Not Oppose Paying for
Overtime.
By the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, Calf. November
20.-The motion picture industry. at
least that section represented by the
motion picture producers and distribu-
tors of America is willing to recognize
eight hours as days work in the
films, Fred w. Beetson, secretary Of
the national organization, told the
State Industrial Welfare Commission
at a hearing here.
He pointed out, however. that if the
employment of woman extras were
limited to eight hours a day it would
work "a material hardship" on the in
dustry. He suggested the payment of
overtime would be n solution fair TO
both extras and producers.
Man and woman extras testified for
the most part that the days work
could not be limited to hours, but
that it should be limited to II. with
overtime for everything over the basic

Wool, Jersey, Cashmere,
Sports Frock Fabrics

Unchallenged in its superiority, the
jumper frock in versions for every
event of the day becomes the fashion
Of the hour. For daytime wear in town
there are two-piece frocks of Rodiers
rep or cashmere fabrics such as but
confront model with high neck and
box-plaited front skirt. For the after
noon, variations appear in crepe de
chine, crepe satin, sometimes pin
tucked at the shoulder to give deep
yoke effect, cuffs and apron front or
again scroll embroidered.
Originally designed for sports wear,
the jumper frock attains smartest ex-
preston in the sports fabrics-wool
Jersey, cashmere or flannel, often COM
bined with crepe de chine. A model
of wool jersey features four pockets
and crepe de chine collar, cuffs and
tie. Another of wool jersey is trimmed
and scarfed in cashmere plaid, while a
third combines a plaid jumper and
scarf with a white flannel front, box
plated skirt Chanels sweater shirt,
two-piece moGel, bordered in crepe de
chine, accompanied by plated crepe
silk skirt in all the pastel shades, be-
came a veritabIe rage. This same cos
tune, all in natural kasha, is smart,
too.
Many Of the crepe silk-plaited skirts
are mounted on q silk bodice top to
ensure an even hang. Jumper frocks
often embody mannish tweeds, too.

Linen and Cotton-How
to Discover Difference

Cotton now is made to look so much
like linen that it passes close scrutiny
with any but an expert, says a CORE
spondent in the Kansas City Star.
The shopper finds her best protec-
ton in the reputable merchant who
knows pure linen from union goods or
mercerized cotton, but there are many
clerks who are not aware that in sell
ing cheap table linen they are selling
cotton that is finished to look like
linen. Often the finishing is done so
skillfully that it is almost impossible
10 detect it until the material has been
washed, when the frizzy en- as of the
cotton fibers will show up on the sur
face of the cloth.
1t is not always an advantage to IN
sist on an all-linen material, however.
If the choice lies between a thin, heav-
lily sized linen woven from the broken
and short ends of poor fax, and a
good union or mercerized cotton. it
would be far wiser purchase to get
the excellent quality of cotton, espe-
cially when the effect is so perfect and
beautiful that none but an expert can
tell the difference.
Nevertheless, If a woman has set
her heart upon stocking her chests
and closets with real linen, and is
willing to pay the price to get the
genuine article, she wants to be able
to recognize linen when she sees it.
When a cloth which resembles linen is
very cheap-real linen is expensive
and feels stiff and crackly, rather than
tough, pliable and leathery, it is just
as well to subject 1t to some more
rigid tests before buying.
The old-fashioned custom of mois-
tening the finger and putting it under
the linen is no longer a reliable test.

