HOLLYWOOD, oct. iO-would- be Cinderellas who believe that act- ing is the easy road to affiuence would do well to ponder Q few facts which were dished out the other day by Jimmy Cagney as official gpokesinan for the Screen Actors
 The annual earnings of the aver- age, full-tiine professional actor are considerably less than 96,0O0l Approximately 30 per cent of all professional actors earn less than @2,000 Q yearl
 When you take into consideration the fact that the top-notchers of both stage and screen are paid phenonenally HIGH wages-inarly of them from Si00,000 to S250, 900 every year-it becomes obvious that the acting profession as whole, in order for It's average pay to be 50 low, must he one of the least profitable in America today. It doesn't offer to It's rank and file nearly as good; returns as are en- joyed, for instance, by run-of-the- mill doctors, lawyers or storekeep- CTS. The average carpenter, elec- trician or bricklayer, in these days of high pay, has a decided edge on the vast ma ajority of actors.
 Acting, moreover, is the riskiest of all professions. Not one in ten of those who attempt 1t as a means of livlihood last long enough to have their earnings taken into ac count when the statisticians at- tempt to compute the averages. Tn short Cinderellas, the only thing that can justify Q bid for stage or screen success Is an urge so over- whelming that logic becomes mean ingless.

 There is Q difference in the play of the cards in duplicate and rub. ber bridge. A duplicate player might easily lose today'S hand, bee cause he would figure on making the maximum In order to win. Q good score. He would look at the hand and say, If either the spade or heart, suit breaks, I can make l3 tricks" And 1t is not unreasonable to think that one of the two suits should break.
 The hand was played in . du. plIcate game at the Mayfair Bridge Club in New York against our good friend Harry FBhbein. South, the deciarer, was c very fine rubber bridge player who did not quite realie that, although his contract was six, it was important to make seven in duplicate. When he won the first trick with the ace of dia. monds, he simply led the deuce Of spades, Fishbein won with the jack and knocked out the king Of diamonds, but South cashed the ten of spades and claimed the bal- ance Of the tricks for top score ct both rubber bridge and duplicate

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I have been read
ing so much about the bored and
restless war wives. I believe that
now is their opportunity to start
improving their minds and per-
sonalities and make themselves
better qualified to teach and rear
their children, and to plan the kind
of life and home they will make for
their returning husbands If one
man can live alone for 81 months
on the island of Guam, using only
his resourcefulness to keep him
alive, then certainly We war wives
should begin to use our resourceful-
ness for entertainment.
So let's forget the gay lights and
gay times that we used to have and
do not have now: Let's read more
books, study more courses, attend
more lectures and concerts. It will
work. I know, for am a Navy wife.
I know that If I become bored it is
my own fault. MRS. r. L. r.
Answer commend this fine,
brave, intelligent letter from a war
widow to all the other war widows
who are bemoaning their fate at the
dull lives they are forced to lead
while their husbands are away on
duty.
No one will deny that to be
separated from their husbands, to
be far from their families and
friends and compelled to live among
strangers. and in many cases to be

crowded In with uncongenial re1A-
ttves, or to be tied down with babies,
makes a dull and boring existence.
But 1t makes it worse for them to
rebel against 1t, instead of meeting
the situation with courage and hu-
NOR and intelligence
And this wise Navy wife offers
them definite program of what to
do to make their waiting profitable
to them. She tells them to prepare
themselves to meet the life that they
are going to face after the war. To
read and study SO they will be better
companions to the husbands whose
minds will have been broadened and
stimulated by all they have seen
and done. To learn to be better
managers and housekeepers and
cooks so that they can make more
comfortable Homes for their families.
And to these suggestions / would
add two others. Two possibilities
confront every woman whose hus-
band is In the war. One is that he
may come home sick, nerve-shocked
or injured, and so every woman who
possibly can should take some course
In nursing that will At her to take
care OF him and help him to regain
his health. The other suggestion is
that every wife put in her spare
time in preparing herself to be a
money-earner in case it should be
needful for her to support the
family.

First of the Season.!
BY the Victory Chef

Well, we've been on our flrSt
Victory garden picnic of the season.
A bit chilly. yes, but there were
many Jobs to be done toward get
ting the plot allocated to a friend
of ours in readiness for the planting
so soon to be in full swing. There
was a man with a pillow and busy
tractor that had to be supervised, to
keep him from blowing happily
all over the feeble perennials that
we had yearned over last year; there
were stones to be removed, rows to
be staked out, and the ever present
problem Of rabbits discussed-again
with no solution.
Being a smart guy, our friend de-
cided to make picnic the sugar
coating for getting a lot Of free
help out of his city pals, and issued
his invitations with such subtlety
and salesmanship that to a man
and woman-we accepted. We had
no visions of the aching muscles
and the SMILES that would be our
fate the day after the outing-we
saw ourselves as patriotic Ameri-
cans, as warm and to-be-relied-
upon old friends of old Harry's-and
frankly, fed up on four walls, and
pavements.
So, by bus, bicycle, streetcar and
car pool We converged upon the
plot Of ground set aside for our
miniStrations. 1t was bleak, and 1t
was damp. The man with the trac-
tor was there, blandly ignoring all
suggestions about lodging the per-
ennials. Squirrels looked us over
superciliously and went off to tell
the rabbits this years crop OF Vic
tory gardeners would be just as
easy to outwit as were those Of
1914. Where the pillow turned over
the earth, there were angleworns-
and no way to go fishing. And there
were stones-millions of them.
BY lunchtime we weren't so sure
we were patriotic, to-be-relied-upon
or even warm friends. We thought
wistfully Of those smooth pave
ments that were dry under foot
(sometimes). and didn't turn our
ankles or fill the tops of our shoes

to have mirages about those four
walls. warm and coy with . IRE on
the hearth, and the Sunday papers
strewn about. We were about ready
to quit for good.
At just this point. our host. who
should have been q psychologist,
went to his car and dragged forth
an enormous hamper, complete with
its prewar roster of thermoses,
enamel plates and cups, forks and
spoons, etc. The first thermos
yielded bit of the spirit that
cheers on a bitter day-the second
piping hot cream Of tomato soup
the third, equally hot coffee.
The main course" consisted of
the most wonderful stuffed rolls,
tightly wrapped in waxed paper, and
chockful of that "stick-to- ribs"
quality that we were in need of, Just
then. Whole wheat baker rolls had
been split. followed out q bit
toasted very lightly, spread with
softened butter or margarine, and
filled with this mixture:
For four rolls, hard cooked eggs
had been chopped. and mixed with
2 tablespoons finely minced celery,
u cup of diced cooked tongue, q
tablespoon minced cooked ham, and
a teaspoon of minced onion. To
these were added salt, pepper, a
pinch Of curry powder, and Just a
suspicion of dill. Mayonnaise, spiked
with very little horseradish bound
this filling together; it was stuffed
into the lower half of each roll, and
the top clapped on-all, as we said
being tightly wrapped in waxed
paper.
There were little mincemeat turn
overs for dessert, and more coffee.
BY that time we felt once again
like patriotic Americans, warm-and-
to-be-relied-upon friends, etc.-and
our host put us to work with
almost fiendish glee. We did a good
job-at least there were only a mil
lion or SO stones still in the ground
when We finally left the plot-but
the trouble was, that nobody wanted
to sit up late to listen to the radio
that evening-and there was q cpl
demic Of dumping EPSON salts into
hot, hot baths!
