Over fifty thousand miles Of films
are said to be used yearly in moving
pictures. Not long since the church,
the school and the newspaper were
called the greatest factors in educa-
ton of the public. These must all take
a back seat, in some locations. to the
moving picture show. The agitation
for a censorship. strictly enforced, in
regard to public exhibitions Is a move
in the right direction. The moving
pictures have come to stay, and they
furnish economical entertainment to
vast numbers. Rightly conducted they
can add much to the sum Of human
happiness and knowledge. And right
ly conducted they should be by direc-
ton Of the powers that can control
them.

INDIFFERENCE TO DANGER

If a Titanic" sank every week in
the year the horror of even SO terrible
an event would shortly lose it's force,
save only for immediate relatives and
friends. What happens constantly We
grow to regard as more or less newt
able. Scarcely a day passes without
motor vehicles killing one or more per-
sons in each of our large cities. The
small space devoted to these accidents
in daily papers merely reflects the
apathy which prevails among their
readers. When the first few airmen
lost their lives, whether here or
abroad, columns were devoted to each
event, with full description of the
struggle in the air and minutest de-
tails of what followed. Your evening
paper tonight may devote perhaps four
or five lines to record of the death of
one or two a~viation-corps officers. The
local press will devote space to the
accident, but only because it was
strictly home news.
This complement or at least in
different view of what passes as in
evitable goes on or a time, until con-
ditions become SO bad that somebody
wakes up and calls on everybody to
sion and view tho awful wrack Thop
there Is a chance to improve or rem
edy things.-H. H. Windsor, in the
December Popular Mechanics Maya
