and there no words were wasted ana start made, with the public listen ing, toward a naval agreement. It was spectacular; that's why 1t worked and the premier gained a few inches more in reputation.
 The textile situation took a dip into the depths of gloom and j00,- 900 workers were idle. A Labor gov ernmcnt, to be true 10 it's name, would have to do something" and not sit idly by. The premier cogitat- ed and decided to zoom to Scotland hy airplanc, showing the country how hurried he was 10 settle such things. The premier settled" the situation by getting a commission 10 investigate while the textile work CTS returned 10 work There arc those who say the poppy airplanc trip helped.
 The Labor party had stood for recognition of the soviets. Something would have to be done about that, loo. But a sdodly portion Of English men were not warmed up 10 the prospect Care was necessary. So ! Premier Macdonald Cogitatcd a lit tie more and decided the sOviets would be recognized ic and when they first settled their disputes with Great Britain. No one could object 10 such fairness, The premier chuckled. The Conservatives were amazed.
 A minor achievement vas the ar 1 rangemont Of a treaty with Egypt | for local autonomy, or more of it i under British Jurisdiction at points , where tn" Suez canal would remain safe for British commerce to India. l This was an achievement of q l liberal mind and again erstwhile 1 critics were made silent and serene.
 The most recent ruction had to do with the warfare between Jews and Arabs in Palestine. Severely crti- cized by Jews the world over, espe- cially in America, for having failed to yield adequate protection in Pal cstine, the premier got his cabinet together for quick action before the Arabs took complete charge of the ] mandate, The result has been al least temporary peace in Pales- tine under the Jurisdiction of Brit ish Tommica. What is to be done later requires more time for thought
 And now the premier is 10 visit President Hoover, which is certain to be an epochal event in the his tory of Anglo relations This spectacular visit is of piece with the spectacular methods Of the premier in the recent past. ex- cept that it is little more spec tacular than any of the other spec tacular deeds.
 The world is beginning to like Premier Macdonald and his style. It is the product of a liberal con- ception Of the duties of public Of flee, He has taken the public into his confidence on every important occason instead of try to hide as much as possible from the ken of public thought. He started out 10 sell himself and his cabinet 10 the public using every modern method, such as the talkies and the British government radio. He has succeeded There is every prospect that Premier Macdonald and his Labor govern ment will not only register astound- ing achievements for Great Britain, but that the world will benefit from having at the head of the British government man who combines ilealism and fair-dcaling with such an amazing capacity to execute his principles in a manner commen- surata with popular approval.

CHAPTER SIX (Continuedl

Beaming over her glass of milk,
she seemed as wholesome as she
was colorful, but she was repeating
her quetion, aren't you going to tell
me the deep, dark secret of your
hfe?"
"Of course! But you must know
It already. Isn't there only one
reason IN anyone coming to Holly
wood?"
'You mean the moYieS?'
He nodded. surprised at the look
of disappointment which swept her
face.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I had hoped for
something better than that from
you"
What do you mean? What could
be better?"
You don't look that type at all, =
she continued, dejectedly. why
did you have to dash my girlish
hopes. Why couldn't you have been
an honeSt-to-God MANI"
The bluntneSS of her words hurt,
but when he looked at her he was
amazed TO see her eyes swimming
In tears.
You can't be serious" Miss Os-
bourne!"
II certainly am. If you knew as
much about these would-be movie
actors as do ="
1t was the most astounding con-
versation Howell had ever had. The
f1attery of her implication as well
as the hint of tears moved him
profoundly.
Ie said, seriously. You don't
mean to imply that there aren't any
real men engaged in the picture

He didn't like her nearly as well

followed her through the dining
room to the sunny front porch.
You mustn't let any one inveigie

I she insisted, angrily. 81 don't ex-

"Why not ask Central Casting,
Mrs. Levine?"
Il WILL" she promised. I'm 60
ing up there right now. More than
half the people on that set with me
last week have been recalled. Just
because I'm decent and go home to
my husband . -
"Oh, tell it to Will Hays" the
other retorted. Next" Nothing
doing today!"
To Howell, dismissed without a
glance, there was nothing left but
to walk away. He followed the
Jewish woman to the end of the
block, amused at her violence.
THERE was no use becoming dis
l. couraged. He hadn't expected to
succeed the first time he asked. But
why hadn't he left his name and
address so they could call him? The
5ruSqueness of the man in the office
| had confused him.
Next time he'd be more business
like. But the next time he was
informed, with cutting directnesS,
that they did not take names or
addresses. After the fourth refusal
he went to lunch, telling himself
this was all part of the game
1t was not until three days later
three days of bus rides to Culver
City Universal and First National
studios, that he was told he couldn't
expect any work unless he was reg
istered at Central Casting.
Central Casting? Where's that?'
Good God" his informant re-
piled. Are you trying to get into
the movies and don't know? It's in
the Guaranty Building, 3701 Holly
wood"
Here at last was something def
mite to do. Howell wondered why
no one had told him sooner. Why
couldn't Sally have told him? Or
any one of the different casting
Offices where he. had applied for
work?
Retracing his steps he returned
to the boulevard, reaching the
Guaranty Building shortly before
noon. He found "219" crowded with
women.
This is ladies' day" the man at
the desk shouted before he was
fairly inside. Come back tomor-
row, young fellow"
Blushing idiotically Howell re-
traced his steps to the elevator and
down into the sunny street. Wait
ing until tomorrow seemed irnpos-
sible, but there was nothing else to
do and as he dared not spend any
money unnecessarily, he decided to
return to Mrs. Benton's.
Life there had not proved so ex-
citing as he had hoped. No one
paid any attention to him beyond
an occasional greeting, and he had
been there almost a week.

if they really are SO INSCRIPTIONS
they can continue to operate"
"THEY'RE clever enough to evade
IL the law. That's the answer.
The contract they would insist on
your signing before you became a
pupil protects them:
after all, 1t isn't their fault If
after you've spent your money, you
can't secure work. I'll give you a
copy of one of the stories about
them if 1 can find it. Meanwhile,
try other tactics if you really are
determined to become a motion pic
ture star"
She ran down the steps, f1inging
her smile like a word of farewell
behind her. But he was absurdly,
childiShly hurt.
If they really were unreliable, as
no doubt they were, he was glad he
hadn't wasted any of his money.
But he wished some one else-any
one else but Sally Osbourne had
warned him.
He disliked her attitude towards
his chosen profession and her laugh
ter ringing through the dining room
had annoyed and embarrassed him.
Obviously, she considered him an
inexperienced boy, she would have
to take him under her wing. STAR
ing down the street after her jaunty
little figure, he reminded himself
for the second time that his interest
was in motion pictures, not women.
There was no place in his pres
ent scheme of things for even the
most attractive of red-haired COM
panions.
ct shall be civil to her he de-
cided but not too cordial"
The precaution, however, was I'M
necessary, for that night when he
saw her she passed him with only
a cool, little nod and none of her
former friendliness.

truth before it was too late After
all, no harm had been done except
to his own Self-esteem.
Except for couple of days he
was back where he'd started, and
with the addition of having found
a good place to live. Suddenly his
heart jumped to his throat. Before
him was one of the studios of which
the oil station attendant had spoken.
He would stop and ask for work.
Boldly he walked into the Office,
