Harold Bell Wright'e parly masterpiece, the film version of which may be seen at the Elsinore, yesterday was ac corded by various prominent mem bers of the clergy of Salem. "The production of such pic tures as 'The Shepherd of the Hills' certainly should be'encour- aged in every way possible. de clared the Rev. Dr. II. D. Ctiam bera. of the Episcopal church here. "I was pleased to have mem bers of my family witness it. and they spore of it very highly." Dr. Martin Ferrey was excep tionally generous in his comment. "It is a pleasure," he declared, "to add my endorsement. "The Shepherd of the Hills' is truly re markable. Dr. F. C.

Mr. Ripley took the cases of the hodcarrier and the man with the hoe as examples in answering tliote who apparently harbor a grievance against the increasing inroads of electricity upon manual work. "Some felt it ruthless to throw the poor old hodcarrier out of a job." remarked Mr. Ripley. "But think of the millions of jobs that have been created by electricity. Hodcarriers used to do the work of animals; now they have better jobs among the multitude of new jobs created by electricity. Then again, who would want to be a hodcarrier on a thirty-story build ing?

Three times more use is made of horse power, that is why. That is also why wages are nearly three times as high; for high wages in indus try depend on big power in indus try." Mr. Ripley's discussion of powei and its dirert result on life and living conditions was prefaced by an account of his airplaue travels in Europe. The frequent stops that he made in various countries w ere illustrated with slide" of pic tures from his own camera. He was able to contrast in an inter toting and humorous manner the wav that neoDle in Europe and Asia earn their daily bread and the modern methods that have raised tue standard of the American workers. 6.

The Marylander declared that he thought it was "an evil day when any candidate for the pres idency can be attacked from his sectarian character when his gen eral fitness for the office is uni versally recognized." He added that "the sort of bigotry" in which he charged Heflin engaged would drive Catholics from democratic .ranks into the republican party.
