Regulating the Movies"

Regulating the Movies"
The introduction in the Minnesota
senate Of measure providing drastic
regulation Of the moving picture
theaters of the state has produced an
energetic protest from the managers
thereof. The measure is sponsored by
earnest and intelligent woman's or
CARNATIONS, and it's purpose is be-
You'd question a good one. The ques-
ton Is whether the bill may not be
80 severe in it's provisions as to mean,
II passed and enforced, tho practical
prohibition Of moving pictures thea
ters in this state.
There are some characteristics Of
the business of exhibiting photoplays
that put it in a class by itself. The
most important one is that its patron
age Is largely made up of children,
and the effect on the child-mind must
be carefully considered.
Nevertheless, some things are to be
remembered. The first is that ninety
eight per cent of the films made or
distributed in this country are first
passed on by the national board Of
censors. This board is not made up
OF representatives of the producers,
as some suppose, but of hundred
men and women chosen by the Peo-
pies Institute of New York and rep
resentatiye of the best thought OF the
country.
The greatest problem now is the
criminal" film, and experience has
shown that no hard and fast rules
can be adopted in solving it. Each
film must be judged by itself. If
crime is cut out entirely, only namby-
PANTY drama is left. Here are some
Of the principles applied by the ma
tional censors:
The story must be moral in it's
point of view-it must not glorify
crime or emphasize the rewards of
crime.
1t must not portray the methods
used so closely as to be school of
crime"
The horrible details must be omit
ted, or merely uggested-just as in
ordinary drama the homicide usually
takes place off stage.
All poisoning scenes are eliminated,
because of the ease and insidiousness
Of this crime.
The crime of arson may not be de-
picted.
Drunkenness in women and chill
dren is under the ban.
Films tending to hurt religious
feelings are barred.
No film may treat of case in pro-
cess of court trial.
These examples suffice to show that
the national censors are doing their
work we'll. They are making steady
progress. Can state board of CEN
sors, such as the present bill aims to
set up, help in this work, or would it
only hinder?
The practical objections made to
the bill by the managers Of moving
picture theaters should be carefully
considered. Regulation within reas-
onable limits may be needed, but sup
preston would be great mistake.
These theaters supply cheap recrea-
ton for the masses. With the recent
invention of q method Of reproducing
sounds as we'll as pictures and syn
chronizing the two, we are apparent
ly at the place of still greater and
more wonderful development. 1t isl

e4 your future CHRISTMAS re-
ESGy membrance would be COM
pleted in ample time, and un-
der lo circumstances would the next
Christmas season find you in a rush
and hustle, planning and finishing be-
lated Christmas gifts. What an idle
dream that was. for here it is Christ
mas time approaching again, and you
are racking your brain and attempting
to decide what to give at the eleventh
hour, in great hurry and turmoil.
Isn't 1t so?
What not to give, would be more
appropriate phrase. For in the selec-
ton of your gifts some regard has
to be given to the adaptability and the
utility of the present. A wise idea is
to spend more time than money in
thinking what would be suitable and
practicable for each individual. Your
gift would be all the more appreciated
If it expresses something of yourself
and shows that your own personal
thoughts have been bestowed upon
selection of the tokens.
The real essence of the Christmas
spirit is not expenditure. How easy
it is to purchase gorgeous gifts If one
has a well filled purse! But if the re-
cipient can buy the same article with
little effort, the gift idea will not be
remembered for very long. Let your
gifts be expressions of love and
thoughtfulness. The thought and time
you put in gifts of your own handi-
work will mean much more than if
you simply give something for the
sake of giving.
The cost of homemade gifts is gen
orally small. A multitude of gifts can
be contrived of materials you have at
hand. and of odd pieces of linen, rib
bons and silk. Clever fingers can
fashion charming novelties. Gladness
is the keynote of the Yuletide season.
Go at your tasks in a cheerful blith-
some manner, and you will find your
work one of joy, The following sug-
gestions may provide you with numer-
Gus ideas for attractive gifts, which
may be made ineXpensively.
With little effort dainty sachets to
perfume your friends gowns may be
made at very small cost. Make six
saehets in pastel shades of satin rib
bon about two inches square. Fill
fragrant sachet powder. Place the
sachets one on top of the other and
tie with narrow gauze ribbon. Gilt
safety pins are attached to each
sachet SO the bags can be pinned on
the different 'frocks.
One distinct novelty is a colonial
pin cushion. For this unique cushion
you will have to purchase Il glass can
dlestick in simple design. Cover
one side of four-inch square of card
board with some pretty silk which
harmonizes with the color scheme of
your friends bedrooms. Form
mound-like cushion of cotton on the
other side and cover with the silk
The cushion is fastened to the candle
stick by fine wires or thread. Around
the edge OF the cushion sew beaded
fringe about three inches long.
Another pin cushion has for the
foundation a four-inch wire tea strain
er. The back is fitted with disk of
cotton covered in cretonne. The wire
part is lined with flowered cretonne
and filled with cotton. Wind the han

die with narrow ribbon and finish
with pretty bow.
The girl away at college would sure
ly be overjoyed with shoe bag,
which she can hang inside her closet
door. The shoe bag should be half
the length of the door with compart-
ments for shoes, slippers and rubbers
and a long compartment on one side
for an umbrella. and on the other for
books not in use. The materials used
should be heavy denim with the COM
| partments bound in tape.
A pleasing notion would be to make
any articles for the girls away at col
lege in their college colors. A piece
of gay colored cretonne bound all
around with pretty braid would also
be acceptable as trunk cover.
Dear to every girls heart are pretty
dress accessories. The new Robes
pierre collars with jabots of frilly lace
certainly will be a welcome addition to
your friends wardrobes. The collars
are usually made of black satin with
the ruflles of lace about two inches
wide.
Chic boudoir caps are made of cir
with soft rufiies of narrow lace around
the crown. The ruffles should be made
in the back wider than in the front
to give the effect of Dutch bonnet
The cap is decorated with little pink
rosebuds and a band of pink ribbon.
Exquisite La France roses are made
out of folded satin ribbon in three-inch
lengths. Turn the ends back at the cor
ners to form the petals. Group the
petals together and join to a wire
stem which has been twisted with mar
row green satin.
A nat,-al looking bunch of yiolets
is formed of tiny bows of twisted yio-
let ribbon tied with green silk wire.
Hat pins, collar pins and buckles
, are wonderfully effective when COW

row folded ribbon grouped closely to-

satin filled with cotton, with petals
of green ribbon.

pleasure in receiving a pretty pair of
