Meriam of Califorali to draft into state law "career Insurance protecting stars of present and future against penniless and 'di, llusioned, lives when their carerrs are ended.

The formal petition was signed by Jean Acker Valentino, Rose- mary Theby, Harry Myers, Maliloni Hamilton, Alice Lake, Elinor Fair, Gertrude Astor, Ann Luther and Henry Otto, names that used to. draw millions into theatres. Once they were rich and famous. To-day they are playing "dress extra" roles.

Sald the petition: "We who are LOW working as "dress extrna" once knew the fame and fortune that the stars enjoy to-day. We drew the highest sala:les, got the enolcest roles, heard the loudest cheers

The court announced that they found the most probable cause of the loss was bucklinguiness, the advent of talkies-for of the shelter deck with a sub- sequent complete fracture from deck to keel.

Mr. Carpmasi added, there was a very considerable concentration of weight amidships which amount- ed in all to about 2800 tons out of a total dead weight of 4215 tons. The evidence and wireless mes sages had established that on March 14 there were several other f ships within a distance of about 100 or 200 milles er so of the Anglo- Australian, The weather was of a severs Atlantic type.

It' had been established, that the trough of the storm must have passed nearer to the Anglo-Aus- tralian than any of the other ships
