STATE FREIGHT RATES ON IRON ARE PROTESTED Indiana Users Claim Present Scale Unsqual, Favors Competitors. , This is another article of the series, "lealinsr with freight rates in Indiana **nd charges of discrimination against Indiana's industries. By CHARLES CARLE A request for reduction of freight rates on pig iron that will place those from Chicago into Indiana on a comparable basis with those from the same point into Illinois, is before the Interstate Commerce Commission now. It is charged in the complaint that there is a serious mal-adjustment in rates at this time. The case was brought by the St. Louis Coke and Iron Corporation against the Alabama, Great Southern Railroad Company and the Indiana State and Terre Haute Chambers of Commerce have intervened in behalf of this State. The latter groups have prepared a brief on the case which will be filed with the commission. Charge Discrepancies Decided discrepancies in rates are shown in the transportation of pig iron from the Chicago district to Indiana points as compared to carryings from Chicago to places in Illinois and Wisconsin. In many instances the gross ton rate is several cents higher in Indiana for distances similar and sometimes less than those in the other two States. Terre Haute, it is estimated, uses about 15,000 tons of pig iron each year, most of which comes front the Chicago area. The present rate for this is $2.37 a gross ton. Terre Haute is but a few mile from the Illinois line and Paris, 111., about eighteen miles from Terre Haute, pays $2.14, a difference of 23 cents. In addition to this, the rate from the Chicago district to St. Louis. 100 miles from Terre Haute, it $2.16 a gross ton. two cents more than the haul cost to Paris, 111., and 21 cents i less than the Terre Haute cost. South Bend Rate High In the northern part of the State ■ there is a decided demand for pig 1 iron in automobile and agricultural machinery factories a. South Bend and Michigan City. The average haul distance to South Bend is 79 miles and the rate is $2.05. To points about as far distant in Wisconsin the rate is $1.39. Michigan City is on an avei’age haul distance of 44 miles from Chicago and the rate is $1.40. This contrasts with places 33 miles farther in Illinois that pay $1.39 a‘ gross ton. According to traffic authorities the excess cost of transporting the raw materials to the factories in Terre Haute, Michigan City and South Bend cause cousumers to suffer great losses in the profits of their organizaions This condition also prevails in other Indiana cities. Competitors Are Favored It is necessary for these firms to compete with out-State companies that are paying much less for obtaining of the materials for manufacturing purposes. There are many pig iron consumers located in Indianapolis, Richmond. Muncie, Evansville, Anderson, Kokomo, Marion, Wabasn, Columbus and Ft. Wayne, in addition to those already mentioned. It costs $2.65 a gross ton to ship this material from Chicago to Indianapolis and Kokomo. There is a rate to Peoria, 111., of $1.76 for 155 miles while Kokomo users pay $2.65 for 134 miles. Southern Points Slighted Evansville and Richmond are two points in the southern part of Indiana where pig iron is used to a great extent. Consumers there are in the $3.15 group, which takes in the southern half of the State and in which there are thirty-five shipping points, at a distance of 232 miles. The East St. Louis rate for a distance of 227 miles is $2.16 compared to the southern Indiana costs. The pig iron case was taken before the commission as an attack on rates from Granite City, 111., to points in Indiana and twelve other States as “unjust and unreasonable.”

ABSCESS AND GLANDULAR SORENESS DISAPPEAR Indianapolis, Indiana. September. 6th, 1927. To whom it may concern:— This is to testify to the good work of Dr. Bebout, Chiropractor, with the hope that others may go to his office and get the same results as I did. In September 1926, I went to Dr. Bebout for glandular trouble and an abscess under my right arm. My blood and kidneys were bad. I had suffered for several weeks during which time the abscess had been lanced nine times, without giving me relief. I had taken Chiropractic adjustments once before for Gall Stones and was saved an operation, so I now decided to try Chriopractic for the abscess. In a very short time I received immense relief, and in two or three weeks time the abscess had completely disappeared and the glandular soreness and enlargement well on the road to recovery. I can recommend Dr. Bebout as a Chiropractor who is certainly competent and qualified to handle the most difficult cases. Mrs. Harry Davenport, 4416 East 21st St.

