Why American Girls Succeed.
WHY are American girls the most

WHY are American girls the most
successful screen actresses In the
world?
CASTOR Glass, the young French ac-
tor. who spent the early years Of his
career in pictures abroad. and is now
under contract here with Preferred Pic
tures believes the ascendency Of Amer
lean screen actresses is explained by
the fact that producers in this country
are wise enough to make beauty the
chief requisite for stardom.
Beauty is a vague and elusive
thing. 1t is judged by a different
standard In every country" says
Glass. I'm England the beautiful
girl is the statuesque type. inclininG
toward the athletic. In France she
is a sophisticated woman Of the
world whose acting is heavy and
full of emotionalism. But in Amer
lea the beautiful girl Is more like
dancing doll. She is the incarnation
of youth above everything else and
youth Is the one type of beauty that
never fails to reach out and become
universal in It's appeal.
Moreover. the American girls
temperament fits her better for studio
life. She is far easier to work with
than the European actress. She does
not take herself or her work as Sc
riously and is. therefore, able to give
1t spontaneity which the woman
abroad is never able to put across.

THE CALL OF TmE CAMPS

Announcement that recruits
for the citizens military training
camps, to be conducted the COM
ing summer, are now being en-
rolled will be welcomed by a
host Of Sturdy young Americans
who realize the advantages in
store for them. Reviewing a de-
tachment of graduates Of last
years camps, President Harding
expressed the wish that 100000
or more could thus be trained
every summer, Some day that
may be possible. In the mean
time the authorities must do the
best they can with the facilities
at their disposal.
Certainly there is nothing in
this arrangement TO evoke the
fears OF III 1se who are apphesen-
sive that 'militarism" will get a
grip on this country. Paying
every expense, including trans
portation, uniforms, food and
lodging. the government exacts
no pledge of future military ,serv-
ice from those taking the two
elementary courses. There are
other courses for those willing
to serve in the regular army, the
national guard or the enlisted re-
serve corps, or who are ambi-
tious to become second lieuten-
ants.
The mental, moral and physical
benefits to the voting men at
tending these camps have been
demonstrated beyond question,
The wise youth who avails him
self OF the opportunity has the
satisfaction of knowing that he
IS not only helping himself but
also rendering a service to his
country.
