STAY AWAY FROM HOLLYWOOD, PLEA Os FILM FIRMS 50,000 Applicants Storm Studios in Vain Hunt for Jobs. Bu Times Special HOLLYWOOD, June 7. ‘ Too many people; too few jobs.” This is the plight of the new “Central Casting Corporation” in Hollywood’s and America’s great industry, the making of movies. Swamped by more than 50,000 “extras” and would-be stars beating at the gates of moviedom, the twentystudios have joined forces to bring* some order out of the employment chaos by financing for themselves a central employment bureau. They have registered 10,000 picked

'extras” for call and have closed the ‘ ts oft the thousands of others doc have flown from the four corwha N f the earth only to break ners c -es, like moths against a themselv 'he hard economic fact of 'lamp, on i- "he new system is”popuno work. 1 studio managements, lar with the has gone up against but a great cry v who felt themit from the man. re not chosen, selves called but we. in#,” said Miss “My job is a tragic- 0 f the wom . Marion L. Mell, director f or . en’s division of the “C. . v rial welmerly with the State indusfare commission. > "nany "I am often, asked, ‘How j^y | movie extras are out of work?’ i a _ reply* is to quote the latest popu. tion figure in Los Angeles. Every-

one, it seems, wants to be a movie star, and once he has beer, cast in a mob scene he thinks he's on the ! high road to a SSO, 000-year contract. “Previously these thousands of exj tras were being exploited by fly-by-j night coaches, training ‘schools’ and I private employment bureaus. These jatter charged 8 per cent commisI sion, which meant 40 cents out of a $5 a day job, plus care fare, phones J and endless disappointment and contusion. Out of these thousand* we have picked 10,000 of the most ftvailable, and have their names sorted in filing cases with references to experience, type, wardrobe and other qualifications. Every morning we get our order from the studios, who use now between 1,000 and 2,000 a day. “The expploitation of the extras has been stopped to' large extent, and j and the extras save an estimated $250,000 a year in fees and tuition costs. We have also instituted the eight-hour day for movie extras with i overtime schedules. I should say that the average wage is $7.50 a day. “Os course, the answer has not been found to the distress of unemployment and under-employment in iHollwood. There is only one answer jto that. It is ‘Stay at home and [don’t seek your fame and fortune in I the movies.’ ”

Bji NEA Service PHILADELPHIA, June 7.—“ The Hon. William Scott Vare,” Pennsylvania’s 59'year-old wet Republican nominee for the United States Senate, is called with tongue-rolling; pride by his speeehmakers, in his campaigry literature, and on occasions of State. But out in South Philadelphia! where was founded the political dynasty which brought about his nomination, he is plaih “Brother Bill.” -They call him that because of his two fraternal predecessors, George A. and Edwin H. Vare, in the domination of Philadelphia political affairs. George was the first of the triumvirate to emerge from the obscurity of their father’s truck-grow-ing business. This was thirty years ago. George and Edwin in turn went to the State Senate. They made friends out in South Philadelphia, came to control ward politics, and bit by bit, spread their wings over a multitude of votes. Lucrative Contracts Lucrative contracts for street cleaning, garbage collection, ash collection were part of their stock in trade. They distributed judiciously all manner of municipal jobs and vani-ty-touching committee honors. The Vare cause rolled up avoirdupois and momentum, and the VareS| waxed rich. “Brother Bill” sought to be mayor in 1911. Previously he had filled in as a member of the select council, as a tax appraiser, and as recorder of deeds. i War between the Vares and the aristocratic Boies Penrose flared in the mayoralty, race. “Brother Bill’”D lost the nomination, but the Vares switched to RudQlph Blankenburg, an independent, in the general election and won.

