reads as follows:

Men and women who toll, either
physica ly or mentally, use up energy.
When Il ey overwork they use up more
energy, and sometimes the blood gets

the blood cannot get back to normal,
so that it becomes clogged with waste
matter from over -exertion.
The clogged blood virtually withers
the body. Tine strained looks on pale

CAUSE FOR STRIKE
President Lee Makes Statement in Be-
half of Engineers.

Causes for the strike of railway
workers set to begin in general at 6
a. m. October 80 are enumerated by
| ". G.. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, in a
statement to The Associated Press
Saturday. The statement was issued,
Mr.. Lee explained because "the public
rs rather confused" as to it's causes,
some believing it is for higher wages.
Three causes were ascribed by Mr..
Lee:
1.-The wage reduction of July l.
PROPOSED further reductions. p
'33-Proposed elimination of rules
which would mean still further re-
auctions.

because there is no need for them,
while thousands of others have 10 try
to 1.-Two only few days month,
which is all the railway service re-
quires from them. Let it he under
stood that no transportation wages
are paid unless the time is made. 1t
is true that the railway companies
show wages earned in much higher
amounts than those quoted. but tney
do not tell that the higher monthly
amounts represent full time and over
time. 1t is fair to assume that every
one who is forced to work extra time
expects 10 be paid for it.
1.-The railroad companies have not
been fair in their propaganda against
the employees and it is to be hoped
that before the trouble is over that

THE Conquering Power

Rex Ingram's newest production for
Metro, "The Conquering Power" from
9alzac's story. "Eugenie Grandet." is
to follow 1.-The Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" in the various cities
where the latter is SHOWN.
The decision to have the little
masterpiece" as the critics designat-
ed 1.-The Conquering Power" trail Mr..
Ingram's colossal depletion of the
novel of Vicente Elasco lbanez was
Influenced by the reception it received
from those who had become familiar
with the youthful directors work in
THE Four HOrsemen."
1t was considered by the Metro of
ficials that the exhibitors should be
given the benefit of the prestige of
'The Four HorSemen" before show
ing '"1he Conquering Power. The
fact that many of the characters ap-
won fame through their portrayals in
THE Four Horsemen" was also a
factor.
In the Balzac story Alice Terry is
the heroine. as she was in the Iba-
nez picturization, and Rudolph VAL
entine has the leading male role in
both productions. June Mathis, who
made the adaptation of THE Four
Horsemen." also wrote the continuity
for 1.-The Conquering Power" 1t was
photographed by John F.. SeitZ, who

Films and Taxes.

A MERICAN legislators do not ap-
"a pear to be alone in their effort
to make the movies pay and pay
and pay.
A new law has Just been proposed
with a view of the protecting the ma
tional film industry in France.
At present. according to the Paris
correspondent of the Bankers Trust
Company of New York, SIS per cent
of the films shown in France are OF
foreign origin. The actual taxation
on cinematographs ranges from 10
per cent to 25 per cent of the month
according to the origin of the films.
The present proposal provides for
a fixed tax of per cent on the gross
receipts, plus a surtax OF per cent,
calculated proportionately on the
length of foreign film shown. Ex-
ception is made of current events and
advertisements. This surtax will be
raised to S per cent in cases where
the proportion of French films does
not attain 20 per cent of the total
length shown.
establishments whose monthly re-
ceipts do not exceed 10000 francs
will only have to pay per cent
fixed tax and 2 per cent surtax II
length shown. This surtax to be
raised to per cent il less than 10
per cent is of French origin. Es-
tablishments showing French films
exclusively will be subjected to the
fixed tax of per cent or 4 per cent
only in cases where the receipts do
not exceed 10000 francs a month.
Educational films will be exempt
from all taxation.

Symphony Orchestra
for Washington

Harry L. Katz, manager Of the Wash
ington concert bureau, has conceived
the idea of a community orchestra for
Washington. Mr.. Katz believes that
there are great possibilities for such an
orchestra. and that both the public and
Individual musicians would profit by It..
There are said to be at present many
musicians of no mean ability in the city
who have never had the opportunity to
play permanently with an orchestra
where they can be given a chance to
practice and develop their talent, also
many who have more than fair un-
derstanding of the violin, cello and
other instruments who likewise do not
have an opportunity to practice or
the proper environment to better their
playing.
An orchestra of such players, it is
claimed, would provide all such musi-
clans with opportunities for the display
of their talent and at the same time rem
der a public service.
The tentative plan Is to hold meet
ings in one Of the large halls in the
city, and after a preliminary test to Sc
lect those musicians who best prove
their ability and thus secure the
nucleus for a large organization for
regular practice once a week.
Any musician, professional or anna
teur, who is interested, Is invited to send
his name to Mr.. Katz at the Kingman,
apartment 5, this city, and he will be
notified when the next meeting Is to
take place.

Glycerin Teardrop.

4 cTREssES may come and stars
"A may go, but the little glycerin
teardrop rolls on forever before the
relentless movie camera.
For a time this substitute for the
lachrymal tear was in danger OF be-
ing superseded In supremacy by
briny drops from the limpid eyes of
beautiful actresses, but. according to
statisticians, the glycerin tear is
here to stay.
The property man who carries the
glycerin bottle and eyedropper at
the studio is an ardent supporter OF
the artificial tear, and he says that.
no matter how proficient an actress
gets in crying. there are times when
nothing will do SO well as a little
drop Of glycerin.
1.-The glycerin tear has had its ups
and downs in the movie industry
just like everything else" says the
ubiquitous prop man. When the
business was young no one thought
of anything but artificial tears, but
later, when a few stars were dis
covered who could cry real, salty
tears. with the aid of soft violin
music, these tears became the vogue
and the glycerin bottle was put on
the shelf. Now the glycerin tear
drop Is coming back. It has been
found that in many instances an
artificial tear Is much more artistic
than a real one."

woman who is willing to give it sim
cere work.
LAS in any other profession. there
is no royal road to success. So the
only secret for reaching the top of
the ladder is work.
the scenario end OF the business will
prove most attractive. At Universal
City alone there are five highly paid
woman scenario writer's.
For the artistic woman there is the
wardrobe department, where new
screen gowns are created. If her
thought is along architectural lines
there is sometimes an opportunity in
the technical departments Of studio.
Should her creative talents best ex-
press themselves through the medium
of the paint brush there are frequent
openings in the studios art depart
ment.
"The directoral field offers the
greatest opportunities Of any. Lois
Weber. Ida May Park, Ruth Ann
Baldwin and Elsie Jane Wilson are
four successful woman directors who
worked their way up to dictatorship.
and their names are always associ-
ated with the best in motion picture
art.
IT predict that in the next decade
women will be as famous in the role
of directors as they now are in the
capacity of stars. AS matter of fact,
firmly believe they are even better
suited to that position by tempera-
ment and capability than most men.
"Of the dramatic very little need
be said. Success has come to mature
women and young girls who have
