SCREEN GUILD HEAD.
SEES SALARY CUTS.
Place to Chop Is at Top of
Industry, Not Bottom,
He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, April 1.-THE Screen
Guild, recently organized medium for
the wedding of business and art on
profit-sharing basis, raises its standard
at a time when conditions within the
motion picture industry are none too
promising.
Yet this is the psychological moment
for its birth, declares NJ. c. Levee,
founder and head of the guild.
There are two things vitally wrong
with the picture business" he said. "One
Is the old idea of top-heavy salaries
for the top figures of the industry-the
executives, directors, writer's, stars. The
other is the overcapitalization Of its
theaters"
Mike" Levee, 4s, is direct and con-
else in speech.
Sees Salary Reduction.
He makes no secret of the fact that
he came from the cloak and suit busi-
ness in Los Angeles to pictures.
1t was to found the first commercial
studio in Hollywood with a partner
whom he later bought out. Investing
$4,000, he made million. He has been
executive manager at a major studio,
iAdo OCCh d4AA4dtC0 Win I11C V1OI4Oll
Picture Academy since its inception,
and now is its president.
"A reduction of salaries is bound to
come" he says. THE place to cut is at
the top not among the stenographers
and secretaries and office clerks The
thought among the topnotchers is not
what am worth?' but what am get
ting?' They are afraid that if once
they accept salary cut they will never
be able to work back to their old figure.
That's why We see people accustomed
to $4,000 a week remaining idle for
months rather than work for ST. 500.
How Guild Will Serve.
THAT is one way the Screen Guild
will serve. A director may be unwilling
to accept salary cut from his studio,
but he will be glad to make a picture
for the guild on profit it-sharing basis,
his salary to be determined by the
actual worth of his product"
Stars, writer's and others on the crea-
tive side of production also will share
in the returns from each film.
In overcapitalization of theaters the
Screen Guild is not directly interested.
1t will have no theaters. United Artists
will release its product.
We're in no hurry to begin produc-
tion,' Levee declares Our Office rent
and two salaries are our only overhead,
negligible one. We are not going to
make picture until We are sure it will
be good picture"

HOUSE AND HOME

A house is built of bricks and stones,
OF siils and posts and piers;
But home is built of loving deeds
That stand a thousand years.
A house, though but humble cot,
Within its walls may hold
A home of priceless beauty, rich in
Loves eternal gold.
The men of earth build houses
Halls and chambers, roofs and
domes;
But the woman of the earth
God knows!-the women build the
homes.
Eve could not stray from Paradise,
For. oh. no matter where
Her gracious presence lit the way,
Lol Paradise was there.

Easy Frosting.

Every cook resorts at times to FROST
ing made Of confectioner's sugar and
this suggestion may be new to some.
Set a bowl in hot, not boiling. water.
Melt in It four tablespoons Of butter.
Blend with the butter two cups Of
powdered sugar. If a chocolate icing
is desired use ground chocolate or
cocoa and vanilla flavoring. Add
slowly canned milk in full strength to
the right consistency for easy spread
ing. Beat hard for few minutes be-
fore putting on cake. Keep the bowl
in hot water at all times. If this
frosting is used for a cake that is not
entirely cooled 1t is particularly de-
licious, as it will be firm on the sur
face and rather soft underneath. This
has limitless possibilities as to flavor
ing. It is particularly good using
orange juice and grated rind in place
of the milk.
Care should be taken to keep the
temperature of the water under the
bowl below boiling. Boiling water will
cause the starch in the sugar to cook
and form hard particles.

FEATURE PAGE FOR ISLAND HOUSEWIVES
Neckties May Be
Easily Salvased

Frugal housewives can salvage many
discarded necktie by using correct
methods for cleaning and pressing the
tie ut home, according TO Lois Holder
baum, State College extension cloth
Ing specialist. Even neckties that are
badly soiled and wrinkled can be made
to look almost new. The flat, pressed
look which characterizes so many re-
noyated neckties can be avoided by
using the right equipment
Neckties are cleaned by dipping
them In cleaning solvent, The SOL
vent can be purchased at almost any
filling station and should not be con-
fused with naptha, a much more in
flamable substance. If the tie con-
tains food spots which do not come
out, a pad Of cloth may be slipped in
side the tie and the spot sponged with
warm water. The place should be
biotted dry with a towel as quickly as
possible to avoid the appearance Of a
ring. After being dipped in the SOL
vent again the necktie should be
thoroughly dried, preferably outdoors.
To avoid a fiat, pressed look, a
necktie board should be added to the
regular pressing equipment. A neck
tie board can most easily be fashioned
from thin piece OF board. The board
should be whitfield and tapered so
that it will easily slip inside the ties,
the narrow end passing up to the mar
row part Of the necktie Allowance
should be made for two thicknesses
OF cotton flannel which must be used
as padding to cover the necktie
board.
The finish on many ties is marred
by applying the pressing iron directly
to the tie. After the tie board has
been inserted, the necktie should be
pressed with the use of dry cloth
between the iron and the tie. If the
tie is badly wrinkled, sponge with a
damp cloth and press with dry cloth

