1T does not take physical prowess
to handle a megaphone under ordi'
nary conditions" Thomson points out,
"but If a director has scenes requlr.
ing hard riding and other forms OF
sweeping movement over rough coun'
try he must move fast in order TO
keep near his players.
"Often this means clinging to a
camera car travelling 35 or 40 miles
an hour over rocky terrain; at times

sistants to perch in precarious posi-
tions on mountain sides, or balance
themselves on the top of a swaying
stage coach. Only men fond of vigor'
Gus life can do these things, and
catch the spirit Of the scenes in a
way to make the boys cheer and the
old folks gasp"
1t is for this reason that Thomson

CARS is
CAREER FOR WOMEN

Selling automobiles is one of the
most fascinating careers open to wo-
men. The work is interesting and in
wolves less routine than most other
professions. Success is dependent on
ly upon the individuals ability and
effort
In these words Miss Jill Jeffreys, Of
Sidney, Austa ia, tells why she started
selling motor cars two years ago and
why she is today one of the leaders in
this line in Australia. Her business
and pleasure is selling Dodge Broth
ers cars Standardized Motors, Ltd,
Dodge Brothers dealers at Sidney.
Miss Jeffreys has had enterest-
ing experiences and her observations
are of special interest. Though she
is brisk, young and attractive, she
does not put much faith in personality.
st counts" she says, "but knowledge
and training count as much or more"
Women are easier buyers than men,
Miss Jeffreys has found. "They knew
what they like and what they dent
like, even if their reasons sometimes
cannot be understood except by a wo-
man.
Men are apt to regard sales
woman with tolerant amusement at
first. When that attitude is broken
down she gets the same chance as
anyone who knows their job but in
most cases it is easier for man to sell
a man
Miss Jeffreys does not agree with
the old idea that women do not know
their own minds. She says:
Members of our sex are accused of
being indefinite but the chief thing
about them is that they are much more
definite than men,"
She prefers, however, to work with
men, for in her opinion "they are more
Tolerant and just, and are less given
to interference than are women"
Like everything else, the business of
selling automobiles has some disagree
able features, Miss Jeffreys admits
The first nine months in her new
work were spent in arduous training
They were what she calls "dog days"
but later they proved wonderful
foundation.
Although Miss Jeffreys was the sec
ond woman to take up such work in
Australia, in the two years which have
elapsed since she began, numbe Of
women have obtained similar positions
with various automobile firms.
