U. S. EMERGING FROM
BUSINESS DEPRESSION
Secretary Red6eld Says This Country
Got Of Easier" Than Rest
of the World.

Secretary of Commerce Redfeld, in a
statement yesterday asserted that while
business depression has existed in the
United States to a slight degree during
the recent period of world wide de-
preston, this nation has received no
more than its natural share.
The United States was the last of
the nations to enter the world wide
depression, felt it the least, and now
is emerging first" says the Secretary.
The dizziness of trade and industry is
Psychological. just as President Wilson
says it is, and reports and figures will
show this"
The testimonials of prosperity are begin
ming TO pour in at the Department of
Commerce, Mr.. Redfield declared. A
revival of business is being felt all
over the country. Railroads are re-
porting increased car loadings. and.
the Secretary says, the entire country
is responding TO better conditions.
other nations have suffered longer
and worse" continues the Secretary.
France, Germany, Canada. and even
Great Britain have been more affected
by the period of depression than the
United States, and conditions in those
countries contradict the commonly as
signed causes of depression. Germany,
the greatest trust country in the
world, France with no trusts. and
Brazil with high protective tariff, all
have suffered"

PICTURE PLAY CONTEST.
What the Moving Picture World
Says of The Herald's Plan.

What Kind of Moving Pictures do
You Likef' is the question being asked
the public by the Washington Herald on
its moving picture page, and blank is
provided for the writing of the reply.
The paper states that in this way II Is
giving fits readers an opportunity to tell
the moving picture manufacturers Just
what they want. All coupons must be
signed and only one will be accepted
from each reader. Coupons will be print
ed each day for thirty days and at the
end of that time they will be classified
and just what the movie fans" or
Washington want will be determined.
The newspaper then will take the matter
up direct with the ilm manufacturers,
the local exchanges and the exhibitors
Of Washington. The blank contains the
following classes for which the reader
may or may not signify a preference
''one, two. and three-reel comedies; one.
two and three-reeI dramas; one. two ana
three-reel social dramas; educational
flmns: serial pictures; features Of three
or more reels; weekly news pictures" as
well as Il prefer a show consisting or
- reels of pictures" This scheme
seems to have the approval OF the ex-
hibitor and the exchangemAn and con-
siderable interest, IT is said, is being
manifested by the general public. Al
least, IL is keeping the business in the
notwithstanding the fever. one might
say, and the more publicity Of this type
that can be given, the better. The
Herald. according to all accounts. in its
heeting views. etc. is playing fair with
the exhibitors as well as giving interest
ing material to the public, even though
its moving picture editor sometimes runs
on the track. BY its tactics The Herald
and the aforementioned editor is receiv-
ing the support Of all those interested"

Fleeing Views.


Whatever may be the advantage Of
having q moving picture theater well
lighting during the winter months-and
II Is fact that almost all OF them are
wen lighted with q subdued indirect
lighting system-there can be no ques-
ton but that the darker II In. the cooler
II will be at the present time-and the
theater manager, who can advertise cool
ness. will have more business than he
can take care Of A room Is not only
cooler because Il has no artificial light
In IL. but II apears to be very much
cooler than 1t really IT, I had occasion
to notice that yesterday at the Virginia
theater. had some Inconvenience in
getting into a seat because the place
was in such black darxness-but once
settled. I realized how much cooler Il
appeared TO be than the houses which
are comparatively well lighted.
Our Query" Editor receives about ten
| letters a week requesting Information
on the subject OF feature films-the really
fine ones-and why they are not shown
to greater extent in Washington thea
tiers. The answer Is plan: The people
of Washington have not yet been edu-
Gated to the fact that they must pay a
fair price for what they receive. they
are unwilling to pay ten cents to see a
picture show of four or five reels They
are unwilling to pay twenty-five cents
to see a program of a great feature hlm
and two or three other reels Of pictures.
Yet they want all of the big productions
that they see advertised. / don't think
anyone in Washington wants to see the
picture play business descend to the
store show of a few years ago with
hot. unventilated. uncomfortable little
boxes Of places-miserable Rccommoda-
tons for the comforts OF patrons and
pictures projected In the most uneven
and jerky way-and only one or two
pictures constituting a show-with a long
wait between them. Yet we gladly paid
FIVE cents for that. Why shouldn't We
pay several times five cents for the COM
forts and conveniences the managers of
the local movie houses furnish US with.
When the public regards the photoplay
game as the serious and earnest business
enterprise IL is. and when they are will
ing to support IL in the way II should
be supported, then they may expect the
Washington exhibitors to heed their re-
quests for better service and better pic
lures. At the present time both service
and pictures are about one hundred per
cent In excess Of the price paid for them
What il supposed to be the longest pro-
lection in the world for motion pictures
will be that at the motion picture show
in conjunction with Marcus Loew's spec
tacular entertainment at Ebbett's Field.

Only short halt was made here. for
Gen. Hunter wished to gain Bufords

His advance came up with the Federal
rear guard before It left Liberty, but
the Federals were sufficiently superior
in cavalry to hold II at bay for two
hours. The fighting on the Federal side
fell on Gen. W. w. Averell's troopers
When finally driven from Liberty they
had lost ~ men. The time they had
gained for the infantry was invaluable
for, after a hard days march on the
18th, the whole force reached Bufords
Gap. which had been secured in advance
by a strong cavalry division under Gen
A. n. Dune. Once in the gap, the Fed

Averell. before Joining Hunter, had left
his mark In a dashing raid-the Fed

climb OF the other outlying ridges OF

Their cavalry held Bufords Gap until
the infantry was well on its way to

to Newcastle fell upon a train that had
not been properly guarded, and cap
