VERY shortly after she was mustered out of
the ambulance service Miss Arzner had
her first taste Of life within film studio AL
though she still had no desire to pursue a
cinema career. In college she had studied So
GEOLOGY and medicine with the idea of following
the medical branch of sociology work.
"A girl friend Of mine literally showed me
into picture work." declares the director. "She
thought was well suited for it, so she made
an appointment for me with Cecil B. De Mile.
Then she drove me over to the Paramount
studio and dumped me out in front of the
main ofhce. There was nothing left to do but
go in although I still had no idea what
wanted to do"
When the more or less abashed young girl
entered his Office De Mile inquired, What can
do for you?"
Il want job" Dorothy replied.
Let me see your profile" said De Mile
Oh don't want to be an actress" she
fastened to assure him.
What do you want to do?" he asked
II don't know"
That closed the short interview. For the
next week Miss Arzner spent her entire time
prowl1ng around the studio, learning what she
could about the art of making pictures. 1t was
during that week that she became ambitious
to be director. She saw De Mile walking
around the lot and decided that he was the
big shot" with comfortable seat right on top
OF the world. So she went back to his Office
and told him she wanted to go to work.
DO you know yet what you want to do?"
he inquired.
Eyes. want to start at the bottom" she
replied.
What do you consider the bottom?" was his
next question.
Tipping scripts" she replied.
De Mile promised her the first opening in
the studios tipping department. and about
week later she was called to start work Then
followed jobs as script girl and finally as a
cutter.

AUTO OWNERS ARE
LIABLE IN GIVING
PASSENGERS RIDES

Due to the comment in many papers
about the liability of an auto owner
to friend who might be riding with
him when an accident occurs, and the
fact that some such cases have been
in court, the LIE Sueur Center Leader
asked the state legal department for
information. One paragraph in the
reply by j. E. Markham, deputy attor-
ney general, sums up the law in such
cases:
Our court has adopted the rule
that requires from all persons, in
Guiding those who tender gratuitious
services, reasonable care for the safe
ty of life and person"
The Leader editor asked whether re-
sponsibility might be avoided by post
ing notice that Passengers in this
vehicle ride at their own risk" In
reply Mr.. Markham quotes the State
supreme court as follows:
$50 far as the consideration of pub
lie policy is concerned, it cannot be
oyerridden by any stipulation of the
parties to the contract of passenger
carriage, since it is paramount from
its very nature. No stipulation of the
parties in disregard of it, or involving
its sacrifice in any degree, can, then,
be permitted to stand. Whether the
case be one of a passenger for hire,
mere gratuitous passenger, or a pas
senger upon conditioned free pass,
the interest of the state in the safety
of the citizen is obviously the same"
Mr.. Markham adds his personal
view that the mere possibility of ac-
cidental injury and consequent libili-
ty should not deter us from extending
to others the usual and expected
courtesies and kindnesses. Nothing
worth while is accomplished without
some personal risk" To this the edi-
tor adds that "the personal opinion of
the deputy attorney general has moth
ing to do with the technical legal
side, but intimates that there should
at least be some horse sense in some
of our laws"
With the liability plainly stated,
auto owners may be more careful
about picking up strangers. Standing
in a street or highway begging for
rides is specifically forbidden by law,
because this practice leads to many
accidents. But as long as some car
owners pick up the hitch and
'thumbers," the practice will prob
ably continue, in spite of the law.

1.-TWO Minute Talks"
MISS AUBYN CHINN


Now is the time of year when the
slightest sneeze might be taken as a.
warning of an impending cold or
FLU" DR.. A. H. Kegel, health COM
missioner Of Chicago, says that, ga
bad cold is never to be taken lightly,
nor even 'sneezed at! I"
Exactly how we catch colds is not
definitely known. However, DR.. Hen
ry Sherman of Columbia university,
and other leading authorities point out
that one of the surest ways to keep
from getting cold is to build re-
sistance in the body. Some physi-
clans have come to believe that colds
result as lack of balance in the
body. Whatever the cause, it has been
proven that reserve supply of Vita
min A in the body helps to protect
against colds and FLU" and the
drinking of fruit juices helps to break
cold once it is started.
Vitamins are substances which eX-
ist in minute quantities in the natural
foods and have been found necessary
to normal nutrition and growth. Vita
min A is found in butter, cream
cheese, whole milk and leafy, green
vegetables. 1t is very important to
include in the diet each day plenty
of those foods high in Vitamin A in
order to build up reserve for resist
ance. Fruit juices are also important
as they help preserve the balance in
the diet. With a correct diet and
plenty of sleep and exercise, the dan
ger of Catching cold" is greatly less
ened
Following are recipes for fruit
drinks and foods high in the protec-
tive Vitamin A.
Fruit Drinks.
In Europe there is a custom of serv-
ing children hot fruit drinks. Here
are one or two suggestions, although
any fruit juice may be used.
Hot Grape Juice.
Dilute grape juice with one-third
part water. Heat it. Serve with slice
of lemon or dash of cinnamon.
Cherry juice from home canned
cherries may be used in the same
way. Oranges and lemons are old
stand-bys-use them freely in winter.
1 know of home where a pitcher of
fruit juice is served on the table in
stead of water so that the family will
get plenty of this type of food.
Dreamed Eggs a la GOldenrOd.
Medium cream sauce: 1 cup milk
to 2 tablespoons flour and 2 table
spoons butter.
Hard-cooked eggs are made as fol-
lows: Put eggs into boiling water and
keep hot (not boiling) 20 minutes.
Eggs cooked this way are better than
when boiled. Allow one egg per per-
son for generous serving. Remove
shells and cut into halves lengthwise;
cut each half into four lengthwise
strips. Over piece of well-buttered
hot toast pour hot medium cream
sauce. Arrange strips of egg white
as border on individual plates. Force
the egg yoke through a fine sieve,
place in center of egg white strips,
and serve Immediately. The egg

