VyVydn bonner. Sne WAS llldklIlS
a living as an artist. You, probably,
have actually heard her voice. But
I mustn't get ahead of my story.
Vyvyan had no money, SO she
knew she would have to hit on an
idea that wouldn't cost much to
film. The next day she did, She
would show the difference in motors
between 1903 and 1923. Simple.
Now she hadn't anything to do
but make it! She had once met
cameraman, SO she looked him up
and told him her idea. He liked it
and said he would help make it
on a division basis. She looked
around and finally found a Cadil-
lac of the vintage of l903.-an an
cient wreck that Shimmied and
shook when it started down the
road, and emitted more noise than
a shipbuilding yard.
Her next step was to go TO a
local agent of the company and
tell him she wanted to borrow a
brand-new Cadillac for the picture.
Naturally he was interested.
Her next move was to procure
a location" She found an apple
orchard in bloom near White Plains,
a suberb of New York. Just what
she wanted.
Now her actors. OF course, she
couldn't pay them, so she asked
her friends to act, She made some
old fashioned clusters" Bought
goggles at the five-and-ten, and a
couple of false mustaches. She made
up her actors" depicting the diff
ference twenty years had made in
motoring. 1t was humorous and
amusing.
After cutting the picture, with
The help of the cameraman, she
had a picture TO sell. She sat in the
projection room while the nabobs
looked at it. and sold it to Pathe
for $500. Then she added up her
expenses and found she was only
$50 in the red. She had launched
herself in the film business for $50!
CT course you can't hold a girl
like that down. Not one with her
energy and determination. What do
you suppose she is doing now? She
makes fashion pictures for Fox
Films. You've seen them on the
screen, and you've heard her voice
describing them. She Is the only
woman director of technicolor fash
ion films in the world. Her fashion
pictures are seen each week by
about 20,000,00O people in the United
States.
She has never been in Holly
wood
Three factors are responsible for
her success. /. She got an idea. 3.
She acted on it. 8. She let nothing
stop her.
Three simple rules that you can
apply.

gress should happen to deal harshly
with the National Labor Relations
Board, this talk probably would
result in a definite program for
action.
One idea that has been ad-
vanced is that in the case of a
long, stubborn strike the secretary
of labor might appoint a special
committee to investigate and re-
port. The committee would have
no power to do anything but re-
port; the idea is that the mere
knowledge that such a report was
to be issued as a formal govern
ment document would be a pow
erful influence to bring about a
settlement, since neither side would
care to risk being held up as un-
reasonable or stubborn.

moved in. The psychologist lived
peacefully in London until his
death a few months ago. Thomas
Mann, winner of the 1929 Nobel
prize for literature, came to the
United States in April of 1887 after
he could no longer bear the cul-
tural strangulation of Naziism. He
is in the foreground today as a
leader of the underground anti
Nazi movement.
Carl Won OSsietzky was not as
lucky. He barely lived through
term in a German concentration
camp for his violent antimilitarist
writings. He died in May, 1888, in
Germany. Awarding of the 1895 No
bed peace prize to Won OSsietzky
late in 1886 infuriated the Nazi
government, was responsible for
Hitlers edict banning acceptance
of any Nobel prize by Germans.
1t is not an easy thing to bannish
culture with troops and edicts. You
can stir up the dust, but it will
settle again. The dust of Central
Europe's culture is in suspension
now, but it will not always remain
SO. Some day the air will clear, and
the pilgrims of culture will start
trekking back to their old haunts.
Herr Hitler won't be around to
stop them then.

national law expert-are believed
to be among those inferred, des-
pie their advanced years.
Once the University of Cracow
was a mecca for scholars. Now it
is closed. So are all the universities
in Czechoslovakia. Education is a
dangerous thing in Nazi dominated
territories today because it is for

At Last
For Your Cough

Even if other medicines have fail
ed you may get relief now with
CreomulSion. Chronic bronchitis can
develop if your chest cold is not
treated and you cannot afford to
take a chance with any medicine
less potent than Creomulsion which
goes right to the seat of the trouble
to help loosen and eXpel germ laden
phlegm and aid nature to soothe
and heal raw, tender, inf1amed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote by special process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding that you are to
like the way it quickly allays the
cough, permitting rest and sleep, or
you are to have your money back.
See that the name Creomulsion is on
the bottle and you will get the genu-
inc product and the relief you want.

WASHINGTON important
thing about the Chrysler auto strike
settlement, as some of the govern
ment's labor experts see it, was an
unobtrusive little provision that any
complaints by the union regarding
the speed of production schedules
are to be handled like any other
grievances.
1t was a row over an alleged
"speed-up" that started the trouble
in the first place. The union de-
manded voice in determining the
speed of operations and the manage
ment refused to grant it.
The point was left trifle vague
in the final settlement; actually,
however, leaders of the Labor De-
partment's Cancellation Service be-
lieve that formula was found by
which this thorny problem can be
handled successfully in the future.
ARBITRATION
Is PROVIDED
All that the contract says on the
matter is that the management will
try to be fair in setting production
schedules; that in case of complaint
an investigation will be made and
that if this does not bring salts
factory settlement the matter will
be handled like any other grie-
vance, with an appeal board of two
management representatives en-
powered to make final decision.
IN practice, this appeal board
would have to call in fifth per-
son satisfactory to both sides if it
could not come to any agreement;
and it is expected here that that
fifth person would probably be a
member of the Cancellation Serv-
ice,

EVERYONE LOSES,
MURPHY BOTHERED

Speaking of the ChrySler strike:
1t drew some cauStic observations
from as stout a friend of organized
labor as Attorney General Frank
Murphy, who wondered out loud
why it isn't feasible TO work out
some system whereby negotiated
settlements like the one which
ended this strike can't be reached
before the strike takes place instead
of afterward.
Mr.. Murphy made the point that
everyone lost money in this, the
longest of the auto industry's strikes.
The right to strike is still sacro-
Sanct, as far as the attorney gen.
eral is concerned, but he is giving
a good deal of thought to the idea
that it might profitably be eXer-
cised a little more judiciously.
