FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1880


Some members of organized labor
display very little interest in spending
their earnings, and it is to this lack
of interest the unorganized owe their
ability to flood the stores with nom
union products.
1t is because of this lack of interest
that trade unionists are sometimes
clothed from head to foot in the pro-
ducts of non-union shops.
Stop and consider this and give
serious thought to the facts that every
time any member of organized labor
spends any of his earnings for the
products of the non-union shop he
helps to retard our progress.
Every trade unionist must realize
that he must help the union shop and
thereby the members of organized
labor by intelligent purchasing, if we
are ever to see the fulfllment of the
vision of better day for those who
toll.
You will be surprised what rapid
strides will be made toward that goal
if when you spend money you will de-
mand the union label, shop card and
working button.
No one can impede our progress but
ourselves. Conditions will not change
until we ourselves change them. Stop
wishing and hoping for better condi-
tions and start an enthusiastic cam
paign for the union label. Wishing
amounts to nothing unless accom-
panied by firm resolution to make
the wish come true.
We shall become invincible just as
soon as we fully realize the strength
we possess in our power. Our battle
will be won when we give thought tc
the spending of our earnings.

A PARAMOUNT ISSUE

President Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, told senators
plain truth about unemployment. Au-
tomato production piled up commodi-
ties for which there was no market
because wages were too low. Also
hours of labor were too long.
Business is as dense to these truths
now as it was year ago.
Business will continue to be dense
about them until labor organizes to

AGED EMPLOYEES
FAIL TO SECURE
EMPLOYMENT

Washington n.-Debarment of old
age workers is a grim fact in Roches-
ter, N. Y, according to the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Employment office statements to
the bureau indicate that it's greatest
problem is to obtain jobs for men
and women over so years of age, who
are mentally and physically fit.
Even with an intensive and per-
sistent appeal for these people we are
able to place only small percentage

Of 370 old applicants the office was
able to place lao and then only after

employed more "out of consideration

MEXICAN IMMIGRATION

Labor men in touch with congress
express the opinion that there is little
hope congress will pass legislation at
the present session restricting MeXi-
can immigration Meanwhile, Mexican
laborers continue to pour into the
West and Southwest, depressing wage
scales and making worse unemploy-
ment, which would be serious enough
if there was not a Mexican in the
country.
The present situation knocks the
props out of the claim that Mexican
labor is needed. Representative Box,
of Texas, pointed this out in the house
the other day, in an address vividly
describing the wretched condition of
many thousands of Mexicans who
have been lured to this country by
promises of good wages and living
conditions. In many cities, Mr.. Box
said, Mexican workers are eating out
of garbage cans because of their in
ability to get jobs.
Congress goes on talking about
many things, but takes no action to
pass restrictive legislation. Nero fid-
died while Rome burned, legend says.
Congress goes Nero one better by
talking while low-wage immigrants
take the bread out of American work
mems mouths.

All nature seems TO dance on Easter
day, in harmony with the all-pervasive
spirit of JOY. And why? Because it
tells of life. Because 1t dispels the

out the universe the tidings of eternal

SWEARING OFF

should we wait for New Year day be-
fore we take the better way? I would

for swearing off. If discover in July
that I've been eating too much pie.

starts my hair to falling out, and gives

every habit that annoys, and I will
line up with the gang, and let. punk
habits all go hang" And If keep on
eating pie until the New Year I may
die. The world gets better right along
because men, finding things are wrong,
determine they will make them right at
once, before another night. They make
their VOWS, they do not wait for any
fair, time-honored date. The sprightly
drinker finds his doom and fills large
untimely tomb because he waits eight
months or nine, till all the fellows are
in line, before he makes an ironclad
pledge to touch no more the f1agon's
edge. It's easy, when the habits young,
before his nerves are all unstrung, to
cut out all the rye and gin, and on

IL months or 10, to swear off with the
other men, and by that time he is a
slave to booze, which leads him to his
grave. WALT MASON.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, January Is
(N.AN.A)-Those who have been wait
ing and wondering about Greta Carlo
may relax at last-her talking voice is
L-&gnificent.
So many letters have come to me
asking for a report on the Swedish
actress in this new art-letters that
have had to go unanswered Hearsay
has been enthusiastic, but it had come
from studio officials whose business it
was to speak glowingly of their product.
Saturday at a professional pre-view
the Carlo voice was run for these ears.
It is the sort of earthly, thrilling, deep
toned voice you would have hoped she
would possess. But her possession of it
Is but the beginning Of the story. 1t is
in her use of it that Carlo reveals her.
self an artisan artist far beyond any
of the limitations which silence i'm
posed on her. She emerged through
this new form a woman of surprising
personality, an artist with latent capa-
bilities for a far greater gamut than
the Carlo of silent films.
Talking pictures give Carlo two
things she did not have before-they
give her youth, the naive and ebullient
youth she was sometimes called upon
to play in silent films. Yet she never
convinced me when she portrayed girl
in her teens. Carlo, who is herself

