ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. S.-Atlanta
yesterday took her place beside Paris
as one of the cities Of the world in
which an entertainment with a per-
fectly nude woman in it can be shown
to a mixed audience, and without
scandal.
OF course it was motion picture
nearly all entertainments are these
days-and it was clean picture, abb
solutely free from suggestiveness as
an antique Greek statue, but the
startling fact remained that in many
OF the scenes which were taken close
up to the camera and with perfect
light, the beautiful young woman star
not only appeared, but strolled leis-
urely around as absolutely naked as
she was the day she came into the
world.
1t wasn't any double exposure or
d.ssolving outline, or semi-vision eff
feet such as made the figure in "Hyp-
ocrites" mere disembodied wrath
it was closeup direct photography.
Because 1t was clean picture from
a moral standpoint, the censors pass

ed it. The audiences which saw the
picture were composed of eminently
respectable ladies and gentlemen
and incidentally anybody who could
pay nickel-and nobody was shock
ed OF scandalized, but to say that they
were surprised at some of the scenes
w,uld be putting it too mildly.

WHY WE NEED A BELT LINE

THE railroads, thru extortonate switching charges,
are diverting to Tacoma large volume of
commerce which should pass thru this port
Three groups of railroads control the water
front, the Oregon-Washmgton and Milwaukee on
the south, the Northern Pacific in the central or
"old hamlet section, and the Great Northern at
the north.
None of these railroads loves the other.
Hence, shipper pays THREE SWITCHING
CHARGES in some instances to transfer a car of
freight from the Milwaukee terminals to Smiths
Cove or Ballard and vice versa.
Switching conditions are in terrible chaos
here, and have been for years. Some shippers are
exempted from switching charges and others are
soaked double.
The Port of Seate's magnificent public
wharves lose a large volume OF profitable bust
ness thru these discriminatory charges. Almost
four years ago the Port Commission tried to per-
suade the railroads to form single terminal COM

and did nothing

ton Of Amateur Athletics OF America.
This association has suggested the

zations have accepted invitations to be

YALE FEELS NEED OF
SUCCESSOR TO CAMP

New Haven. Ct Dec. 5.-In a critical
analysis of football conditions at Yale,
H. II. Ketcham, captain of the 1913 team,
writing in The Yale News. attributes the
difficulties of the past two years largely
to the lack OF system, and suggests that
before there can be success on the grid
iron there must be found one who can
adequately fll the position left vacant
by the retirement of Walter Camp.
The first step in attaining better con-
ditions he believes has been the cur
tailment of the powers OF the captain
who has heretofore been considered
the king of football at New Haven.
intercollegiate athletics, according to
his point Of view. are on an unsound
foundation, with the paid coach and the
spirit of win at all costs, Still with the
existence of such a feature in college
sport he contends that Yale must fall
in line and acciimate herself to the Sit
uation as it has now developed rather
than seek to change the existing state
OF affairs. He deplores the attainment
Of such power as Haughton wields At
Harvard. but admits that It produces the
best result for the present, thought II
tends to make college sport a business
proposition.
Walter Camp having retired from the
field of football at New Havsn. Ketch-
am suggests that the men best suited to
act In like advisory capacity are Dr.
Williams. OF Minnesota, and Al Sharpe,
of Cornell. Foster Rockwell, who was
captain and quarter back on a Yale team
of a dozen years ago. is also mentioned.
ketcham believes that an ideal conn
bination would be to have Dr. Williams
and Rockwell as his assistant.
