vIRGINIA's DILEMMA

You don't mean 1t, virgie! Well, you are getting on." exclaimed Jack with a gulp when told him that I was going with Theodore Stratton. That is what it means to be a girl In this business" he continued thought fully.
 Why. Jack! What do you mean?" I demanded.
 "oh, a girl has all the best of it," he evaded.
 I looked at his face quickly. A shadow had settled over it. why, I thought 1t was harder for a girl to get in than a boy"
 Use your brain a little, Virginia. Don't you know the powers that really count in the movies arc all men. If you happen to fill the eye of one of them. We'll, I don't have to diagram the rest of 1t for you, virgie."
 Neither spoke for a moment. Then Jack continued dolefully.
 Just look about you. Look at the chickens that are put into parts that they can't possibly fill. You have seen the way some directors have worked with some stupid flapper without brains enough to find the way home. And the queer thing is the age of the men that are making love to and giving these girls soft jobs"
 "Yes, Jack, it has seemed to me that the men are too old for lovers of these young girls. I know I could never fall in love with ono of them"
 "Virgie, you are positively refresh ing" and Jack grinned for the first time. Don't you know that in the minds of the old guys, man Is never too aged to make love to sweet IS? But what I wanted to say Is that for a man. 1t Is long. slow work. You have to show the producer and the director every step along the way. While a good-looking girl will get her chance and jump right into a part with man like Theodore Strat- ton if she happens to take his fancy"
 Jack, Jack, you are unkind!" I protested, but not too vehemently. for recognized a grain of truth in what he said.
 No, I am not. Virgie. I am telling you the truth. What does Theodore Stratton know of your ability?"
 After a pause in which I tried to find some excuse for my benefactor's preference I could only remonstrate faintly by repeating: You are un- kind, Jack, and you know it,"
 Perhaps, Virgie, and also a little envious. But then there may come the time when we have women direc- tors and then watch mew and Jack smiled again at the thought. ].
 "Oh, Jack, don't. I hate to think that everything in this business goes by favor.'
 Everything? Even kissing goes by favor, Virgie.'
 With his words Jack stopped and kissed me. Before l could speak he was gone.
 For moment I was very angry but afterward I understood that 1t was just kiss of reconciliation. Jack

Washington, March l2.--tSpecialD Maj. Gen, Peter C. Harris, the adju- tant general of the army since Sep tember l, 1918. will leave the United States shortly after April 1 on leave of absence to extend until August Sl, 1922, the date on which his four year detail as the adjutant general expires, when he will go on the re tired list as major general, upon his own application.

Alabama Farmers Haue Much Corn on
 Hand, Gist States

Montgomery March 12.-(speeialO Alabama farms had on hand March 1 an unused surplus of 51 per cent of last years crop of corn, amounting 10 31 200, 900 bushels, according to re- port issued Saturday by F. W. Gist, federal and state statistician for az riculture This compares with 4S per cent held a year ago and 47 per cent as the average for the past 10 years.
 The additional volume of corn held by farmers reflects both the in creased amount produced last year and less proportion sold; the latter due to low prices and high transpor- tation costs, which have retarded the disposition of surplus corn, according to Mir. Gist. The portion which has been or will be shipped out of the county of growth from last crop Is es- tlmated at per cent. Much of this will be disposed of within the state, while additional to this inter-farln sales in sections of growth will supply a considerable portion of the needs of those who may be shy on corn.
 It is estimated that iS per cent of wheat grown last year was still on the farms March 1 while only 2. per cent was or will be shipped out Of the county of growth.

 cudgelled my brain for a way out of my dilemma. Where my evening clothes were by this time only the thief could tell. finally called up Tommy Warner and fortunately found him at home.
 Tommy, what shall I do?"
 Do. What do you want to do. Nirgie." He had recognized my voice
 Well, you know l had 8 robbery the other day and the thieves took two of my evening dresses. one of which I had worn on the set at the World Wide They want me for night work to finish the picture and don't know what to do"
 There's only one way out of that. You'll have to go down and get one"
 But, Tommy. I am working at the Kalsey in the daytime. And besides I'm almost broke"
 Serves you right, Nirgie. for try ing to do two jobs at the same time. .
 Now Tommy, you know very well 1t would be ridiculous for me to wait a whole week for a. job at the World Wide when I might be working some where else. The World Wide will probably only be for one night, any way. The exteriors only took one night"
 T don't sec how you are going to handle it, yirgle. You have got to get a dress as near like the other as you can and maybe have it fixed over"
 Well, I'll get out of 1t some way" I assured him hopefully.

 The satisfactory condition today of the records of the World war and the work incident thereto is due to the adoption of new system of record making and record keeping.
