Girls Must Give And
 Take, Says MGMStar
ROsalnd Russell in Latest Role Closely lnterprets Her
 Altitude on WOmen's New Responsibilities

Hollywood, Sept. 20-A girl has to give and take, nowadays ..
 And the girl, says Rosalind Rus sell, who hasn't learned this fact, can be counted on for 70 per cent of the nations broken homes. ..
 For divorces. -.
 For a generation of children robbed of complete prental care and love. =.
 For a new attitude in men which has cost women dearly in male re- spect. ..
 For government figures showing an alarming total of American spinsters!
 "A girl" Rosalind Russell con- tinued soberly, "has to give up a great many things to get man. And that homely phrase - get a man'-menas: get a family, get a home, get a new status - and keep it!
 "She has to give up her possessive instincts. She has to fit her time to a mans needs. She has to fit her moods to his moods.
 "She must not be languorous, nor captious. The day of the spoiled child is over and it's time the spoiled children realized it."
 The day of 50-50 between men and women is very definitely here, Miss Russell believes. There were rumors of the day, for a long time. There were newspaper stories ga- lore. containing accounts of women's emancipation and new responsibili- ties - and they all read just like pretty stories.
 "Straws," says Miss Russell, tell a story. When I pick up a story and the opening pages describe the heroine as an old-fashioned girl of the take variety-I know without reading any further what the end is going to be. .-
 "The girl, in the end, is going to learn a painful lesson or some other girl is going to come along and get her man.
 And you can be very, very sure that such stories follow the prevail ing trend and beliefs of the people for whom they are written.
 "A few years ago people didn't think that way. The same take girl in pre-depression story, would almost be glorified. Every thing would turn out all right for her. And the peoples attitude changed and the stories have changed with them. Stories, in mat ters like this, are the surest indices in the world"
 Currently cast opposite Robert Montgomery in the role of an ar- lists wife in Metro-G Goldwyn May CTS Live, Love and Learn" Miss Russell plays a character which probably comes nearer to interpret ing her attitude on women's new responsibilities, than any of her many vehicles, she says.

These Girls Tend to Their Spinning
 to Put Real Kick In Film Dancing
Ballet Stars Don't Need Mirrors to Produce
 Their Illusions
BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff COrresnOndent

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Hollywood. = Taikletown chorus girls have learned by this time, through observation, that theirs is by no means the toughest job in show business. That dubious honor goes to the agile, hard-muscled youngsters who toll, and also spin, in woollen tights and ballet shoes.
 A real ballet group never be- fore has worked in the movies be- cause the prevailing idea of chore- ography has followed the Busby Berkeley formula - maSsed cuties their numbers sometimes multiplied by mirrors, shuffling through 'rou- tine tap steps. Occasionally Harriet Hector has come out here to con- tribute come spirited g-'rations to a spectacular speciality.
 If you question almost any Holly wood chorus girl about her talents she will say thtat she can do prac- tically anything-tap, ballet, ball. room, acrobatic, folk and adagio dancing. .
 But by ballet she means that she can get into tulle skirt and
 stand on her toes long enough to
 have her picture taken.
 For the 'Follies,' Samuel Gold wyn hired a group from the Amer ican ballet-12 girls, six men and their director, George Balanchine. They may do three numbers, but probably only two, in the picture, yet they have been here in reher- sal several weeks. ....
 They have there own seperate building on the United Artists lot, and there they have labored from a little past dawn until dusk.
 Always In Training
 During actual shooting, the ball. erinas must report at the studio for makeup at 6 a. m. That means rising at 5. They must be limbered up and on the set ready to work at g, and they. stay there until 6 p. m. or later if the director happens to be extra poppy. Those who happen to be extra pretty, is in the case of Heidi Vosseler, have extra chores to do for the still cameras.
 They never can relax their train ing. A dancer must practice at least an hour and a half even on Sum day or a holiday. If she were to be idle for a week she would have to stretch and kick for two weeks to make up for it.
 Tn heavy black tights, which are hot and expensive and by no means pretty, keep leg muscles warm and supple. A few of the girls are devel- oping formidable bulges, but nothing like the men, most of whom are muscle-bound.
 A ballerina has one advantage over most women in Hollywood she can eat all she likes, and any thing. But she has to sleep, too, and that means no night clubs. '
 The American Ballet may prance at the Metropolitan or on other dis tinguished stages, but its members really don't get about much for their own amusement.
 They Have To Be Good
 You wonder why is ballerina, anyway. Well, they like the life, for one thing, and they practically were born to it. At least, every member

 "But you could give too much" i" says Miss Russell. There's always that, of course. It depends very largely on the person.
 But divorces aren't caused by this complaint. Homes aren't broken up by too much cooperation. Chil- dren do not generally lose one or both parents because a woman fits her moods to her husbands.

