Prominent Movie Actor Warns Ambitious Girls Against Notion of Winning Fame on Screen "The motion picture game is now at a standstill, and it would be well for the young girl who has aspirations in . the movie line to stay home and think it over. There are 50 girls to every job now in the Los Angeles where 85 per tent of all the moving pictures are made. Production of moving pictures ' lias fallen off 75 per cent during the past two years, due to the war in Ku rope. ' This is a frank expression of opin ion of the movies by C 11. Morey who is in the city ou business. It is the opinion of a man who has been in the I movie game for the past seven years and is familiar with the conditions as they are today, . Those who were so fortunate as to see "The Birth of a Nation" will of course remember General Lee in the nurrcnder at Appomatox. It was this character taken oy Air. Morey, one in ' which he put on no make up. He just happens to resemble General Lee and it was for this reason he was chosen by Mr- Griffith, the peer of all pro ducers. Flayed in Many Boles Playing with Dustin Farnum in "The Gentleman from Indiana," Mr. orey was the politician. With Helen Holmes, in "The Girl and the Game" he played the part of General Holmes, the father of Helen, a railroad president. In general appearance,' Mr. Morey might be taken for a professional man, a bank president or a skillful politi cian. He stands for this typo in his work at Los Angeles, was assigned these characters with all tho leading companies. In the play "The Weaker Strain," with Henry Walthal, Mr. Mi rey was assigned the character of doc tor. Ho even had the pleasure of playing the part of father to Mary I'ickford in "May Blossoms. " With Geraldine Far rar, he was the millionaire. With Mar guerite Fisher he played the lead in, "father and Son" playing the part ot father. Margaret Fischer's Success In speaking of Margaret Fischer, Mr. Morey said she made her way in the moving picture game by sheer force of talent and hard work. "She is not at all conceited or puffed up over her success, said Mr. Morey. "To tho carpenter she is just as cordial and friendly as to the leading people in the cast. She is now working with her husband Harry Pollard at Santa Bar bara." Mary Pickford Popular Mary Pickford has a personality just as sweet as she appears in the movies, according to Mr. Morey. He found her a great favorite with all the people in the east, just nice and friend lv to all. Geraldine Farrar, he said. realized her own importance and didn't take any special trouble to hob-nob wiin the average movie support. One of his exciting experiences was while playing the part of General Holmes, the wealthy father of Helen Holmes. According to the play, two ourglarg were to enter his house, blow open tho safe (a paper one) and then attack him as he came down stairs. He was instructed that while he was fight ing one burglar, the other would come up, give him a stiff punch and then he was to fall over a table while Hel en rushed in wildly exclaiming "Is he dead." It Just happened that the sec-. ond burglar torgot himself to the ex tent of giving Mr. Morey a knockout blow that landed him on the table, where he stayed several minutes be fore recovering. Fighting More than Play In all the rought fighting, Mr. Mo rey says, special men are engaged who sign a release by which thev cannot sue the company in case of injury. Heal sluggers are introduced to make the saloon fights show the right kind of pep and many men are willing for $10 to go into these fights, knowing they stand a fine chance of a genuine knockout blow. Jn the scenes where girls jump from a second story building into nets of the fire department, those who are will ing to take the risk arc paid $15. A jump into the firemen's net from a four story window is paid at tho rate of $25 a jump. It is only the few of the big stars that draw the salaries that sound so big. Dustin Farnum is rated at about $500 a week and the same for Francis Bushman. Doutdas Fairbanks, he said, is just as popular with his movie peo ple as he appears in the pictures. Fair baims is a real fighter anil athlete, and PETROLEUM SUPPLY IS DECLARED SHORT Country Now Using 330,000, 000 Barrels Says Stand ard Oil Man Atlantic City., N. J., Sept. 20. Amer ie is producing 312,000,000 'barrels of ; petroleum and is using 330,000,000 bar rels annually but reserve stocks will give the nation a sufficient supply for five years. President A. C. Bedford of the Stundard Oil company told the war congress of the United States Chamber of Commerce today. But with such a reassuring predic tion, Bedford insisted that economy I must be pructiced by automobile own i era and other users of gasoline, I "There is not the slightest danger jof their being a deficiency either of crude or refined products necessary for the use of our government or for the uses of the allies in the conduct of tho war," the Standard Oil head declared. I "America is producing and can produce jail that will be needed for these pur poses." ) He outlined a plan of cooperation ! with the government which would give ! war uses first call on the oil supply; keep oil prices from governmental iix- ivtiou because they are now stable; only fix oil prices if a "runaway market' develops; start a campaign of education of automobile users to obtain a maxi mum of usefulness from cars at min imuni consumption of gasoline; and af- lering ot every possible inducement to producers to seek new oil supply Bources. Hertford insisted "plenty ot oil still was concealed under the earth" and urged governmental aid in locating these new fields. For the whole oil in dustry he pledged