To Become al Actress

To the Editor Of Womon's Page:
Dear Madam - Having culled from
your column much useful information,
am asking you to let me know how
girls can become moving picture ac-
treSscs. Ihi
Unless girls have special "pull. the
only way they can become motion
picture actresses is by going to the
studios and accepting small bits as
"extras." II they have any ability,
they are usually seen aud picked out
for better parts. Sometimes there are
contests run by motion picture. pro-
ducers or magazines by which girls may
break into this kind Of work. Keep
in touch with all the activities OF the
movie world and watch your chances
all the time. You never can tell when
something of the kind will turn up.
Thank You, "Devilish"!
There's nothing like a little pat on
the back once in a while. Here's one in
the form of a poem:
Now. listen here,
You're dear:
You're like mothers,
You help others.

Extensive decreases in wages are
shown in figures compiled by the fed
eral bureau of labor statistics show
ing the volume Of employment in the
leading industries of the country dur
ing September. compared with August
this year and September last year.
While there was in most instances a
decrease in the number of persons en-
ployed. there was a larger decrease in
the payrolls. In the face of these
facts there has been no apparent lack
OF production. Conditions such as
these should tend to accelerate the
fall of prices all along the line.

keeping America for Americans. These
various forces will fight it out again
as they have before. In the house,
labor and the west have enough in
ruence to frame legislation somewhat
restrictive, but in the senate big BUSH
ness holds the club, and the house bill
is very likely to be 'liberalized.''
At present the major problem Of
immigration is largely obscured by the
anarchist scare. The principal bills
now before the committee are taken
up largely with oaths and declarations,
designed to make the intending imni-
grant swear by the Bible and the bones
of his ancestors that he does not in
tend to put a bomb under the attor-
ney general, or to organize a revolu-
ton. The fact that q man imbued
with any such sinister purpose would
probably not hesitate to perjure him
self seems not to have occurred to the
honorable committeeman. The an
archist is only enc in hundred thou
sand, and the well known needle in
the haystaek is not more elusive than
he. But the congressman at present
are engaged almost exclusively in a
frenzied hunt for that needle, while
the great and important task of as
sorting the human imports, and choos-
ing from them the best racial and cul-
tural elements, is almost wholly neg
lected.

THE SPRINGS OF OUR NATURE.

!, There are few natural workings
more inspiring than a spring.
Out from the heart of the mountain
maybe after having travelled hun
dreds of miles-do the cold drippings
of the spring wend their way. And
how many travellers thirst does each
spring quechi
After hours of labor, how the
farmer loves to hunt out his much
loved spring.
Like a spring are the finer impulses
Of our nature. Like the cold waters
from the bowels of the mountain, do
they await tired and discouraged pass
ersby. And the man or woman who
exposes these impulses to whomsoever
may need, is the real giver and bene-
factor in this matter of-fact every
day world of ours.
Also 1t is to these springs of our
better selves that we ourselves may
so when heavy burdens weigh upon
us and the touch of loneliness chills us
in the midst of our fight.
I think of these inner springs of
ours as the divine spots of our make
up-plaeed there long ago by the
watching God.
The springs of nature are free Any
one may step UP to them and partake
to his fill So should it be with the
springs which rise from the best that
we are. All should find in them
something to cheer and inspire.
Let us think in cleanliness Of mind
Let US invite the chance to give and to
help.

THE ELECTION.

The people wanted a change and the
result of yesterdays election shows
that they knew how to get it. What
otherwise would have been substantial
majorities for the Republican ticket
were augmented by the woman vote.
Seldom If ever has there been a
presidential election in which SO little
enthusiasm was manifested on both
sides. Apparently the people long
ago decided how they would vote and
only waited the opportunity to put
their decision into effect. 1t is doubt
full that all the campaigning that was
done changed many votes.
No president since Lincoln has en-
tered upon the administration of his
office confronted by so many serious
and difficult problems as will face Mr..
Harding on March 4 next. If he sue
coed in meeting the demands and ex-
pectations of the people he will ac-
complish something approaching the
miraculous.
Having made their choice the pee-
pie should exercise patience and ex-
tend all the aid possible to the new
president in his efforts to perform the
task set for him.
Governor Cox, the candidate of the
Democrat party, made a brave and
tireless fight, practically alone and
unaided. His party managers were
handicapped by a lack of money and
the rank and file showed no DISPOSE
ton to supply the lack. The votes he
received probably came almost who'll
ly from those whose loyalty to their
party would cause them to vote the
ticket under any and all circum-
stances. 1t cannot be denied that
there was much dissatisfaction with
the Wilson administration among the
Democrats themselves.
Tammany Hall, which forced the
nomination of Governor Cox at San
Francisco, threw him over. The la

saged an approaching storm. In de-

Receipts of nearly 400 cars of wheat
at Kansas City Monday seems to indl-
cate that the farmers are not holding
their wheat to any considerable extent.
1t might be as well for them to hold
1t until the Canadians have finished
marketing their crop in this country.
But loan from the government to en-
able the wheat grower or the cotton
raiser to hold his crop for higher
prices might establish a dangerous
precedent. What would the public
sa yif the next body of workers to
go on strike should appeal to the gov
eminent to lend them money to live
on until they could force the payment
of hiEher wage? The country has
been getting away from paternalism.
Do we want to go back over the same
read?

Year after year the farmer has seen
the buying power bear down prices
just when the food producer is upon
the thre shoid of the market. And as
often as he saw those same buyers
boost prices immediately after getting
their hands upon the food, wheat,
meat, egctab1es-whatever the farm
or has sold. This is no longer true
among the producers of fruit, raisins,
almonds, wa1nuts and olives in Cali
fornia. These producers make their
own prices and the dealers pay them.
Growers of wheat, corn and cotton
should do as the Californians do. All
that is needed is organization. The
public must have these staples and
will pay the price. Food producers
are entitled to a fair profit on their
business and it is UP to them to get it.
There j. no reason why it should go
to 1ealors and spectators. The farm

larger returns without added expense

Food prices are on the advance
again, according to Bradstreet's re-
port which shows a gain of one point
last week over those of the previous
week. The same period showed a con-
tinuing decline in the price of live
animals and only a slight advance in
grain prices. Prices of commodities
other than food cannot continue to
fall without a corresponding cheapen-

JOBS GROWING sCARCER.

There has been a decrease of 10o.-
600 workers in factories in New York
since last March. according to the
state industrial commission. Unem-
ployment is a development of the first
stage of price reduction. Price reduc-
ton curtails profits and makes mer-
chants and manufacturers cautious.
Industries are slowed down and labor
forces cut accordingly
Reduction in prices is a notice to the
consumer that they may go still lower,
and he begins to hold back on buying.
He cuts out the Injuries first, and if
price reduction continue, as it has in
the last three months, he holds back
on necessities, not buying any more
than actually needed at the time. 1t
is pointed out by the Bache Review
that: Many retailers turnout the
country are making the mistake of
holding up prices on the ground that
the cost to them justifies it, notwith-
standing that the same goods can be
bought of manufacturers at much
lower figures. The result il that
stocks do not go off freely, ana event
ually the retailer will find himself
loaded with goods which he will have
to sell much cheaper, because compe-
tition will set in thru dealers not load
ed up, buying of the manufacturers at
great reductions. 1t would be much
better for the retailer to make moder-
ate reductions and get rid Of his goods
We look for continuation in the de-
cline of prices to much lower figures
all around"