only "a, always seemed to be q woman
in her thirties-mysterious, aloof, allur-
ing because of her difference.
Talkies give her play for the humor
which flashes across her face swiftly as
the shadow of birds wing in flight,
but which lightens its gravity deli
ciouSly.
The studio made an excellent choice
when it picked Eugene O'Neills Anna
Christie" as vehicle for Greta CARLOS
first audible appearance. She revealed
herself as an actress capable Of assimi-
lating the genre of old Chris Christof-
ferson's daughter without motion pic
turizing her concept. Of it. Her friend
illness with the old barge woman in the
first part Of the picture is the casual
readily upon the lips Of those reared in
sordid milieu.
Just how much Clarence Brown, the
director Of the picture, is responsible
for her complete shedding of the rou-
tine gestures of silent films I am not
in a position to know. Carlo uses her
hands but little, and then when 1t would
be the normal thing for any-even the
most stolid type-to give motion to their
thoughts. What she does tells Only
twice she iapses into the good old head
holding frenzy which characterized all
tense moments in her silent films; and
in extenuation 1t must be admitted that
they were situations to warrant head
holding.
Greta Carlo gives us an actress with
out any of the theatrical mannerisms
which have undermined the perform
anceS of most of our famous stars these
seasons past She steps out of years of
silence gracefully, leaving the inevitable
mugging which silence demands behind
her completely. A snake crawling away
from last years skin could not be more
utterly free. Had the exigencies Of
celluloid permitted the good strong Ian
guage which Anna Christie would have
used under stress, she could have
pointed up some of her scenes tellingly.
But we find such lines as II don't give
darn FAR what you think" and so on.
Carlo informs such lines with an in
tensity which lends them vitality.
Geta Carlo loses much of the mys-
terry which surrounded her as q silent
star. But this Is not the exception;
rather the rule. When we have heard
to what they really are than we can
possibly acquire by gazing upon them.
The Swedish actress as fashion man
nequin was never convincing to me-
Modernistic gowns were incongruous
upon her. The crew-neck jersey and
straight dark cloth skirt of Chris
Christofferson's daughter are ideal upon
her tall, lanky body. And in one shot
in oilskins and a sou'wester the splen-
did modelling of her face, with its hand
some bones, was never seen to better
advantage.
None of the old languorous kisses
| that were sometimes in questionable
taste. She throws more warmth Of de-
votion into the word Matt" when she
speaks of her sweetheart than any
actress I have ever heard. (She pro-
nounces it MOTIF
The picture has the advantage of an
excellent cast. Charles Bickford is
splendid, as are George Marion and
Marie Dressler. And this Is, with apol-
ogies for its lateness, an answer to those
who have written asking for news of
Greta the Great-greater by far than
In the silent medium.

Skin Must Be Healthy.

As has been stated again and again.
health is the foundation of all beauty.
Beautiful hair, shapely body. pearly
teeth all depend first upon good health
and secondly upon the external care
given them.
There can be no real beauty when
the skin Is blotchy, with enlarged pores
and blackheads and the complexion
sallow. Sometimes one is tempted to
believe that in some particular kind OF
cream turks a strange magic, and that
if the cream is applied according to
directions it won't take long before the
skin has attained that loneliness OF color
and texture which is the envy OF all.
Quite true, there are many creams and
lotions which have much to do with
beauty, but she who depends upon them
for everything Is pretty apt to be
doomed to disappointment. For, first
of all, beautiful skin is a healthy skin.
This skin health must be gained first
through wise diet. Those who persist
in eating foods too rich for their digest
i've organs to care for will suffer from
unattractive, blotchy skins, no matter
how much time and money are spent
on lotions.
The next important consideration in
keeping the skin healthy is scrupulous
cleanliness. This is impossible without
a warm cleansing bath daily. After
the bath the skin should be massagec
vigorously with coarse towel to stimu-
late circulation. But the cleansing bath
is not enough. In addition one needs
cold, stimulating bath each morning.
There is nothing better than this to
bring really healthy glow to the skin.
If the cold bath proves too strenuous,
one may substitute a brisk massage
with a coarse towel. A salt rub COM
bined with the cold, stimulating bath
is fine for the skin.
A smooth, clear complexion Is the
aim of every beauty seeker. After she
