Her Job Was Easy for a
While, But She Gets a
Difficult Request
Nora Reed, who has taken charge
of the casting department of one of
the film studios in New York, has
many unusual requests from di
rectors to record. The other day
a director rushed into her office,
shouted, "I must have a baby, not
more than a day old. Got to have
it right away," and rushed out A
few moments later a director bustled
in, and, without looking up from the
script he was " reading said, "Miss
Reed, please get me a character
woman, about 200 pounds, prefer
ably Irish, who can run a couple of
hundred yards without being wind
ed." Whereupon he walked out, still
persuing his script. .
The observer wondered how Miss
Reed would manage, but it seems
that she did. A few hours later the
baby that was a day old arrived at
the studio accompanied by a nurse
maid and began to do its first screen
work at the same time that the 200
pounder, female, was doing an out
door stunt in a comedy. scene. Miss
Red, however, didn't look so cheer
ful. "I've just had a request," she
confided, "for a man who looks like
Christ for a religious picture we are
going to make, and it will be a diffi
cult task."
Movie Actress Takes All
Night Walks In Woods;
Communes Wth Elves.
Louise Fazenda has just finished
one of her wildwoman walking
trips. Louise insists that in an
other incarnation, she was a big
gray timber wolf. Every once in a
while, when the moon is full, or
isn't full anyhow, once in a while,
Louise barkens to the call of the
wild and goes out for an all night
walk through the mountain canyons
near Los Angeles. She says the
brooks are full of elves who sing
to her, and that all the little wild
people of the woods the coyotes
and the red foxes and the night
owls prowl around, too. One
night she took two of the lovely
firls who appear in the Paramonnt
ennett comedies with her to hear
the night noises of the wilderness.
They came back carrying the nevr-
again sign. Ihey said they heard
rats and rushed for a vacant ranger's
cabin for moral support and spent
the night sitting on the departed
ranger's kitchen table with their
skirts tucked up around them.

stitute here for instructors and dele
gates, from all over the state, with
the object of organizing classes from
the different communities, to take up
Red Cross courses in elementary
hygiene and home care of the sick.
Until the Red Cross found the ne
cessity of teaching public health to
the nation, there was no way of ob
taining this instruction except by
taking a three-year course in some
institution. Now it is in the reach
of all those who care' to accept it.
The instruction is given by a com
petent! Red Cross nurse at the very
fhominat cost of $1.50 for the course,
ot 15 lessons, which also includes
the text book which each student
is required to have, both for in
struction and examination. At the
end of the course all those who
have attended at least 12 of the 15
lessons are given the examination
and those who attain a final aver
age of not less than 75 per cent will
be. presented with a certificate. The
Red Cross has not only requested
but urged that this training be a
part of every woman's education.
Under the very efficient chairman
ship of Mrs.. W. E. Bolin, 187 stu
dents' have . been enrolled.. Four
classes in home nursing .are now
taking their examinations, and will
receive certifiicates by June 15. New
classes are ' now being ' formed,
among them two night classes; one

class is finished others will be

Heart Beats
By A. K.
Rain drops fr6m heaven I
Are the angeli .
Weeping
For our sin-filled world?
How we welcomed
Little rain drops
Dancing on the pavement
Hiding in the grass
Washing fcaby pansy faces
Giving the green trees
A bath.
But the sky
Continued weeping
A bad omen?
Lightning flashed,
And ripped wide open
Great dark clouds
' Like Allah's wrath.
Down the rain came
In wild torrents
Thunder's deafening
Crashes screamed
Then rumbled
On to meet the next
Mad stabbing streak.
"Turn the faucet off
In Heaven"
Someone gloomily remarked
"Is the washer worn
Or something?
Is heaven's plumber
On a strike??,
Turn the tears off
Stop this sobbing
... We've engagements..
For tonight.
1 But despite the
Jest and joking
Clouds were ripped
And torn tc bits
Until the world
Was drenched and dripping
We were begging
The down-pour
To cease.
Mercy!
We prayed in supplication.
Good Allah heard '
Our call
Then he gave two days of
Sunshine
But the nights
Brought on more rain.
. .
Out of evil
Good must come
And after dark
There must be sun
All this weeping
' Of the heavens
Finally made us
See the light
And we realized
That sleeping
Is the thing to do
At night"