The next year the South Philau 'tlphia district sent “Brother Bill”' to Congress. It kept on .sending him as f requ<:ntly as a biennial *■': ' . Effect ive opposition to the Vave# 1 f e jj" apar J* after the death of Pebrose. In a tew y eai& Ed Vare diedN and “Brothe T alone was left to carry on. Leave I amCy A multiplicity °f responsibilities rests lightly on Va re s bread shoulders. Commuting . between W ashington and Philadelphia, he spends much of his time with L* ss wife and two grown daughters a*** their comfortable Broad St. home. For relaxation, he puts on overalls and works in his gard bn or on his farm. In 1922 “Brother Bill” was elected to the State Senate and re-t 'lected to Congress on the same day. And he succeeded in covering both assignments. Strung together in a network of alert, harmonious putposts, his lieuv 1 tenants know the whereabouts complexion of almost every Philadelphia vote. * - . .. . , i

To these lieutenants the senatorial nominee always is accessible, attentive, generous. He is the orthodox type of city "boss.” He is florid and chubby of person, with set lips and an immobile “poker”- face. When asked leading questiorts, he can coolly twirl his eyeglass cord, uncross his legs and say “Hum.” In Congress he had littl to say, and *in campaigns he mostly read his brief speeches. Red-hot ' charges are Showered' upon him in', every campaign he makes, but he' is .'blandly, smilingly indifferent to them. • * Gen. Smedley D. Butler is numbered among those' who vainly have challeneged Vare’s influence. A sense of security radiates “Brother Bill.” Among most of the city's voters any one who denies that this sense of security is politically well founded does it with a twinkle in his eye.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRADITION ABOUT WOMEN IN OFFICE IS DUE FOR SMASH Fall Elections May See Them Re-elected for First Time. Times Washinpton Bureau t 1322 Neu) "York Arenpe WASHINGTON, Jne 7.—The *• , ' coming fall elections will shatter a cherished tradition concerning women in public office, according to every indication at the present time. It has been the general belief that' women are given one term in • office only as a matter of sentiment, a sort of last tribute to the dead. ’ No Wonian has ever been re-elected to Congress. Most of those wh*> have served heiie were widows or daughter* of meanbers of the House. Re-election, Seen That is not .true of Mrs. Mary T. Norton of Jersey City who will be nominaaed for a Second time, practically without opposition within a Tew weeks and will undoubtedly be elected. Mrs. Norton "worked her way up J through the political ranks in her | State. She worked on State and county Democratic committees in I New Jersey. ✓ Mrs. Florence Kahn of San Francisco, and Mrs. JDdith Rogers of Massachusetts, were elected to Congress immediately after the deaths of their husbands. Both however, are seeking re-election solely on their records of service to iheir districts. Mrs. Rogers seems to have

a good chance to be re elected. Mrs. Kahn wl have to battle half a dozen candidates, one of them a woman, in the primaries, but believes that her familiarity with every phase of the complicated political game here, t brougjh years of life in Washington w,bh her husband,' will be recognized by thei voters.

All Three Active All three women have taken an active P a rt in the business of this session, speaking before copimitttees and on the floor and being in constant att 'endance.

CUMMINS A BROOKHART YEARS AGO lowa Senator Is Battling Memory of His Best and Youthful Days. Times Washington Bureau, 1322 Xew York Avenue WASHINGTON, June 7.—-Against the memory of his best and youthful days, battles Senator Albert B. Cummins in lowa today. He came to Washington going on to two decades ago tus a rebellious radical. He fights for renomination at the lowa polls today as a calm, conservative, solemnly challenging his chief opponent. Smith W. Brookhart. for standing by the issues he, himself stood V in those years gone forever. It was Cummins who, twenty years ago, led the revoult of the malcontents out there in lowa. It was he who assaulted the State political machine, assailed the high tariff, lambasted the trusts, cried out against capital, broke with the Republican President and demanded defeat of his chief opponent on the very persoal grounds that the latter had grown entirely too old to be re-elected. Senator W. B. Allison, his opponent in that long ago campaign was 70 years old. Cummins was only 56. Cummins today is 76, and his opponent. Smith Wilman Brookhart, Is 55. It is the same play all over again, but time, malicious stage director for all men. has cast the venerable Cummins in anew role. And he finds his opponent speaking the same lines, even to the allegation of an illegitimately large campaign fund, that he himself, spoke when life and polities were still young. What Washington did to Cummins is what it does to most of these progressive leaders who come gallantly out of the West. Washington soothes and softens them, lulls them Into an abiding faith in things as they are and in the righteousness of all that is. Here in Washington men point to the late Senator La Follctte as the only great progressive leuder, whom neither time could mellow nor tide mutilate. The broadbill swordfish, king of ocean fishes, grows to the weight of 1,000 pouniW, is pugnaceous. and his power and speed are tremendous.

