winning success en- the modern stage

Such Is the viewpoint of Ina Claire,

comedy, The Gold Diggers," and play
Ing the role of a chorus girl who pre-

other member OF the pony ballet.
Though Miss Claire has never under

and escape it-she feels she wouldn't
mind trying it, because Of the training
In versatility 1t gives-and a general
training is what most actresses need
even more than a marcel wave. The
reason so many players haven't de-
veloped themselves on all sides, Miss
Claire thinks. is that many managers
don't make them exert themselves
enough to disturb the makeup ON their
eyelashes.
Far from being hard and command

gent" said Miss Claire recently in her
dressing room at the Belasco Theatre
while rouging her nails and whitening
Ter hands and applying other of the
Belasco trade secrets. They are so
easy that men and women are encour-
aged to go on the stage who don't be-
long there and have no ideas OF act
ing, though blessed by nature with the
appearance Of type. Many persons
go on the stage because they consider

YOUNG PLAYERS AND SHAKE

"The modern stage is not supplying

Marlowe begi;:s his four weeks season
OF Shakespearian plays at the Shu-

place the demand for players of this
kind and the opportunities for study
are growing less each year. In the
second I fear the younger people are
less ambitious to work and grow in
their work. Yet II young man or
woman has the physical qualifica-
tons, possesses sufficient emotional
quality and a sense of beauty and can
articulate, there is no reason why he
should not become as good a CLASH

MOVES TO TWIN FALLS

Mr.. and Mrs. c. r. Wheeler laft this
week for their new home in Twin Falls
and it is not in a rhetorical sense al
all that the statement is made that nc
one family viii be missed in Shoshone
with deeper feelings of regret than
viii the Wheelers. They have been res
idents of Shoshone for 10 years and
during all of those years no persons
have been more active or public spir-

become custom, whenever any pub
lie work was 10 be done to paraphrase
the expression let George do it, to
read ''let Mrs. c. r. Wheeler do it" and
she was always ready for the job.
Mrs Wheeler possesses that rare quail
ity of character that enables her to
compose the differences of various
elements Of community and get har-
monious action by her own example or
unselfish performance OF tasks which
so often arouse jealousies and bicker-
ings and discord in a community
That is why she win be so greatly
missed in Shoshone and why Twin
Falls is to be congratulated on Sc
curing the Wheeler family as resi-
dents.

COAL STRIKE FACTS

Some onehuDdrcd ten and halt
million citizens af the United States
are shivering around half fed fires
these cold November days while a half
million coal miners are out on a Strike
and everybody is asking every body
else what the strike is all about. The
journal has been trying to sirt out the
facts from the mass of published mat
ter on that line and here is what it
seems to find.
The miners struck for an Increase
of pay and a decrease Of time They
ask a 60 per cent increase in pay and
a 6 hour day with a day week II
is not yet apparant how the granting
of that would alter the conditions
which they claim is forcing them to
make this demand. They claim it is
because the mines are idle so much OF
the time. The daily wage is no meas
ure of their earnings for if a man is
idle three days out of four and gets
but four dollars for the day he works
his average is but a dollar a day In
reply to this the operators sey that if
they try to run the mines full time the
miners make a practice of laying off
two or three days each week
The u. S. Department of Labor. has
issued the following report on that
phase of the trouble
This report shows for the period of
time during which the investigation
covered that the mines were in opera
tion Ar per cent of the time in Utah
to 1923 in Alabama and that In the17
states investigated the time the mines
were in operation more than rs per
cent of full time. The report shows
that the miners worked from 62.S per
cent of the hours the mines were open
in Kentucky to 124.7 per cent in Utah
most of the percentages being from
20 to 80. Usually the more nearly the
mines are open full time the fewer
are the hours the men work Thus,
in Alabama where the mines were in
operation 1923 per cent, or more. than
full time, the miners worked only 67.7
per cent of that time while in Utah
where the mines were operated but
Ar per cent of the time the men
worked 124.7, making overtime. In
general, over the II states the men
worked only so per cent of the time
they could have worked. making them
responsible for loss of 20 per cent of I
their time
1t has been claimed that the miners !
get only $50 days work in a year. If 1
300 days is taken as the number of ,
working days in n year it appears
from this report that the men have an
opportunity 10 work 225 days but of |
their own volition actually work only
about rs to so per cent OF that time.
Deducting this time they lose of their
OWN accord and for which they are
brings them down to 169
days work in a year. OF the lost time
rs days are chargeable to idle mines
iue to lack of orders and freight con-
sestion. The other Sc days are from
heir own choice