CHICKEN STOCK Of
HAND VERY USEFUL
One Secret of FlaUor;ng Is
Use of Garlic.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The advantages in buying a fowl OF
old tough chicken occasionally, or in
having to take out the nonlayers from
the flock and use them, are that when
properly cooked the meat may be en-
joyed in number of ways and it is
always useful to have plenty of chick
en- stock on hand. Chicken broth may
be delicious, or flat and tasteless, &c
cording to the way in which it has
been prepared. One secret Of lavoring
chicken soup well is to cook a Glove
of garlic with the chicken, taking 1t
out when the meat is done This Is
practically imperceptible to those who
have prejudice against garlic, bus Z
gives tone and zest to both the meal
and the broth. Lacking garlic, a leelS
or small onion should be used in
stead. A small amount Of celery flavor
is also an Improvement, either in the
form of the cooked vegetable itself,
celery salt, or celery seed. Care
should be taken not to make the eel
cry flavor predominant over the dell
cate chicken flavor.
The United States Department of
Agriculture gives the recipe below for
cooking chicken so that there will
be plenty of well-seasoned broth. The
chicken meat may be taken from the
bones when tender and served in a
variety of ways. 1t may be c-eamed,
served la king, used as chicken pie
with gravy made from part Of the
sauce, served as curried chicken, cut
up for chicken salad, or minced for
chicken hash, chicken spaghetti, chick
en- croQuettes, or chicken sandwich

garlic.
Clean the chicken carefully and cut
in pieces. Place in a kettle and pour
the cold water on it, Cook slowly or
simmer until the chicken is tender.
Tie the vegets bles into a bouquet
and let boil with the meat for about
one hour before the meat is done. Re-
move the meat and add salt md pep
per to taste. If all the vegetables can
not be had, the flavor may be i'm
proved by crushing teaspoonful of cell
cry seed and boiling that with the
SOlp Add, a little finely chOnDed

When ready to use, reheat and serve
with rice or dumplings.

Often the moisture will come through
a heavy linen or one with much starch
in it, while it will not come through a
sheer, tightly woven cotton; and then
many of the damasks contain materi-
ais in the finish-certain gums and
oils, for example-that are not solu-
BILE in water. Thus fine, good grade
of linen might be cast aside after
applying the saliva test.
A better way is to put drop of
olive oil or glycerine on the material
and press it between blotting paper.
A fine piece of linen will become
translucent when treated with olive
oil, but If there is too much starch,
or the material is cotton, it will re-
main Opaque.
1t is easy enough to make the Tight
test" Hold the fabric up to the light
and look through it. Cotton threads
are even and uniform, linen threads
are uneven and streaked. However,
cotton is sometimes spun TO make an
uneven yarn, initiating the natural ir-
Irregularities of the linen thread. The
tearing test" is surer. Cotton cloth
does not tear quickly, the edges curl
up. does not sound shrill, and the ends
show short, curly, tufted, and luster-
less. On the other hand, linen tears
straight and smooth, with a shrill
sound. If cotton thread is broken
quickly the end curls up; if linen
thread Is broken quickly the ends re-
main straight.
When a lighted match is applied to
a cotton thread 1t burns quickly and is
hard to blow out; linen burns more
slowly and smolders.

Bright Colors to
Rule New TUNES
Red, Green, Blue, Lavender,
Among Favored Shades
for Spring Wear.

There Is a great splash of red all
through the long row of the new
tunics. 1t is impossible to get too
bright red, and where the plain color
does not make the body of the cos
tune it is used in trimming or may
furnish the color for the slip founda-
ton.
1t Is very hard these days, what
with the frightening of blouses and
the shortening of skirts, to tell tunic
from dress at first glance. Not until
after it has been put on can tunic be
differentiated from one Of the short,
straightline frocks. There is, how
ever, difference in price based on the
traditional figures governing blouses
and dresses, rather than on any differ
ence in materials or elaboration.
The tendency to confuse the two
garments is all the greater since the
seasons tunics are developed in dress
styles, with long jabot trimming, side
plaits and other Details Also many
Of them have a border Of plain mate
rial applied to gayly colored prints.
One such tunic is made of flow
cred print, with V-shaped neck open
ing, very short sleeves and an applied
hem of heavy scarlet crepe which
matches the red in the design and
weights the garment. This tunic. as it
will appear during the warm days. is
worn with a slip of white silk which
emphasizes the fresh, summary look of
the costume. A red hat and white
shoes and stockings are included In
the general color scheme.
AS if in answer to the call from the
tunic for all kinds and colors in slips,