CHOOSE YOUR ORUGLESS PHYSICIAN WITH THE SAME CARE YOU WOULD USE IN CHOOSING YOUR MEDICAL DOCTOR Twelve years experience as a Chiropractor, a license from the State of Indiana, high school and college training, a method that is relaxing and restful, a vast experience in handling successfully the most difficult of cases as well as those not so difficult, are some of the reasons why you will make no mistake if you come here or call me to your home. NOT SEVERE Like all sciences. Chiropractic is advancing. Chiropractic properly given today is not severe. So certain am I of my method, that I make this statement: Come in, bring this notice with you, let me give you one adjustment; after I have finished, if you think my adjustment was rough or severe, or without value to you, then the adjustment will not cost you one cent.

Famous Authors Sometimes Fail in Movies; Action Must Tell Story

The inside story of moving picture making, containing many interesting details invo.ved in selection of story and players, has been written into a series of twelve articles by Dan Thomas, Hollywood correspondent for The Times and NEA Service. hTe second article, on casting of the picture, will appear Wednesday. BY DAN THOMAS SEA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Cal, April 17. How is a motion picture made? Os the 120,000,000 people in the United States, probably not more than one-five hundredth could answer* the above question. Most oi them, of course, have ideas about a lot of lights being stuck around and grinding cameras recording the action of the players. Beyond that they know little of the process—of the weeks and months of work that goes into a film they see on the screen in from an houi to an hour an a half. In the following series of twelve stories I am going to give a fairly detailed account of picture production, starting with the conception of the story and following through the preparation, filming and editing—right to its exhibition in your local theater. Getting the Idea There are numerous ways in which a motion picture gets its start. Often a writer strikes upon what he believes to ge a great title. With that as the sole basis for his story, he starts writing. Other times a single incident will suggest a plot around which a story can be written. And on still other occasions, the characters iorm the ioundation of a scenario. It is about a fifty-fitty break these days as to whether stories are written for certain players or whether the players are made to fit certain stories. An executive often will call a conference cf his writers and perhaps a few directors and tell them he must have a stoiy for such and such a star. From their ’ combined ideas the skeleton of a story is drafted. It is handled to a scenarist to work out the details. Story Told in Action While a few realize it, wirting a story for a motion picture is a distinct art in itself. In the average short story or novel, perhaps half is told in the conversation of the characters. When writing for the screen, this naturally can not be done. Words can't be photographed. Therefore, everything must be told in action. Sub-titles help some in this respect, but they can’t carry the story.

Many successful scribes have been utter failures in Hollywood because they fail to conform to the screen’s

requisite that “everything must be told in action.” Other writers have forsaken their high-salaried positions in studios because they find it practically impossible to work with the producers changing their minds every time the sun rises. After the story has been completed, it must be broken up into continuity. That is another process which requires the treatment of an exper. A coninuiy wrier must also have a pretty fair sense of direction, as it is his duty to tell whether a scene shall be a “long shot.” “medium shot” or “closeup.” A continuity breaks the entire script into scenes and specifies to the minutest detail what action transpires in each. When the continuity is finished, everything is in readiness for the Kite String Darkens City Bp Timex Special MISHAWAKA. Ind..

! PRIVATE OWNED INDUSTRY BEST, SAYS CQOLIDOE National Control Destroys Initiative, President Believes. Bp t piled Pres* WASHINGTON, April 17—President Coolidge reaffirmed his position against entry of the Federal Government into private business enterprises in an address here Monday night before the Daughters of the American Revolution. Asserting that “in general the country is best served through the competition of private enterprise” and that “if the people are to remain politically free, they must be economically free,” the President said: “The very essence of business is the expectation of a profit on the part of those who conduct it. Government is conducted from an entirely different motive. “When business is in private hands, it is expected to be run for the benefit of the owners. "When the Government steps in, the purchasers, users and beneficiaries of what the Government undertakes to supply insist that the concern should be conducted for their benefit.” Lender these conditions, the President pointed out, business lacks enterprise and initiative and has no motive to provide an improved service. Continuing, Coolidge said: “Flowing out of these unavoidable conditions, if the Government gets into business on any large scale, we soon fine* that the beneficiaries attempt to play a large part in the control. It comes to be ragarded as a species of Government favor

and those who are most adroit get the larger part of it. “Men in public life are besought to secure places of employment for some persons in their locality ana favorable contracts for others. “The situation rapidly develops into a position of intrenched selfishness, where a great body of public employes and large outside interests are in virtual control, with the general public paying a high cost for poor service. If it is desirable to avoid “the blighting effects of monopoly supported by the money of the taxpayer,” prevent existence of a privileged class, shield public officials from the influence of propaganda, and “keep the government unencumbered and clear, with an eye single to public service,” the President declared, “wc shall leave the conduct of our private business with the individual, where it belongs.”
