The memorial planned was a shrine

$500. As the canvassing progressed;
instead of reaching the goal the
pledges doubled and came to $1,059.

sum has now been invested in Vic

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.

His Letter
By GRACE HAZARD CONKLING
Beyond the steel and the fire
Gleams the old desire.
War has not taken wonder( away.
More poignant where its lightnings
play.
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.

hundred speeches in the suffrage
campaigns in Kansas. She is honor-,
