sion of Congress. to create woman's

what they are getting for it. the con-
ditions under which it Is being done
and it's effect upon the health Of such

The need of such n division is obvi-
GUS, declares the committee. and rests
mainly upon the following propositions:
The growing army of wnge-earning
women creates problems In the indus
trial world of far-reaching Importance
to the public as whole.
Solutions of these problems can be
erected only through the continuous
and constructive studies which recog-
niZ" not only the stmilarities but tho
essential differences in conditions sur
rounding wage-earning women and
wage earning men.
The record OF twenty-five years
the work of a division designed TO as
certain the facts concerning women in
industry cannot be continuous and co.
hcrcnt because its resources have been
uncertain, it's activities Intermittent
and its very existence q matter OF
chance.
Tho bill provides for Il chief. a
woman. who is to consult and coop
crate with the chief Of the Children's
bureau and the chief of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. Eighteen other posi-
lions are provided for. The salaries
range from 5000 To S3,500.

METRO WONDERPLAY
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY

The Columbia offers a very pleasing program today. It consists of the Pathe News. Max Figman Comedy. Lionel Barrymore in "'rhe Quitter' and the Death Valley Dodge pictures.
 In The Quitrer,' the new five-act screen masterpiece produced by Metro Rolfe Photoplays, Inc, the eminent star, Lionel Barrymore, has a part totally different from that of his previ- ous picture, "DQrians Divorce" Mir. Barrymore's wonderful versatility finds its fullest expression in The Quitter" and his role has demanded of him a delineation that ranges from pathos to humor, with frequent touches of su- preme drama.
 'The Quitter," which was written by Izola Forester is a play of western ranch life, and MT. Barrymore char acter in it presents decided contrast to the polished gentleman of affairs of his former production. Rough and ready, willing to fight a foe or give away every cent he owns to help friend, Happy Jack" Lewis is a part for the great delineator of character to revel in. As MT. Barrymore's op- posite in this colorful picture of Para disc Gulcf is pretty Marguerite Skirvin, a dainty actress new to Metro audi ences, who will be remembered for many successes on the speaking stage
 The story sets forth how the miners of Paradise Gulch decide that someone must marry to relieve the monotony of the camp. so they make Happy Jack the victim. and make him advertise for wife, who must be a blonde. Among the many answers one beautiful face glows like a star among the ugly ones .n-zGlad Mason, whose life is being bur Fuened by the obnoxious attentions of her employer, mining promoter.

James Douglas. and others of wide mining knowledge and experience
 MT Graton, whose activities in the field of geologic study have been large Tn their scope. expressed himself while here as being enthusiastic over the geologic and scenic attractions of the district and was intensely inter- ested in the mineral possibilities of the section as whole. This investi- gation, from the standpoint of the forces behind it, and the value of the reports made as a result of the re- ceut examination of the geologic for nations of the country will undoubt- edIy bear special significance to the future development of the mining in- dllstry of the Jerome field

Lamara Offers "The Beast"

How does 1t feel to be dirty?
 George Walsh, the neatest man in movies, who is the matinee idol of all movie fans of female persuasion, has learned the answer to this great ques- tion. In his latest William Fox pie ture, "The Beast" George Walsh has to be dirty,-unutterly irretrievably dirty
 Walsh plays the role of Del Burton, upon whom the little girl from the East has cast the stigma of the beast" To fit the part. he had to look like a beast, so he went for several days with unshaven beard, and un- kempt hair. Then he began acting.
 Dainty Anna Luther did not have to use her acting ability to it's fullest in shrinking, mortified from the West erner. He was sight to make any woman in soft silks cry out. When he threw his arms about her, and lifted her high in the air, Anna Luther shrieked.
 That's great" cried the director. If I could only register that shriek.' 5
 But Miss Luther was not acting She was crying out in real terror for she knew her beautiful gown was get ting muddy and dirty. She was real ly getting more than she wanted. After it was all over, she asked George Walsh how it felt to be dirty The smile he drew should not be rec orded in respectable print. It's bad enough to be dirty" he said but it's worse when anyone sees yot in such state. Why the little chil- dren cry when they see me, and womer run blocks. I feel like a Mexican greaser, and l suppose I look mucl 1 worse"

''CASEY AT THE BAT"
 AT ARIZONA TO-DAY

Tragedy in comic guise recently as sailed De Wolf Hopper in connection with his new Triangle picture, Casey at the Bat" to be seen at the Arizona theater. today and tomorrow. Let him tell it himself.
 "Of course Casey has to make home run, and he has to strike out. The lat ter was easy; but the first did not seem-Well-quite so simple.
 We rented little ball park out in Lankershim and the local folks turned out in force to fill the grandstand and bleachers. The teams were made up partly from Lankershim players. part ly from Fine Arts players, and they were good teams.
 Holy mackerel, What fun we had! I went to bat for the home run hit, and it felt like old times. The pitcher was a local man, and he meant busi- ness. He sent me a hot one across the edge of the plate, and the ball went straight up in the air.
 'The next was right over the pan and I slapped it on the snoot-a corker! It sailed out over the field and didn't rise thirty feet from the ground-a real home run hit. l was proud of it, tel you!
 And the tragedy is. the camera doesn't prove it. 1 hit the ball so hard it didn't photograph, and no one vii ever know for sure whether the proud est achievement of my motion picture career is real or not. Can you beat l that?"

Charlie Chaplin in One A. M.-Last
 Time Today.

Today the Lion theater presents for the last time, Charlie Chaplin in his remarkable one man comedy entitled One A. M" It is nrobably the first time in movie history that one man at tempts to hold an audience in laughter for two thousand feet of film, yet Chaplin does so in One A. Nj" and his performance of the character of man who comes home "a little worse for wear and trying very hard to get to bed,. is extremely funny. "Arma dale,'' three act drama adapted from the novel by Wilkie Collins and featur- ing Alexander Gaden and Iva Shepherd, is also on the Lion program today, as well as the Mutual Weekly, which con- tains many interesting subjects. To- morrow the Lion will present Anita Stewart and Earle Williams in The Juggernaut," a wonderful railroad pie ture which was made under the direc-
