Iopa Girl Says
Films Offer Big
Opportunities

One Of the many successful
women in the film game halls from
Iowa, and expresses surprise that
more young women do not realize
the tremendous possibilities offered
them in the motion picture industry.
Ladyc Horton, former. Colfax (la.)
girl, says it opens the widest field
for women with pep and enthusiasm
that has ever been invaded by the
modern petticoat, and yet girls are
slow to see any but the acting angle.
at must be the congenital vanity
of women," said Ladye Horton,
that leads them to be blinded to all
the other big opportunities and see
only the possibility of parading
themselves on the screen. There
are thousands of clever business
girls who journey to Hollywood in
quest OF fame in the movies and re-
turn to their homes after being told
by half dozen directors that they
simply won't do. who could add just
one word to their ambition-make
it success in the movie game-and
stand on the top OF the ladder in
few years time.
Pictures will always appeal to
the woman OF personality and brains
because it requires more, and gives
more in return for the effort put
forth than wholesale groceries or
real estate work ever will. IT de-
mands imagination, artistic ability
and individuality more than any
other industry in the country, but
it gives to you the food to feed these
characteristics and develop them to
the nth degree, where they might be
starved in more prosaic profession.
Woman, Where Art Thou7
"The art work of the studios is a
wide field for women, because aver
age woman has more imagination, is
more given to attending the little de-
tails of life than most men. Then
why don't more OF our clever women
artists get into the game? Instead
of walking in here and telling what
they know about art, and making
people stand UP and take notice OF
them because of their knowledge OF
technique, they come parading their
raven or golden coiffures for inspec<
ton, when already there are moro
than we can look at.
Especially is youth in demand in
the film world. Every picture fan
in the country wants youth III the
movies; youth with all its smiles,
and humor, and gay carelessness.
They have designated their prefer
ence in the selection of stars with
fluffy curls and baby blue stares.
But it takes more than the star to
make youthful photoplay. All the
technical people, the author, the
scenario man-or woman-the con-
tinuity writer, the director, and ev-
erybody else down to the tiniest Of
flee boy, helps to give production
its inherent youthful charm. The
photoplay industry is compara-
lively young business, and it gives
untold advantages to the youthful
competitor.
Worked in Omaha.
Ladye Horton began her first mo-
ton picture work in the offices of A.
H.~Blank enterprises, in Des Moines,
over three years ago. She claims her
biggest exploitation ideas were fost-
cred by c. E. Holaf, former Omahan
and Mr.. Blanks manager at that
time. Since then she has done film
work in Omaha and Denver, and in
the last year has found recognition
in the Studio Colony King Vidor's
Girl Publicist.

Shiplureck Wanted
For "C0ppy Ricks"

A movie actor or director belongs
to that curious class of people who
go around looking for trouble. Most

avoid a shipwreck, but Thomas
Meighan is out looking for wreck.
He needs one in his business,
which just now is that of translating
Peter B. Kyne's "Cappy Kicks"
stories to the films. He has left New
York for the rocky coast of Maine,
where the shipwreck scene will be
staged.
Mr.. Meighan will play the part of
Mathew Peasley, one Of the genera
ton of the "Peasleys of Thomaston,
Me-, who followed the sea-" The
title part of Cappy Kicks will be done
by Charles Able, who also has an
important part in "The Conquest OF
Canaan" the picture Mr.. Meighan
has just completed. Agnes Ayres,

DEPARTMENT
YIELDS POINT.

