WASHINGTON
Health Facts to Be
Taught People by
Experts With
Films.

Perhaps the most important an
nouncement in connection with mo-
ton pictures that has been made
recently has come from the United
States Government which has recog-
nized the great value of the film as a
means of spreading information among
the people. They arc to be utilized
for the spread of public health infor-
nation. This recalls the fact that the
greatest encouragement given the in
ventors of projecting machines al
most twenty years ago came from
the Government. c. Francis Jenkins,
a Washington man, who was one Of
the inventors who Iirst perfected a
machine to project ife-sized motion
pictures on Il screen. was gwen the
greatest help in his work by the De-
partment of Agriculture, which pro-
posed TO utilize film for the ftudy of
plant life and the exposition OF
proper methods Of growing plants.
In the present instance i series OF
photop.ays is to be prepared and u
number of scenic pictures made ur-
der the direction of DIR. William c.
Rucker of the Marine Hospital and
Pubic Health Service, which will be
used throughout the country. DIR.
Rucker IS enthusiastic over The plan
and intends to make motion pictures
part OF the regular work Of the
service.
1T Is my plan to popularize public
health and hygiene IN all walks Of
life," DR.. Rucker said. And the
most effective means of accomplish
ing this end Is through the motion
picture. At present / have at my
disposal a mile of film which pre-
sents subjects and problems which
interest some and assist others. A
part of this gives concise account
Of the work now in progress III this
service. containing many scientific
and instructive topics that may be
carried into the iomes, the hospitals
and the colleges.
The problems that confront the
big hygienic laboratory Of the nation
at Washington are touched upon.
The explanations necessary for the
sale of anti-toxins, serums, ard vac
cines in Interstate traffic tell the
story OF Uncle Sans caution in tyis
direction. This is in Itself so vast
a subject that 1t will be given greater
detail in future reels.

station will interest everyone, espe-
cially the feminine public Com

Every one of the new clothes shows
such a perceptible widening at the hips
that the fat omen have ceased to

their dressmakers to be sure to get

OF course. there is the same feeling
against real obesity as there has ever
been, and the same distinction is made
between the relative beauty of curves
and pillows. There is an unbridgabIe
gap between pleasing and proper plump
ness and mountainous flesh. The for

between the latter and the styles of any
time.
All this change in feminine figure has
brought about a change in the spring
stays. They are no longer the straight

sometimes rebellious frames.
There is slight outward curve of the

The straight front is gone.

What is good to remove mOleS?
DO you consider girls of four

you could never love?

Nobody in the world can tell you

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON.

Fred Gilmore, fighter, fight man
ager, son of Harry Gilmore, the vet
eran trainer and manager of fighters,
is coming back. Young Gilmore's ex-
pertinent with himself is one of the
most interesting developments in ring
history of years. Let it not be sur
prise if Fred Gilmore is welterweight
champion of the world inside of the
next year.
If Gilmore succeeds in his expert
ment and attains the championship to
which he aspires, it will not surprise
me to have him go straight to the
front and hold the title.
Fred Gilmore was trained as box
er from babyhood. He threatened to
go into the front ranks of the feathers
before he was Is years old. He fought
dozen or more battles, then decided
to retire from the ring and devote his
time to managing other fighters. Now
he has decided to come back, and,
after hard preliminary training, is at
work in the gymnasium getting ready
to meet the best of his class at 141
pounds, ringside, or four hours be-
fore.
1t may look like foolish move, but
it is not Fred was trained under his
fathers direction. Harry Gilmore is
one of the old school of fight devel-
opers.
Fred developed into one of the clev-
crest gymnasium fighters in the
country. He was fast, clever, shifty.
In the gym he could hold his own, or
do better, with champions. But when
he went into the ring he changed. He
did not seem to be able to untrack
himself. He lost his stiffness and
cleverness and looked bad. Remem-
Der he was only kid. The shouts
and the excitement upset him.
Gilmore knows he is smarter,
brainier and more experienced than
most fighters. He is starting as Jim
