A Prote,t Arain.t a Movie.

OMAHA, May 1s.--To the Editor Of The
Bee: ] want to voice a protest, through
your paper. against allowing institutions
like our "Gayety Theatre" to exhibit the
grossly misrepresented and exaggerated
rot depicted under the title OF Breaking
the Vice Trust"
Any man who has lived, who IL an OBJ
server and thinker, knows the sources
from which brothels recruit their mem-
bers and the causes which perpetuate this
blot on our civilization and that the prac-
tices claimed by the reformers who un-
earthed these facts" are not universal
and never will be unless the solid body
OF our people become insane.
Such overstatements which intensity
the emotions of the unthinking public
serve no useful end since they do not ap-
peal TO their judgment so why allow their
minds TO be debauched and inflamed en-
tirely for the profit OF film producers
and exhibitors
That men like DIR. Parfhurst. notorious
self advertisers and poseurs endorse and
recommend the aforementioned pro-
ductions to parents; that Mr.. Whitman
gives evidence to the facts" portrayed
by allowing his name and picture to be
used. proves nothing except the blindness
and weakness OF men generally
Someone ought to inform the world
who comprise the National Board OF
Censorship" II such a body exists for the
purpose which the title implies-and what
rules govern them in censoring film pro-
ductions, for the movie is a useful in
stitution and has come to stay. Let US

The Time for Action.

The time to eradicate dandelions Is in the spring
before the plant has had time to form seed The seed
spreads rapidly. blown by the wind The blossoms
should be close before they have TO seed,
and salt should be applied TO each root A man
be diligent in caring for his own lawn and
yet have seeds blown in from nelghboring lawns.
This is OF such Importance TO those desiring fine
lawns that it might be matter for community
action.
II the lawn is very full OF this weed it is too
tedious process to treat each plant by the salt
method In this two possible methods Of eradi-
cation may be recommended The first method is to
thcken the stand OF grass tend to crowd out the
dandeon The grass should be put into a vigorous
condition by top dressing with wellrotted manure or
fertilizer In the fall, and by reseedng in thin places
The second method. advised in extreme instances.
Is to start all again Plow up the lawn first or
spade It up WELL IL the is small generous
amount OF wel-rotted manure should then be worked
IN the SOIL but not fresh manure, for that is full OF
weed seeds ready to serminate. In case manure IS
not available, commercial fertilizers may be used.
Many lawn soils In need of lime. and 1t is
often wise plan 10 IT, especially II white clover
Is to be sown. After plowng the land should be
narrowed raked frequently to reduce 1t to good
seed bed condition. This will encourage the early
termination OF weed seeds with the subsequent ex-
termination of the seedlings. Thorough cultivation
this period will destroy the dandeon plants both
those come from roots and seeds. After follow
ing either of the two plans sketched here. the lawn
should be maintained in good condition by careful
moving rolling and watering.
