Jean Ingelow CLEAN, BETTER FILMS ARE PROMISED Cleaner, better motion pictures are assured by the forming of the Association of Motion Picture Producers, Inc., of California. Some 90 per cent of the producers of films in the West have become identified with this organized movement to elevate motion picture standards. Will H. Hays is sponsoring the movement. It is proposed to raise the tone of pictures as to artistry—and there is much that well may be done along this line. The number of really great and good pictures has dwindled. Some which have fine possibilities in scenario, are botched in production. The public has become sophisticated as to quality of films. If there is lack of artistic merit, the film enthusiasts soon detect it. Pictures are to be improved morally, according to program of those who became identified with this betterment movement. The moral quality of films should be kept above question at all times. Pictures have widespread and tremendously strong influence. Immorality in pictures would be startlingly corrupting. This disastrous moral influence should be kept from the multitudes who attend motion picture theaters—especially the young. Educational values in pictures are to be enhanced, according to this plan of betterment. This is laudable. Films will be used more and more in teaching, in all probability. Historical, scenic and travel pictures of good quality have great educational worth. The person who does not read a newspaper regularly is out of the world to all intents and purposes. One must read a newspaper daily to keep well informed. Educational values in pictures are to be enhanced, according to this plan of betterment. This is laudable.

DIVEST CRIMINALITY OF ATTRACTIVENESS The young should be impressed with the shame, horror, futility of crime. The glamor should be stripped from sensational criminality. To this end, saffron journalism and saffron motion pictures should be discountenanced. These things present criminality to the young and the imrespionable in false and alluring colors. The desperate criminal is given a halo—at least, the unreasoning youngster gets this impression. Crime is regarded too indifferently today. There is not enough of that wholesome, deep-seated horror and loathing of criminality which was prevalent in the earlier days of this country. There should be a revival of that old-fashioned, but thoroughly commendable process of teaching children, around the family hearthstone, to abominate crime and to look upon it as an unthinkable disgrace to be criminal.

Offer (Subject) DINNER STORIES One of the stories John B. Gough was fond of telling concerned a laird and his servant Sandy. The two were on their way home on horseback late at night, and both were much muddled by drink. At a Ford where the bank was steep, the laird fell head first into the creek. He scrambled up, and shouted: "Haud on, Sandy! Something fell off—I heard it splash." Sandy climbed down from the saddle, and waded about blindly in the shallow water, with grasping hands. At last, he soiled on the laird. "Why, it's yerself, mon, as fell oof!" "No, Sandy," the master declared stoutly. "It can't be me—here I am." Then he added. "But if it is me, get me back on the horse." Sandy helped the laird to the house, and boosted him up astride. In the dark, the rider was faced the wrong way. "He put the reins," the master ordered. Sandy felt about the horse's head as fell off—nothing left but the mane! "Gie me the mane, then," the laird directed. "I must cane hae something to hold on." So presently when he had the tall firmly grasped in both hands, and Sandy had mounted, they began to move. Whereat, the laird shouted in dismay: "Haud on, Sandy! It's gacin't the wrong way!"

Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely bandished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhu, to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore instructed Heying's Pharmacy to dispense Allenrhu with the understanding that if the first pint bottle does not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without comment.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying DRIVES AGAINST CRIMINALS—(Santa Ana Register) Various cities have started the year with a spectacular round-up of crooks and criminals. If they were doing it with a view to isolation or correction of the offenders and the purging of society in general, it would be an excellent thing for everybody. As it happens, they are interested only in purging their own communities, and don't care what they do to others. Their solution of the problem is merely to "drive out" the criminal and vicious. Whereupon the outcasts, having to go somewhere, simply go to other cities to continue their nefarious operations as best they may. Clearly, the country as a whole gains little or nothing from merely herding undesirables around from city to city. Even the big cities, which do the most spectacular herding, as Philadelphia is doing now, seldom accomplish muck for themselves as a class, because they do not work together. And if they did, the effect would be to dump all the excluded riff-raff on the smaller communities, which want them even less than the big ones do. This, indeed, is the tendency at present, and every big police drive in a sectional metropolis sends the predatory residents out to prey on the smaller cities of the section. There is some good effect from this, no doubt, because criminals do not like to be driven around much more than honest people do, and the driving may discourage the faint-hearted among them and impel them to live a better life. But obviously the plan will not work with real effectiveness unless all the cities of the country, big and little, secure effective co-operation. We are still far from co-operation. Wherefore the best way is for every community to stop passing the buck and deal effectively and finally with its own criminals, shutting up the worst ones and adopting milder methods for those not incorrigible.
