NEW YORK, Dec l0.-The immi-

Ii, militant Chinese student worker,
after raiding his room and lodged
him on Ellis Island. He is charged
with being member of an organ
ization advocating the overthrow of
the government by force and Wo-

$4,000 bail, bail so unusually high
that the International Labor. De-
Tense, the organization defending Lii,
states, This is the beginning of the
threatened and intensified drive
against all foreign born workers who
show the least resistance to the boss
class"
The drive against foreign born
workers has taken on speed during
the last month and many have been
arrested as part of the drive carried
on by the Department of Labor.

prevailing in the building trades.
ifespeed-fff az'oo,loH z zz
The building trades workers, who
have previously thought of them
selves as aristocrsts. are completely
terrorized and endure all sorts of
abuses in working conditions.
Where ordinarily a special gang of
workers would be used to go over the
building putting up guards and safety
arrangements, today there is no
such gang, and if the worker on a
job wants any safety arrangements,
he is supposed to fix it himself--but
rarely does So,t as he is speeded to
death by the "pushersa and has no
time.
The worker killed Tuesday is not
the first by any means to fallto death
as a result OF lack of safety ar
rangements. Five months ago a
carpenter fell 80 stories, crushing his
head las flat as pie" Besides the
other DEATHS said to run as high as
forty men, over hundred have been
seriously injured, crippled for life.
Carpenters. iron workers, laborers
and men of nearly all trades have
been killed.
AS is seen, while it is a union
job, the workers are lot projected by
the A. F. of l.. union" Their only
hope of defending their conditions
lies in their getting in touch with

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

Special Dispatch to The Star
HOLLYOOWD, Calf, February
(N.A.N.A,).-When Reginald Dandy
came to the Coast with a play which
had a brief life he stepped into rare
cycle of luck.
John Mccormack saw the young man
and persuaded his studio to give him
the romantic lead in his forthcoming
picture. The young man chose the
name John Garrick, because his own
title sounded too much like that of
Reginald Denny.
Unknown to the American play mart,
Dandy, or Garrick, is popular in London
and has done a tour of Australia In
musical comedy. John Mccormack does
not bestow the accolade Of his approval
upon many. The very fact that he has
signified his interest in this young
mans voice and histrionic ability should
be fair prophecy that once again q win
ner has been unearthed.
So quickly does the contagion of sue
cess spread in this village, he was at
once in demand for the male lead in
the Hammerstein-F riml musical pic
ture, which win be one of the big musi-
cal ventures of the season.
One feature of it will be a chorus Of
70 voices. Symphony orchestras are be-
ulS ulLFOuuCcu AlOO several OF our new
musical pictures. Hollywood has gone
in for the song-and- dance thing in a
tremendous way. More money is being
spent on this type of entertainment than
any other being made in the village at
the present time.
There is much difference of opinion
among producers and directors as to
whether pictures made along realistic
lines or those following operetta tech
niQue will be the most successful.
Naturally sponsors Of operetta tech
nique come from the stage producing
ranks. They believe in the impressive

Police Regulations.

The Turkish police lord 1t over
everybody, including the army. Their
exactions are ridiculous, but they must
be needed. An exasperating point
about their formalitieS is that they are
usually absolutely worthless. They have
not the intelligence to make use of the
records which they insist upon making
with punctiliousness. You cannot trave!

more complicated than anywhere else

intrusted to their execution are not
nearly as intelligent as their counter
parts In other countries. The conSe-
quence Is that they make nonsense Of

Perspiring Hands.

DEAR MISS LEEDS-My hands per-
spire very freely and ruin my kid gloves.
Would powdering the hands first do
any good? ~ 1 have very thin legs;
is there any way that I can acquire
more shapely ones? ANN c.
Answer.-Many people in perfect
health suffer from perspiration of the
hands, In other cases the condition
may be due to some nervous trouble,
anemia or other state of Ill health.
The best method in the latter case is
to give attention to the cause of the
trouble. For the former case, one of
the best methods is to see that the
gloves are not too tight and to apply
a suitable lotion after washing the hands
and use a good powder to dust inside
the gloves before wearing them. The
following lotion applied night and
morning will be found useful: Six drains
cologne water, l dram tannin, 4 ounces
witch hazel, 2 ounces alcohol. A good
powder to dust inside the gloves may
be made as follows: Two ounces boracic
acid, ounces orriS root, 2 ounces
French chalk, l ounce powdered alum.
Mix we'll and place in talcum powder
box with perforated top. Shake on
hands and in gloves light busting of
the powder.
~ If you are underweight you need
to build up your weight to normal be-
fore you can expect to have graceful,
well developed, shapely legs. Some peo-
pie hove naturally very small bones,
however, and while the muscles and
flesh may be acquired. it is impossible
to make the bones larger. shall be
pleased to mail you my leaflet on how
to gain weight and exercises for devel-
oping shapely legs If you will write and
inclose a self-addressed. stamped en-
velope for mailing. Dancing, swimming,
tennis and hiking are all splendid eX-
ercises for this purpose, also.
LOIS LEEDS.
Double Chin.
Dear Miss Leeds-Will you please re-
peat your treatment for reducing dou-
BILE chin, and also advise me whether
there is a device on the market that
can be worn while sleeping and If you
think it Is more satisfactory than ex-
ercising and massaging. ALICE B.
Answer-Poor posture is responsible
for a great many double chinS. A
slouching posture with rounded Shout
ders, neck thrust forward and chin
lowered when sitting, standing or
walking, will cause an ungainly fullness
under the lower jaw. Correct posture,
massage and exercise are necessary to
overcome this defect. Exercises that
bring the neck and throat muscles into
play should not be neglected by any
one who wants to avoid a double chin
and flabby throat. Practice the habit
of correct posture when sitting, stand
ing or walking. Sit or stand erect and
slowly lower the head backward be-
tween the shoulder blades and rotate
the head from side to side, backward
and forward. Repeat several times.
An astringent pack is helpful also.
To prepare the pack, cleanse the skin
