 Seven times the clerk snapped out 6 name; seven old men hurried off, hap py in the knowledge that tomorrow would bring them $5. Then the clerk was through; disappointment, incredul- ity registered on the faces of those re- jected others as they saw hiR with draw; then backs bumped again; they settled down to wait another call.
 To me, who had been standing beside the clerk, there hurried a tall, angular old man in a neat gray suit and a celluloid collar
 Lady" he quiried, are you a re- porter7"
 I admitted it, and the old gentleman said he wanted to tell me the troubles of old men in the pictures; maybe they might be helped if a piece were printed in the paper.
 The Old Mems Complaint His name, let's call, L. P. Creighton, his nose was bottle e-shaped, with many purple veins, and he wore steel-rimmed | glasses, which sat very crookedly on 1 that nose He had dropping yellow gray mustaches. His age, he told me with a sly look in his eyes, was 5S- which obviously 1t was not.
 You see, it's this way lady," he said with dignity: Things is not as good with us as they had been in the past. These-here tourists comes out here, and they takes our jobs away from us because that they had good clothes, and can afford to dress well. and most of us, we can't nor never could. And II used to be sos we could go and stand around at the studios, and wait for our l nd nf HIS would tell thee others of us what he lznowed about some other studio want ing men and we'd go there; we was al ways fair to each other, and helped wherever we could.
 Nowadays they don't let us wal around the studios no more. We go
 to come and register, and there is al ways some swell with good clothes
 ahead of us, and even when We d'
 get a job, we have to give ' per cen

day he sat down and p1eced together a story of some of his adventures, and sent 1t to picture concern. Of course he wasn't an educated man and couldn't, as you might say, write any thing extra, but they sent for him and gave him $40 for the film. He tried to sell them a lot of others after that but never had any luck. One day, though, they asked him if he wanted a job as picture policeman and gave him $e for one days work
 That was before the war. It started him going around to the studios, and he made pretty good money and got together a pretty fair lot of clothes; if you'd believe it, he said he had wardrobe that was worth $50 But then then the war came and he got a good job in the shipyard and sold all of his picture wardrobe to the other fellows. He thought he was through with tha, life. But the shipyard job ended with the war, and he was sick again and here he was! And there were hundreds like him.
 Family7 Oh, yes, he had a daughter, but she was a dressmaker-nicef friends, and all that-but he didn't want to pull her down. He saw her only about once in two weeks; she lived in good house, and he had a little room down here near the agency. He called her up every week, however, and she al- ways said, How're you getttn' along, par" and he said Fines silk" She thought he still had the shipyard job I've lived my life, and I want her to live hers" he said. She shouldn't have a old pa to fuss about. 'Twould make her unhapy if she was to know was making only 10 or so dollars a week But I always manage to have a clean shirt on me when she sees me even if I have to fash 1t myself; and Lord!-she don't know. nor never will Others Lncs Him

MAKE PUBLIC REPORT
 ON COTTON TARIFFS

Because of the interest attaching to the proceedings of the Southern tariff congress, which oonvenes ths first of the week et Atlanta, Ga, and to which Dwight B. Heard of The Re publican has gone as the representa- tive of the long staple cotton industry of the Salt River valley, the chamber of commerce yesterday made public the report of the committee on cotton tariffs as referred to MT. Heard The report, which is a joint report prepared by the heads of several of the various cotton industries of the valley, follows in full:
 ''Your committee believes that it will be of great advantage to the cotton industry of Arizona if you can attend the Southern tariff congress and in terest the congress in the introduction of tariff on long staple cotton Tt is important to secure tariff that will insure a continuance of the long staple industry in the United Statez. We suggest a resolution COW ering the following facts- Resolved, that permanently to main tain the production of long staple cot tons as an essential American agricui- tural industry we recommend to con- gress that an import duty be imposed upon all staple cottons of a length of one and seven-sixteenth inches, or greater.
 ''For your personal guidance we suggest the following be considered in establishing the rate of import duty
 Equalization in cost of production with Egypt and other foreign coun- tries, plus a reasonable ad valorem duty also including the difference in exchange.
 'H we can secure a tariff of only 10 cents a pound on next years crop of about 10000 bales it will mean an added $2,000,000 to the Salt River lva1ley."
 The report is signed by W. H. Knox, Wv. s. Stevens, J. c. Norton, B. W. Hudson and Harry Welch, secretary of tho chamber of commerce

sswoMAN IN HIS HOUSE"
AT REX THEATER SUNDAY

The secret is out!-the secret
which for six months had been jeal-
ously guarded by Louis B. Mayer in
connection with the First National
picture which was directed by John
M. Stohl and which, until very re-
Gently, had no name.
Everybody now knows that the
name selected for this big picture,
which will be shown at the Rex the
ater, beginning Sunday, is "The Wo-
nl,D.l IN AIS house." But everyone
does not know how this particular
title happened to be chosen.
On her arrival In New York from
the coast Mildred Harris. former wife
of the famous Charlie" Chaplin, in
advertently let the cat out OF the
bag. In speaking Of her domestic af-
fairs, she happened to let fall the
statement that she had proven with
Charlie simply "the woman in his
house."
: AS this happens to be the title Of
her picture. she was asked whether
or not she was responsible for its
section. She finally admitted that
the title was her own and given to
the picture by her because OF the
similarity between the leading char
acter of the picture and her own, pri-
vate life.
