A Few Musts
ForAma+eur
Speakers
BY DONNA GRACE

WITH NEW activities outside
the -hnme,-eHe- may at any time
find il necessary 10 address a
group. Home women are taking
their place as speakers and are
doing very well. Many of them
have never in their lives faced
an audience, but after the first
talk. they carry on as well as
professionals.
Here are some of the musts
followed by all professional
speakers. First. know the SUBJ
ject. A professional speaker will
never talk publicly on any SUBJ
ject with which he is not ia
miliar.
II takes time and study TO
prepare a good paper, but until
this is done, one is not ready to
speak.

Read n Over

Good speakers do not make a
special effort TO memorize word
for word. The rule is to read 1t
aloud at least 18 times. then you
are familiar not only with the
subject but also know where to
stress certain points.
first sentence must be
compelling. II must Immediately
hold the interest of the audi
ence. Failure 10 do this may
ruin the whole delivery. The
first and last sentence must be
closely related. and this means
one must think OF the subject
and not details.
Know everything you can dis
cover of the subject, find the
shortest and most convincing
way to tell il and that is all.
II is often permissible, even
necessary TO introduce some COM
parsons TO bring home the point.
When this can be done with a
fine bit of humor. il will be
pleasing. but one should be very
wary of too much so-ealled
humor and funny stories, this
type of speaking should be left
for the seasoned professionals.
Watch Your Posture
Posture is important. Stand
tall but don't assume a knOW-it-
all air Drop arms 10 the sides
and never tumble with jewelry,
glasses or belt.
Be sure to smile and act as if
you liked the audience. They
will respond in the same manner.
Don't look out over the heads
OF the audience. don't fix eyes on
any one person but look at them
as a group. Never walk up and
down, as this style of delivery
went out when the mike came
in. Know your spot on the stage
and never step backward after
beginning to speak, for this
movement tells the audience you
have finished. One may step
slightly forward. but be. very
stingy about movements.
Enunciate every word dis
tinctly, don't hem and waste
time, but don't be too hurried
either.
Don't worry too much about
when TO breath. Breath easily.
make your sentences fairly short
and you will have breath to
spare.
Never mind about gestures. If
used let them be from the shout
der, not from the elbows. You
will speak well if you are
thoroughly familiar with your
SIIhiect

cHINS UP. TAXPAYERS

1t costs money - piles and seeds
and bushels Of it - to win q war. But
no matter the cost, it is so much bet
ter to win than to lose, thot it isn't
worth talking about - except for the
foct we now know what will be taken
from each Americans pocketbook.
Secretary Of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthou revealed the rote will be
doubled for most toxpoyers and there
will be many more taxpayers. He asked
Congress to boost taxes by more than
seven and one-hoIf billion dollars.
That won't leave much for most Of us
to fling around on Iuxuries. But it will
give our armed forces something ter
rifle to toss at the oxis.

WoMAN'S WORK

With agriculture and industry
foeing severe shortage Of monpower,
women's port in our war effort is be-
coming q role Of increasing imPor-
tonce. Already the Department Of lo-
Dor is surveying the possibility Of loree-
scale recruiting Of women workers to
forestoIl the threatening showdown.
In many vital war production
plants the goal of round-the-cIock mo-
chine operation is not being met be-
cause Of lack of skilled workmen.
At the same time the country's farm
ers ore seriously concerned with the
continuing shift of farm labor to war
industries.
The Labor Department finds DO
tentiol force Of six million women
workers available by the end Of 1912.
1t suggests as first source those now
unemployed or temporarily idle be-
cause Of Priorities or factory CONVEX
sions. Many other workers might be
found among the young women who
will complete their schooling this year.
Not until these sources are utilized
does the department advise calling on
the estimated two million housewives
between the oges Of Is and "a who
could be spared from homes where
there ore no small children.

secretary Of war. Some Of the
ormen might be inclined to
wonder what would hoppen to
them if the chief of stoff were
q ground officer who did not
appreciate the power of the
dir force.
Similarly. on the new gen.
eroI stAff Of SO officers, half
ore to be from the dir force,
half from the ground. The
question here is whether on dir
or q ground officer is at the
head Of each of the general
stoff sections on personnel, in
telli9ence, operations and sup
ply. In the war plans division
Of the general stoff, about q
third Of the so officers detoiI-
ed will be from the air force.
The same question crises here
as on the general stoff proper.
1t is the general stoff and the
war plans division which od-
wise the chief Of stoff who, in
final analysis. is the command
er Of the Army who makes the
decisions as to how the war is
fought. 1t is the makeup Of
this general stoff as q whole
which will determine how ef-
fectiveIy the air force is used.
These points are mode here
not in any effort to deprecote
the reorganization plan nor to
indicate that there is any great
feud between dir and ground
commands. The War Deport-
ment as at present constituted
is unquestionobly air con-
scious, from Secretary Slim
son, Assistant Secretary for
Air Robert A. Lovett, General
Marshall, Lieut.. Gen. McNoir,
the ground commander, and Of
course Lieut.. Gen. Arnold. the
dir forces commander.
The air force is now becom-
ing the biggest thing in the
Army and the most important.
But some Of the cuper- chorg-
ed, overenthusiostic oirmen
won't be satisfied till they're
running the whole show.

HOLLYWOOD, March IL
The screen colony is hopping
mad about a widely printed
charge that heads of the studios
are trying to get their sons and
sons-in-law into soft, safe, COM
missioned branches of the arm
ed services. Nepotism and all
sorts of wangling and influence
for good jobs in ordinary bust
ness may not have been uncom-
mon in the past, but nobody
can think OF a single instance in
which that could be suspected
now in war activities.
The son of the head of one
studio is in the Navy, and he
enlisted months before the war
began. The son of another
studio chief is an Army private.
A third example is an artillery
officer, but he was long COM
mlSSlOned reSerVlSt, ana a 1Ourln
has been a reserve officer sever
al years.
And that's all the sons there
are, unless you count Junior
Laemmle, whose father once
headed Universal. Laemmle re-
Gently was indicted as private.
He was the producer of All
Quiet on the. Western Front,
Hollywood's greatest anti-war
picture. Now he has been as
signed to the Signal Corps to
aid in making propaganda films
to stimulate Americas war spir-
it.

block. West returned low club,
North ducked and East won with
the nine. A low club return
brought out the jack and ace.
Now Silodor ca he'd five
spades, catching the queen by a
finesse. East discarded all three
diamonds. Silodor read this TO
indicate that East surely held
the heart king, plus the guard
ed queen Of clubs.
So the next lead was the
three of hearts and finesse of
the ten won. Dummy cashed the
ace of hearts and led another
heart, North discarding his two
diamonds.
East was forced in the lead
and two tricks in clubs. Thus he
made his doubled contract with
an extra trick.
