Scientific Method


She goes about her bookkeeping
in a very scientific manner, we
might add. The pictures are
taken from newspapers. maya
zines. posters and every other
imaginable source.
Each is filed away under the
stars name until there are suf-
ficient 20 fill several pages.
Then they're pasted in cate
gorically and artistically. Need
less 10 say. the process eats up
most OF Miss Dresser's leisure
time, but she dotes on II.
Whenever star comes 20
town. lady Charlotte sends the
particular scrapbook that con-
tainS his or her pictures TO the
theater or hotel room. The book
is always returned with auto
graphs and grateful remarks.
For she usually has several
pictures the star has never even
seen. Frequently they ask 10
purchase the books or portions
thereof. but the answer is al
ways no.
When Billie Burke was here
last summer, she put in plea
for many pictures OF her late
husband. Flo Ziegfeld. and Miss
Dresser gave them TO her. How
ever, that was the exception.
Personsl Notes
Leslie Howard was so en-
Unused about his photographed
collection that he wrote little
comments under each photo.
Mary Pickford penned in sew
eral places Thank you and
Hope 10 see you in Pickfair."
Hundreds of others have left
Trsonal notation.
- In many cases the stars have
sent her their favorite pictures
or kindly letters Of appreciation.
Some have begged her 10 remove
none-too-flattering pictures
and so II goes IN the life of a
Scrapbooker.
But, through her hobby. Miss
Dresser has met and known
more handsome matinee idols,
more temper entail prima
donnaS, more famous footlight-
ers than any one else outside
the show business. It's been a
lifelong substitute for a
thwarted career.

More troubles

I'm my experience with WPB
war workers" she said in an
interview, Il have found that
working wives have no more
physical ailments than single
girls. and no more psychological
difficulties.
In fact, I have found that
the girl who has nothing 10 do
but 60 home from work and
wash out a pair Of stockings
often has more troubles. both
physical and mental, than. the
busy working wife who must go
home 10 peel potatoes, pop the
biscuits into the oven, and per-
haps do the family washing
after the dinner dishes
Doctor Berle did not say.
however. that she did such
similar household duties at the
end of her day as WPB doctor.
She said She did not wish 10
imply that all wives should
work.
Some can do IL and some
can't she said. Indeed. some
should never try it for their
individual makeup can't make
il. It's very much an individual
matter.
About Mothers
Then. too. the matter OF
mothers is an entirely different
problem.
IF mother is worrying
about what her children are
doing while she is working. her
work and her health will suffer-"
she declared.
And another thing, GER
talnly believe that mothers
should not come back 10 work
two weeks after having a baby,
as some are now doing. That is
very bad.

At the tender age of -. Char
lotte was nursing an extreme
case of stage mania. Even then
she was a devotee of stock plays,
opera and everything theatrical.
But her staid and respectable
Toledo family put definite
thumbs down on her acting
aspirations, from that time on.
and she was forced 10 take out
her burning ambitions in coll
1ecting pictures OF stage greats.
How She Started
A friend of the family in those
days was a theatrical producer
and publicist, who kept great
files and clipbooks of the stars
for business purposes. II was
his influence that started Miss
Dresser on her scrapbooking.
Throughout the years the pic
ture collection has grown into

books, that incorporate the lives
and careers of most every stage,

Congressional Caution
On Postwar Security
Plan Seen by George

BY the Associated Press
VIENNA, Ga, July 3l.-Senator
George, Democrat of Georgia,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee. today commended Presi-
dent Roosevelt's six-point plan to
aid returning servicemen, but pre-
dicted Congress would be cautious in
expanding the Nations social secur-
ity program.
Observing that existing laws pro-
vide for rehabilitation of soldiers
and sailors after the war. Senator
George suggested that the President
has in mind a greatly expanded
social security program
Notwithstanding the great hu-
manitarian impulse to greatly ex-
tend the social security system he
continued. I'VE will proceed slowly
in the United States to expand any
program which is dependent on
capital levy
Depends on Prosperity.
He argued that social security

whether it runs in the black or in
the red, and thus is capital taxa
ton
With a sound system of taxa
ton that allows individuals and
business to accumulate reserves we
should be able to provide reasonable
employment for our people as we
have in the past except in periods
of unusual depression" he added.
"A social security system, properly
enacted, would soften the blow in
such periods. ANY social security
system must depend on prosperous
business-all business. from farm
ing on up the scale-and if we
haven't got prosperous business we
cannot have social security on the
European scale
IF we have prosperous business
we don't need to make the people
dependent on their Government.
That. at least. is the American way,
and If that passes we will go to a
different social and political sys-
tenn in America.
Cites Congress- Record.
Without being critical at all the
Congress and not the Executive
has been the friend of the service
man. The benefits to Spanish
American War veterans, which have
been extended to veterans of World
War No. l. came through Congress.
and frequently over opposition of
the administration"
Commenting on the Presidents
proposal for cushioning demobiliza-
ton Senator George recalled he
had suggested April 20 that there
should be arrangements for slow
rehabilitation of the Army, which
l think is precisely what the Presi-
dent suggests"
The President advocated muster

tional training opportunities, un-