PRESENT SESSION SETS RECORD FOR NUMBER OF BILLS More Measures Have Been Tossed Into Congress Than Ever Beforo. /!/ WASHING TUN, .tune 7.—What ever other fame If achieves, the present Congress will set lip one l'fco ord that probably will stilnd fdr n long time —the number of bills its members poured into tlie hoppers of House ami Senate. More hills have been Introduced this year than In any other sirlgle session of Congress, according to tet eran employes who have fcoiirilrtl them for years. If all the hills and resolutions were enacted, the treasury would fin e a deitctt of billions of dollars, the coon try would be dotted with new anil strange projects of all kinds, new procedure would he established, riml she Constitution would have a hew face. There have been Introduced during 134 days of this session a grand total of 16,906 bills, an average of 127 a day, t>f which 12,530 have been pie sCtiied to the House ami 4,375 to the Senate. This is the record for erne session, half of the Sixty-Ninth Cmgress, and It surpasses that for the whole of the Sixty-Eighth Congress, which Was 16,284. At the present rate, the record for the Sixty Ninth Congress will be 33.910. Few Pass

Os course members have no idea that any great number of thoso bills will be passed. To date only 378 bills have been onneted Into law this session, slightly over 2 per cent of those proposed. Bills range from the tax reduction measure to one fixing the price for human blood used In transfusions, from bills to eradicate disease among cattle to Federal supervision of thermometers to protect the health of people.*and includes measures to regulate chiropractors, to regulate mediums, to turn over to a Rotary Club In Indiana a hell from a battle ship. Resolutions for probes of various kinds Include one to investl gate those who criticize Congress. It is usually the new House member who feeds,the hopper most free ly. The record In the House this year is held by anew member, Representative Menges, Rpnnsylvanlii Republican, who overran the pug* assigned in the record book with 190 bills, all private in character. Curtis Hold Record The record In the Senate, however, is held by a veteran, Senator Curtis of Kansas, Republican floor leader, who has Introduced 309 hills, mostly private claims. His closest rival is| a comparative newcomer, Senator" Copeland, New York, Democrat/ who has presented 205 of which about twenty relate to immigration. Senator Carber of Kansas has introduced 162. One of the Senate millionaires, Senator Du Pont, Delaware' Republican, is close to the bottom with four. Eccentricities of rnembere are recorded In the bill Hies! Representa tlve Lankford, Georgia Democrat, for instance, openly admits his belief in the good luck of the numbers. 7 and 11, and every bill ho has In troduced, with four exceptions, has one of two numbers in It. He arranges the numbering to this end. For three sessions, another Georgia Democrat, Representative Upshaw, has Introduced an amendment to the Constitution for restriction of set--tarian schools, and has held It for the same number, 159 In which to date there has been no particular efficacy. War Blamed The flood of hills this session is ' laJd to the reduction in the need foi I major legislation. During the war all minor legislation was shoved aside for war measures,' and for four years the private calendar was n®ver called. Hundreds of claim bills have been Waiting and arc nowbeing brought forward, while the general disposition to pay more at tentlon to small measures has encouraged members to bring In small bills. The majority of hills In * troduced this session are minor tnous ures. There Is ono noticeable tendency in proposed legislation this year, which may be a reaction from World* War, the Introduction of numerous hills for Inspecting Civil War battlefields in the South to the end of preserving them as national parks, and requests for markers for historical personages and events such as the proposed monument to Virginia Dare, the first white child horn in this country. Congress also passed a bill buying for the Federal Government the famous Oldroyd col lection of Lincoln relies.
