The Diary of Professional Movie Fan
BY GLADYS HALL.

When a girl is self-conscious she is
likely to be distinctly conscious of
her looks. She has them in the fore
ground of her mind all the time. be-
cause she hasn't anything else to fill
that foreground. That detracts from
all her charm. of course. Beauty
must be natural. 1t must be spon-
taneous. When girl looks out from
the stage or is before the camera
she must not be thinking about her
self or about how she looks. but of
the thing which she must be doing
at that moment. If she's engaged in
considering whether she looks better
seen at one angle than she does at
another. she is bound to lose the
spirit Gf the play.
Girls who earn their living on the
stage or screen cannot afford to be
tired. They must get long hours of
restful sleep. Fatigue marks the face
with unmistakable hollows and etch-
ings; The complexion suffers. The
whole face is wan and weary.
Girls who are on the stage or
screen must eat right and at the
right times. They must exercise.
even If they do have a lot of dancing
and moving about to do in their work
are rich in mental relaxation, and
mental relaxation pays rich dividends
in loveliness.
TT isn't easy to be beautiful. A
beautiful girl has hard job In the
world. Much is expected of her and
she dare not fail. even for an hour or
a day. She dare not rest on her
laurels."

The Girls.

The city was filled with the clamor
or boys. The papers carried stories
about them. One played at being
mayor and another at being the con-
troller for a day. Boys took the
principals chairs in schools and boys
paraded thousands strong.
"Why isn't there some reference
tn girls?" demanded somebody of the
busy man in charge of boys week.
"Why, we computed the percentage
of girls that were sent to institutions
or placed under arrest, or got into
trouble one way and another, and
it was negligible. We thought it bet
ter to put all our effort on the boys"
This may have been the very right
thing to do. I'm not sure. In my
mind something rebels. Surely one
need not get into Jail before being
thought worthy of care and attention
and Appreciation!
So here's to the girls!
All honor to them that they are
not arrested or sent to institutions
All praise to them for keeping as near
right as they can and keeping out of
trouble with the authorities" 1t Is
no harder for boy TO be decent than
1t is for a girl, out the girl works
harder at 1t!
And for that they are called the
weaker sex. and boys are begged to
consider their weakness and protect
them, That day has long gone by.
The notion that girls could not run.
climb, swim. study and work as the
equals and competitors of boys has
been laughed out of existence.
At school the girls are beating the
boys at their studies. They can swim
and make records; they can play
games and gain health and strength
and team spirit. They can earn their
own living without help from the
boys. From this generation on the
boys will have to earn their places

The attempt to deny or ignore evil

The fairy tale that the old serpent

no real existence and makes no real
difference.

Exercise for the Middle Ear.

In many cases of chronic impair
ment of hearing, due to various
disease processes involving the deli
cate mechanism of the middle ear
cavity, which is a space the size of
pea housing the famous little
bones known as the hammer. anvil
and stirrup, just within the ear
drum, there is an associated annoy
ance called tinnitus, head noises
varying from kissing or buzzing
sounds to ringing or roaring. Tin
nitus is found to depend upon causes
far from the ears or hearing in about
as many cases as il is present in ear
disease, so that even If one be more
or less deaf and have such head
noises II does not follow that the
tinnituS is due to the ear trouble,
for 1t may, of course. be attributable
to tobacco. acetanilid. salicylateS or
salyicylic acid, and to various Sys-
temic disease conditions which l need
not mention here.
Exercise of the middle ear is
remedial measure in chronic deafness
and associated tinnitus. which treat
ment is seldom tried by the patient
with anything like the constancy or
persistence with which other reme-
dies or treatments are applied. For
exercise is seldom taken seriously by
the very people who most need it
and would gain most from ii. On the
other hand, exercise seems such .

used by the very people who should

Now, then. exercise your middle ear

some middle ear exercises which have
