Rifle Fired At
Film Magnates

HOLLYWOOD, April IL. up
The motive behind the firing OF a
rifle into the windshield of an au-
tomobile carrying Ernst Lubitsch
and Lothar Mendes, prominent film
directors, remained mystery on
police reports today.
The rifle bullet struck the ma
chine in which the film men were
riding from Palm Springs, just as
the ear passed a speeding truck.
Shatter proof glass which held up
under the impact of the slug, saved
the men from injury.
Police believe the gun may have
been fired by rum runners in the
truck, which Lubitsch and Mendes
were unable to overtakc after stop
ping to investigate the damage done
by the bullet.
Because no harm had beal done,
I the men waited until their arrival in
Hollywood to report the shooting.

NOW
FOR THE
DIRTY WORK

said the clever housewife, as she
opened the package of White
King Granulated Soap. And
presto!--before she knew it. the
washing was finished.
White King is the quickest
and safest soap made-not only
for family washing, but for lin
gerie, shampooing, dishes, and
every household need. Ii cleanses
thoroughly but gently. If water
won't hurt il, White King won't.
It's economical too. Because
it's condensed, little goes long
way. A teaspoonful in the basin
of water, a cupful in the tub
and instantly you have a rich,
creamy lather that's simply death
on dirt! Your grocer has it.

HIGH SALARIED
STARS OF FILMS
THING OF PAS!
Advent Of Talking Pic
lures Causes Slashing
OF Contracts
By GEORGE H. BEALE
United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, April II. W.R-
In the rush and confusion that ac-
companied the introduction of talk
ing pictures, screen producers sue
ceeded pretty generally in knocking
The top prices from the salaries Of
favorite stars.
The reduced income move was a
quiet one and it did not affect such
persons as Douglas Fairbanks, Mary
Pickford, Charlie Chaplin a n d
Harold Lloyd, for they have long
produced their own pictures.
But the public has missed many
a familiar face and in quite few
cases it hasn't been a poor talking
voice that has caused the temporary
or permanent retirement of n play
er.
Colleen Moore, once one of the
greatest of box office attractions
hasn't made a picture in more than
six months. The trouble that led
to the recent separation from her
husband. John Mccormick, NAV
have had something to do with it,
Int most important YVES the $l2, 900
a week salary she drew during the
last productions with First National.
Except in very rare cases, salar-
los of that size aren't being paid
anv more and though practically ev-
erv nrodrcer in the colony would
he glad 10 star Colleen, none feel
Htc "laring her on the payroll at
the figure TO which she is accustom-
ed.
Tom Mix, Of course, parted com
7any with Fox studios many months
ago.
He once was reputed to be draw
the highest of all salaries, SO, ,00C
a week. Fox decided that was toe
much and excepting a special oc
casion now and then $4,000 is TOP
on the Fox lot at present.
Many Let Out
Universal announced that it part
ed sorrowfully from Laura Ii
Plante. The studio said the separa
, tion was for the mutual advantage
of the parties concerned. 1t wa'
I known, however. that the salary de
mands of Miss La Plante had more
than anything else to do with the
| break.
Adolphe Meniou, Richard Dix an(
Bebe Daniels all left Paramount
when that studio declined to tak'
up options that meant more money
to the stars. Dix and Miss Danieli
went to work for RKO at highei
wages while Meniou went to France
to make a picture.
1t was his high salary that caused
Reginald Denny's departure from
Universal and the same condition
was reported when Jack Mulhal
left First National and Florencl
Vidor departed from Paramount.
Miss Moore and all the other
probably will make many more pic
lures but right now it looks as j
they will have to get used TO work
ing for less money. The producer
apnarentlv handed out iokers whel
the public was too interested in tn
new talking Developments to deter
mine what was happening to som
of the old favorites.

That many hospitals throughout
the country now depend upon the
institutions which maintain training
schools TO keep them supplied with
nurses. was pointed out by Judge w.
c. Hungerford Who delivered the
principal address of the evening.
Judge H4ngertord said, in part:
"There was time when a nurse
va3 considered a sort of goddess OF
mercy. who sits with her cool hand
upon the fevered brow of the pa
ticnt. But that was the sentimental
idea, and has passed. Then came
the natural-born nurse, who. with
out training, instantly knew the
proper approach and method of
meeting every emergency That also
has been thrown into the discard

Opportunities for Growth
THE opportunities for profession
al growth in both public health and
institutional work are greater than
in private duty nursing. The insri-
tutional nurse has the advantage OF
close contact with medical men,
rho are growing in their own pro-
fCssion, She meets ever changing
problems and opportunity to devel-
o2 new nursing technique. The
amount of money she earns bears
a definite relation to her increased
value as a nurse. BY the institu-
tional nurse I refer particularly to
the one who, after graduation, has
| taken a post graduate course in one
