.JULY 15, 1928 mis WEEK By ARTHUR BRISBANE F?rr.icrs and Organization Heat Money Throw Out Ambition? Sound in Movies Four manufacturers. includin. Washburn-Crosby and Red Star, os ganized a $50,000,000 combination largest floor milling concern in th world. That's in the line of moder method v big units, small overhead powerful marketing. This news will interest farmer and make their. wish sornebod; could show them how to organize The first thing, and absolutely nec essary, is to organize and intensify methods of production, An old fashioned blacksmith could no compete with a modern automobile factory. Childish talk of "necessary com peitsation * and prattle about keeping business ''o?i getting "too big" av? out of date. Where nations combine to mono polize world business, great Ameri can units must combine for self-defense. Possibly some one will find a wax to help our farmers from such s combination. They need it. The French settle down courageously to the drastic new money rate. Four-tilths of its value is cut from their money as a result of a war which vhey won. They face that situation bravely. In place of pane.- money, meaning iittic to peasants and working people, the French again will see gold and silver coins in circulation. The grossc piece, size and weight of our silver dollar, will not dome back. Worth five francs before the war, it would he worth twenty- five francs now. But ten-franc silver pieces worlh forty cents will be coined, and the French will feel that they are working for real money. Stabilizing the franc is a boon to al: Furopc, ending financial disorder that has lasted ten years. ft i a uroai achievement by Poincare, worthy successor of Thiers. Turcot. Nocker. SulK* nn?l u long list of brilliant French statesman. Sir .lames Karrie tells Rhodes* scholars not to try for "greatness," The advice was humorous, probably. Trying for greatness produces desirable mediocrity. Men "aim high to shoot low" as the illiterate colored man said when he "asked Grayer Cleveland to make him librarian of congress. He really wanted a job as porter. A baby cries for the moon and is satisfied with a cooky. Youth reaches for greatness and is content with modest achievement and a place oil the golf course L Win field J'.. Sheehan, who knows about moving pictures, says screens will be much bigger for large sized theaters now building everywhere. That will make it necessary to revise production methods. Most important for budding genius, he says the "talking movie" will create a tier. army of scenario ? writers, knowing how to make sound effective in pictures. In a detc-etivc story, noise of a creaking board, or a shot, might be mure effective than the hero's smile. Mr. Shoe hail believes that the pictures with sound will double moving jhvi.uic <is.itnua.n;x;. Egg?.-''-" "' ' ".-T- ' - - In New York's brutal dancing contest?the dance to go on until all but one couple drop?the female dancers, nervously "exhausted, slup their partner's faces. Then the men slap the women's faces vigorously. The yahoos, called "fans," looking on, shriek with delight, as the half crazed dancers strike each other. Such is our poor imitation of the Roman arena: STATE HIGHWAY' FUND Collection of gasoline taxes, automobile license taxes and automobile Title registration fees in North Carolina during the fiscal year ending June 30 totaled $1S,900,126.02, il has been announced. This is almost five million dollars above the amount collected during the previous fisca: year but about four and one-hall million dollars was collected inciden tal to the change of the state auto mobile license year from a July-to July to a January-to-January basis. June collections totaled $932, 210.58, subdivided as follows: Li cense. $128,478; gasoline taxes $793,199; title registration fees $10,530. Collections for the year are sub divided as follows: Licenses, $9, 353,010; gasoline taxes, $9,376,987 title registration fees $169,522. These funds go for the retivemen1 of bonds issued for highway con struction purposes and for the main tenance of roads already constructec by the 3tate.
