washington. D. c.. Nov. 8.-The
Rock Island Moline district was
reported a. showing general ad-,,
,.nce in business during the past
uopth when the department Of ag-;;
riculture issued its review Of the
.mployment situation here today. ,
IN common with other Illinois
cifies. q shortage Of farm labor
"a noted in the vicinity Of Rock
island, due particularly to the corn
harvest.
Building operations are in full
swing at Rock Island, as in other
narts Of the state, according TO sse
district director, who reviewed the
Illinois situation. Gradual addition
70 the forces OF implement plants
Al East Moline have assisted the
employment situation.
Peoria is the only large down
state city to report recent decline
in employment, and this is laid
largely to transportation Difficult
ties. which have made it necessary
for some industries there to oper-
ate part time.
For the state in general indus
tries are said to be employing II
per cent more men than a year
ago. Illinois coal mines are OPP
Grating, however, at but 40 per
cent Of normal, with men working
only IS to % hours a week. 1n!s
unsatisfactory situation is ascrib-
ed wholly to lack of local cars,
which representatives of the federal
fuel administration In the state are
striving to supply in quantity suf-
hcient TO fill the needs Of coal deal
] ers within the state.
Special comment is directed in
the department of labor report to
the recent strides made in down.
state building programs, the aggre-
gate of which now runs to a num-
Der of millions of dcilar5.
At present hundreds of common
laborers are still employed on read
improvements in many parts Of tie
state, but the cessation of work on
these during late. November and
early December will turn this la
Dor supply into other channels. AS
there las been a demand for COM
mon labor. from practically every
city downstate, the government re-
ports figure that the road workers
will be readily absorbed and do not
look for an increase in unemploy-
nent in this direction.
Railroad shops are reported as
operating below normal for a num-
Der of cities, but this does not ap-
pear as an item in the Rock Island
survey. Decatur and Springfield
both report unemployment among
shopmen.
The steel industry in the north
crn part of the state is operating at
about 20 per cent of normal. due in
part to transportation shortage.

himself on the fact that, thanks 20 the

The explanation Of this is that after

Poppaea in the william Fox spectacle
Nero" which is now being shown al
the Lyric Theater.
when Mr. Fox sent his American or
rani1ation TO Rome 10 make this DIG
p,cture Mr.. Edwards was at his wit
end to find a young woman suitable
for the role Of Poppaea. He wanted
n tall woman Of commanding dignity
perfcet poise, s,atuesque beauty and
the ability 20 act like Bernhardt. The
American screen world has plenty OF
pre.ty little ringleted blondes, but no
one who answers the description OF
the Empress Poppaen as exempliiied
3, tho choice eventually made by Mr.
Edwards.
The director and his company sailed
for Europe without leading woman
Mr. Fox promised TO send one over
later. Time passed and Nh Edwards
was in a ouandary. lie left Rome and
returned TO Paris on business. Quite
By chance in the French capital he met
Morris Gest. the theatrical impresario.
He described the kind Of woman he
needed. Mr.. Gcst. who is an authority
on beautiful women. said:
81 know just the woman you want.
Come with me-
Edwards went with Gest 70 the Folies
Bergcre and there he saw Paulctte Du-
val. a music hall artist OF striking ap-
pearancc. He saw in her a beauty Of
wonderful screen possibilities. She
had never had screen experience and
was getting something like 400 francs
month for her exceptional services
current rate Of exchange this meant
S36 a month. or 50 week; but then
theatrical salaries in Paris arc no.
toriously small. Edwards engaged her
al a salary or 5000 francs a month
and took her to Rome. where she acted
the role Of the wicked Poppaca in the
screen version OF Nero being called
upon TO do all kinds Of wicked things
and roll up a regular crime wave Of
her own.
Now Miss Duval 10 under contract
with the Fox Film Company TO play
another wicked woman in a fortheom-
ing spectacle. She is still in Europe
working with Mr.. Edwards, but will
come TO America next October in order
to join the Fox company in California.
Miss Duval is unquestionably ono Of
the screen discoveries Of the year
