THIS contest. on the contrary, solves
i all these problems for you If YOU
are lucky enough to be ono of the three
winners.
In the first place. there is no ncrcs-

Broad street. and the station is right

get one on the Reading at Port Kennedy
lust across the Schuylkill River from
Betzwood-with bridge in between.
Thus you can live at home ana COM

In the second place. the three win
ners will have none of that hopeless
extra girl stage to 90 through. IheE
ot once get minor parts. with the added
guaraptec that they will have particular
attention paid to them. and any little
faults they NAV show will be corrected

THE plan, ms thus worked out. offers
l. to girls in this vicinity a most re-
markable opportunity.
Ordinarily, there is only one way TO
get into the movie game. That is to
haunt the studios until you manage
to pick up an odd job or two ns an
extra. This means. perhaps. one or
two days work in n week at small
pay. with several weeks intervening be-
fore you are again lucky enough to find
Il place.
Meanwhile. your landlady lets you
know in no uncertain tones that she i
not interested in your troubles and
wants your rent regularly in spite of
the irregularity of your pay day. And
you II find Yourself craving the ordinary
three meals n day whether YOU nave
the price or not.
Added to this you will be far away
from home-Ncw York or California;
and loneliness gets mighty lonesome
when it's low tide in the pockctbook:
If you are able To stand this long
enough you may eventually work your
way into minor part. and only then
Fif at all. will YOU have chance TO
attract the attention Of a casting d,-
rector and get n chance at something
bigger.

A 5 WE stated yesterday. they have
4 \ already engaged the cast for the
first picture III the new ''Tooncrvlllc
Trolley series. Betty Roveo, who was
the ingcnue in the series last year, will
again fill her role in the first two OF
the new series.
While the first is being made the
fifteen girls chosen from the entrants
in this contest will be taken out to
fleetwood to have test strips of movie
film made of them in action. They
will all thus have nn opportunity 10
see several companies at work i'll the
studios and around the lot.
From these fifteen strips three will
hc chosen and these three girls will be
given minor parts probably in the sec
ond comedy of the series. so that they
may profit by the experience which
Miss Bovee and the others shave had
and come more or less under their per-
sonal guidance in preparation for more
ambitious work.
That's the program at present and.
as can easily be seen. the ending of
the contest will depend entirely on
when Ira NJ. Lowry, director general.
is ready TO put up his call sheets for
his first company.

MUST USE FOUR LANGUAGES
Advertisers In Turkey Necessarily
Under a Handicap That Amounts
to a Good Deal.

In order to advertise In CONSTANT
guages. The market is hard to cult
vate, but newspapers give good results
there. The population Of CONSTANT
nople is very cosmopolitan, and all the
foreigners speak their own language
and read their own newspapers, writes
Trade Commissioner Eliot G. Mears
To reach the public in general, adver-
tisements should be published in news
papers Of at least four languages.
However, the best results are OBJ
tanned by publication In Turkish news
papers, for, on the one hand, the Turk
ish population Is most numerous, and
on the other the Turkish reader Is more
! susceptible to the claims of advertise
ments than are Europeans and Ar
menlans. 1t has been found by expe-
rience that advertising in newspapers
gives very good results in CONSTANT
nople, especially If it Is pushed Wig
orously.
No advertising is carried on tram
cars. Street advertising IS not pro
tected by law and cannot be recon-
mended to foreign concerns. The cir
ulation Of newspapers is not great.
French newspapers have an approx
mate issue of 5000 to 5000, Greek A.
600 to 1900, Armenian 1000 to 5000
and Turkish 10000 to 10000.

MONOPOLY LOST BY GERMANY
American Chemists Are Now Produc-
Ing the Rare Sugars Required
for Scientific Purposes.

Not least among the triumphs Of
the new American chemical industry
has been the production of the rare
sugars, so long a German monopoly.
The sugars were called for by the
small hospitals, as they are required
IN small amount in meteorological
laboratories-one of them, for in
stance, being the most sensitive stfT
ulent Of typhoid growth, while 9th
ers serve in the detection of cholera
germ. The infinite care necessary to
prepare them in a state of absolute
purity makes their cost seemingly
enormous. The most expensive rare
sugar catalogued is stated by Drug
and Chemical Markets to be dulcitol,
at 1915 q pound. while mannose is
worth $40 q pound. This IS deli
cate and delicious sweet derived from
mama. which is secreted in thin scales
from certain trees and shrubs, and
with which the children of Israel were
miraculously fed during their wander
ings in the wilderness. Xylose, quoted
at S120 pound, Is made from the corn
cob: inulin Is obtained from the bulb
OF the dahlia at certain seasons of the
year. Other rare sugars are-aribi-
nose, at 500 at pound; Ievulose $50
pound, and raffinose, $75 pound.