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. StrauS)

1t would be interesting to know how
much time is wasted in the aggregate
by the people of this country. Trans
lated into terms of dollars, it would
doubtless run high into the millions
annually.
Noted throughout the world for their
energy and capacity for hard work,
Americans are nevertheless prone Of
ten to be guilty of the small vice of
hardness.
In all large business organizations
hardness among employees is one of
the constant problems confronting the
executives. A few years ago many
employers tried to enforce puntuality
among employees by a system of fines
and penalties. These plans, however,
did not seem to work out successfully
from every standpoint. They aroused
resentment among the workers which
was reflected in careleSsness, indiffer-
ence to their work, and in some cases
to absolute viciousness.
More recently large concerns have
adopted the plan of establishing honor
rolls and created bonuses for pune
tuality. The results have been salts
factory. One company in 1921 in
stalled bonus amounting to about
cents an hour paid weekly to en-
ployees who worked full time with no
lateness. The plan is said to have
resulted in 33 1-3 per cent reduction
in hardness. Another large con-
Germ pays a cash bonus of ten per
cent of one weeks salary, maximum
bonus not to exceed $500. to clerical
employees who establish a perfect
record for any thirty consecutive days.
AS result $3.50 per cent of the 5000
employees reported on time every day
last year.
Other concerns give halliday or
whole-day holidays as rewards for
perfect attendance covering various
periods.
Punctuality is an excellent example
of thrift. 1t is not difficult matter
for the average person to be on time
1t is a form of self discipline that
should be cultivated by all for it will
bring its full rewards.

HINTS ON HEALTH

GEORGE WASHINGTON, whose
birthday we celebrated February %,
died of a cold with other complica-
tions, due to exposure, on December
Is, 1899.
Exposure usually is taken to mean
exposure to low temperature, and in
this case that is what it means. Gen
eral Washington although in excel
lent health, spent a part of a day
riding about his extensive estate on
horseback, exposed to cold north
west wind, with sleet, snow, and rain.
He returned home late in the after
noon and failed to change his wet
clothing, but sat down to dinner as he
was. He became seriously ill that
night. A physician was called the
following-day, and the usual bleeding
which was a part of the treatment of
almost every sickness at that time was
performed upon him, accompanied by
heroic purging by calomel. He died
at II o'clock that night
The common cold is an inflamma-
ton of the mucous membrane of the
nose and throat or larynX. Now, this
inflammatory condition is much more
likely to occur upon going out into
a low temperature, following a long
exposure to high temperature Con-
sequently we find colds more preva-
lent in winter than in other seasons.
In a hot room the mucous men,
brane of the nasal passages becomes
swollen, red and moist. The sudden
change from high temperature to
a low one produces a congested con-
dition of the membranes, due to
sudden contraction caused by the cold.
The swollen, moist mucous men,
branes offer a favorable soil for the
development of germs of disease.
1t is believed that the immunizing
properties of the blood and the cleans
ing of the secretions of the mucous
membranes are diminished by the
cold. After the active infection has
begun there are still other harmful
influences of overheated air which
tend to keep the body from overcom-
ing the invading organisms of dis
ease. Hence it is that persons with
respiratory disease are advised to re-
main in bed in a moderately cool
room, with plenty of fresh air.
The most significant study which
has been made of colds and tempera-
ture was that of the New York State
Commission on Ventilation. In a
study of $500 school children dis
tributed in 134 classrooms it was
found that those in classrooms with
a temperature averaging slightly
above 6S degrees that there were IS
per cent excess of absences, due to
colds, and 20 per cent excess of colds
among pupils in attendance than in
classrooms with temperatures be-
tween SO and 665 degrees.
1t is believed that good ventilation,
fresh air all the time, will greatly
diminish the number of colds. When
the lost time, the discomfort, the
gradual weakening of the body and
the great economic loss which colds
are responsible for are considered, it
would seem that no effort should be
too great to undertake to prevent
them. Every person should make the
greatest possible effort to live in
healthful air.
