AMERICAN SCENE"

They hurled him into a courtroom
On merciless men;
The odds were against him
Before the trial began.
To convict the man accused
Sufficient evidence they lacked,
They couldn't let him go
Without being abused;
So, they convicted him for being
black.

THE POWER OF A SMILE

bL WILLIAM ftbNH1 HUFF
A hearty smile to everyone I owe
No matter who, no matter where,
Or whether bosom friend or bane-

I always have a smile TO spare.
A pleasant smile win open bolted

Behind which naughty people
frown
Provoking smiles from them to

And cause hate walls TO tumble

Chxissnaas-Card Troubles
PERHAPS the only holiday problem to rival
over enthusiastic youth is that of the Christ
mas card. One Idaho lady didn't get around
to the hectic mailing task until two days
before Christmas. Then she was flooded with
cards - her own. She had reversed the posi-
tons of sender's and recipients addresses.
A West Virginia matrons experience was
even more narrowing. She put her carefully
addressed cards in carton and gave the lot
to an errand boy to mail A couple of days
after Christmas q postman knocked at
her door and collected $l6.75 for q COD.
package. She found that she had bought her
own cards back. The boy had left the entire
box, unopened. at the post office.
But the problem can be licked, as certain
Scottish gentleman proved. One year he got
his entire mailing of cards safely on the way
early in April. Of course. there was special

inspectress' touch that as the film
slips so speedily through her fin
gers, she can feel the slightest de-
feet and stop to repair it with
special instant-drying glue. The
gloves protect her hands both from
dirt and cuts from the paper-sharp
edge of the film.
1t doesn't happen often, but occa-
sionally there will be a piece of Aim
damaged or worn to such an extent
that it must be replaced instead of
repaired. Some exchanges. says
Chief Inspectress Saul, who has
worked in others besides Warmers,

fective film. but merely snip the
entire scene in which it occurs so
neatly that the audience is seldom
aware that a piece of its entertain
ment is missing. After all, IL feet
of film Zone scenes WORTH out of
the several thousand that constitute
the entire feature, is small matter.
The life of movie is unlimited if
it is handled with care. Some prints

tie that it almost has to be handled
with kid gloves instead of the usual
heavy cotton ones - flguratively
speaking. Its life is short, its re-
pairs many. Life with Father" the
most recent Warner Technicolor re-
lease, now reposes in the exchange
vault in its fireproof can, wrapped
in wet blotters which must be re-
tmoistened every month to preserve
the film for its re-release some day.
Like a vintner descending to his
cellar periodically to rotate his pre-
cious champagne!
The task of inspecting film from
Washington, D. c., to Washington
State is strictly woman's work. At
it, a girl can progress to chief in
spectress or be promoted to secre-
tarial work in the Office upstairs or
become booker or 60 on to any one
of a number of other more impor-
tant posts in the exchange. But at
Warmers at least, the girls are a
contented lot. One of 'em has been
an inspectress for Is years-Geral-
dine Saul for six. They take pride
in their work, they never find it
monotonous and they are all movie
fans in their off-hours!

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lo,pman

Some comments in "Why Grow
Old?' about the new styles have
put interesting letters into my mail
bag. One before me says:
Many things you have said in
your column have helped me. You
said, Choose clothes for becoming
ness as well as style, and if you can
not afford new clothes wear the ones
you have, because many women are
doing it. Such an article will give
a lot of us courage.
II am not young woman and
my husband retires on a small pen
sion this spring. I cannot buy new
clothes. My son is a veteran and
his wife cannot buy new clothes
either. They have two small babies.
"Why do they do things like this
to us? We, and those like us, who
cannot afford to discard all of the
clothes we have and buy new ones,
must comprise large percentage of
the population. Keep on writing
articles which give us moral sup
port"
In this letter you have the pic
ture! We see, everywhere, smart
looking women wearing skirts which
are shorter than the most stylish.
1t has become badge of the in
dependent spirit! Do not misunder-
stand me! I think longer skirts are
here to stay for awhile, and I also
believe that change of style is
refreshing and youthifying for those
who can afford it. I just think it
hit us at bad time.
The change in style came at a
time when living costs are soaring
and the average budget is terribly
pinched. 1t arrived, following war
when many men had been disrupted
in their careers and had given up
the solid financial programs of
peacetime budgeting.
When you buy new things buy the
longer ones. Let the hens of old
garments out to their greatest
length, use tricks to lengthen
dresses, some Of which I have al
ready given in this column. Then,
if you must wear shorter dresses
which you already have, do not
worry too much about it. A great
many attractive women are doing
the same thing. There is a COM
forting lag between short skirts and

Know how sometimes when YOU
are enjoying movie, the dialogue
will suddenly jump a few words or
the film will flicker momentarily?
Or up will crop one of those ultra
annoying occasions when the film
breaks down entirely and the screen
Is dark for seconds that seem like
minutes?
According to Geraldine Saul, there
is less chance of that irking occur
renee popping up during the showing
of Warner Bros picture than any
other. Company pride notwith-
standing, Geraldine knows. AS chief
inspectress at the Warner exchange
here, it is her job and that of the 13
girls under her to see that every
minute film tear or break that could
cause such annoyance is caught and
repaired before the movie reaches a
theater.
OF course, there is always the
chance that a careless projectionist
at the theater may damage the film
during operation, but that possibil-
ity Is remote and out of the control
of Saul and company.
Just think-every inch of the
hundreds of thousands of feet of
film bearing the Warner name

der the Warmers and all the ex-
changes require such large staffs of
inspectresses.
The girls at Warmers, typical of
all exchange inspectresses, work in
a large, vault-like room, the floor of
which is strewn with flreproof octa-
gonal cans of film. If a girl is in
specting one reel of film, the can
containing the remaining reels must
be kept closed at all times-fire mar
shals orders.
AS the inspectress winds the film
from one spool to another with q
rapidity that could only come from
long practice, she keeps one white
gloved hand on the celluloid. (The
sound track is nothing more than
two thread-like lines running parallel
