DIFFERENT OPINIONS Photoplay Producer Says It Makes the Player a B et- • ter Drawing Card. Recent agitation among New York theatrical men to prevent "legitimate" stars from appearing before the mo- tion picture camera haa aroused ex preealons of Indignation from the movie men as well aa the stars them- selves. A few managers Have lamed order that their stars must appear their management exclusively. They threaten to reduce salaries If Dlnvera pose for the screen while un- der contract to them. The contention of the theatrical men la that when the public can see a the- atrical star at motion picture prices It la loath to pay "legitimate" prices to see the same player In the spoken drama. The film producers, on the contrary, assert thai the "movie" public's Inter- est Is aroused by seeing a famous star on the screen and the people are more likely to visit a theateiyto see the player In person. Film Men Give Opinions. This view has been voiced by such prominent film men as Samuel Gold- fish, president of the Jesse' L. Leaky Feature Play company, which features dramatic stars In its photo plays, and Lewis J.

Delay in transit, improper ventilation or refrigeration, or unnecessarily rough handling of cars may contribute to rapid detorloriation of the ship- ment on arrival. The lack of proper refrigeration fa- cilities at distributing centers is a cause of much loss. When produce moves slowly, there Is often much spoilage before complete Bales can be made. Rough handling during unload- ing or carting is another important cause of loss. As a matter of fact the opportunities tor losses due to the spoiling of commodities are so mani- fold that it Is impossible to enter into a complete discussion of them. Leasee Are Serious. •?".

Walker Whiteside, who made hia serein debut In his former stage suc- cess* "The Melting Pot." at present be- ing ahown at the Fine Arts theater, is going out on the road this fall in a new stage production to test out this moot- cd question.

The spoiling of a dosen cantaloupes, a basket of grapes, or a crate of strawberries represents an absolute loss to the community. No benefit accrues to producer, dis- tributor, or consumer from such a Condition. The loss occurring at this point must be borne by both producer and consumer, and to a great many cases the distributor must bear his part of the burden. The department's specialists think In many Cases losses and wastea are entirely too heavy a tax on food distribution and thal^the elimination of unnecessary wastes would do as much toward effecting iermanent, Substantial economies in. marketing and distributing as any re- adjustment of present marketing methods could do. The fact that a large percentage of these losses can be avoided by proper grading, pack- ing, and shipping, together with prompt, efficient handling while the goods are in process of distribution makes It Imperative that this subject be given special consideration by those Interested in the efficient marketing of farm crops.

In England they are specu- lating on the results of a death list of half a million-adult workers, though the actual death list for Great Britain as yet falls far short of 100.000. Here, on the contrary, the decline in adult labor Is already a fact. There is lit- tle prospect of an end to the war be- fore 1916, and it will be some time after peace before the stream Of Immi- gration sets in again. In other words, by the summer of 1916 this country will have at least a million less work- era than It would have had If there had been no war. The subtraction of such a fraction of our labor supply will be felt, though the war. In all its consequences, has brought such con- fusion that the effects will probably not be an clearly marked as if the same phenomenon had occurred in times of peace. - Irish Stay Hems. A study of the fall in immigration by countries throws light on various phases of the great conflict in Europe Thus we have heard much of the fail ure of Ireland to rally to the Allied cause, and there have been stories of the emigration; of great numbers of young Irishmen for the purpose of avoiding enlistment and possibly con- scription. Tet there has been a falling off in Irish immigration of 10,000 from the figures of some 25,000 for last year, or a decline of 40 per cent, whereas im- migration from England has declined only 87 per cent. That is, fewer Irish- men have left the United Kingdom during the year of war than Eng- lishmen. > Italian Decrease 60 Per Cent The most extraordinary decline has been in Italian Immigration, a fall of 238,000 from last year's total of 284,- 000, or more than 80 per cent. Un- doubtedly, the Italian government checked emigration by calling men to the colors, though Italy's participation came only within the last two months of the year In question. Yet It Is hard to escape the impression that many thousands of Italians remained at home In anticipation of war, presum- ably out of a sense of patriotic duty. If we wish wo can rear into this fact a proof of the popularity of the war against Austria. On the other hand, it would appear that from the Russian and Hapsburg empires, participants in the war from the beginning, the emigration Mil off only 60 per cent â- *â- *â-  SALT OUTPUT OF 14 BEATS Almost) 35 Million Barrels, With Total Value Ex- ceeding Ten Mil- 7 lion Dollars.

"What!" pried the mistress to ner i.ew maid, whom She had found sit- ting down in the library with her hands folded. "Here you are sitting down! Why you were sent In here to dust the 100m!" "Tee, ma'am," was the girl a reply, "but I have lost the duster, and so I am sitting on each of the chairs in turn!" , The salt industry Is In some respects unique among' the mineral Industries. Although most of the metallic and of the other nonmetallic Industries re- flect industrial world conditions and sometimes sharply fluctuate with them, the salt Industry, presumably from Its Intimate association with the food supply of man, forges slowly but stead- ily ahead, generally keeping pace with the Increase in population. There haa been a steady downward trend in the cost of this most necessary commodity, owing to the abundant sources of sup- ply and also to the great advances made in the teat few decades in meth- ods of manufacture. The widespread distribution of salt, however, haa led to great multiplication of manufactur- ing plants, so that plant capacity has greatly outstripped demand. This has tended to lower prices and to Increase greatly efficiency of operation In the plants that have survived the keen competition. Exceeds All Records. The salt production of the United States in 1914 was the greatest yet re- corded, according to W. C. Phalen, of the United States Geological Survey, namely, 34,804,683 barrels of 280 pounds each, or 4,872,666 short tons, valued at $10,271,358. Compared with the production of 1918, which was the largest previously recorded, there was an Increase in production of 405,385 barrels and of $148,219 In value. The domestic marketed production of salt In 1914 waa 34.804,683 barrels and the Imports were 934,319 barrels, the sum of the two quantities being 86,789,008 barrels. This figure, how- ever, does not represent the quantity consumed, for there were exported 687,818 barrels, leaving for home use 85,161,184 barrels, an Increase of 148,- 486 barrels over the consumption of 1913. The Imports declined 171,147 barrels, compared with 1918, but the exports increased 85,768 barrels. The Imported salt constituted only 8.7 per cent of the domestic consumption. Occurs in Two Forms. Salt occurs naturally In two distinct ways, as rock salt in beds or associat- ed with bedded or sedimentary rocks, and In the form of natural brines Or bitterns. It is prepared for market by simply mining, crushing and cleaning the rock salt, or by evaporation, which may be either natural, as when the sun's heat Is utilised, or artificial, when steam or direct heat is applied.
