SWISS AVIATOR Will
FLY This AFTERNOON
Donenjoz Plans Flights South of
White House at 2:30 O'clock for
Scientific Delegates.

The Ellipse, south of the White House,
will be the scene of the activities of the
Swiss aviator, Domenjoz, this afternoon
in the first exhibition he will give of his
aeronautic skill to the people of Wash
ington. He will fly under auspices of the
Pan-American Scientific Congress today,
ascending at 2:3o and remaining in the air
as long as the weather permits. The day
when the activities of aircraft of the
monoplane and hiplane types must be
suspended because of bad weather is past
but all machines are more easily handled
in light winds and when the tempera-
ture is not too low than when the con-
ditions are more trying.
Beside the delegates to the Pan-Ameri-
can Congress the performances OF
Domenjoz will be watched with critical
interest this afternoon by a group OF
officers of the army and navy who have
been specially invited. And part of the
aviators program for tomorrow will be
an exhibition over the Capitol grounds
for the benefit of Congress. The hour
agreed upon for this exhibition between
the managers of Domenjoz and Senators

sentatives Padgett and Hay. the heads

WARNS PHYSICIANS TO
REPORT ALL BIRTHS
Health Department Says Data Is I'm
portant and Cites Cases of Ameri-
cans Detained in Europe.

A reminder to physicians to be more
prompt in reporting births to the Health
Department is continued in the weekly
bulletin Of the department issued yes
terday.
THE Importance of reporting births
to the health department, where they
are recorded and filed, cannot be i'm
pressed too strongly upon physicians
and midwives and the public generally
reads the report. THE questions of leg
itimacy. of age, inheritance, nativity and
of individual identity, are often dependent
upon official record of births"
The warning was prompted by the re,
ceipt OF letter from Washingtonian
in London, who had been arrested and
fined for failure to register as an alien,
He wrote for a copy of his birth certi-
ficate to prove his identity. The local
health authorities were compelled to In
form the stranded American that there
was no record of his birth.

Where is next years crop of hired girls
coming from? 1t Is years since the home
output supplied the demand and we have
been depending on Europe for our Bridg-
cts and Trinkss and Gretchens without
thought Of the future The war has now
nearly shut of that source of supply ad
there are few emigrant girls coming over
to sweep and scrub and spoil food In the
cooking.
II looks as though a lot of American
housewives would have to begin doing
their own work again Just as their grand--
mothers did. This. too. when good times
are close ne haud u you can believe
the reports.
May Be n Labor Famine.
Seriously, however, the war will soon
bring about a labor problem that will
have TO be reckoned with. Social econ
omlsts are beginning to worry about it
already. The immigration to this coun-
try last year fell off more than 10000
or about 70 per cent Of the last ten years
average. AS immigration will remain
low throughout the war and probably for
some time after its close, it's plain that
the labor situation here will be seriously
affected.
The records of employment agencies
and charitable Institutions show that
unemployment Is not now a pressing
problem After the recent snowstorm in
New York there was great difficulty in
hiring manual labor to remove the snow.
other cities report the same state OF
affairs.
1t is not improbable that next spring
will find the country with more work
than ever to be done and not enough
laborers to do II.
labor famine is a contingency that
It will be hard to meet.
Trust Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont to be
doing something. This time she has
written an opera about suffrage, and
Marie Dressler is to be the star in it,
That's why Marie was wreathed in
smiles and many furs when I met her

visable, for that's the way she moves
We expect it to be given all over the

wing OF studio whose pictures re-
lease through the finest of programs.
But she was not happy. Her mouth
dropped down at both corners and
her eyes were swimming with tears,
"Oh, Miss Pickford, you are jok-
ing, aren't you? | would be ashamed
to let any of my friends know | was
only getting fifteen dollars a week.
Why, have had three years training

if they give me a chance | could

them | had never been in pictures be-
won't it's
looked at her sadly. 81 wouldn't
try to deceive any one, if / were you,
for you are only really fooling your
self. A director knows the minute
he talks to girl how little or how
much experience she has had. Ny
advice to you is to take what they Of
fer you, work hard, and live down
that little falsehood which is stum-
bling block in your path to begin
with"
We talked for few minutes longer
and later / saw her agreeing with one
of the directors to report the follow
ing morning.
Tomorrow / will continue her ex-
perienccs, as they may prove lesson
to thousands of other young girls who
step into pictures, eager to climb up
the ladder toward success.

iris ask me-; How can 1 be-
n come a moving picture ac-
tress?" "Will you please tell
me how you reached the top of the
ladder?" "If you became SO popular
in such few years, why can't do
it, too?" Wont you please help me,
Miss Pickford"
And to all OF their breathless ques-
tions | answer: "There is no reason
why you should not rise from obscur-
ity to position-if it is within your
own hearts. minds; and ambitions to
do So"
When director says to girl: 81
think l can make clever actress out
of you," It does not mean that he
can mold that girl at will, develop
what is not in her and make an ac-
.tress out of wooden doll. He means
her endeavors toward helping herself
if she works hard, concentrates all
succeed, and sacrifices pleasure for
work, she will reach the goal they are
both striving for.
| have seen many girls come to the
studios eager for positions, and when
they are given the chance they fail
simply because they depend entirely
upon their looks. Other girls admire
some wcll-known star and attempt
to initiate her. They generally begin
by mimmicking her little manner
isms, dressing their hair in a SINH
lar fashion, and affecting the style
which is individual in the one they
admire, but strikes a false note in
the imitators. These girls last for such
a little while. Sometimes they arc
flattcred because a press agent re-
marks: sally Jones, the moving-pi
turc actress, is becoming we'll known
because of her likeness to Blanche
Sweet or Norma Talmaee." L tell the
girls that by Stimulating others they
kill their own individuality, and that
the keynote to success is naturalness.
Some girls make the mistake of
rushing ahead too fast. They are so
eager to become leading women they
will not go through the elementary
stages and learn to crawl before they
attempt to walk.
The Pretty Girl in the Studio.
The other day pretty young girl
brought me letter of introduction
from mutual friend, and l was very
glad to introduce her to the directors
of our studio. She was desirable
type, and very, very pretty.
They will probably give you a
guarantee to work three or four days
week at five dollars a day, Miss
Blank" l told her. "Thcn as soon as
as you prove to them you are an ac-
tress as well as pretty girl you may
be put in stock or given leading
part in feature film"
l looked at her, expecting to see
her face alight with pleasure. for it is
