 Be Prohibited.

Little Rock, July 24.-A proposed ordinance will be introduced in the city council tonight for the establish ment of safety district on Main street, for the better regulation of traffic where it is frequently congest- ed. The plan that has been worked out by council committee is modelled after that employed in the larger cit les, to some extent, modified to fit To- cal conditions. It will provide for the establishment of zones of safety ad- jacent to street corners when they stop at street intersections to take on and discharge passengers. No auto mobile shall be permitted to enter or pass through these zones of safety, which shall be designated by white lines painted on the pavement, with signal posts at the corners. Provis- ions will also be made against "jay- walking" in this restricted district, from Second to Seventh streets, and pedestrians will be required to cross streets only at intersections and then at right angles. With reference to the rights of vehicles and pedestrians, the proposed ordinance says:

Pretty Girls Have Hard Time
Getting a Chance.

whether or not beauty Is an as
set or a liability to an aspirant for
honors on the stage and In motion
pictures Is likely to become the sub
1ect for serious debate in dramatic
circles.
The controversy starts with the fat
statement by Madaiine Traverse.
one OF the new screen and we'll
known stage stars. that beauty isn't
an asset at all. On the contrary,
asserts Miss Traverse vehemently,
II Is a positive detriment TO a girl
who would climb the heights OF
OF the motion picture camera or on
the stage.
Miss Traverse has been rated for
some time as one of the most beauti-
full stock leading women In the
country, and she has also made her
mark In big productions. Washing
tonisns will best remember her in
the character OF the adventures In
The Seven Keys to Baldpate." and
she has also been seen here on the
stage In THE Chorus Lady" with
Rose Stahl; in Joseph and His
brethren" and In THE Woman's
Law"
She has just been Engaged for
one of the two leading feminine
roles in The Shielding Shadow"
which the Pathe company will be-
gin exhibiting in Washington as
its new serial film of adventure.
Qualities as Expert.
In the matter OF beauty, II
would. therefore. seem, Miss Trav-
erse would be an expert witness,
because she has plenty OF 1t in the
first place, and because she has
forced herself TO a rather impor-
tant position on the stage and
screen in spite of Il!
There Is no appeal In just beauty.
Miss Traverse asserts. II does not
inspire confidence in the public or
In the managers OF the theaters
and the picture plays unless the
person possessing IL can also show
some ability. The managers are
afraid of such type. She con-
tinues:
Beauty about which the poets
rave and for which artists are
eternally seeking-and incidental
ly seldom finding-when possessed
by a girl who must make her way
alone in the world hampers her
more than 1t helps her. particu-
larly In the early stages or her
struggle.
Managers and others think that
when a girl has good looks she
must be lacking in other attri-
butes, and they are surprised
when they find a combination OF
good looks and brains"
