none his qualifications were famous as stars
In despair, he turned his eyes sadly from
the profession he loved, and accepted job
as an automobile salesman.
Still reluctant to give up, he delayed three
days in reporting for work For hours he re-

think I'll take walk, " he said to his wife. 1t
was time for serious thought.
He wandered near the ocean for hours.
When he returned home, his wife said, THE
studio called, Warner. They want you there
tomorrow between ten and eleven"
When Baxter called the next day, the cast

on Monday for the leading role opposite Ethel

Again he was in quandary. If he took the

to determine the trend OF new styles,
Warner Baxter was selected as the best dressed
man in America. Jack Dempsey was second,
and George Jean Nathan third. Dempsey
defeated the dramatic critic by two votes.
Baxter was born in Columbus, Ohio,
and named after DR.. T. L. Warner, who
brought him into the world His father, an
auditor, died of influenza when Warner was
five months old.
Though it has alternately been claimed that
the actor was Spanish, Italian and French,
his ancestors, so far as known, we're Anglo
Saxons who settled in Virginia several hun
dred years ago.
When Warner was ten, his mother took him
to New York, where he attended public school,
They then moved to San Francisco, where he
was pupil at Polytechnic High School. After
the earthquake and fire made them refugees,
they returned to Ohio.
In youth he showed leaning toward the
stage He had good looks, an excellent voice
and other essentials He once played the lead
ing role in high school piece called THE
Prince of Insomnia 3" When the curtain went
down on the last act," he says, II was the
only person awake in the house"
His mother had more breeding than money.
Asa consequence, upon leaving school, Warner
secured position as office boy with firm
that manufactured farm implements. Until he
was nineteen he was general office boy and
part-time secretary.
His early business training still persists. He
is never late for an appointment.
He wears his opinions always like gentle
man, never forcing them upon others. His
impulses are always under control. He has
innate dignity and poise, an ordered attitude
and well read mind.
At twenty he became salesman for his
firm and wandered over the Middle West.
One evening in Kentucky town he entered
vaudeville theater While there he learned
that Dorothy Shoemakers partner had been
injured, and would not be able to appear. He
asked Miss Shoemaker if he might not sub
stitute for him.
Miss Shoemaker had top billing" act,
and the request of the young salesman amused
her But she gave him try-out. To her SUI :
prise he did several songs and the dance rou-
tine very well. He remained two weeks in
Louisville appearing at the theater twice
daily, and calling on merchants for his firm.
twas fall and farm implements were NOV
ing slowly. When his firm allowed him leave
of absence, he toured America with Miss
Shoemaker's act
His mother was reluctant to have him be-

come an actor When the season closed, he re-
turned to work with the farm implement firm.
Within year, large insurance company
invited him, as one of twenty young men Sc
lected from all over America, to become a
student at their Hartford Connecticut, train
ing school, with view to becoming special
insurance agent. Upon graduating he was made
assistant manager of the Philadelphia branch.
Again he settled down to the routine of busi-
ness.
He married, and saved thousand dollars.
Then he was induced to buy half interest
in a Tulsa, Oklahoma, garage. He went to
that city with his bride. This venture failed,
leaving him with enough money to return his
wife to the East. He tried to secure other
work in Tulsa None was available.
The North Brothers Stock Company was
then playing in the Oklahoma city. In des-
peration he applied at the theater for work.
He was made member of the company at
$50 week. Fearful of his mothers reaction,
he wrote her frankly of his decision. She sent
him her blessing.
Two years later, when the company dis
banded, he went to Hollywood
His money dwindled with the passing
months He was forced to do extra work until
given position with the Burbank Stock Com
pany, then playing in Los Angeles. Between
studying different roles and appearing regu-
larly on the stage, he found time to call at
different studios in Hollywood 1t was all to
no purpose.

LAST RITES HELD

DR.. Dudley Delivers Funeral
Oration-Education Board
Pays Tribute.