The department then yielded that pofnt
and allowed these payments made on be-
half of the Y. NJ. c. a. to be deducted as
contributions to the Y NJ. c. A. The
next result was a letter advising the tax
payer that his original return was still
incorrect in the matter of the claim ON
account Of the damage done to his ga
rage However, last week the Treasury
Department handed down a decision,
which would seem to fit the case, as
follows:
"a taxpayer claimed a deduction in his
return for 1918, such sum representing
part Of the cost of replacing flooring and
furniture damaged by the freezing and
bursting of water piper in his residence
during his absence. The loss was not
compensated for by insurance and the
question is raised whether such loss con-
stituted a deducible loss.
''It is held that losses sustained by
other casualty within the meaning of
Section PA (a) 6 of the statute are those
which arise through the action of natura,
physical forces, and which occur suo~
denly, Unexpectedly, and without design
of the one suffering the loss. The loss
sustained through the freezing and burst
ing of the water pipes in residence dur
ing the absence of the occupant clearly
comes With nthe definition given OF losses
arising from other casualty The de-
ductible loss is the difference between the
cost Of flooring and furniture Tor the
fair market value on March 1, 1918, il
acquired prior thereto, and such value
was less than the cost, less depreciation
sustained thereon prior to the casualty
and the salvage value of the property
An appeal will. therefore, be taken to
have this taxpayers tax adjusted in ac-
cordance with this decisiOn.-Copyright,

RattleSnake Bite
Held Plague Cure

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Dec. 22.-
-pespite the fact that George Burke, ex-
sailor. is still alive and declared to be
improving in health, local physicians are
unwilling to admit that his "rattlesnake
cure" for tuberculosis is efficacious.
Three months ago Burke, tubereular
victim. allowed rattlesnake to bite him,
in a desperate kill or cure" attempt.
Physicians are wary about admitting
that the man has been benefited by the
treatment. Burke is up and around now,
apparently helped by the snake venom
that entered his veins. Physicians admit
that he has improved in health, but are
inclined to attribute it to other causes
than the snake bite, and they urge that
Burke's experiment should not influence
other sufferers from the dread disease
to go to similar extremes.
When Burke obtained his Arizona rat
tiers he notified physicians, and after the
poison fangs had sunk into his arms
he was treated for snake bite. The man
was dangerously i'll for several days from
the effects of the poisoning.
According to physicians several months
must elapse before it is determined
whether his Improvement in health is
permanent

During the first hour of today's ses-
sion, selling was, II anything, on little
larger scale than we have recently eX-
perienced, with a considerable number OF
recessions noted through the list. Resis-
tance, however, was met with and fol
lowing a rather aggressive move IN Amer
lean Locomotive, during which time new
high prices was established general
covering movement developed in the mar
ket with recent shorts covering commit
ments.
Thereafter, the market was less ac-
tive, with professional trading cOnstitu-
ting a liberal percentage of the business.
The important consideration of the mo-
ment is the technical position of the mar
ket 1t looks somewhat doubtful on this
point and it would not be at all slrpris-
ing if the reactionary tendency should
continue for several days longer and prob
ably give us a temporarily lower level
of values, which, however, should be re-
garded with favor by those who have not
entered the market during the recent
rise, or who have parted with their hold
ings.
regard to the markets future is well ex-
pressed in financial publication IN
which the following apepars: "Underly-
ing the present demand for securities Is
a superabundance of investment capital
and gold that exceeds anything this coun-
try has ever known in the past"
What we desire most at this time to
impress upon our friends is the neces-
sity of distinguishing between tenn
porary bearish position resulting from
technical conditions ana the ultimate bull
ish possibilities because OF great changes
that have occurred in worlds affairs and
of the likelihood of more important de-
velopments which will ultimately lead
to prosperity throughout the world.
We therefore reiterate the view which
we have expressed for several days that
il is advisable TO be on guard here for.

advantage of it by the accumulation OF

Hubby Should Be
Handy About House

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The question OF
the little boy who asked his mother,
"Who is this man who comes here on
Sunday and spanks me when I don't be-
have?" is not merely the idle imagining
of the cartoonists, according to Carroll
G. Pearse, head of the Milwaukee Normal
School, a speaker before the National
HomemakerS' Council here.
"No indeed continued Prof Peafse.
"Tha father of today pays too much at
tention to the factory and the shop and
not enough to the home"
Too many fathers, the speaker said,
carefessly remark at the club that they
"leave that to the wife'-meaning
things to be taken care of around the
home.
This. he declared, is a cowardly re-
sort. It's as much a mans business, in
the opinion of Professor Pearee to stoke
the furnace when the janitor is off play
ing poker as it is the wife's to put the
kettle on"
In fact. every husband should be q
janitor, as well, and a plumber and
generally handy man around the house,
if he is a good husband, according to
Professor Pearse.

