% CADILLAC CARS USED
AT ONE MOVIE STUDIO
Film Stars and Managers at Holly
wood (Cal.) W,Ork-Place Show
Strong Preference.

Motor cars long have been an i'm
portant part of the equipment of mo-
ton picture production studios, and
of the Individual film-folk; but as a
rule, the cars in use at studios some
times represent a dozen different
makes. The exact opposite of this IS
true at the Hollywood (CaL) studio
of the Famous Players-Lasky Co.,
where % Cadillacs are owned by the
company, and various executives and
stars.
Motion picture people have an ex-
cellent opportunity, in their daily
work, to observe the actual perform
ance of cars other than their own.
Their trips to locations where scenes
are filmed are frequently hard runs.
and they can see how their own cars
and the others behave. The fact that
so many Cadillacs have been put into
service at the Hollywood studios, both
by the company and the players
themselves, is a testimonial to the
| cars efficiency in the exactinG and
continFe1s service demanded.
The latest Cadillac added to the
| fleet at Hollywood is a sage green
| imperial limousine for Cecil B. De
Mile, the producer. Other Cadillac
owners at the same studio include
| Mary Pickford. Jack Holt, Allan

FEW LOAN DEFAULTERs.

Favorable reports are being received
by the Liberty Loan Committee insNew
York on the outcome Of the arrange
ment for the sale Of Liberty Bonds on
the partial payment plan. While sta
tistics are not obtainabla from all dis
tricts those available shew that the
percentage Of persons who paid for
bonds on installments and later were
obliged to discontinue payments was
surprisingly small
In New England the Liberty Loan
Committee was able to obtain reports
from several hundred corporations
showing the number Of subscribers to
the first and second loans on the par
tial payment plan and the number who
were forced to discontinue payments
A summary of reports from S12 cor
poratfons show that only 81 per cent
of the subscribers to the second loan
defaulted IN payments as compared
with 10 per cent. who defauted In the
first loan. These figures are all the
more remarkable because IN almost
every case the number Of suoScrfp-
tons to the second loan was much
larger than in the first
The report of Massachusetts, was
Characteristic. In this state 389 en-
ployers reported OF their 1o0356 EN-
pIoyees the number subscribing 10 the
first loan was $500, Of whom q per
cent. defaulted in subsequent pay
ments. To the second loan 54,S7S sub
scribed and only 5 per cent. defaulted.

ENGLISH FOR
BIG FRUIT CROP

London, April ia bumper fruit
crop, probably exceeding even the
record crop of last year, is indicated
in the agricultural forecasts. The
chief difficulty this year, as last, will
be the provision of the five million
baskets required to handle the drop.
Before the war practically all fruit
baskets were Imported. but under the
spur Of necessity, the old English
basket weaving industry has been re-
vived to considerable extent. The
Government Is now encouraging the
opening of discriminating centers as
village industries in all the willow
growing districts, and in some places
German prison labor is being extern
sively employed

It is for this reason the women OF
the country are asked to put their
spare garments at the service Of the
world as measure Of pure economies,
conservation and patriotism. The
Commission for Relief has the ships.
the women the clothing, and in the
vessels carrying cargoes Of grain and
other foodstuffs there win be room
for all the clothing donated for the re
lief of the sufferers In Belgium and

Cross is appealing to the people OF the
nation to meet this most pressing need.
All who have clothing which they can

LIVERPOOL LEADS
IN SOLVING FOOD
SAVING PROBLEMS
Municipal Kitchens Estab-
lished Which Set Exam
PIE for Other Cities.
SUPPLY HOUSEWIVES
WITH BOILED WATER
Cookshops Give Dinners to
Families Of Four At
Nominal Cost.

