Story of Extra Girl Who Had Experience Movie Actress Tells How It , All Happened for the Benefit of Other Girls. 1 By JEANNE JOHNSON, i Everyone wants to ge into the movies, and everyone who tackles anyone who is in, gets the same ad vice: "Begin at the bottom. Start as an extra. If you've 'got the goods' you'll get ahead." So that's what I did, and maybe other screen-struck girls for I ad mit I'm one will like to know just what it's like. Here in Los Angeles the preliminaries are easy enough I just went to the "service bureau" an dcxplained my qualifications. They didn't seem much impressed, although I had appeared in amateur theatricals, until I said I had three or four evening gowns. Then they thawed out, and sent me around to Universal City to play "atmos phere." Well, it was 8:30 when I reported to Director Home, who was produc ing "The Midnight Man." He looked me over and said he wouldn't need me until 11, but for me to be on hand by 10:30 sure. I The assistant director showed me where-to make up, and directed me to a big hall, partitioned into halves, one side for women, the other for men. Extras, you know, haven't separate dressing rooms. I had grease paint, powder and pencils, but I didn't know what to do with them, and an old woman who looked like a witch, under a straggly wig and bedaubed with grease paint, took me under her wing. She was meant to look like a witch, I guess, but anyway her heart was in the right place. And let me say right here that all that day, and the days that I worked since (four altogether), I didn't meet anyone who didn't seem anxious to help me. I guess most of them started where I am, and they re membered it. Well, my witch or fairy god mother, as she seemed explained all about make-up to me, and helped me fix up. She wanted to introduce me to a lot of queer looking people all arround us Arabs and negroes and old men with long whiskers and girls in short dance hall dresses. But I got cold feet and asked her not to, until I had time to get used to them. I went over to the set feeling that everyone was staring at me, but I guess no one was. 1 tound a scene being "shot," as they call it. and they kept on shooting it, and I sat around on bits of scenery and felt lost and lonesome. At 12 o clock Director Home called: "Off to lunch, everybody." And "still I hadn't acted, and my evening gown was getting all crump- iy iroiii siuing arouna in it. In the cafeteria we all stormed the counters for food, and I picked up snatches of talk that I could under standmost of it mifirht as well have been Greek, for it was 'all full of words I d never heard. But every one seemed nice and friendly and I began to teel at home. Well, it was 3 o'clock before was called for a scene, and then all I had to do was sit at a table with an insipid-looking man and drink some stutt that was supposed to be cham pagne. But it wasn't it was cider. Anyway I saw the camera man grinding away, out of the corner of my eye, and I thought: "So I'm in pictures at last !' But listen! When it was all over I learned I hadn't been in the scene at all the camera angle" didn't in clude my table. I nearly cried, sbut the director, Mr. Home, saw how I felt and said maybe" I'd have better luck next time, and to report next day tor a scene with Kathleen O'Connor. Maybe I wasn't tickled! I wonder if he saw anything in my acting, if you could call it that, that made him think I would do. Or was it just that he saw I was about to cry? I wonder? Washington Women to Have Minimum Wage Scale They Declare. Fifteen dollars and fifty cents a week was recommended as the min imum wage upon which a woman without dependants can maintain herself at a proper standard of liv ing in the District of Columbia, at the recent wage conference held m Washington under the new wage- minimum law ot the district. This conference was organized in March to consider the wages of women emyloyed in private printing and publishing houses. If its recom mendation is accepted by the mini mum wage board, every woman em ployed in such establishments in the district must be paid not less than the sum specified. At present the boaid found about 75 per cent of the women in this industry in the district are paid less than, $15 per week,- ar.d nearly half of them are paid wages ranging from $8 to $12 per week. For learners or apprentices the conference recommended a rising scale of wage, beginning with $8 per wek for the first three months, $9 for the second three months, $11 for the third three months, and $12 for the fourth three months, the full wage of $15.50 yer week to apply at the end of one year. The new minimum rates will probably be brought into operation sometime in August of this year. Eefore tl ey can be put into effect a public hearing must be held, and then a 30-day period of advertising, and then a 60-day period must elapse to permit employers to ad just their pay-rolls. After they do go into effect, however, any employ er failing to pay the prescribed mini mum will be subject to fine or im prisonment. After many hours of patient fig uring, a young woman of Edgar county, 111., found she owed Uncle Sam an income tax of 3 cents, and paid the amount with her personal check. i Household Service Problem May Be Reorganized If Plans Develop It Is predicted that within the next few years there will be no serious servant problem to interfere with an ambition to be head of a house. In England there is a movement to re organise domestic service 's that there will be established scales of wages, hours of work, and stand ards of efficiency. This movement is to be taken up in the United States according to reports received by the United States Department of Labor. In London it has been found that munitions workers are not satisfied to return to their old places as cooks or housemaids since they have discovered that in factories they have exact hours and definite duties. After earning good wages they will not accept the smaller pay offered to those who belong to the living-in class of employes. At a recent conference of the Wo man's Legion Lady Londonderry, who presided, explained that in va rious counties plans were made to organize thoroughly and to affiliate with other bodies. "There will be no uniforms for the women actual ly in the service," she is quoted as saying, "but they will wear their legion badge and their long-service stripes." ' ' . ' The Woman's Legion hopes to provide instruction in nursing, do mestic economy and child welfare. This is a step toward the final plac ing of household service on a plane where skilled workers will enjoy lib erty and receive adequate compensa tion. It is believed that in time the professional woman cook will be recognized as a most important per son, who will command the respect, accorded to professional nurses am' others who bring to their work trained hands and trained minds.

Thex appeal of beauty's lonely cry! I shall go dreaming till ' I die. I see wind burnished coin bright towns, And roads that shine across the downs; A dusk of forest and a line Of light that silvers the design; Always the shadowed and the bright, A halo for the blackest night! Islands where I have never been! The rainbow toppling down the green Of tilted sea that rack a ship; The molten lava streams that slip From fiery crater rims and fill The dark with rose and daffodil; Lakes mountain hid and spiritual: The undiscovered waterfall Like a white feather through the trees, ' The undiscovered bird in these Singing, always alone, alone, f The lovely voice of the unknown This is Romance chameleon clad That called me when I was a lad, That calls me now to follow well , Through blighted Picardy to hell. Through hell to some elusive blis Of new adventures after this; To follow without asking why! So you will know, if I must die Upon this last and strangest quest. It did not differ from the rest V In simple wonder dark and bright, A halo for the blackest night; And freedom like the unknown bird ' Was a wild voice I had not heard. Was a pure voice I fought to hear! These words to you, my very dear. Beyond the steel and the fire Gleams the old desire. From the Atlantic Monthly One of the oldest survivors among the noted suffrage pioneers in Amer ica is Mrs.v Olympia' Brown-Willis, of Wisconsin who will be 85 years old next January. For 60 years Olympia Brown, as -she is best known, has been prominent as a preacher and lecturer. Early in her career she became identified with the equal suffrage movement and as long ago as 1867 she made several hundred speeches in the suffrage campaigns in Kansas. She is honor-, ary president of the Wisconsin Wo man's Suffrage association and a life member of the National Ameri can Woman Suffrage association.