Final tribute was paid TO DR..
Stephen Elliott Kramer, first assistant
superintendent of schools, at funeral
services yesterday afternoon at st.
Stephens and the Incarnation Prot
estant Episcopal Church. Burial was
in Rock Greek Cemetery.
An assemblage Of friends and asso-
ciates that overfiowed the church au-
ditorium heard DR.. George Fiske Dud-
ley, the rector, deliver the funeral
grafton.
There Is nothing I can say" he de-
clared, Ito add to the love and affec-
ton the citizenry Of the District of
Columbia holds for this man. His
memory viii live in that esteem"
DR.. Dudley paid particular tribute
to DR.. Kramer's loyalty to the church
and the work he had done for 1t.
Education Boards Tribute.
Immediately before the church serv-
ices, the Board of Education met at
the Franklin Administration Building
in q special session tc pay its tribute.
Except for the Grief meeting, the
building, along with al the schools Of
the city, were closed for the day.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent,
again praised his to-mer associate
as "an outstanding public off1cer" and
said his loss is irreparable."
A committee Of Henry Gilligan,
Henry I. Quinn and DR.. J. Hayden
Johnson presented q resolution that
was adopted. 1t read, in part. as
follows:
His never-faaang courtesy and
helpfulness in ell his contacts with
this board, collectively and indi-
vidually, won for him our absolute
confidence, respect and affection.
Challenge to Self.
His constant challenge to himself,
namely: To justify ones existence one
must be Of service to others, and so a
school man must primarily be use
full and cooperative member Of the
community in which he finds himself,
was fully and nobly eXemplif1ed in his
life. A man of fine, Christian char
acter, broad culture, keen insight, vast
experience and the friendliest of dis
positions, he has been seemingly in.
dispensable in the manifold and intri-
cate problems that nave continuously
confronted the administration of the
public school system. Words fail tc
express the utter sense Of loss that
is upon US. His record as q school
man is superb. His life is the exem-
plification Of that true record sub.
timely but simply set forth by Or
Henry Van Dyke:
"'Four things a man must learn TO d.
II he would keep his record true:
To think without confusion clearly
To love his fellow man sincerely,
To act from honest motives purely.
to trust in God and heaven securely

SLIDE RELIEF AGENCIES MAKE
 BRIEF REPORT
Problems Are Discussed al Meeting What Has,
 Is Being Done

The Juneau Slide Relief Com mittee met yesterday afternoon with John Newmarket, Chairman, and M H. Sides, Secretary of the Ju- neau Chapter of the Red Cross for discussion of the joint problems of the two organizations.
 It was reported that the hospital bills of those injured had been paid to date as well as the funeral ex- penses of all those killed who left no property. In addition, funds have been provided for food, cloth ing, etc, for all those who were made destitute by the disaster of November g. The Red Cross paid some of the bills, and the Relief Committee paid the remainder.
 The $5,000 which was set aside by the National Red Cross has not been received by the local chapter; but it is still available in case of necessity. The Relief Committee received from subscriptions over $14,000 and there are still a few subscriptions which the committee expects to receive shortly.
 Funds From Outside
 Of the amount subscribed, over $500 was received from corpora tions in the States, doing business in Alaska.
 The larger part of the disburse- ments so far have been on account of pay roll of workers and trucks employed in clearing away the de- bris in search for the bodies.
 H. L. Faulkner and John New marker, the chairmen of the two committees, stated that it would be impossible to give a detailed re- port of all the expenditures until all the work has been finished, and all bills paid. There are still some of the injured under treatment at St. Ann's Hospital, and others, who lost all their possessions, who will be cared for until they are able to take care of themselves.
 Re-Enters Hospital
 August Maxi, the barber who was injured in the slide, and who was discharged from the hospital last week, was obliged, on account of his injuries, to re-enter the hos pital last night. ,t seks
 It is expected that there will be further work to do in clearing away the wreckage as soon as ,the weather permits, in order to make sure there are no more bodiess un- der the slide
