VIII OnnlpOC6nC.
Many an actress has found she
has been made a star over night be-
cause the manager has decided an
other name in electric lights over one
OF his theaters is necessary to fur
Their his plans.
Before l began to rehearse Elga
the manager came ITO me and said,
DO you know, little girl, there hasn't
been a star made in five years? I'll
make you one as soon as you get a
little more accustomed to the tech
nique Of the stage. You have the
face and the personality and I'll back
you to finish
1T seemed my success was Just
within reach and l took my part
home and studied it very carefuIly.yI
thought it all out, particularly that
great scene where I told my love to
Earnest in a youthful, childish way.
Love has made Elga a woman, I
said to myself, and Loyalty, devoted
ly, cOurageously she will tell her low
er this. There will be no cOquettish-
ness, for when woman is cOquettish
she is acting.
But when Iattempted to play the
part that way was stopped by a
voice like that of the bull of Bashan.
g Here, Miss Newton, put some
acting into that. Move your arms
and look the part. Remember, you
are innocently wooing your lover
81 could not tell him no woman,
however young, woos innocently, US
ing the word in the sense of being
ignorant of what she is doing, for by
telling him this 1 would tear down
one of mans most cherished ideals
of woman.
And so, like every other woman
since the world began, 1 decided to
act-nOt as a woman would act in
love, but as a man thinks she should
act, and it was my greatest success
on the stage"

HOME COMING OF SOLDIERS

The home coming of the Idaho sol
der boys from the Mexican border
was certainly gala event in the his
tory of this state. The second regi-
ment won the confidence and respect
of the people everywhere as well as
of the army officers while they com
pared fayorably with the regulars at
the front, The open camp life and
splendid military discipline placed the
men in far better condition physically
than they were in when they left few
months ago. It was certainly great
experience for the boys and they re-
turned home very much benefited by
the stay in the south.
On their arrival here the members
OF the regiment were greeted by
thousands Of people, including fathers,
mothers, wives and sweethearts. who
had right to be proud Of those who
responded to their country's call for
defence. A finer lot Of fellows were
never before seen in this city. and It
feels honored BY their presence.

THF SHORTAGE OF LABOR

II has been heralded by the subsi-
died press that there is great short
age Of labor in the United States.
This cry comes from the great corpo-
rations who employ great number
OF laborers and who also run commits
saries and boarding houses in connec-
ton. II has been the custom Of these
employers TO keep on hand two Of
three times the number Of men need
ed for actual work and only give en-
ployment to them few days each
during the month 50 that board and
eommissary bills will absorb all Of
the wages paid. Now that more work
is required and their employees de-
mand more cash it is not so strange
10 hear the cry, shortage Of labor.

T.indIey Nj. Garrison, ex-sccretary

gun signal for the 1920 Democratic
nomination. He is among the NUM-
Der who are imbued with the foreign
invasion nightmare. Garrison has
about - much prospect Of becoming
Democratic possibility" as Jack

Democratic garment and ssandpat Re-
publican heart will rally around linn,
Of course, but this will be hailed with
delight in the West. Nothing would
suit us better than the course they are
now taking in helping Garrison put
himself forward They did their level
best TO defeat Wilson and failed. Pro-
gressive Democrats will not forget
their conception Of loyalty as read on
the political map in November and
mo Tammany paw will be visible at
that convention Of 1920 The Tiger
deliberately aided Hughes in order to
pay for city control Of patronage and
will pay the price Of Democratic sue

city election coming soon and we
have high hopes that its result will
at least put in another set Of rascaIs
who will fail down later from anna

the wish that in the years to come our
efforts to interest you may meet with
success. II shall not lack an earnest
effort on our part to greatly improve
the small beginnings already achieved
II takes time, patience, hard rustling
and the assistance Of our patrons and
friends 10 make success Of our work.
and we have endeavored in the past to
keep the standard Of the Gem Worker
fully up to the encouragement which
we have received. In order to make
a newspaper success we must have
readers and the more readers we can
obtain the more value paper will
have as an advertising medium. With
the present high price of printing ma
terial the subscription price will only
barely pay tor that alone, but as we
have already said that as its value is
enhanced by the increased number Of
its subscribers, it is placed at the low
est figure. We hope that the Gem
Worker has made many friends dur
ing the past two years and if it has
done so we ask that our friends now
help Us in this work of increasing our
subscription list and remember that
every dollar for subscription we re-
ceive viii be used in making improve
ments in our columns. We have set
our mark to obtain 5000 new subscrib-
ers the coming year and we ask our

time BY giving US boost all along
the line.

"The worlrinen IN the open-heartlI
department and boiler room werE
changed, in 1912, from system oi
two l2-hour shifts to one Of three 8
hour shifts To do this required M
creasing the number Of men in thk
open-hearth department from ~ to 81
but in the boiler room 1t was neces-
sary to increase the number of men
only from eight to 10. The hourly
wage rates of all the men concerned
were increased an average Of 20 PEI
cent. Exactly the same products wcrG
made under the two systems Of work
ing hours.
Under the 8-hour system, in spitE
Of the increase OF hourly rates thers
was slight decrease in the cost d
production. owing to the higher eff.
cheney Of the workers. There werF
very considerable reductions in thE
amount Of pig iron charged and in TIL

the quality Of the product was very

passed one man. The locals got five
