EXTENSION OF TIME
 IN EMl RCENCY
Nine Hours in Day Long Enough for Girls to Work says Con- missionary Ciary-Requests Officials to Enforce Law.

Little Rock, Dec. Eve under stand that the hours for the young la dies will be heightened during the Christmas rush. Kindly let us know if this is so."
 This inquiry from Pine Blue mer- chant is a sample of many being re- ceived by the Commissioner of Labor from all over the state- Commission CT Clary has made the following state ment about it:
 ''The law was passed to protect wo- men, and the nine-hour clause of the minimum statute was especially put in for that purpose. Only in the case of emergencies in candy and canning factories can the hours be extended. I think the girl who works nine hours in Christmas time has worked long enough, and is entitled to some rest and enjoyment. If she is forced to work twelve or thirteen hours, she has no time for recreation. shall not agree to any extension of the hours of work, and shall request the sheriffs and chiefs of police to see that the law is enforced"

Chaplin Had Trouble
Making Directors
Accept His
Make.Up.

How many people are there who
are familiar with Charlie Chaplin's
comedy who realise that he had the
most difficult sort OF a time In get
ting the directors Of motion pictures
to permit him to use his curious
makeup. especially his shoes and
trousers in a motion picture?
Chaplin comedy 10 a thing apart in
motion pictures powadays, but when
1t was first suggested to the most
wide-awake OF comedy directors.
Mack Sennet. he could not grasp 1t,
and had the the greatest difficulty
trying to make Chaplain do things
his way. Chaplin wouldn't do his
work Sennet's way or in accordance
with the methods Of anybody else.
For q time there was every indiCa-
ton that Chaplin was not to be al
lowed to work In motion pictures at
all:
Then came the results from the
first showing of the pictures In which
he had appeared and the directors all
withdrew their comment. Chaplin
was told to 60 as far as he liked. In
the current issue of the Photoplay
Magazine Chaplin tells something Of
his struggles with sennet and the
company when he first started In
with his picture work.
ITO tell the truth" states the
magazine article. "he was miserab-
ly unhappy at first. and hated the
work in every way. Ford Sterling
had Just left the company, and 1t
was hoped that Chaplin would take
his place. They naturally looked
to see Chaplin work on the same
lines as the comedian they had
lost.
Chaplin. however, worked on en-
tirely different methods. Sterling
worked very rapidly. dashins hith-
er and thither at top speed. Chap
, Inns comedy was slow and deliber-
ate and he made a great deal out
of little things-little subtleties.
They tried to force him to take up
the Ford Sterling style. and Chap
lin refused. That Is to say, he
wouldn't. He just listened to what
they had to say; then did 1t in his
own way.
The net result was a very sultry
time. Chaplin's first director was
Pathe Lerhmann. They quarreled
