Since the first beginning of movies ;here has been a wonderful advance n the mechanical part; great strides lave been made in the purely pictoriil features; but the literature of the Matures; but the literature of the novies has not advanced as it should, rhe plays are not as good as they >ught to be. The movies are still | ramping around with vampires and crooking with the crooks. There was a time, several years igo, when novelists and playwrights lad a few such spasms. ^They told stories about dope fiends and crooked detectives and tough' characters. But they soon gave up these subjects. In real lif? we do not care for lives and we do not dare for the companionship of those who inhabit lives. If the literary portrayal is a faithful representation of the real :hing then the crook story is quite j is unpleasant as the crook. If it is aot true to life then it has no reason it all for being. j What applies to the printed page ipplies with greater force to the screen. There is really nothing interesting about the "eternal triangle," about tough detectives or inPomAllr. Kllrorloro lamv/uo k/ux 51 ai o. The chief reason why these characters continue to inhabit and afflict the screen is the uneasy suspicion of the movie magnates that they "bring people to the box office." Of course, the exact opposite is the case. The financial problem of the movies is to bring into the film houses that part Df the public which does not now attend such performances. They will always be able to hold the devoted 'movie fan." This new traffic is not to be induced by crude plays about the gutter. Africa's West Coast.

How a British Salesman Defeated His j American Brother. American and British corrugated iron salesmen were in competition recently in Buenos Aires for an order of more than a half million dollars, says W. E. Aughuibaugh, in Leslie's. Tests showed the sample submitted by both to be equal in every respect. The American's price was better than that of his adversary by a fraction of a cent per pound, and.he was about to get the order, when the British salesman played his trump card. "Wait a moment before you place that order," said the Englishman. "Read this." And he handed the prospective purchaser an interview! recently given out by an American bank official, which had been reproduced in the papers of the Argentine capital, stating that it was the custom of the manufacturers of this country not to live up to their, contracts. "What guarantee have you if my American competitor gets the order that he will deliver the goods specified? You see for yourself what the head of one of their own financial institutions says about their shortcomings on this score." The Latin| American merchant read the article. The'Englishman got the order. The American lost through the unwise utterances of a man whose business it should have been to defend him from I such attacks. Thoughtful Providence.
