a movie actress.

Helen Ray, 18, had little ambition
to be a movie actress when she went
TO the Paramount studio six months
ago. She wanted a job as .stenOg
rapher or clerk or anything else that
would earn her livelihood.
She became Il continuity clerk, q
girl who accompanies the director
during the filming Of a picture to
make notes on the production for
later reference.
Then opportunity knocked. The
knock was unexpected. 1t was a sub,
tie sort of thing. Helen didn't
know she was answering opportunity
when she went out of her way to do
a little favor.
That is the way with. old Oppor-
tunity. He often makes US go out

banks fifth vehicle for the United
Artists: 1t is a story designed from
an entirely new pattern. Incorpor.
ated in the synopsis are ideas and
features of plot evolution that it is
believed may result in establishing
new screen technique. Few picture
have been issued that have called for
more concentration of effort from
the star, or for more thoroughness
Of development on the part of the
author.
The fact that "The Nut is an or
iginal story seems to indicate that
the most progressive producers are
endeaVoring to secure material writ
ten especially forsthe lens instead of
adhering to the established policy of
filming famous books and plays.
The claim has been set forth by
many cinema critics that only by
producing stories written especially
for the camera can the highest point
Of success be obtained for the pho
toplay. For that reason the manner
in which the public receives the new
Fairbanks offering will be watched
closely, and if this picture is accord
ed the same measure of popularity
that has been the lot of his previous
productions, it NAV establish a new
precedent upon which to base this
stars future plans.
"The Nut" is from the pen of
Kenneth Davenport and the scenario
was written by William Parker and
Lolita Woods. Briefly, the story
deals with the love adventures of an
eccentric young fellow whose hobby
is invention. In fact, he invents
his way to the heroine's heart. The
locale of the story is the famous Be-
hemian quarter of New York
Greenwich Village. The outstanding
feature of this unique screen tale is
the manner IN which a number OF
> amazing novelty contrivances have
been utilized to provoke laughable
situations.
1t is believed that for originality
this picture will be recognized as one
of the years outstanding successes

Mrs. Wright attended the meetings of

bE AONSlANAE lhEA
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Is America
becoming a second China in the amount
Of opium used!
The startling disclosures Of DR.. Royal
S. Copeland, health commissioner of New
York, have only served to accentuate that
the opium question is closely linked
with the Far Eastern problems Of the
Washington conference.
The innocent poppy which has enslaved
millions Of Asiatics in its deadly fumes
is of international Importance. thor
Ough investigation of the traffic from
country to country in habit-forming drugs
will be undertaken by Congress, aghast at
the possibility that not only China and
Asiatic countries may succumb, but the
virility Of America itself may be at
tackled.
OPIUM PROBLEM
HAS TWO ANGLES.
The opium question nas two phases
more closely related. One phase deals
with China China, almost cleared of
the opium traffic a few years ago be-
cause of Americas brave leadership in
The Hague opium convention, is now in
the throes again. That is one reason
why the arms conference has given China
the authority to search for morphia COM
ing through foreign pOstoffices estab-
lished in China. China can not stand on
her own feet unless other nations help
her get rid Of opium.
The other phase deals with our coun-
try. According to DR.. Copeland's re-
port, the United States is importing
quantities of opium almost equal to that
consumed in China fifteen years ago
when things got SC bad various nations,
led by America came to her aid in sup
pressing the opium traffic. OF course,
this does not mean all the opium in
this country is consumed In smoking
A large quantity goes into morphine.
headache tablets and all sorts of drugs
to which Americans are resorting.
EXPERT ASKED
FOR OPINION.
Because both the Washington confer
ence and Congress are now facing these
startling facts, 1 went to Mrs Hamilton
Wright, who is an international author
ity, being a member of the League of
Nations opium commission, appointed
thereto by the council of the league.
Mrs. Wright was appointed as one of
the experts in addition to the representa-
tives Of nine countries comprising the
commission, because of her knowledge of
the subject, mostly CLEANED from a close
association in the work of her husband.

A REPORT OF PROGRESS.

