SLEEPING CARS
 OVER IN EUROPE
Are Quite Different From Those
 in United States

Washington, D. c. Aug. 6.-Life on Continental Sleeper" is de- scribed in the following story:
 French sleeping cars are differ ent from the usual sleepers in, America, although they have some things in common with the most recent American compartment coaches" says the bulletin. "An aisle extends down one side of the car, about the length of an Ameri- can coach. and from this aisle doors open into the compartments. The latter have floor plan some what like that of a grand piano; they are narrow at the entrance door. hnd flare to greater width at the other side of the car. In the 'scallop' is a door leading to a small lavatory which is sandwiched between two adjoining compart- ments and is shared by their occu- pants. An ingenious device bolts both the lavatory doors at once, ins ring privacy. You are almost ready to believe that the electrical designer sought to play a joke on the passengers. Switches are cleverly hidden so that they seem a part of the decorations. You poke about until you are lucky enough to touch them by accident.
 Tricked Out With "Gadgetsr
 ''In the compartments two bun ks may be prepared, lower and an upper, placed across the train, not In the direction of travel as in America. No curtains are used and yoI necessarily share the little room rather intimately with whenever the other ticket has been sold to. Ticket agents must, of course, be exceedingly careful in their sales. There can be no haphazard selling of uppers and lowers to men and women as in America.
 "Continental sleeping cars are filled to overfowing with 'gadgets' particularly the upper berth, by way, perhaps of consolation for loss gof the lower. Little nests of nickeled hooks fold out of eack other fan-wise so that you may hang every garment you possess on a separate hook, and still have racks and nets and hammocks be- sides. The lower berth even has a special little sleeping plush rest and hook for your watch so that you may hang it open beside your head. From the ceiling a broad web strap extends down to the side of the upper berth at the middle to keep it's occupant from rolling out the original. no doubt, of the

Movie Actors Average
 200 in Usual Play

Hollywood, Cal, Aug. 6 P-Two hundred players are employed in the making of an average program motion picture, and of this number fifteen or more are principals who receive an average salary of s750 weekly for playing, starring, featur- cd or character roles.
 These figures, based upon ten years of observations, were compiled by E. Mason Hopper, director of Metropolitan Pictures Corporation. And the trend, he says, is toward the use of more players and more technical men as pictures advance in artistic quality.
 Whereas now we can make very creditable picture with 200 actors and actresses" he said, q be- lieve the picture of the future will need three and four times as many to give it the true sense of realism which is the' aim of producers"

similar devices now being intro duced into America
 The generally accepted custom at bed time is for the holder of the lower berth to surrender the compartment to his fellow traveller until the latter retires, and then to retire himself. In the morning the order is reversed the occupant of the lower rises first unless des- tinations differ and the upper traveller must leave the train first. There are no smoking rooms on Continental sleepers. In the cor ridor, held against the outer wall by spring, are hinged seats which may be lowered. Here one sits smokes If he likes, while his com partment companion dresses; and at other times if he prefers the scenery on the corridor side of the train. When lowered, unfortun- ately, these seats. pretty well block the aisle, so that you must hop up whenever passengers or train at tendants wish to pass."
