Sent. ?9._ Depression can be conquered by a campaign to bring home to con sumers the fact mat prices have not been so l^w as the^ now are since before the war. That any body holding money in the bank is losing a cnance to make a quick twenty-five per cent profit on ev ery dollar spent by not buying right now; that almost any day will come the turn from a buyer’s mar ket to a seller’s market and that prices are bound to soar when that day arrives. The above is the conclusion reached by Walter P. Gifford, President of the American Tele graph and Telephone Company, af ter a month’s study as head of the President’s Unemployment Com mission. He says the advertising that has been done so far in an ef fort to get people to buy by telling them it was a patriotic duty and that it helped keep money in cir culation has been based upon a wrong psychology. His idea is to appeal to consumers through their self-interest alone. Gifford’s statement about low prices is borne out by the latest De partment of Commerce report which shows that commodity prices | are twenty-five per cent lower right now than they have been since the slump started in 1929. The reduc tion applies to practically all major lines except fruit and vegetables. These are actually fourteen per cent higher than they were in 1913. Americans have learned to eat more fruit and vegetables in the past few years than they ever did before. Only a few years ago beans and cabbage, along with potatoes, covered the average vegetable diet of the nation. Lately the discov ery of the health-giving properties of greens and fruit has led to their wide use and prices show that the supply is lagging behind the de mand, while the prices of staple crops are still falling. Another sign that the end of the depression is nearing is evidenced by the report of Arch Coleman, Assistant Postmaster General, that there has been a recent increase of fifteen per cent in the amount of mail being handled by the Govern ment. Nearly all of this gain was in first and third-class mail, the latter being swelled by the enor mous amount of extra advertising matter, indicating that manufac turers are certain that there will be an increase in consumption this fall. Gerard Swope, the great indus trialist who is head of the General Electric Company, has offered a ’-‘lair to minimize unemolovment in future. The plan is being given ciose study by ail political leaders. In effect, it is a plan opposing fur ther Government control of busi ness. He wants each of the ma jor lines like his own, the lumber interests, grain men, steamship owners and so on, to form a “cart el” on the European system which will absolutely govern each indus try. He suggests Government control be limited to the least possible par ticipation, only interfering in cases of rank injustice. Such combina tions would control production, holding down manufacturers when the market showed signs of be coming glutted. This would enable factories to keep running all year and make the lot of the working class much safer. Insurance, pen sions and other social problems would all be handled inside of the various industries, which would set aside part of their surpluses to take care of the added financial burden. It is pointed out by Mr. Swope that Congress will have to pass some new laws to permit the fof 1 - mation of these cartels and abrdr gate other laws, particularly the Sherman Anti Trust Laws. He sees no reason why a successful effort along these lines will not succeed. Such cartels already exist, al though in a much less degree than is proposed for the new combina tions. The moving picture indus try is dominated entirely by one man, former Postmaster General Will H. Hays, and baseball is under the thumb of former Federal Judge Kenesaw M. Landis. The song writers recently fell into line, while labor has its own “trust.” All of these are recognized by law and permitted to operate and Mr. Swope sees no reason why manu facturers cannot be organized the same way. tXI GREENWOOD, S. C. Thursday Friday October lst-2nd transatlantic” with Edmund Lowe Lois Moran Greta Nissen SATURDAY, October 3rd Bob Custer in “HEARING FOR TROUBLE” Monday Tuesday October 5th-6th Sally Eilers James Dunn in Vina Delmar’s “Bad Girl” WEDNESDAY, October 7th Edmund Lowe Lois Moran in “THE SPIDER” Reduced Prices Adults— 1 until 6—25c After 6—30c Saturdays 25c Day and Night Vina Delmar Best Seller “Bad Girl” Pic- turized By Fox ! ‘7TH HEAVEN’ DIRECTOR, FRANK BORZAGE, IN CHARGE; SALLY EILERS, JAMES DUNN RO MANTIC LEADS Wins Another Pennant Connie Mack piloted the Phila delphia Athletics to the flag for -the ninth time in 28 years. “Bad Girl,” Vina Delmar’s pro found study of motherhood as it affects a typical young couple of New York’s working class, sensa tional best seller among recent nov els of youth, and smash stage hit of the past season, has now reached the screen with Sally Eilers and James Dunn in the co-featured leads. Frank Borzage, known as the master interpreter of pathos and human emotion, directed this Fox film production which will be the featured attraction at the Carolina Theatre next Monday. Much of the emotional appeal of the film is said to be due to Borzage’s aptitude for portraying the intense drama of life and love. Briefly, the story deals with the romance of a young couple who loved too well before they were married. Sally Eilers, as the hero ine. is shadowed with the stigma of being known as a “bad girl,” whp-’euoon her sweetheart, enact ed in the film by James Dunn, agrees to marry her. Sally’s happiness at this pros pect is dimmed by her brother’s cruel treatment of her in forcing her to leave home, but it is soon renewed when she is married and settled in a comfortable little flat. Then the realization that a baby is coming brings conflict into their home. Their worries, fears, and some times laughable experiences during this trying time in their lives make uo the body of the drama which is rich in gripping, human interest qualities. , An admirable supporting cast ' surrounds the co-featured nrinc 1 '- pals in this production which is said to have been most lavishly staged and oroduced. It includes Minna Gombell, Frank Darien, William Pawley and many others, i Edwin Burke, author and drama tist of manv nast st*™ and successes, adapted “Bad Girl” iit continuity ana dialog lor the sereea version. According to advance re ports from cities where this film drama has played, it tells its story with absorbing interest. TXI Almost anv combination may be used for fruit cup or fruit salad, but there should be included some thing pleasantly acid, such as orange or grapefruit, or tart s’ic?d apple. Some of the best fruits to include in a salad are canned pine apple. peaches, fresh or canned, canteloupe, cherries, fresh or can ned, apricots, dates, prunes, figs, marachino cherries, Malaga or Tokay grapes. A few nut meats are an agreeable addition, and also berries in season. The fruits should be cut in attractive pieces, and they should not be stirred pbcut. or they will look mushy and shapeless. txi Sometimes a few feet of fall in even a small stream of water can be made to operate a hydraulic ram and thus furnish an inexpen sive supply of water for home, garden, and stock purposes.
