HERO WORSHIP PITFALS:--
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Have you the habit of sending let
ters to your favorite motion picture
actor? Do you write and ask favors
of the last successful playwright =?
When you read an interesting story do
you Immediately sit down and send q
request to the author to read a few
little things of yours?'
There is no more trying phase of
success than the fact that 1t brings
with it all sorts of claims for as
sistance. Every successful man or
woman has friends and relatives to
whom he would undoubtedly like to
give help and to help whom he is
probably unable.
Surely any one who offers the
public entertainment or food for
thought is doing service then and
there: and that service ought not
put him in the position of being
subjected to all sorts of demands
from enthusiastic strangers.
II you are a hero worshipper and
must deluge your favorite star or
author with letters, limit yourself
to an expression of appreciation and
don't demand advice. assistance, in
terviews, or any form of personal
attention.
The work the average success
full playwright, actor or author
does is exacting and laborious and
demands all the nervous energy and

In the November American Maga-

But these are not the diseases that
we are fighting in civilized countries

backwardness of the community or
the forwardness of antivaccination
cranks prevent universal vaccination
There is practically no typhus or yell

we have to fight are tuberculosis, cam

Most deaths and serious illness are
due to these causes. The easily pre-
ventable diseases are now either pre-
vented and gone, or reduced to minor

attention to routine of which that
individual is capable.
Why should he be asked to pay
secretary to wade through all
sorts of letters from all sorts of
people, or be himself compelled to
read literary effusions or plead for
charity from people whose pride
and common sense are totally lack
ing in that they do not keep the
individuals from imposing on the
time and thought OF a stranger?
To write to some one whose busi-
ness 1t is to deal with the problems
OF others-a social worker or the head
of an institutions a perfectly logi-
cal thing to do. But why should any
one suppose that g. young woman who
has attained success on the stage has
either the time or the influence to ex-
plot strangers of whose talent and
ability she knows nothing?
If you are q hero worshipper be
an unselfish one; don't ask favors of
your divinity and then condemn her
because your letters go unanswered.
One clever young friend of mine,
whose first play was a Broadway sue
cess, sometimes got hundred letters
day from people who wanted their
manuscripts read. Had they gotten
their wish there would never have
been a second play written.

SHOULD TEACH
GIRLS BUSINESS
Only Training in Making a
Living Will Make Them
Free
BY DOROTHY DIX

There are millions of parents in
these United States to-day who are
wondering just what to do with their
Mamie or Sadie, who graduated from
high school last June. They have
neither the inclination nor the money
to send her off to college. They are
we'll enough off for her not to be
forced at once into office, or store, or
factory.
They don't want her to spend her
time gadding the streets with other
idle girls and boys, and so the prob
lem of what to do with Mamie's and
Sadie's superfluous time and energy
is problem that keeps them awake
of nights.
Let me implore the parents of such
girls to settle the question in the only
right way by setting their daughters
to learn some gainful occupation by
which they can earn an honest living
If the need ever comes to them.
Only Training in How to Make a
Living Can Make a Girl
Truly Free
We women talk a lot about the
wrongs of our sex, but every political
injustice and social injustice that has
ever been perpetrated against us sinks
into nothingness before the wrong that
our parents do us in not teaching us
some way to support ourselves.
They send us out into the world
helpless and defenceless, with no
weapon with which to protect our
selves. They put us at the mercy
of poverty and cold and hunger and
brutal men, for these are the cruel
lot of the woman in need who knows
no way of making enough money to
provide for her daily wants. 1t is the
crime of all crimes, and that it is COM
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-11-03

mitted in the name of love does not
palliate it, nor change its effect.
Life at best is full of chances. No
body can tell what few years may
bring forth. Riches take wings and
fly away. Relatives and friends die
off. The most promising marriages
often end in disaster.
No human foresight can altogether
protect a girl against the contingent
cies of fate, but If we have trained
her to some trade or profession so that
to make a decent living. we have at
least warded off from her the worst
blow of disaster. We have given her
an anchor to the windward that will
hold her safe while the storm blows
over her.
Many Girls Could Have Been Saved
if Their Parents Had Trained
Them to Work
Teach your girls some way to sup
port themselves because it Is the
surest way to protect them against
temptation. Suppose, father there
should come some crash in business
that would sweep away your little for
tune. and you should die leaving your
family penniless. Such catastrophes
happen often, and girls gently and
delicately reared as yours are thrown
suddenly out into the world to sink
or swim.
If your girl has a good trade at her
fingers ends, she will swim safely into
shore. But If she knows nothing on
earth to do that will earn enough to
keep soul and body together, you know
what Is almost sure to happen when
her clothes are in rags when she is
shivering with cold, when she is
starved and despairng.
1t is the girls who have no skilled
labor to sell who sell themselves, and
their sins are on their parents heads.
Their parents could have saved them
by teaching them how to make an
honest living.
Girls should be taught some gainful
occupation, because 1t gives them self
respect to be producers instead of
wasters and spenders. 1t makes them
feel that they are of some use In the
world. 1t gives them a broader out
look on life and turns them from play
things into intelligent human beings
with an aim and purpose.