Leaving an partisanship out of the record, it may be said that the Harding administration has good grounds for the note of pride in the recent report of progress on the steps taken to promote business and prosperity in America. Not that all has been done, but enough to make a fairly good showing when the muddle that existed in March is taken Iato consideration.
 There has been progress. For one thing, there has been a good deal done towards agricultural credits, which the farmers need more than anything else Reduction of discounts has been carried out and the rail situation is in a fair way of being cleared up. Certain gov. srnmental ''business' ventures have been headed of, and there has been defer ment on the bonus bill that would have scooped anywhere from s1,500, oOo to $5,- 100000 out of the treasury. The tariff revision and taxation revision have been started not moving as fast Rs we would like perhaps, but at least q star, has been made and both are on the way In five months 1t can be said that much has happened, although some will say doubtless that we had right to expect more. But it Is something to have made a start
 In one way or another, the White House has had hand in most of what has been done, and a fairly active hand It may have been with reluctance thai President Harding has followed the pre- eedent of his immediate predecessor 1T The presidential chair in asking urging and pressing for action, but at time, there seemed no other way. Mutter. lngs about "autocracy' were to be ex pected and may be expected to be heart again.
 But, like the administration, the pub lie will feel that what has been don, justihes an optimistic outlook.

CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING JULY soth, 1921 11.25O
VACATIONS AND RAILROADS.

Summer has always been the golden time for revenue on the railroads through passenger traffic which has all ways been expected to reach its high est poi1t under the stimulus of the va cation period. But the automobile now shares with the railroads and steamboat lines the responsibility of transporting people to vacation resorts and to their summer hcmes, while further threads on railroad passenger receipts are made by fairly long itineraries by machine which once could only be accomplished by rail
 In addition to this at the present time railroad travel so far this summer Is said to have reflected the general busi- ness depression. July has not been the harvest month that it once was, but t is hoped that the summer travel movement may reach such a volume as to compensate in part at least for what the roads were short in July
 Without the increase in passenger rates it Is certain that railroad rcve- hue would have been less this July than It was last year. and even with the in- creased rates there is still good pros- pect that July revenue may not equal last year. There has been a large amount of long distance travel which in- rluded the transportation of thousands of boys and girls to summer camps and The movement of many adults attending summer schools, conferences and esnven- tions, but even this may not make up for lessened general average of July business At one important station in Massachusetts it is reported that the passenger receipts of one railroad for the first three weeks of the month were about s1s,oO0 less than a year ago.
 Crowded trains, however, began to be seen with the arrival of the last Satur- day in July and as August is the biz vacation month the railroad men are hopeful that this Is an indication of . good period for them.

SOME srErKE COSTS.

The costs of strikes is generally esti- mated as the loss of wages suffered by striking employees and profits lost by the employer against whom the strike is d. rected. It is now shown in the report of Abraham I. Shiplacoff, recognized in New York as the leader of the several unions of clothing workers, that other losses enter In a speech made in con- fidence to union leaders fin New York, and which was taken in fun by a steno- grapher in the employ of the district at torney, the union leader said that the clothing workers defense fund of $2,- o0o, 900 was spent and that they owed szo0. 900 to unions in other cities, prin- cipally Chicago.
 Details of the expenditure show that while much of the money went for re- lief, the cost of defending pickets ac- eused of assaultfng strikebreakers and of overzealous strikers who were accused of destroying the stocks Of their former employers and of blowing up one plant, was a heavy burden. The minor union officials were reported as extremely dis satisfied with the manner in which their strike fund was disbursed, and on the point of refusing to raise another strike fund of s3,600.0e for use in 1922. In this ease, the strikers were oppos-
 ing a wage cut based upon economic conditions over which neither they nor their employers could expect to exercise any appreciab1e degree of control.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hopes For Fashion Changes,

MT. Editor: If there is one thing that come to pass it is that the women both old and young, will before many months have passed cease appearing on the streets and elsewhere in dresses much too short for them. If the women think by wearing low neck waists, skirts that are too short and thickly powdered and painted faces, to gain the admiration of the opposite sex, in this they are great ly mistaken. It has from the beginning of the fad or fashion been a mystery to me how any woman who pretends to be a gentiewoman can feel comfortable attired in such a manner. The nose gets the most powder and one of the cheeks the most paint that gives them more of the appearance of clown than good clean face wholesome woman or girls as they are usually called these days. It is seldom that we see a woman, young or old, who Is dressed modestly ana beeomingly with the dress slightly above the instep-dommon sense heels-ani waist that leaves the throat only uncovered.
 While the style is no business of mine, but as this country Is considered l to be a free one have the same privi. 1 lege to express my opinions and views as others have on this and other sub jects, especially that now the war is ended.
 Respectfully,
 MRS. F. S. ".