unswerving and com plete cooperation at all costs, to the government ami its most efficient prose tution of the war. The speaker detailed at length tho manifold uses of gasoline and oil in the. war and the supreme importance oi affording the allies unlimited supplies. He said the trade has responded to the appeals of the petroleum committee of the National Defense Council aud thru them the distribution had already been begun. Bedford explained how the govern ment's demands for gasoline and oils had boin met by practically all pro ducers. "The question of price," he said, "has not yet been determined by the government. We are all interested in price, of course, but we have confi dence in the fairness and broad Handed ness with wich this question will be met by the government and our acts '. have been in accordance with our 'faith." I Bedford explained the heavy cost of developing oil properties and the un certainty of continued supply and urg ed that the price be kept attractive for this reason. "The law of supply and demand, with reference to this great field, involving the use of the automobile in our daily lives, should be given reasonable oppor tunity to operate," he said. "The petroleum induestry is not, so far as prices go, on a war basis. I mean that prices are reasonable and fair and no undue advantage has been taken be cause of tither the extraordinary de mands due to war conditions or in creased costs or of shortage of crude. Prices have not materially advanced during the present year in spite of in creasing costs due to increase in wages and high costs of material, and I be lieve the trade generally will maintain that position, making only such ad vances in the prices of their products as mny be necessary to 'meet increases in costs of manufacture or material or crude oil." Bedford aigued against any step which might ill anv measure hamper the automobile industry. An Frnnnmiral. Tlolio-fitfiil f.io-lir Plaa in TraA -- !

ORGES YOUNG FOLKS 110 ATTEND SCHOOL Commissioner of Education Says War Should Not Re tard Educational Work By Dr. Failander P Claxton (United States commissioner of educa tion) (Written for the United Press) Washington, Sept. 20 An army ot more than twenty million boys and girls enters the schools and colleges of the United States this month. Registration should bo more than last year. There is a danger, however, that there may be a lowering both of the efficiency of the schools and in attend ance, the latter especially in the high schools apd colleges. This should be prevented as far as possible. Very lit tle can be added to the country 's pre paredness by depriving our youth of tho opportunity of education," Because of tho partial disorganiza tion ot society and the general excite ment accompanying our entrance into the war, there is danger of a large in crease in . juvenile delimiueiicv and crime. Against this there is no surer guarantee tnan prompt and regular at tendance of Bchool. Our soldiers will soon be fighting in the trenches and we Bhall be spending billions for the preservation of democ racy, but this latter will be in vain unless the boys and girls in the schools are prepared to make fullest and best use of democracy and are taught to preserve it untarnished. When the war is over, our nation will find itself the leading country of the world to a larger extent than ever before. Our international relations will He more complex. This will make nec essary for the preservation of our de mocracy a higher standard of education and virtue on the part of the masses of the people. The schools must prepa.'e for this. When pence has returned, the world must be rebuilt in a large measure under the direction of the professional and technical men and women of Am erica. Training for this must be given by our colleges, universities and scien tific schools- If America does not furb ish this higher training the world will have to suffer. It may prove wise in many places to readjust the school term to tho needs of harvesting nn,l nlnntimr emits. Tn match that in industrial centers, ef- alone.

Movie Life Hard "The life is a hard one and very uncertain unless one happens to be a star in one of the stock companies.' said Mr. Morey. "Players, after be ing chosen are ordered to report in make up at 9 o'clock in the morning and they may have to stand around until late in the evening before being! called before the camera. Then if the' work happens to be delayed the player is ordered to report the next day. It; is a case of waiting all day long and! then but the few minutes for the first I camera and the retake." Ptonds do not show up well before the camera. If is the brunette withi some real personality. "It is a hard game and 1 am always sorry for the girl who goes into it- 1 ought to know as I have had seven years before the camera with all the leading producers and also seven years in observing what chances a girl has to succeed. She had better stay home." Novel Plan Suggested Washington, Sept. 20. America's youth may be called upon to relieve the national labor shortage by working and going to school in alternate weeks. There will be no compulsion, no re laxing of the law, no -panicky erfodus from the schools but an adjustment will probably be made whereby girls and boys may actively aid their coun try without jeopardizing their educa tion. . Plans with this end in view me bo inir tierfected by the department of In- bor, the United States boys working reserve and the federal bureau of edu cation. With schools and colleges al ready opening, a definite movement is expected shortly. "No Medicine In 4 Years"- Internal Baths Mr. A. ('.ainec.ki writes lr. Chas. A.
