GASOLINE SHORTAGES IMPROBABLE

MOVIE" MEN FIGHT CENSORSHIP

The Motion Picture Exhibitors League of Penn
sylvania which organized in the convention of
exhibitors held in this city last January is about to
have introduced in the House of Representatives
bill calling for the repeal of the law which created
the present state board of censors which has been
actually at work since last June The exhibitors
maintain that the law, which requires the payment
of fee for every film submitted TO the for
their approval places an extra financial burden on
the manufacturers and indirectly on the exhibitors
and provides Safeguards for the public morals
which the motion picture men do not regard as
necessary.
The advocates of the repeal of the censorship law
contend that the pictures can be kept decent
without censorship. They say that warrant can
be sworn out for any manufacturer or exhibitor
who puts out indecent pictures They maintain,
moreover that the censorng of motion pictures cur
tails free expression and that there is no more rea
son why pictures should be censored than that the
matter printed in newspapers should all be sub
jected first TO board of censors for their approval
The exhibitors take the ground that the decent
theatre men will eliminate improper pictures vol
unfairly and that the indecent theatre men will be
curbed by public sentiment and be compelled by
that influence TO show only what is proper The
pupic itseI constitutes BOARD or censorship, the
picture men maintain which is of sufficient influ-
ence TO cause the elimination of improper pictures
IN the few eases where indecent exhibitors may try
.io present such pictures.
The Legislature will do well to consider the argu-
nents of the motion picture men when it takes up
the repeater for consideration. Pennsylvania is one
pf the very few states that have legalized censorship
pf films, and if the exhibitors can prove that GEN.
borship in this state has done little more than to
place an increased financial burden ON the men who
provide this most important kind of popuar-priced
amusement, the lawmakers would do well to re.
move the burden. There are great many motion
picture theatres in the state that are struggling for
existence by reason of federal state and municipal
axes, and they are entitled to be relieved of the
financial burden of censorship if it can be shown
that censorship is superfluous

ing processes are worked out and the quality and
quantity of the products of industries determined.
Investigators in the laboratories of private corpora
tions make valuable discoveries and monopoies re-
suit Government scientists develop important pro-
cessses and they free for the use of all, as
Secretary Lane puts it.
With the demand for gasoline for motor cars,
motor boats and stationary engines now increasing
rapidly, the development of the process for multi
piled production surely comes opportunely. Fear
has been expressed at times that sources of gasoline
supplies might be exhausted with continuance of
the great demands, but the assurance now comes
from Secretary Lane that the new process gives
hope that there will be no shortage at any future
time and that it will not only be of value to re6ners
with limited capital but also to the users of the
product who patronize the industry to the extent
of from $100,0O0,00O to $l50,0O0.0O0 annually.

NATIONAL DEFENSE INVOLVED

The process discovered by DR.. Rittman for OBJ
tanning from crude petroleum the necessary ingre-
dients for high explosives which have formerly been
imported from Germany and England where they
are made from coal tar has special Importance with
respect to the matter of ouE national defense, at
least theoretically. We fortunate in not having
a strong demand in this country for high explosives
with which to annihilate enemies, yet should such
demand ever arise we would not now be dependent
on importations for supplies of the ingredients,
Germany, according to reports, is now in such a
position that, although it cannot freely get raw
materials for the manufacture of explosives. it has
nevertheless the ingenuity of skilled scientists upon
which to depend for the development of processes
by which needed products can be obtained from
chemicals of which the empire has a plentiful
supply.
The Laboratories conducted by the United States
government are not now pressed by any immediate
need for the discovery of processes for the manu-
factrTe of high explosives, yet it is well that re-
searches are progressing with slowness and sure
that results may be available whenever needed.
The report from Washington of the valuable dis
covery is another slap at the pessmSm of the patent
office employe who some decades ago resigned from
his position because he feared that all possible dis
coveries had already been made and that the patent
office would soon have to close up for lack of ad-
ditional entries.

EXITS AND ENTRANCES

AS inspectors of the Department of
Labor and Industry have been making
inspections throughout the State, they
have observed frequently hack of at
tention to exits, entrances and passage
ways. Too often too little attention has
been given to see that these plsces are
free from distractions, or would offer
danger in case the occupants of build
ing, panic-stricken by fire or accident,
would make rush for the outside.
Frequently passageways have been used
as store houses. Ladders, standing or
lying down, cleaning apparatus, tools,
trunks, boxes and refuse of all kinds
are left there. No thought is given to
the fact that these articles might cause
people on occasions of excitement, to
stumble and fail. Others pressing on be-
hind them would trip over them, and
serious injury might result to many per
sons.
Two instances, which were noticed
recently during inspections of factories
by inspectors of the Department of
Labor and Industry, are worthy Of
note:
In one case, an inspector was on the
upper floor of factory building and
he noticed door leading out TO an
overhead bridge to another building
On testing the door latch, he found this
open, and started to walk across the
bridge. The manager, who was accom-
panying him at that time, became very
much excited, and calling loudly, said:
Come back. Don't go out there;
there are some broken boards on that
bridge, and YOU might fall through
The fact that this bridge was in a
dangerous condition was something
which never should have been permit.
ted. Any employe who had no knowl
edge of this condition might have, un.
noticed, made an attempt to walk
across that bridge. His ignorance, fol-
which he could not be blamed, might
have cost him his life. Until repairs
had been made so that the bridge was
safe, all doors leading to it should have
been nailed or fastened shut to prevent
possible danger to any person.
In another instance a factory was
located in the second and third floors
of building, and the only stairway
for exit and entrance ran from the see
ond story to the street at the side of q
store room. Immediately in front of the
stairway at the bottom, and directly
behind the entrance door, was located
an elevator shaft. Persons who entered
and left that building had to use this
stairway, and were in danger of being
hurt by the elevator, as they had tc
pass directly over the floor of the ele
ator if it was at the street level. II
the elevator had been descending at the
time person opened the door to enter
the stairway, one step forward would
no doubt have meant instant death tc
that person. Likewise, there was q
similar danger to people leaving the
building by this stairway, unless they
had made special note of the location
of the elevator. Such condition was
inexeusable, and instructions were i'm
mediately given the management tc
