Sunshine, PIants-and Girls.

Sunlight is so important to life that
1t is little wonder hat sun worshipers
prevailed in primitive days. Plant a
potato in your cellar, and II there is a
little light the potato will sprout and
try to grow. Surround it with the best
fertilizer. water it, and do the best you
can for it except that you keep 1t in the
dark. and it cannot digest and grow.
See how slender and pale it is. The
process of digestion, the great function
OF assimilation. cannot go on without
sunshine. Natures laws are the same
in the animal world. 1t is just as true
that the only girls with red cheeks
and sweet breaths, the only girls who
become fully ripe and sweet, are those
who baptize themselves fully in glori-
Gus sunshine. The many pale girls who
are to be seen with a ~bloodless, half
baked sort of face, whose walk, whose
voice and whose whole expression is
devoid of spirit, are not half ripe

DESTROY FILMS
OF RENO FIGHT
American Owners Burn Jeffries-
johnson Pictures

In November, 1911, a moving pic
ture concern sent to South America
five films depicting the Johnson jeff
ries prizelight, which were appreciat-
ed particularly by South Americans
with dark strain in their ancestry.
The company in South America
that showed the films promised To re-
turn them at the expiration of their
contract with the American firm. The
films came back recently 10y the Lam
port and Holt liner Verdi and the GUS
toms men held them for action by
Solicitor Andrews, Notwithstanding
they were American products. While
the films were knocking around South
America Uncle Sam passed IL law pro-
hibiting the importation of any NOV
ing pictures illustrating pugilistic con-
tests" The law became effective on
July 81 last year,
The moving picture firm was noti-
fled that its films had been denied
entry" and that under the law they
would be returned to the person or
persons who had sent them hithcr. The
picture makers did not like this de-
cision a bit. as they believed the South
American exhibitors would take the
films over South America again and
make lot of money out of them In Il
second exhibition, from which the
, American firm would get nothing, 50
they applied for permission To have
the films destroyed under the direc-
ton of the customs authorities.
That is why there gathered the
other day in the furnace room of the
appraisers warehouse Appraiser Fred
orick A. Higgins, representatives of
the picture firm and of Solicitor NJ.
Andrews and the chief engineer of
the building. The door of the fur
mace was opened and the celluloid
films were showed in by the chief en-
gineer.

but brief There was n gcyscr Of

Of several thousand dollars to them.
About two months ago French
concern brought in a roll of films OF
a drama in which there was box
ing scene The experts inspected the
films and suggested to the importer
that If he cut out the boxing part he
would he permitted to bring to photu-
play in He said that the boxing con.
test was an essential part of the
drama. and elected to take 1t back to
France.
