CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE PLANNED New Tubercular Society Sec-j retarv Will Push Campaign Phlhi<lel|>hin, Aug. 20.—A change in j the staff of the Pennsylvania Society | for the Prevention of Tuberculosis i has been made in the appointment J of Arthur M. Pewees to the position of executive secretary. .Pewees has been working as field secretary of the ; society for more than a year. In the | office of the executive secretary he j succeeds R. Barclay Spicer, who re- j signed to accept an appointment on a I reconstruction unit to be sent to Rus- j Bia by the Society of Friends. t According to a statement just is sued it is the plan of Pewees to en- j deavor to expand the activities of the Pennsylvania Society until there i is a vigorous citizens' health organi- j zation in every county in the State. | The Society's program of education j and prevention will he pushed stren- j uously. Particular emphasis will be I placed upon the child size of the ! tuberculosis problem and more at- j tentlon will be given to rural and ' industrial health conditions. At every | point there will be the closest pos- J sible co-operation with State and lo cal health authorities and with other agencies interested in health prob- j lems. The sale of the familiar little seal ' during the Christmas season is the source of practically all of the funds used by the Pennsylvania Society ] and its branches. Plans are now i being made for the seal sale of 191!!. , Because of the urgent need for a ! great expansion of constructive work ! and because of a vastly increased in- j terest on the part of the people gen- j orally in the campaign for the elim- : ination of tuberculosis, this is ex pected to be the most successful seal ! sale ever held. It will be a great I health education drive as well as a ! means of raising funds. ft. -~s=gsi=pisss The Principal Reason For Approaching Coal Famine A SHORTAGE of labor at the coal mines is respon sible for the fast approaching coal famine. Indi cations point to greater difficulties in securing fuel than were encountered in that dreadful winter of 1917- 1918. You cannot mine coal without labor. You may have all the demand the most optimistic sees ahead. You may have all the cars the most sanguine believes in. You may may have all the other necessary conditions for a prosper ous season in the coal industry; but without men to dig the coal, and without men to handle the coal, coal won't get into the bins. The forthcoming and fast-approaching shortage of manpower is going to cripple production. A crippled production means coal shortage. * Using the simple law of deduction, it would seem buying now and storing is the natural—the obvious —thing to do. The next advance in coal prices will be Septem ber 1. United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowden Sts. 7th & Woodbine Sts. 6th & Hamilton Sts. 7th & Reily Sts. 15th & Chestnut Sts. .

HOW TO MAKE GOOD IX MOVIES I Ten thousand girls in the United | States, Canada, Australia* England i and the Spanish countries have ask ed Jackie Saunders the burning ques- ' tion, "How can 1 make good in mo- j | tion pictures?" And Jackie has de- | , cided to answer them all at once. j } "I have been asked that question i ' so often that it seems to have weight ed me down with responsibility," : ; sjjid Miss Saunders recently, "and I 1 am bound to answer it according to I my ability. I only hope that I shall j lie able to throw a little light on'tile : subject and if I help one girl some- j where I shall not have lived in vain." Miss Saunders lias Just returned to ' the screen in "Muggsy," a Triangle 1 release, and her reception proves that I 1 she is more popular even than before. ! J her retirement. "When a girl comes j j | to me for advice, I always ask her I j ! one question: " 'Do you helleve in yourself?' "If she answers yes with convic tion I know that girl Is going to get j ] somewhere, and I am glad to help ] ! her, but she must have no doubt, ! otherwise she's gone. "In order to make good in pictures ! | J a girl must, then, first of ail believe ; that she can win. St. Paul described | i this as faitli and he said: 'Faith is i 1 the substance of things hoped for, ' j ! tlie evidence of things not seen.' * I "Faith once enthroned, the golden ! | key that unlocks the door of success i j Is work—work—work. Of course, a I i girl must have a physical equipment I I that has selling value in order to : I win, for tl\e camera can't pick up | : the mind no matter how beautiful it ] may be. except as it is reflected in ] I 1 the physical face and form. ' "If a girl photographs well she j may 'get over' on that alone for a ; while, but without a sense of drama- I j tic values she will fall by the way- j \ side. After all, a girl on the screen ' | is expected to act and not merely to j I pose and look like a doll, so it is ' ; well to get some dramatic training, j • A director cannot always move a girl ] I around like a wooden Indian. The ' j girl is supposed to understand the ! i action and to intelligently interpret I , it. | i "But if a girl has— I "Dramatic intelligence, • | ! "Personality, • "Photographable face and form— "And all these backed by sincerity of purpose and hard work— "She'll win and nothing can keep j her from winning. : "If she lack any of these, she is I handicapped, like an automobile witli j I defective ignition, and she will not \ make the grade and stay there. "Briefly, this is my answer to my ; ten thousand girls, but 1 must add ! one more essential: 'The studio is the school of mo i tion pictures. Go there, take the hard j knocks, be true to yourself, work \ i hard and the star's pay envelope will ! lie yiurs some day." JUST IIAII TO TALK ! "What was the hardest thing you! i had to overcome when you went from [the stage tq the pictures." asked a| i friend of Bessie Barrisfale the other! I day. I "Talking back to the director," an-1 i swered Bessie promptly. "It was two I l weeks before 1 succeeded in entirely] | breaking myself*of trying to answerl i when he would speak to me.
