MOTION PICTURE FILMS
ARE NOW CENSORED
Scenes of Crime, Brutality and De-
pravity Are Condemned and Cut
Out

To date the Board of Censorship
composed of Civic Bodies and in
stituted by the Motion Picture
Patents Company, which controls over
five thousand motion picture theaters
in the United States and go per cent
of the film product of the world, has
examined 200. 900 feet of film. After
the film has been approved it is re-
leased to the hundred licensed film
exchanges throughout the country who
distribute it to the theaters. A reel
OF film averages about one thousand
feet and includes one, two and some
times three subjects. Eighteen new
reels are released each week. At the
average speed of operation, IA separate
pictures pass the eye every second
that the machine is in motion. Thus
the censors have seen about 4619 miles
of film and at the rate of twenty
minutes running time for each thou
sand feet, and have looked upon 8, $50, :
900, 900 separate pictures.
Scenes depicting crime, brutality,
depravity. sensuality or drunkenness
are condemned and cuG out.
AT the last meeting only "a feet
out of IS, 900 feet examined were dis
tarded.
The manufactures study the dis
carded sections and do not repeat
similar errors. They have been quick
to realize the real demand and are
eager to supply it. 1t will be a
matter of but few weeks when they
will know exactly what is regarded as
good and what bad according to the
high moral standard of the Censorship
Board and will produce only such
films, thus leaving no further work
for the Board to do.

For the Users of the Highways.

The following information in re-
gard to the autmobile speed limit in
Wisconsin anu suggestions for the
benefit of all users of the public
highways we're clipped from an ex.
change and are thought worthy Of
reproduction in these columns on &C
count of the constant increasing num-
Der of automobiles in this city and
vicinity:
The speed limit in incorporated
cities and villages for automobiles
is twelve miles per hour and outside
of such places the limit Is twenty five
miles per hour. If you are driving,
horses on the highway and desire to
stop an automobile because of the
fright it causes to your team, raise
your hand as a signal of distress and
the driver of the machine is then
obliged to stop all motion CT the car.
If you canuot pass an automobile
without calling on the driver for
assistance, call on him and he will
assist you in getting your horses past
the machine.
Remember that automobiles have
equal rights upon ali highways Of
the state with other users of such
highways and no person shall obstruct
or impede the travel thereof.
