municipalities begin to figure up what public improvements cost and when the taxpayer wishes that there was some way to get them forj nothing. — Snap into it next week and get lined up for the early fall business, ' the supplying of needs for children I and students who will start back to school and college and in helping furnish regular every day necess- J Hies. The petition asking that D. C. Stephenson be paroled from prison contained about 4.000 names.

France is credited with having 58 I billion francs in gold reserve and ' keeps it locked up in a vault under j the streets of Paris. An army of men are employed to guard the vaults, but the dispatch telling of the great gold pile stated that the walls of tfie safe were 15 feet thick, so it probably will not be necessary tor any of the guards to worry about someone drilling through. Doles, unemployment, heavy taxation and a few other troubles have just about wrecked things in England and it is one of the numerous nations looking for a Moses to lead them out of the doldrums. The old theory that governnn nt can go just so far, is probably the best course for any country to follow and Eng-

land will have learned a lesson before it gets things straightened out. Discussions about business recovery usually proceed from the point of view that conditions will not improve until there is something in the w'ay of general recovery. Just what this is no one seems to know, although numerous panaceas, like farm relief, repeal of prohibition, changes hi money standards, maintenance of wages, etc., are proposed. A writer in a recent .issue of Nation's Business sums it ;up differently. He says business institutions, as individuals, are not I going to be restored to prosperity by the recovery of business as a ; whole. On the contrary, he says ; the condition of business as a i whole, depends upon the prosperity o’ individuals. Consequently, he decides, if ’business as whole is to

again become prosperous it is up , Ito individuals to make it so. In order to do this he has nothing to recommend but the old-fashioned I virtues of hard work and intelligent | management. This does not sound , |so good to the man who sits back , and waits for congress, or someI! ong else, to make him prosperous. ( —National Printer-Journalist - 1 — Citizens of Marion, Ind., have . undertaken to conserve some of i the foodstuffs now so plentiful and i! cheap, so that they will be available I for the needy whe ncalls become insistent next winter. A meeting to ■, discuss the program was advocated 'by the Marion Community Chest and the public welfare department of the Marion Department Club, with representatives of numerous 1 church and civic organizations present. Church kitchens will be used Ito can apples, peaches and other | fruits. Other communities might take a hint from this at Marion. It was said a few days ago, we are in • | the midst of plenty, yet the great- | est apprehension is shown about i the season just ahead. In Okla- ■ homa cantaloupes are selling for 1 I cent each and in some of the southern states peaches have been offeried for 10 cents a bushel. Other I yields have been so great that i prfees are lower than they have been for years. Foodstuffs are going to waste or being destroyed, be- | cause there is little market for them and no agency to direct them into the channels where the greatest need exists. Poor relief tax levies are being raised throughout i the state at the same time when | much of the cheap food that might i be used for relief work is hy't to rot in the fields and orchards. — Indianapolis News. o * “reunion “ * iI CALENDAR Sunday, August 23 Annual reunion of the Kemmer family Sun Set Park, Decatur, rain i or shine.

By HARRISON CARROLL. <■ Copyright 1131, Premier Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 00—Another rebel, James Cagney, has set Hollywood to arguing its favorite question: . Does quick succt-s entitle a play. ; de t ms nd a new W contract with more money? ’ Cagney’s walkout shortly ' before he was scheduled to 1 start his first I starring picture leaves Warners ”r in an embattled j position with j. me , Cagney, two of its stars. Barbara Stanwyck still refuses to ( carry out the joint contract she ho'ds with this studio and with ; Columbia. | , Only a short time ago, Paramount won a similar battle with Jack Oakie, and before that Lew Ayres won a settlement of his difficulties with Universal. The Cagney episode draws a sharp statement from Darryl Zanuck, Warner production head. “We have Cagney under a fiveyear contract for screen, stage and personal appearances,” declares Zanuck. "We are paying him $550 a week and he would shortly get optional raises. He makes absolutely no complaint other than salary. “We say this is not the time for him to ask for more money. He hasn’t appeared in a starring picture. and it is not certain how well his films will draw.” Considering things dispassionately, the studios actually gamble on a new player only to the extent of his salary for three, or possibly six months. On the other hand, they make the same gamble on a number of other players and they have to cash in on one or two to make up for the loss on the others. The player’s side is that he has only a few good years at best and must cash in while he's on the upward swing. He always can point to other stars of less box-offiee value who received much larger salaries. No doubt, it’s a question that will be argued indefinitely. In the meanwhile Warners have suspended Cagney's contract, and, at last reports, the actor was heading for New York.

THAT STOPPED HIM. It isn’t safe to bait Harry Brand, United Artista publicity man and one of the readiest wits in Hollywood. The latest to find this out is a well-known male star. During the course of a party, he chided Brand: “Say, what's the matter with you? The only reason I asked vou up was to give us a lot of laughs.” '“Yeah?” snapped Brand, "what do you want for a piece of celery ind * 'in - Lich—Eddie n »ntor?”

Fredric March has never seen John Barrymore’s “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Nor does he intend to. Paramount is working assiduously to discourage comparisons between the two films... Rumors are that “Roundup” may be abandoned at this studio. It’s a Western and Paramount is off them... “An American Tragedy” is a big hit in this town.

Then she assembles a collection of hairpins to help her out. “Next she put on a hat. Berets are easiest, and straws are the worst. The pins cling to the linings, , punch your skin and raise tne dickens. This is bad enough. But taking the hat off is the climax. The pins stay with the hat. “Now, Mr. Carroll, just notice how the new hats stop snort at the i hair-pin line. That’s why I’m for second empire headgear." Miss Brown says I am a man "who knows nothing of such

things.” Maybe she’s right. But I still think the new hats have made more women look ridiculous than any feminine style of recent years. NEW YORK BOUND.