With receipts extremely small at $500,
swine prices were Is to % cents higher
in trade on the local live stock exchange
today. This was the lightest run of
swine that has been on the local market
since the outbreak of the World War.
Buying of scattered punches by ship
pers and local packers constituted the
only early trading, while one of the
principal local packing concerns, which
generally takes more swine than another
packer, kept out of the market because
of higher prices. Representatives Of this
packing house stated that they did not
think the light run of the day should
cause higher values because this mar
ket has been out of line with other mar
kets of the country for the past week
or more.
There was no better buying movement
during the late forenoon hour than there
was early. considerable number of
swine, it was anticipated would be held
over for the market of the following day.
Trade in cattle was fairly active and
prices were fully steady to strong. The
quality was generally only fair to good.
Receipts were light at around 300 fresh
cattle
With receipts Of calves light and keen
competition between local buyers, trade
was erratic and prices $1M150 higher.
There were close to 200 on the market
early and it was estimated that there
would be 800 before the end of trade.
There was not a sufficient number of
sheep and lambs in the pens to warrant
the establishment of a market.

Wheat-The idea that we have exported
sufficient wheat to place us on domes
/ tic basis underlies the strength in wheat.
! Todays market was helped by higher for
eign markets and a report that futures
| were being bought in Winnipeg by for
eign interests. Private message from the
seaboard claim. There is export bust
ness doing in flour, but, outside Of this,
export trade is light Cash wheat in do
nestle markets maintains strength de-
! rived to a considerable extent from light
oiferings. Private estimates of the Aus
tralian surplus are slightly smaller than
a recent estimate of BrOomhalTs. Ar
gentine wheat is not offered freely as
the harvest there has been delayed by
rain. 1t is claimed, however, that the
quality is good. Some precipitation has
been reported from Kansas and the
weekly state report says that wheat is at
! least holding its own and in some in
stances shows fmprovemt mt Inasmuch as
the strength and buying in wheat at the
moment is predicated upon ultimate scar
city and as new export and milling de
mand are slow it may develop that values
are high enough for the moment On the
other hand, it is not wise to believe
strongly in lower prices until the Ar
gentine crop is offered more freely.
Corn and oats-There has been a con-
| siderable broadening of interest in the
corn market as well as buying by larger
cash interests. The Russian relief bill
| being responsible. SeabOard claims that
foreign buyers are slow in following the
advance nOnetheless, this market has
sold 100000 bushels to seaboard expor-
ters. Some receiving houses see evi-
dence Of increased offerings from the
country. 1t is not definitely known how
extensive the purchases by the Grain
Corporation will be, an announcement is
expected soon. Oats are without individ-
uanty, rejecting corn strength in a mod
crate way only.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The field of high Dnrometric pressure
which was over the upper Mississippi
Valley Wednesday morning has moved
eastward more than sOuthe2stward d
across the Lakes region. and has caused
decidedly colder weather In the middle
and north Atlantic States. Owing to this
more nOrtherly movement the tcmpera-
ture drop in this Immediate region was
only of moderate degree, but the readings
from the Aller nenies eastward are from
90 to 80 degrees lower than those of yes
terday morning. Warmer weather is fol-
lowing rapidly in the wake of the cold
spell. and has oyerspread all OF the
Northwest and thence sOuthward to the
middle Mississippi Valley and southern
plains region. Another field of high
barometric pressure has made it's appear
ance in extreme western Canada.
