Instructive Use for Films.

Moving pictures have come to play a
prominent part in the amusement of the
American public. and, like all other ideas
which meet with public appreciation.
great strides have had to be made TO
amuse the public With an enterprise
which is typical of this age, the moving
picture men have provided all sorts of
novelties, and no event of any magni-
tude throughout the civilized world to-
day passes without the presence of NOV
ing picture machines to perpetuate the
scenes
While the moving picture is intended
primarily for the amusement Of the pop
ulace recent happenings have indicated
that 1t is being put to uses which make
the invention one of paramount impor-
lance in the education of the people and
one which may play a prominent part
in the physical welfare of the people in
years to come.
One might briefly sketch the lines of
activity aside from that of mere amuse-
ment, along which the motion picture
men are working. In the first place mo-
ton pictures are now being used to teach
good manners to royalty, as well as TO
persons possessing less 'blue blood in
European countries. and the idea might
well be used in this country, too. A
doctor in ST Louis made the prediction
that in a few years no medical college
of any prominence would be without its
own special moving picture apparatus to
teach young doctors or students vital
medical truths. Children of poor par
ents, as well as the parents themselves.
are getting a wealth of information from
the splendid motion pictures which are
often displayed in the open air at night
in public parks and by playground as
sociations throughout the country.

WANT AID HOROSCOPE.
APRIL 20.

The character of Alexander II of Rus
STA. who was born April g, 1918, is a
good study for a person with similar
birthdate.
He was most carefully educated and
his father subjected him to all the rigors
of military discipline.
He shows the tremendous courage
which is given by the governing planet
of the birthdate. The great achievement
of his reign was the freeing of 900 900
serfs in 1861.
His achievements show what disci-
pine, self-denial, and education may do
for a person who struggles against the
difficulties of the Taurus born.
Anger is the weakness Of persons of
this birthdate.
They should remember that every ex-
hlbition of temper in man is a minia-
ture cyclone and its path of destruction
is limited only by surroundings.
This is the day for skilled journeymen
and expert engineers to search the Want
Ads for positions.
