Miss Hoagland, “women may be trusted
to work out their own economic prob
lems.’’
In speaking of the topics which will
come up for discussslon at the conven
tion, Miss Hoagland said that those of
women in industry and special legisla
tion affecting them promise to be heated.
OPPOSES SEX
LEGISLATION.
Miss Hoagalnd declared herself strong
ly opposed to sex legislation, placing it
in the same plane as class legislation.
In discussing the place of women in
commercial occupations she said that
those who are familiar with the women's
economic status accept It as a matter of
natural evolution.
“Pessimists and sentimentalists are
alarmed and housewives chagrined,’’ she
said.
“The business and professional woman
has been too much occupied in the pur
suit of her daily Occupation to pay much
attention'to the agitation she is creating
or to her future.”
Miss Hoagland said that the most
progressive women have taken the op
portunity to organize locally and na
tionally.
“Hence," said Miss Hoagland, “the
National, Federation of Business and
Professional Women is the outgrowth of
the desire of these progressive women to
study their own peculiar problems and
their solution.’’
About 250 Indianapolis women belong
to organizations affiliated with the na
tional organization.
The officers of the Indiana division are:
Miss Ida M. Anderson of Indianapolis,
president; Mrs. F. J. Scholz of Evansville,
first vice-president; Miss Harriott C.
Palmer of Franklin, second vice-presi
dent; Miss Forba McDaniel of Indiana
polis, corresponding secretary; Miss
Goldine Grove of Frankfort, recording
secretary, and Miss Gertrude McDaniel of
Anderson, treasurer. ,
Miss Gail Laugblin, president of the
national organization, has written, a let
ter to the Indiana Federation, extending
an invitation to the business women of
the state to attend the convention.
“Vours will be satisfaction in the fu
ture," Miss Laughlln writes, "when the
National Federation of Business and Pro
fessional Women shall have achieved
things which are worth while, as it will,
of feeling and of being able to say, ’Of
all this I was a part.’ ”
The national organization is composed
of state and county federations and local
clubs, 75 per cent of whoa* membership
consists of active business and profes
sional women.
The national headquarters of the or
ganizatlon are In New York City,
FIVE MONTHS OLD BABY GIRL
Is the Latest Leading Film Actress
Virginia Stern, age s—months, not
years—ls the latest shining light of fllm
dom.
And she Is a natural born actress —her
press agent admits It.
And, of course, you will want to know
what her favorite means of recreation
are, when she is not facing the eternal
click of the camera and laughing at the
director when he becomes red In tbe
face trying to make her “register.”
In the first place, she does not read
Shakespeare and she cares nothing for
grand opera—despite the fact that most
movie stars find that, according to their
perspiring press agents, their favorHe
pastimes.
Neither has she any ambition to oor
tray the favorite roles of Shakespearean
plays—but she does like to play with
her dolls and she finds her greatest en
joyment In her mother's kitchen, just
after she takes the cookies out of the
oven.
Miss Stern made her debut in “Up
In Mary's Attic” —and now the majority
of the directors on the coast are after
her to play baby parts In future pro
ductions.
“Up In Mary’s Attic” is headed to
ward Indianapolis and will be on view
soon.

BIL LHART IS NOW A
RAILROAD MAN IN MOVIES.
Bandits an’ everything.
Bill Hart has a gang of bandits in
“Sand” that provides an interesting and
entertaining series of adventures.
And incidentally, Bill has an oppor
tunity to bring forth all those traits of
his acting that are peculiar to him.
Hart is almost all the picture.
His stunts are the most interesting
parts of the film.
But, as this Is more of a romantic
play than Hart generally presents, the
leading lady has a chance to make a
good Impression.
“Sand” is a viril red-blooded story of
the pioneer railroad men of the south
west at the time when it was almost, but
not entirely, clear of bandits.
The leader of the bandit gang is one
of the important members of tho cast
with a lot of action in his role.
Also worthy of mention Is Bill’s
horse. “The Boss," which has some work
all of its own.
It’s good to see Hart in a play that
breathes action and good acting, and
