Fake movie employment bureaus and "schools for screen acting" have been prosecuted in all parts of the country. A new type of employment bureau has now sprung up and claims that all its acts are within the law. The advertisements of these bureaus state that they provide several movie companies with actors and actresses and they request those interested to come in for an interview. The applicants are interviewed and then told to have their photographs taken by the official bureau A few photographer. The charge is $15. days later the applicant receives a letter saying that he or she has photographed well and will undoubtedly be a good screen subject. If $35 is paid, a contract will be issued which makes the applicant the employer of the bureau and obligates the latter to get the applicant a start in the pictures within ninety days. The bureau has arrangements with agents who furnish extras for the movie mob scenes, and one such engagement for the applicant fulfills the bureau's part of the contract. The bureau now has $50 of the applicant's money, but Before the applicant is sent out to the motion-picture lot, where he will earn $5 for one day's work, he is made to buy a make-up box for $7.50, when the retail price is $1.50 or less. still is unsatisfied. to spend.

Passengers of the Mauretania relay an amusing story concerning a recent winter cruise of that gigantic liner. As they steamed into a southern port a tiny tender came out to take the passengers ashore. The tender's captain brought his boat alongside most pompously, shouting orders in Italian and doing everything wrong. Three times he tried to make connections with the Mauretania's gangway, and three times failed. The first time the Mauretania's captain smiled; the second time he looked serious; and the third time his face became contorted with fury. "Stand by," he bawled through the megaphone, "and I'll bring my ship alongside." Charles W. Holman, writing in the "Re view of Reviews," says that during the pas five years 6,000,000 farm operators hav seen their aggregate farm capital shrink from $79,000,000,000 to $50,000,000,000.

I The Mail Bag Jews, Catholics, and Protestants: a Rejoinder HAVE just had my attention called to an article written by Don C. Seitz which recently appeared in The Outlook. I would like to know who gives Mr. Seitz the authority to call the Protestants one hundred per cent Americans and write of the Catholics and Jews as though they were aliens. He writes: "What Protestant could join the Knights of Columbus? Could any Gentile get into a Jewish club? Not on his life. . . . These are the things that irk, and justly irk, the one hundred per cent American mind.” First of all, I protest against the implication that Catholics and Jews cannot have one hundred per cent American minds. The Jews came over to America with Columbus, and Columbus came from a Catholic country, so it would seem that if any followers of the three dominant religions could be looked upon as intruders it would be the Protestants! As for the statement that no Gentiles can get into a Jewish club, I would retort that the Jewish people were forced to organize social clubs of their own because they were shut out of Gentile clubs. claim that the blame for intolerance and bigotry rests on the Catholics and Jews, who are in the minority, is to place the cart before the horse. Το Mr. Seitz writes, "We have been broad and liberal in granting equal rights and more than equal opportunities." Who are meant by the pronoun we? I was under the impression that all the citizens of the United States were born free and equal. There can be no question of granting equal rights and opportunities to some of the citizens by others, who because they are in the majority assume a superiority which in a democracy is a species of insolence. Mr. Seitz says: "Large claims are made for Jewish and Catholic patriotism. They will not be believed, even in the face of frequent demonstrations, so long as their social solidarity exists." Surely the strength of the Protestant social solidarity is indisputable. Are we therefore to believe that there can be no Protestant patriots? MAUD NATHAN.