Traditions

Starved indeed is the child reared
without certain family traditions. One
of the severest criticisms of the
modern age is that in the speed and
ease OF our lives we fail to observe
those customs which are the inherent
right of childhood.
Many of the customs of our child
hood had their origin, where? We did
not know nor care. For instance, in
the days of our childhood, why did SO
many families have oyster stew for
dinner the evening before Christmas?
Coming from the Middle West we be-
lieve that we are safe in saying that
nine out Of ten families of our ac-
craftsmanship had oyster stew for
dinner on Christmas Eve. Recently,
in half dozen short stories, depicting
life in various surroundings, there
have been references made to oyster
stew on Christmas Eve. Showing that
the custom was not confined to the
Middle West?
Those of us fortunate enough to
have Scotch grandmother can still
recall with delight the shortbread that
was feature Of the holidays. Since
the Scotch place much more signifi-
canoe on New Years than on Christ
mas the shortbread was primarily for
New Years, but what grandmother
could resist the pleading of small
youngsters? Anyway, our grandmother
always allowed us just taste of the
delicacy on Christmas Day. Her
shortbread cakes were small, scalloped
square ones. plentifully sprinkled with
vari-colored candied carroway seeds.
And were they good? Even our
mother could not evolve the superior
brand of shortbread that grandmother
could.
Thus each family has its own set of
traditions. binding the members fast,
if the home life is at all happy,
through the long years to come Ours
is rural community, in which we are
dependent in a large measure on our
own resources. And in such rural
community thrive those traditions
that live down through our own lives
and live yet again in the homes and
hearts of our children and their
babe.

Christmas Giving
May Cost Little

One Of the dangerous phases OF the
orgy OF economy attendant upon the
present state of affairs Is that we may
be tempted to forego the fun Of
Christmas giving. True. few of us
can afford such gifts as We have In
dulged in in past years, but 1t would
be unfortunate II We denied ourselves
the fun OF giving gifts just because we
have had temporary reverses.
Our wealth Of green's, such as holly,
huckleberry, salal, ferns, ETC., make
the remembrance to the friend back
East a very simple matter. It is al
most touching the manner in which
people in other parts OF the nation
welcome a box Of greens from the
Northwest. Practically the only cost
is the postage on the parcel.

BY MARIE DE l.. KENNEDY.

T was in Washington that Louisa May Al
colt, whose century of birth occurs this
4 Fall, wrote the prose sketches which were
4 her first real success in the field of letters
4 and the poem which has been called her
masterpiece Once friend congratulating
this writer upon her sudden rise to fame re-
ferred POLITICALLY to the shining ladder" by
which she had climbed. With an incorrigible
twinkle in her keen hazel eyes, Miss Alcott said:
But it wasn't ladder. 1t was Georgetown
hill
While at the Union Hotel Hospital in George
town, as a volunteer Army nurse during the
Civil War she composed the two manuscripts
which she herself designated as her "good-luck
pennies" They are Hospital Sketches" re-
cast from letters written home during her Army
experience, and the poem ''Thoreau's Flute"
The lifting lines of the latter were woven by
her active brain as she sat on night duty at
a wounded soldiers side. OF her hospital life,
she said: II was never Ill before I went to
the front, with a mans heart beating courage
ously under my despised bib and tucker, and
was never well afterward but no period Of my
life left richer impressions. The suffering
around me made me long to comfort every
one"
Hospital Sketches" upon its publication in
1863 won for its author immediate popularity,
as well as the attention and praise of literary
men of distinguished ability. "Thoreau's Flute"
was accepted by Fields, the celebrated editor of
The Atlantic and had the honor of being at
tributed to Emerson, because of its mastery
touch by no less an authority than the poet
Longfellow. Thus it was, Miss Alcott de-
scribes it in her own ininitable way, that "the
plain gray goose began to lay golden eggs"
Hospital Sketches in the gay binding
characteristic of the period of publication, 1868,
is carefully preserved among the treasures OF
the rare-book division of the Library Of Con-
gress, Washington, d. c. It is believed to be
the only copy of the original output that can
be definitely located.
In the sketches, under the name Of Nurse
Tribulation Periwinkle Miss Alcott gives
vivid description of her first impressions of the
National Capital.
"It was dark when we arrived. Though I'd
often been told that Washington was spacious,
its visible magnitude quite took my breath away
and, of course, quoted Randolph's expression,
a city Of magnificent distances, as I suppose
every one does when they see it. The
