Europe planning to Make
 Motor Touring Less lrksome

GENEVA, May 12.-(P)-Promot- CTS of tourist trade in Europe are going out of their way to make cas- fer the movements of parties travel ing in automobiles. Free-spending Americans are particularly invited to take notice, and to come and bring their cars and their money.
 An international road traffic con- ference will be held in Paris next fall. It will then be proposed to is- sue double certificates, one for the driver and one for the car, so the driver can change to another motor without trouble. There are to be international driving certificates for 12 months, facilitating entering and leaving a country as often as desir- ed. Standard road signs will be adopted, and explained to drivers, and interstate touring will otherwise be made safer and more agreeable.

Only One In 5O,OOO Movie
 Actors Achieves Stardom

HOLLYWOOD, May 13.-(P)-Fig- ures compiled durin gthe last five years by the largest moving picture producing companies reveal that the aspirant to stardom in the films must overcome 50,000to-1 chance of achieving success.
 The figures indicate that in the past five years, screen service bu- reaus of Hollywood have supplied over 100000 men, women and child ren, who at first were inexperienced in moving picture work. Of these 100000, not to exceed six or seven have reached a point where their names were carried on the screen, and only two have become stars of any magnitude.
 Many included in the figures had some theatrical experience, and the contrast is drawn with the fact that nearly all of the prominent stars and featured players have had stage experience"
 "A beautiful face," directors say, "or a pretty figure, or both, without special histronic ability, are useless in filmland."
