record in 1925 in the metallurgical in
dustry in the United States were in
dicated by reports from operating
companies to the Bureau of Mines.
The industry as a whole employed
58,935 men, or 2,739 more than in
1924. The death rate from accidents
at the plants was reduced from 0.87
per thousand employes in 1924 to 0.66
per thousand in 1925 and the injury
rate per thousand employes was re
duced from 131 to 116. These injury
rates include all accidents serious

IN OASIS IN THE DESERT
OF THE COMMONPLACE
Motion pictures sometimes take on
the analogy of panning gold—much
material must be sifted and separated
to find the elusive nugget. This com
parison might justly be made with re
spect to the film now showing at the
Liberty theatre, ‘‘Clothes Make the
Pirate.” It comes as an oasis in the
desert of commonplace productions
with their rethreshed material of love,
tragedy and scandal, in that it em
bodies excrutiatingly grotesque and
amusing ingredients with quaint and
historical background of scene and
speech.
Such films are inspiring ni that they
help banish the serious matters of the
day and give everyone a "chance to
indulge a riot of laughter and care
free romping with the actors through
out the entire unraveling of the au
thor’s plot.
If you are grouchy or blue, “Clothes
Makes the Pirate” will serve as a
stimilant to make you forget it.—
