SEEK CURTAILMENT
OF DEADLY WEAPONS
IN WEST VIRGINIA
(By Associated Press)


CHARLESTON. w. Va, Feb. 10.-A
determined effort is being made at the
present session of the legislature to
curtail as far as possible the distribu-
ton of deadly weapons in West Vir-
ginia.
George w. McClintic, of kanawla
county has introduced a bill in the
house of delegates, making it unlaw-
full for any person to offer for sale or
to sell any dirk, bowie knife, sling
shot, metallic or other false knuckles
or any other dangerous weapon The
bill also provides that no fire arms
are to be sold to any person of foreign
birth who has not been naturalized,
and fixes a penalty at from $40 to 500
fine for each offense.
West Virginia already has what it
terms a pistol toting law" which al
lows the carrying of firearms under
permit by the county authorities. The
McClintic bill would make it unlawful
for any person to carry any deadly
weapon about his person" and unlaw
full TO carry fire arms without state
license" Friends OF the bill declare
that its principal merit lies in the
safeguard surrounding the issuance OF
state pistol toting licenses.

A GIRLS STORY OF THE MOVIES

Queer, and for my director, and the
cast and the extras, and for the
electricians and the decorators and
the carpenters; yes, Ven to the prop
boy who fetches and carries, 1 am
pledged to make this film the best l
have ever done"
And then one must have a little
private and personal pride in doing
ones best whether anybody else
knows it OF not.
Success in shadowland, as else
where, means self-sacrifce. An I'M
fortunate few have tried to achieve
success by hat sort of self-sacrifce
which spells ruination.
The world values one as one val
ues herself. The movie audience
likes to see virtue triumph in the
end; and the virtuous actor or ac-
tress will triumph in his own career
for that fundamental reason.
Besides the morales already dis
cussed there is the social morale,
which comes so close to morals. OF
the relation of movie stars to $50

What will assure success in film
land?"
Whoever has attained stardom ex-
poets to receive this question in
every mail.
There is but one answer to it, a
brief one, often an unwelcome one,
because many immature but ardent
fans see a film heroine only as an
exquisite creature fitting daintily
through thrilling love scenes in
charming environments!
And it all looks so extremely easyi
A little grooming, a few fine clothes
and an opportunity! Only that
and nothing more!
That it took work of the hardest
kind, the work of scores of capable,
energetic men and women to pro-
duce the effect of easy smoothness,
is often outside the comprehension
of the uninitiated.
/ often have insisted that after
health, without which hard work is
absolutely impossible, the supreme
morale of the movies is the courage,
inclination and ability to work hard.
But | have never observed that
work which is regarded as nothing
but drudgery brings the pest results.
Beauty is the soul of art. they say,
and to produce any beauty, JOY in
the work must animate the soul of
the artist.
In screen art, the actress who
succeeds for herself succeeds also
for those who work with her.

BEAUTY HINTS

There now! It's a perfectly beauti-
full, black dress and you know he'll
like it because it's of those plain
things with wonderful lines.
But what's the trouble with your
face! It's usually such a nice,
happy looking face and somehow,
now. in all of this fashionable black
it looks drawn and, oh, so tired!
That means you'll have to put
your ingenuity to practical use!
You'll have to touch up. so you'll
look up to your dress and that clever
hat which juts off your face at a
swagger angle.
And of course you'll enjoy MAX
ing the mediums for this touching
up process!
If you like to use powder, you can
make a very nice one quite easily
by mixing four ounces of powdered
French chalk, two drains of oil of
almonds and one dram of powdered
carmine.
Be sure that you mix the whole
thing well-spend a little toe much
time rather than too little.
A rouge ordinarily used for the
atrical purposes can be prepared by
mixing fine French chalk with any
quantity OF powdered carmine nee
essary to give it the desired tint.
this isn't quite the velvety rouge
which results when oil is used as a
mixing medium.
Be sure-oh, be very sure-that
you get the right sort of tone! If
you're pink velvet and apple BIOS
som blond. don't use anything with
an Oriental cast. And if you're one
of those dark, luscious. languorous
sort of folk. don't select an apple
blossom tint.
