of the chief arguers. the little girl was
signed to contract.
The little girl was Lila Lee and the
boy was George Jessel. Lila for years
played opposite Jessel in various Gus
Edwards vaudeville acts.
Recently when Jessel was signed to
star in "Hurdy Gurdy Man" for Fox,
the question of leading lady arose.
A dozen suggestions were made, the
girls called in and each time Jessel
turned thumbs down.
They won't do" he said.
"Well, If you're so smart. pick your
own leading lady," was the challenging
suggestion.
Jessel sent for Lila Lee. She was
given a talking and screen test and then
a contract was presented for her to sign.

GAINS AMONG
WOMEN

BALTIMORE. Dec. 5.-The
death rate among girls and young
women in industry has increased
greatly since the world war, &C.
cording to G. T. Evans, educa.
tional director of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association. This in.
crease has accompanied a great
influx of girls into the industrial
field.
The death and morbidity rate
among girls between 10 and rs
years ola is far greater than
among males of the same ages
in industry, Evans asserted.
Maryland has no other place
in which these girls, affected with
tuberculosis, can obtain the treat
ment at q nominal price which
they can receive at Miracle House, u
he continued. "Such places as
there are charge rates that are
out Of all reason, as far as they
are concerned.
For this reason the Maryland
Tuberculosis Association hopes to
be able TO keep the Miracle
House open for two months after
the regular summer season for
children among whom it has
worked exclusively heretofore.
"An experiment with fifteen
girls last season demonstrated the
need for such additional work.
It also showed that great benefits
are to be gained from It,"