Liverpool, April 16-Liverpool, the
leading the whole country in solving
the food shortage problem. It has
municipal kitchens which are models
and work more efficiently than those
in any other part of the kingdom. 1t
sets every other city in the country
an example by maintaining a NUM-
cipal potato peeling plant and cooking
the potatoes for the bakers to mix
with their flour.
Its latest enterprise is supplying
householders with boiling water for
cooking and washing purposes and
thereby causing a great saving in
fuel
LiverpooTs city fathers are very
proud of their efforts to make their
people the most comfortable in the
country In these days of enforced
economy. With a display of pride
they gladly show visitors these new
ways Of meeting the food shortage
They take them along the streets
wheMe butchers shops are shut fol-
want Of meat. A sign on the meat
market reads, why buy meat from
the butcher when you can get it ready
cooked at the food depot?" The ar.
gument is unanswerable particularly
when there is no meat to buy at the
butchers
There are eleven municipal cook
shops where a family of four nigh
buy and take away a satisfying din
ner for % cents. Stewed steaks, po
tatoes and buildings are the principa
articles.
An enterprising city engineer ha-
set up an engine which runs a ma
chine that peels tons of potatoes il
a few minutes, and also supplies steam
to great cauldrons in which the pc
tatoes are cooked. This enterpris
supplies a clean and wholesome flou
to the bakers which is mixed will
wheat -four and helps to produce
delicious bread.
At the food depots a person cal
buy for a cent great bucket o
boiling water, and the population i
being encouraged to come for thi
boiling water in order to save coal
Instead of buying coal to boil a ket
tie for cocoa or tea, people can ge
as much water as they want for
cent.
Those responsible for Liverpool
enterprise declare that results hav
already shown that a workman's fam
lily can live much better and NOR
economically by buying its meals a
the food depots than by doing its owl
cooking.

help BELGIANS!
IS APPEAL IN
CLOTHING drive
Red Cross Asks for Apparel for
the Destitute in Occupied
Territories.

Up in the attic, hung in the closet
or laid away on the shelf, are clothes
no one wants, that never will be used
and only exist as an invitation to
moths. Belgium needs these clothes,
and the Commission for Relief of this
brave, little country is asking the wo-
men of America, through the Ameri-
can Red Cross, to clear out their store
rooms and send these garments where
they are SO sore1y in demand.
A minimum quantity of 5000 tons
of clothes are needed for the destitute
Belgians. With the Commission for
Relief in Belgium and Red Cross Chap
tiers all over the country appealing to
the people to contribute apparel to the
Belgium Clothing Fund it is expect
ed that more than the minimum guam
tity will be collected. The campaign
is to continue seven days, ending
March Is.
In letter to Henry P. Dawson,
chairman of the Red Cross War Coun-
ell, Herbert Hoover, chairman for the
Commission for Relief in Belgium, de-
scribed the plight of the Belgian peo-
pie as follows:
"The practical entire exhaustion Of
clothes, shoes and leather in occupied
Belgium and northern France and the
shortage Of these necessities in the
worlds market are making it increas-
ingly difficult for the Commission for
Relief In Belgium to keep clothed and
shod the unfortunate people of these
occupied territories.
Shoes and Blankets Needed.
'1n addition to new material, we
need gifts of used and surplus cloth
ing and shoes, blankets, flannel and
cloth in large quantities from the peo-
pie of the United States"
Although the clothing contributed to
the relief of BelgianS need not be
new, it is said, it must be strong and
, durable, for it will be subjected to the
hardest kind Of wear. Nor is it neces-
sary for clothing to be in perfect re-
pair, as there are upward of 100000
women in northern France who can
sew ana patch garments and make
them presentable.
These women were modified and
trained into marvelously efficient or
ganizatioQ early in the war, while
there was still raw material to be had,
for the ripping, repairing and remak-
ing of old clothes. They are happiest
when at work, having less time to
dwell upon their misery, and they have
been looking forward with dread to
the day when, their garments finished
and the material exhausted, they would
have to lay down their work and await
their turn to receive the next supplies.
The native stock has long since been
used up. and since the first deyasta-
ton of their country no commercial
| imports have come in.
