SERMONS IN MOVING PICTURES.

The idea of using moving pictures
to check certain abuses is not to be
questioned # the films are wisely made
and the effects are not SO vivid that
they excite an ambition on the part
of boys to initiate or excel them.
The suggestion that these pictures
be used to show up the perils of an
old Fourth of July is thus commented
upon By the Bridgeport Telegram:
The use of a moving picture film
to show the horrors of an orthodox
Fourth of July celebration viii doubt
less commend itself to many reform
ers who appreciate the dulness of the
average human imagination. Moving
pictures are vivid things, and perhaps
Il set of them would be effective in
frightening Tommy or Mary into
regard for their own lives and limbs,
after all other devices have failed. on
the other hand, there is just a little
danger that the dreadful incidents so
vigorously portrayed might stimulate
the spirit of imitation in not a few
imperfectly constructed Juveniles. The
presentation of terrifying scenes to
children is always an act of doubtful
propriety and it sometimes has bru-
talfzing, instead of civilizing effect
upon them
The possibilities of the moving pic
ture are great; but like all good things
used for effect. the effect may not be
exactly what was planned for or ex-
pected.

The DEMAND FoR CEMENT.

There is no doubt we are in the
dawn of the cement age, for there are
few industries that are growing more
rapidly in this country. The export
trade in cement in the past IS years
has been from $4,000 worth in 1855
to SEATS, 600 worth in 1910
The latest report from the depart
ment Of commerce and labor shows
that in 1855, 4,150o00 barrels of ce-
ment having a value of SO, 492, 500,
were manufactured this country. In
five years the production just about
doubled. In fifteen yeats the produc-
ton had grown to 1921, 15G barrels of
a total value in 1900 of S13,2S3.5S1. 1t
is in the decade since, however. that
the greatest development has taken
place The production was more than
doubled i'm the course of five years
ending with 1905. In 1909 it amount
ed to 653s9, S99 barrels of a total
value of s52,7s7,s7S.

after 1885. Then, as the native in

For Bead Embroidery,

China beads are much used in en-
broidery for all sorts of materials and
occasions. Lovely scarfs of messaline
have on the ends deep border done
in beads of different color. as tiny
white beads on pink scarf or pink
beads on white
Chiffon TUNES also have designs in
these beads and they have been used
on lingeri frocks of handkerchief lin
en- or null.
The work is done by hand and any
motif suitable for braiding can be Sc
leeted. By varying the size of the
beads, also the colorS, stunning effects
can be obtained with comparatively lit
tie work.
Be careful not to pull or draw the
material in working; also see that
each bead is sewed so tight that if
one goes the entire design is not a
wreck This can be managed by TAX
ing a tiny backstitch on under side OF
rails paste it first to tissue paper.
Smart looking parasols in colors are
finished with wide border of these
china beads.
An effective design for lingerie
frock would have the front of the
blouse closely embroidered. smaller
motifs on each side of back, deep
band around bottom of kimono
sleeves and an eight or ten inch band
on the skirt.
When working in bands have two
or more straight rows of beads on
each edge with the scroll design with

Sweet Smelling Linen.

There is nothing more refreshing
than to have the linen come from the
linen shelves SO sweet that it fairly
invites repose. The careful hous ewife
sees TO it that she has a supply of
small sachet bags OR pads we'll filled
with lavender; these are not expensive
if made at home, and the fragrance of
the lavender lasts very long time.
Those who have not tried it will
certainly be surprised to find what an
entirely different odor bed linen has
if it is folded up dry from the line
that is, used unironed. This is, of
course, practical only when the clothes
are dried out OF doors in the bright
sunlight. There is naturally preju-
dice against this plan on the part of
many. but a fair trial will convince
even the most skeptical.

a BILL TO SAVE WILD BIRDS.

Senator Mclean has introduced a
bill into the senate of the United
States for a nation wide closed season
for the wild goose, wild swan, wild
pelican. wild crane, wild duck .snipe,
ploveT. woodcoek or rail, from Janu-
airy 10 until August Is of each year.
Senator Mclean has announced his
intention to push the measure. Many
states already have recognized the
need for the protection of the migra-
tory game birds during the mating and
egg season. But the success Of such
state legislation has been largely null
lihed BY the failure Of other states to
take the protective measures The
birds may pass through several states
in their trip north in the spring With
safety because of the game laws. only
20 be shot in single state through
which they must pass because of the
lack OF protecting game laws.
This condition has suggested the
need for national legislation that VIII
afford protection in all states during
tho spring season. And Senator Nc
Leans bill is the fruition of the sug-
gestion, and when properly understood
Is expected to command the support
Of sportssnen generally.

upon rhe necessity for a national law,