A study of the index numbers of
Wholesale Prices of Commodities issued
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor shows
the following, taking the price in 1926
as 100:
The price for all commodities had fallen
in July 1929 to 96.5. On that same
date (July 1920 the price of petroleum
products had fallen to 1876. The low
point for all commodities was February
1888. when 1t had fallen to 1913, at
which time petroleum products fell to
34.S. The low point for petroleum pro-
ducts, however, was 30.3 in July 1881
There has been a steady rise to Oc-
tober 1885, at which time the index for
all commodities reached S1.5, but the
index for petroleum products lags far
behind. remaining at 57.9.
Thus far the price of petroleum pro-
ducts is tagging approximately "a points
behind the price of ''all commodities"
However the equipment and supplies
needed and used by the oil industry have
risen in price. Iron and steel products
have risen to S8.S, an 1919 increase
from their low of 1872. And the price
of other supplies and equipment is
steadily increasing
Also, because of the increase in the
cost of food. clothes and living expenses,
the producers have steadily increased the
price paid to their labor, and steps are
being taken to grant additional icreases.
These increases in cost increase the
cost of prodution of crude oil. They
form, we believe, a sound eonomdc reason
why the price of crude oil should advance
There never has been in California or
elsewhere in the United States since the
development of the automobile, greater
need for new fields and new reserves.
1t is essential to the economic and social
well being of the public that the oil pro-
ducers produce a steady and dependable
supply of crude oil at fair price. The
cost Of the search for new fields is haz-
ardous and expensive. Validating cam
not be carried on unless the price OF oil
provides sufficient funds to justify the
expenditure. 1t is therefore essential to
the public that the price of oil be in
creased.
The independent producers in California
and elsewhere, laboring under a tre-
mendous burden of taxes, paying higher
and yet higher prices for their labor and
materials, acting independently of all
other branches of the industry and con-
scious of their duty to produce a depend
able supply of crude petroleum for the
ultimate consumer, and conscious that
the flow of commerce will ease If that
oil is not discovered and produced. should
have the right to ask for an increase in
the price of crude oil, and should have

faulted anticline are its large area
for the accumulation of oil, its
good apparent closure, the large
number of possible oil sands, and
the presence of faults, which may
have induced the accumulation OF
oil by permitting the escape OF gas

gas and oil toward the faults. The
adverse features are the lack Of

in blocking the monoclinal dip, and
the presence of water in the test OF

President, American Petroleum Institute
The petroleum industry enters 1887
with its house in good order. 1t has
expectation of a growing demand for
petroleum products, and offers every as
surance that the progress made in 1886
in establishing industrial stability, scien-
tific research, and improved service to the
public will continue.
Preliminary reports for 1886 indicate
that United States production of crude
oil, refinery runs to stills, and motor fuel
consumption reached new highs. Crude.
oil output is estimated at 1902. 600, 600
barrels, or eight per cent above 1895,
and slightly above the previous record
output of 1929. Increased demand for
refined products, particularly motor fuels
and lubricants, lifted to an estimated
1 ,O63, ,00O, 900 barrels the total quantity
of crude oil run to refinery stills. This
total is some 100 100000 barrels above
1885, and 17.7 per cent above the pre-
viOus high of 1929.
Total domestic consumption of motor
fuel is estimated at 20.118 900 900 bar
rels or 10 per cent above the 1885 peak.
This should be a boon to depleted gov
ernmental treasures, which through re-
tail sales taxes on gasoline, now aver
aging nearly 40 per cent, derive the
largest financial benefit from the produc-
tion and consumption of this commodity.

products. coupled with orderly produc-
ton under cooperation between the in
dustry and the Interstate Oil Compact
authorities, served to liquidate crude oil
inventories to a satisfactory extent.
Satisfactory progress is being made by
the industry in assuring continuance of
its ability to meet growing demand. New
discoveries in 1886 were sufficient TO Off
set depletion. Application of improved
technique to drilling and development
operations minimized physical waste and
supplemented the helpful work of the
Interstate Compact Commission Prac-
tical conservation of petroleum resources
further was promoted by substantial i'm
provement in refining efficiency so that
a consistently larger quantity of refined
products of better quality is being obtain
ed from a smaller quantity of crude.
There is no longer any doubt that the
industry's investment of more than $1O,-
100000 annually in research is paying
substantial dividends i'm conservation, i'm
proved products, and reasonable prices.
The technologists have demonstrated their
ability to expand reserves by improving
