Summer Vacation Peps
Up Railroad Ticket Office

The summer vacatloner and his
season of activity has arrived. Busi-
ness is picking up in the console
dated ticket office in the Union Pa
cifc building. For the last two
weeks the clerks have been busy
handing out tickets to all points
cf the compass. Colorado and
California, with their vast ma
tional parks and summer resorts,'
seem to be the most popular, though
the lake regions of Minnesota and
Wisconsin are net being neglected.
In spite of the hard times" which
most people have been complaining
of the last few months, the prospee-
tive vactioners seem to have gath
cred together enough money for the
annual pilgrimage back to nature.
The summer tourists rates, which
have been in effect since June l.,
while higher than last year, do not
appear to put any great damper on
the enthusiasm of the vacationers.

none too sure I could induce
Miss Pickford to grant me the amount

What is more to the point, I knew
that in the case of Miss Pickford
there must be scores of demands upon
her time every day that she could not

acquainting her with my mission in

Envious not of royal princesscs o
Of those who sit In the seats of the
mighty, but of the girls who work in
stores and shops-with their eight or
ten hours OF work, and then freedom
to do as they please.
In the times between pictures-for
every girl who is successful on the
screen-there is hardly less work to
be done than when she is working on
a picture. 1t seems to be forever
necessary, for instance, to have new
portraits made. And don't imagine
for a moment that because one is a
motion picture actress it makes pos
ing at a photographers less an
ordeal. Really. for me at any rate.
1t is the task 1 dread most. And more

work in stores and shops. with her
mere eight hours of work.
And SO here is my advice to the
girl who would become a motion pic
ture actress:
Don't-unless you arc willing 10
work harder than you would ever oe
called upon to work in any other line
of ~endeavor.
Do-if the prospect of hard work
doesnt frighten you: because in
ever other way motion pictures offer
feal rewards or Worthwhile value to
any girl who can win them.
