| JARD|NE AS HEAD
Florida Citrus Groups Lead

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In statement reaching this city
yesterday. A. NJ. Pratt. acting chair
man of the Florida citrus clearing
committee and of the F'rutman's
Club, declared that neither of these
organizations has had any connection
with the reported organization of a
general co cooperative fruit growers and
shippers exchange which sought
Secretary Jardine as it's head.
Investigating these reports, Mr..
Pratt said, he found that small
group of men" had been in Washing
ton claiming to represent the Flor
ida clearing house movement"
Ready to Function.
at Is plainly evident from the
names secured so far" he continued
''and from the fact that none of these
gentlemen conferred with the clear.
ing house committee. that this step is
simply one initiated and undertaken
by the Florida Citrus Exchange and
should not be confused in the minds
OF any grower with the broad under
lying principles for which the Fruit
mans Club clearing house committee
was formed. and for which 1t stands
ready to function as soon as final or
ganization papers are received.
"As chairman of the committee,
speak for the great ma ajority when we
express regret of any abortive at
tempt being made by any one citrus
faction that would interfere with
Secretary Jardine's department giving
the committee the immediate benefit
of its unbiased judgment. or that
~ ipta
ington giving us the support for which
the committee has been SO long wait
ing, and which was promised by Sec
retary Jardine."
Plea for Coordination.
Mr.. Pratt made plea for co.ordina-
ton of effort among all factions in
working out the problems Of the citrus
fruit growers and shippers. He warn
ed against attempting secretly and
mysteriously to bring about a mis-
carriage" of the plan that has been
adopted by the Fruitman's Club which
has been submitted to Secretary Jar
dine for recommendations and ap-
proval.
"The Fruitman's Club committee"
he said, in conclusion, Representing
all factors, will continue to work along
practical lines for a clearing house
which will bring about true co-ordina.
ton between all interested.
"I am sure speak for all members
Of the clearing house in expressing
the hope that recent developments
will in no way interfere with the Flor.
ida Citrus Exchange officials cooper
ating with other members Of the Fruit
mans Club in establishing the clear
ing house so greatly needed for this
seasons business"

That beautiful. even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades. turns gray or streaked, just an applica- ton or two of Sage and Sllpnur enhances it's appearance g hun dredfold.

 Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now be- cause it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied You simply damp en sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared. and after anoth- CT application 1t becomes beauti- fully dark and appears glossy and lustrous. adv

EXTRAS, LIKE COLLEGE STUDENTS,
 WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH MOVIES

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 14-- Many an Illuminating treatise has been written on how to work one's way through the movies.
 So the many students in cellu- Ibid who are supporting them selves while learning the way to screen stardom in that unofficial university called the extra ranks are going it alone, without handbooks. The part-time occu. pations they follow in order to stretch an occasional days work as an extra into three meals q day and a place to live are discoy cred haphazardly under the pinch of necessity, and, for the most part, are quite different from those followed by the self-sup. porting college student.
 One of the commonent part- time occupations among extra girls is modelling. If she is good looking enough to get occasional, work in front of the camera, a girl is usually suitable also fof work as model in some fashion able women's wear shop or whole sale garment establishment.
 Other extra-glrls usher in mo- tion picture theatres, under an arrangement which permits them to take a day or week off now and then to work in some picture. It frequently happens in theatres hereabouts that one is escorted to ones seat by an usherette who few minutes later flashes incoa- spicuously on the screen in the dance hall sequence of the fea- ture picture.
 In the same theatre there may be several motion picture extras working on the stage in a pro logue. And after one goes homo and turns on the radio, the piano selection one hears may be from the fingers of g motion picture extra, who is supplementing her screen earnings on the air.
 Other extra-girls support them. selves by needlework, or by paint ing favors or score-cards for bridge parties. Some dance at night clubs.
 Both male and female extrls frequently sell real estate for living. and there are a few male garment models among the extra men. One man who plays doctors and presidents of boards of dircc- tors on the screen drives a gray. el truck between pictures. Other extramen are automobile service station attendants.
 Waiting on table. an occupation which has put many an ambitious lad through college. is practically never followed as part-time work by screen extras.
