MANY ANXIOUS BUT
 FEW ARE CHOSEN
This Is History Of Those Seeking
 Movie Careers

Hollywood, Cal, Aug 1 Rp-- Var jed types are included in the many thousands of men, women and youths who come here each year seeking careers in the motion pie lures. Few ever reach stardom.
 Estimates compiled recently re- vealed that since 1917 more than 150,000 persons registered with screen employment agencies on the Pacific Coast. Today the list Of those steadily employed number little more than lS,000. Therefore, some 1S5,- GOO failed to find q footing on the stepping-stone to cinemaand.
 Freaks Wanted
 Statistics obtained from film labor bureaus here and in Los Angeles show that 800 bald headed men, whose principal bid for screen fame is their lack of hair, and 100 one legged men, who believe that they should be in the pictures because they have but one limb, are register cd. On the files of these agencies al- so are listed ten cross-cycd men, 30 athletes. 200 professional and non professional gamblers, 12 midgcts glass eaters and sword sWaIoWera,
 So great is the desire of persons to get into the pictures that in an hours time counterparts of all fam ous men of the past, enough cow boys to stage a rodeo or sailors sui- flcient to man ship can be brought together In a days time 5000 per sons for mob scene or 1900 wom- en for a ballroom can be assembled. They bring their own costumes.
 Wage Scale
 The wage scale at a majority of the studios is similar. Extras for mob scenes, who are taken irrcSpsC- tive of age, size or nationality re- Coive an average of S3 q day. Hand picked extras of approximately the same size, similar features and color of eyes are paid s5. Character eX- tras, those who are "camera wise" including winsome misses and youug men who possess complete ward robes, are paid S7,5O a day. Young women In afternoon and evening gowns, capable of giving proper tat mosphere" to gatherings of the elite. are given s10.
 Other "Fcaturcs"
 A scrubwoman is paid $750 for q few minutes work before the camera. A stunt man is paid S1,500 to drive a motorcycle at forty-five miles an hour into a racing car. Swimmers are given $1O0 to dive 100 feet into the sea and a rider $400 to "fall' a horse over a cliff into mountain stream. An -prizetighter earns from $50 to $100 to give and take, bare listed, in a scrap of a few min utes duration and juggler receives as high as S200 for showing his tricks in a circus side-show scene.
 Sixty per cent of the thousands of persons registered at the film em1 ployment offices are women. The greatest number of an individual group are girls and young women seeking employment in ballroom scenes and similar work. Many girls who are listed possess wardrohes as elaborate as any owned by a million aires daughter.

GOOD JOB BEeErs ANOTHER

Senator Hale, chairman Of the
naval committee of the Senate, is to
be commended for his efforts to &C
quaint himself with conditions which
that committee must consider. There
would be better legislation were all
our lawmakers to show like interest.
He has personally inspected condi-
tions on the Pacific Coast and at
Hawaii. His conclusions, we feel
sure, will appeal to the public as SEN
sible. There is ample demonstration
that navy unfit is, in time of en-
Urgency, little better than none at ALL
The Washington Conference agreed
upon what the representatives of the
nations that were parties to that con-
ference concluded our navy should be.
We should not fall below that stand
ard, unless material change in condi-
tions occurs. In sense the United
States is under obligations to keep up
to that standard.
Senator Hale has told the President
about the conditions he found. The
President has asked him also to in
vesigate the expenditures for the
navy to make sure whether some saw
ing may not be effected. Such a re-
quest should have been and doubtless
was expected by Senator Hale Hav-
ing done one good job he becomes fit
for doing another. There is always
a demand for the competent. 1t is a
fair surmise that the first job is the
easier of the two. Both are needed.
While 1t may be presumed a saving
may be effected, yet, whether or not
this be found possible, the result will
nowise minimize the needs of which
Senator Hale told the President. II
Pearl Harbor be not suitable for our
ships it should be made suitable.
Senator Hale presents convincing
evidence that it is not suitable, that
twenty-five more millions are needed
to put It in shape. That when it shall
have been put in condition it will be
a base that should make our country
impregnable on the West. And who
Is there to say this should not be
done?
