is a screen version of Sir James M.

advice in the creation of a true British
atmosphere and real-life types was in-
valuable. He was present throughout
the filming of the picture and became
so enthusiastic over the production that
he declared his intention of entering
the scenario field in California as soon
as his discharge from the British army
could be effected. Barrie’s whimsical
story of the superintelligent English
butler, who dominated a party of lords

This great set was designed by John

before the ponderous masonry was

concrete supports beneath the stage to
hold the tremendous weight upon it.
An entire street was laid and paved

the sidewalks being practical, and the
corner fire-plugs. The scene showed

Pittsburgh Families Make Purchases in
Self-Defense.
By Associated Press.
Pittsburgh, Feb. 28.—More than 60,-
000 Pittsburgh families bought their
homes during the past year, not be-
cause they were particularly anxious
to own their own homes, but, according
to real estate men, they had to buy or
move. This is continuing at the same
rate thus far this year.
The home buying movement began
| two years ago when war activities in
I the mills brought scores of families
into a community where housing ac-
commodations had been increasingly
scarce for a number of years. Cost of
construction increased and this cur-
tailed building operations.
Rents have increased in proportion,
small houses and apartments showing
the highest percentage. Fifty per cent
raises for the coming year are said to
be common, while in some instances
100 per cent has been asked and paid
where the occupant could afford it.
"The demand is here and the living
places are not” is the way one real
estate man explained the situation.
Similar conditions prevail through-
out the Pittsburgh district. In some
manufacturing towns industrial cor-
porations are building and buying
houses for their men, while in Sharon,
Pa., the chamber of commerce has un-
dertaken to finance the construction of
500 residences.

JOHNSON FILES PAPERS.
Mr. Dennis points out that the price
of coal in Italy is ten times the price
in the United States and that this
cripples all Italy’s coal-consuming in-
dustries and upsets the balance of pro-
duction between Italy and her indus-
trial competitors. The American at-
tache says, however, that in his opinion
this condition is merely temporary and
will be improved with the lowering
of freight rates and the opening of new
sources of supply.
“I judge that Italy would be helped
at this juncture,” said Mr. Dennis, "if
attention could be called in the United
States to the opportunities now offered
for the investment of American dollars
in Italian enterprises. In my opinion
it would cause less future strain and
anxiety if a great part of the credits
which Italy desires abroad should nat-
urally come through the purchase by
Americans of Italian securities. Under
the present rates of exchange the in-
vestment of American dollars in Italy
appears to offer exceptional opportuni-
ties to the investor.
“Italy is the only one of the great
belligerent nations which has come out
of the conflict richer in manpower than
it went into it. Half a million men
were lost in the battlefield, but this
was compensated by the return of re-
servists and the arrest for three years
of the stream of emigration. Italy has
a population today exceeding the total
civilized population of South America
and is probably richer in manpower
than any like portion of the surface of
the earth. This eager abundant labor
in many instances is touched with a
genius for artistic creation, and con-
stitutes one of Italy’s most valuable
assets.” .

After discussing the matter at some
length yesterday afternoon, the board
of county commissioners decided to
hold a special meeting on next Thurs-
day at which representatives of the
various organized interests in the city
and on the mainland would be invited
to confer with the board as to the
amount of the road improvement bond
issued, which recently came officially
before the board in the shape of a pe-
tition for the issuance of one million
and a quarter dollars of bonds for the
construction of a cement highway be-
tween Galveston and the Harris county
line and the rebuilding of some other
of the county roads which are deterio-
rating, it is said, at a rapid rate.
The discussion opened with a state-
ment by Commissioner Stoner, chair-
man of the road and bridge committee,
stating that his committee had been
unable to reach an agreement as to
the size of the bond issue and intimated
that if a longer time was allowed, it
might be possible to reconcile differ-
ences and present a unanimous report.
Commissioner Hartel expressed his
doubt as to the ability to carry an is-
sue of the total amount asked; he had
consulted a number of citizens and
had been given a variety of opinions,
the concensus being that now was an
inopportune time for entering into a
big program of permanent road con-
struction. Most of those with whom
he had talked suggested that a small
bond issue, sufficient to cover neces-
sary work, be proposed and later it
would probably, be possible to enter
upon a more ambitious program. He
stated that’a false impression had gone
abroad to the effect that it had cost
$2,000 a mile for maintaining the coun-
ty roads and asked County Engineer
Sias to state what the real figures
were.
County Engineer Sias stated that
eliminating two contract's on Highway
No. 2, which could not be charged as
maintenance, the actual maintenance
cost per mile was $779.
OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
County Judge McCracken' called at-
tention to the statement made recently
by a federal road engineer to the fact
that the Galveston county main roads
were in good shape and this observa-
tion had been confirmed by 'those who
habitually use these highways; he
thought it would probably be better to
postpone any large bond issue for a
year or so and give the larger atten-
tion to developing the agricultural re-
sources of the county by putting lateral
roads in good shape, thus encouraging
the settlement of the county and the
cultivation of the land. He pointed out
that there were other obligations whicn
the taxpayers of the county would soon
be called upon to assume; riprap must
be placed outside the seawall where
it had been washed away by recent
storms, riprap must be placed outside
the East End seawall extension; the
protective measures back of the Sea-
wall boulevard, which now. ended at
Twenty-fourth street, must be pushed
westward to comply with the Gen.
Robert plan and there was the filling
back of the East End seawall which
must be considered.
In a recent conference, said he, held
with the United States engineers con-
cerning the'stoppage of work on the
East End seawall extension, it was in-
timated that the delay was because
of Galveston county evidencing a dis-
position to hold back on the question
of filling. Through Congressman
Briggs the information had come that
the federal government would not en-
tertain any suggestion of filling the
private property back of the seawall
extension. The cost of the filling had
been roughly estimated at $534,000. In
addition to this, it was pointed out
that the city contemplated submitting
certain matters to the voters involving
an increased tax rate, and in the light
of all these matters, it appeared un-
wise to attempt a heavy bond issue
at this time.
. ANOTHER MEETING.
Commissioner Soddeker proposed
that a meeting be held on Thursday
afternoon at which the entire matter
could be gone overwith the possibility
of reaching an understadning accept-
able to all parties. This would be a
conference, not an opportunity for ora-
tory; facts and figures would be a bet-
ter argument than words.
County Judge McCracken suggested
that it might also be well for the fi-
nance committee to prepare a state-
ment which, the press would be asked
to print, which statement would show
the bonded indebtedness of the city,
the present financial condition and
such other matters as would be en-
lightening in arriving at an opinion
on the matter before the court, and
this statement would be the basis for

“I have used and heard of Thedford’s
. Black-Draught for years, and I cer-
tainly have found it splendid for head-
ache, sour stomach, indigestion and
‘ other ills that come from a deranged
liver.
"My husband and I keep Black-
Draught in the house and think it is
splendid to keep off sickness. I have
used it in small doses as a laxative,
and there is nothing better.
I “Black-Draught is a mild liver medi-
cine... any child can take it. I have
found it splendid with them for colds.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has bene-
fitted thousands in relieving liver ail-
. ments. It helps to drive bile poisons
and other unhealthful matters out of
the system,
Black-Draught is a stand-by in thou-
sands of family medicine chests. It
sshould be in yours. Its use should help
to keep the whole family well. Prompt
