CHAMBER BUREAU
WILL SERVE. ALL

The employment registration bu-
reau to be installed by Secretary
Manager Joseph Perkins, of the Cham
Der of Commerce, while intended pri.
marily to place returning soldiers IN
their old positions or to find new
places of employment for them, is
ready TO render service to anyone,
M. Perkins announced today in :
statement further explaining his
plan and the service to be given 20
the public.
Mr. Perkins statement follows:
1T is my intention to Immediately
begin the installation of a registr l.
ton bureau for the purpose of as
sisting those who wish employment
of any nature whatever in Americas
or Sumter county to secure positions
Especial attention will be gwen TO
placing returning soldiers, either in
their former positions Or in new
places; however the service to be
rendered will be open to any one.
THE War Department has al
ready commenced the homeward
movement of troops who have been
stationed in France and demobiliza-
ton of those in training at home
camps is under way. 1t is highly
probable that these men will begi1
arriving at their homes within the
next few weeks in increasing mum
bers. More than a thousand gave up
their positions in Sumter county in
order to respond to the calls of their
country and it is the sacred duty nt
every one of our citizens to do all
within their power to the end that
these men shall be taken care of upon
their return home. Some of them
may come back to us incapacitatcd
for their former positions and IN
such cases special provision must be
made.
In order that we may begin COM
piling such data as will enable us 10
handle the situation to the very best
advantage, it is urged that every
employer in Americas and Sumter
county advise the Secretary OF the
Chamber Of Commerce just as prompt
~ as possible how many men can be
used, nature of work, compensation,
etc.
1.-The bureau to be established will,
as a matter OF fact, be in the nature
Of a clearing house through which
employer and employee can be
brought together and there will be no
charges for services rendered. The
co.. peration of business men, farm
ers and others is earnestly request
ed in order that Americas and Sum
ter county may demonstrate that the
sacrifices made by our boys shall
not be forgotten"

he will tell you that the first step
in the treatment Of a aold, cough, in
fluenza or grippe should invariably he

the nausealess calomel. called Gallo

to break up a severe cold over night

possibly prevent pneumonia.

Griffith Rehearsed One Scene 121
Times Before Satisfied

When Hearts of the World is

few in the audience who will realize
that one single scene of this master
production was rehearsed exactly

was spent is neither elaborate nor

was consumed on it and why the

sought from the faces of the talented
juvenile players, Lillian Gish and
Robert Harron. Untold or unwarned,
probably nobody would single out
this one scene as the work of nearly
two years, yet everybody will note
the expression of reverence on the
faces of the two players as Mr.. .Har-
hon slips the band of gold on the
slim finger of Miss Gish, and looking
upwards. says: IF we are taken, God
will know that we died man and
wife.
This scene was rehearsed two
years ago; in fact it was the first
scene rehearsed and the last to, be
Shot. In the interim. during all the
long weary months on the battlefields
of France. this scene was gone over
again and again. Miss Gish herself
tells of rehearsing it also in a Lon
don hotel, on the boat to France, on
the battlefelds with shells screaming
overhead, on the way back to Amer
lea, in a New York hotel and on the
train to Los Angeles. But like the
searcher Of old Griffith did not find
his Holy Grail until one day upon
his return to his home in Pasadena,
| California when the three were again
going over the wedding compact, he
caught just fleeting glimpse of the
expression he wanted.
He was like a child with a new
, toy" says Miss Lillian Gish. Il never
have seen him happier than when,
on that afternoon, he sent for his
camera man, and secured the scene
just as he wanted it."
1t would of course be unfair to say
that this one scene stands out among
all the rest in such production as
Hearts of the World" for the sim
pie reason that there are many hun
dreds of equally painstakingly pre-
pared scenes, each one measured by
the unerring and critical eye Of this
master producer.
David Wark Griffith, who is by all
odds the David Belasco of the motion

just as an artist bent upon painting

daub of paint to get his effect. The
aggregate effect determines the mas
