THE Girl He Brought Home in two
parts" Is the latest Biograph release,
according to posters in evidence in front
of several photoplay houses. 1t must
be a companion film to the one Going
Home" in two reels, which the intoXi-
Gated man asserted could not be done.
The naming of films is as much an art
as the naming of a speaking play. why
Girls Leave Home" is crude and in
artistic, but 1t suited the melodrama
which 1t represented and aroused the
curiosity of those interested in this type
OF dramatic offering. The same princi-
pie applies TO the film. name to catch
the eye and arouse the imagination Is
worth many hundreds of nickels at the
box office. This assertion needs no PROOF
whatsoever.
On the other hand, too lurid name,
something to irritate the sight and dis
gust the finer senslbilities is apt to repel
the passerby who happens to take peep
at the six-sheet posters. AT the End OF
Perfect Day." an Essanay release, Is
Indicative of the poetic. The same thing
could mot be said of when Slippery

stated: "Over you will find schedule for

Waterloo July 2s.-That he legality
of Waterloo's new ji;ney ordinance
was to be tested in the courts became
apparent Tuesday morning when the
jitney operators prepared to make a
strong defense in the case of Clyde
Guynn, POI Ash street, who was taken
into custody Monday evening on a
charge of violating the principal Sec
lions of the new law Guynn is q
driver for the Flick cab line. Guynn
was to have been arraigned in police
court yesterday morning, hut it was
decided to. postpone the case until
Wednesday morning to give the attor-
neys an opportunity to become familiar
with the ordinance
Altho the attorneys made no state
ments in the court it was apparent
that two sections of the ordinance We're
to be attacked. The section defining
a jitney and the section requiring OPP
orators of jitney BUSES TO furnish
bonds are the two sections under fire.
A majority Of the men engaged in
the jitney business have discontinued
their jitrey signs and taxicap and bus
signs are now being used. Judge
Meyers announced yesterday morning
that it was his Interpretation of the
ordinance that the sign carried on the
