MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. January "a
Hollywood has gone to the dogs. Where
yesterday our people went in for fancy
automobiles, weird clothes and quaint
social customs. today they have added
multitudinous types and colors Of pups
to the lists.
Stars come to luncheon dragging
topaz-eyed Schnauzers in their wake.
Sit down carelessly in movies dress
ing room and you'll probably flatten out
$4,000 Pekingese. Everybody gave
everybody else dog or dogs for Christ
mas, so the housing problem has be-
come seriously complicated.
And the studios! When leading men
ana temperamental leading ladies arrive
at the studio gate with several bow
vows in their train there is bound to be
trouble ahead. Try to tell the artists
their pets have to be left home. imme-
ditely they become indispensable.
Hence the installation of numerous
studio checking rooms for dogs. Billy
Haines drags a toy bulldog about with
him wherever he goes. Van Dykes big
Irish setter occupies a large part of the
space In one studio check room. Jo-
sephine Dunn just won't be separated
from her Scotty terrier. George K.
Arthur is another Scotty enthusiast who
likes his pal close at hand. Lew Cody
travels about with an English bulldog
at heel, and Karl Dane is Swallowed by
an enormous German police hound.
Marion Davies. it seems. bought dogs
and pups as freely as Christmas cards
and passed them around among her
friends. They were patrician doggies,

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO


The most obvious reason why we
don't make a will is that We have
nothing to leave.
This is not strictly true, because
every one has something; some, of
course, lot more than others. A great
many people nevertheless do not care to
go to the bother of drawing up a will
unless they have considerable estate
and definite ideas as to what should be
done with it.
Some people are superstitious about
making wills They think that they
will die Immediately after the will is
drawn. Others fear foul play at the
hands of those who are to benefit by
their death.
Some fail to make their wills because
they are afraid that their directions
will not be carried out. Others prefer
to let the common law settle affairs;
still others have an understanding with
the rightful heirs.
A will is rendered unnecessary when
the property is divided beforehand, as
Is sometimes done to avoid an inherit
ance tax.
Some avoid the issue because they
imagine that making a will is a trou-
blesome affair, involving the services Of
lawyer, etc.
The great majority of us do not make
our wills because we do not care to
bother or because we think there is no
hurry.
Some few misery souls cannot bring
themselves actually to give away what

BEAUTY CHATS
Meatless Diet.

II you are having attacks of pimples,
or any Of the other form@ of auto
intoxication causing different disorders
In the system. try meatless diet for
a week or more. You may even extend
1t for a much longer period when you
see what an improvement you will
make in your condition If you are
suffering from any kind of blood trou-
BILE. you will find a meatless diet of
great benefit. 1t is even possible to re-
duce on it or gain in weight, dependent
upon what foods you substitute for it,
II YOU need to reduce. carry out a
vegetable diet, but be sparing with the
Starchiest of these. Take milk, or have
some of your vegetables prepared with
creamed sauces. Fish can be substi-
tuted for the meat, or oysters and
CLAIMS. and after you begin to return to
the usual diet. add chicken or other
fowl that are not fattening.
II you wish to gain weight and also
benefit from the dieting, substitute
nuts, cream, butter. and cheese for the
meat. There are many nourishing COM
blnationS that will build up weight and
be less taxing than the usual meat diet.
Some OF these are spaghetti made with
cheese and milk, cheese omelets and
cheese souffleS. Rice croquettes, Ital-
ian gnocchi, and mushrooms prepared
with rich sauces from cream and but
ter. One of the latter dishes is made
from mushrooms and troubles cut fine,
cooked in butter, and served with a
thickened sauce of cream and egg. This
is highly nutritive and easily assimilat-
ed. A combination like this would be
a substitute for meat and make the
latter unnecessary even If there was no
intention of dieting.
The benefit from this change in diet
will be enormous, although there is no
reason for going on with it after the
system is again in good working order

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLs.

Would you change your personality
in one or more respects? If so, how
would you go about it?
First get the fundamentals of per-
sonality straight. Then perhaps you
may make out Of yourself approximately
what you like.
The "headhunters" who go about the
country telling people what they are in
terms of measurements and bumps are
all wrong. The same can be put down
for the handwriting experts and the
vocational testers. Also throw into the
scrap heap the other psychological
charlatans who talk about mysterious
force which any one may release II
only he takes their lessons and reads
their books. All these things are alb
solutely groundless. false and of no
avail.
Your personality is a gradual accu-
mutation of habits. You have been
gathering them up ever since you began
adjusting yourself to your surroundings.
Little by little you have selected out
of the many possible ways of respond
ing to situations the ones that give
the results most satisfying to you. AS
you 60 along you make minor changes,
depending on the general demands of
environment and the general influence
of others whom you initiate. These
habits are linked together, SO that they
might be regarded as character trends
Trace them back to their beginning and
you will find that they started in early
childhood.
Perhaps you will find slight change
in the trend at 10, Is, 20. 25 and 80.
After that these habit trends or pat
terms harden into real personality traits
Now to change your personality, you
must start as early as possible to change
the habit patterns that are becoming
fixed. What you can do about it de-
ponds on when you start, what sort of
habits you select and how persistently
chosen traits.
Yes, it can be done. Those who are
easily fatigued will not make much
Roadway. If you are lazy, there's not
much hope for you.

I. L. D. officials declare that
they will nevertheless stand on
their right to have the envelopes
sent through the mail, will con-
tinue to mail them and will start
court proceedings against the
postal authorities.
The National Office of the Inter

intensifying efforts to raise funds
The appeal, which is signed by Carl

states:
"The federal government has
joined with the state government of
North Carolina in conspiracy to
send Is working men and women
members of the National Textile

SEAMEN PLEDGE.
AID TO GAST0NIA
STRIKE VICTIMS
To Report on Frameup
in World Ports

Over 700 seamen pledged them
selves to carry the story of the
Gastonia murder frame-up to all the
ports of the world last night at the
open-air mass meeting called by the
Marine Workers League at the foot
of Whitehall st. In resolution
unanimously accepted the marine
workers called the frame-up one of
the most outrageous in American
labor history and hailed the militant
struggle of the newly
workers of the South gainst the tex
tile barons.
j. R. Pittman, the first of the
Gastonia strikers to be arrested on
the charge of murder, told of the
terrible conditions under which the
workers live and work. When
heckled by half-drunk soldier,
Pittman revealed that he had been
soldier in the American forces in
Russia. There he saw Tor himself
that the Russian workers were fight
ing for real freedom and that the
slogans of the American bourgeoisie
had been lies. He had more expert
ence with bourgeois patriotism when
he came back to Gastonia and was
allowed to walk the streets for
months without job. in spite of
the fact that when he enlisted he
was promised his old job back again.
Police Choke Women.
Pittman told of the brutality of
the police from the very beginning
of the strike. At one time when
police met Vera Busch and old Mrs.
Howard, who was not even striker,
they choked Busch until she was half
dead and struck and knocked down
the old lady.
J. L. Brewer, another striker from
Gastonia, told the story of the raids,
first on the headquarters, then on
the tent colony.
Political Struggle.
Wells, an organizer of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, told
how what had started as fight for
economic demands was turned into
a political struggle with the bring
ing in Of troops and machine guns.
He told how the propaganda of the
strikers calling on the soldiers not
to fire on their brother workers was
so effective that the troops were
withdrawn and an out-of-town divi-
sion brought in. He pointed out the
different functions of the Workers
International Relief, which is sup
plying food and clothing and the tent
