Is . pretty face SUFFICIENT beauty for
q picture star?
Not these days.
The society play is more and more
coming into ito own. Producers are
learning many things, and one Of them
IS the great attraction which this sort
Of play presents to women. They like
to see the hero in chaps and sombrero,
the heroine in calico or tatterg, when
the story demands-but they also want
to gaze upon heroes and heroines IN
evening clothes of the latest mode.
To be beautiful in an evening gown
requires more than a pretty face.
Shapely arms are most necessary. And
there is many a pretty girl whose arms
are too plump or too thin, whose ell
bows are prominent or her wrists
bony.

New York Food spectators have
been stung hard by the housewives
who refused to pay from 10 to !.
cents a pound for their Thanksgiy- e
ing turkey. AS a result OF the boy
colt the dealers are facing a heavy
loss. But they have hopes. There
is Christmas and New Year coming
on in the wake of the Thanksgiving
market. And the spectators hope
New York housewives will forget
They hope the Thanksgiving boycott
on turkey was just passing flare
up of people excited by the news
papers. They hope that with the
passing of the news about high pric-
es from the front page and the turn
ing of certain emotional women to
other activities than boycotting food
there will be a chance to reap the
harvest at Christmas time on 4O-
cent turkey that was refused them at
Thanksgiving. For that reason there
wer no turkey bargains offered. In
stead barrel after barrel of the fresh
killed turkeys were being wheeled
into storage warehouses. The spec
ulators were touched on the raw be-
cause of what the housewives did 10
them The wholesale men are very
much disgruntled. On all sides they
are complaining of their losses but
declare that New Workers will only
be too glad to pay 10 cents a pound
for the bird about Christmas time,
Housewives declare tho spectators
have killed their taste so thoroughly
that turkeys will not sell at any price.
The Housewives League, Food Com
missioner Hartigan and others made
1t clear today they would not let the
speculators forget they are alive when
the Christmas market starts They
were fully aware the spectators ev-
er bought at high prices and that
they put the birds in storage rather
than take big losses now, in hope OF
high prices at Christmas. They eX-
pressed a determination to keep tur-
key as tasteless to the aroused
American palate then as now.

TALK LESS; MORE ACTION.

Reports from Washington about
the intentions Of the administra-
tlon in regard to food problems
ARE more likely to aggravate than
TO alleviate the situation Talk Of
ia food shortage, of a food dicta-
torship and other sensational pro
posed remedies, is playing right
INTO the hands Of food spectators
because it will provoke a rush to
buy and thereby still further
boost prices. Those who can af-
ford to lay in Supplies at present
prices will be alarmed into doing
so with the result that the prices
cXtortcd from the less fortunate
will be so much the greater. That
was the experience in England in
the early days Of the war and was
responsible for a period Of panic
prices there.
The trouble is that everybody in
official circles is anxious and
ready to talk about what might
be done and that nobody is doing
worth while. If there
has been, as charged, conspiracy
TO increase prices, il should not be
beyond the power Of the Depart
mcnt Of Justice and the many
agencies of the government, ma
tonal and state and municipal, to
prove it and break ii up. All
