MOVING PICTURE PROBLEM.
Pictures Have Great Influence On
Child Life---A Serious Question.

Ii is to be hoped that the movement
in women's clubs. to consider the
question of the influence of moving
pictures on child life, will result in
some practical method of control The
subject to be discussed at the General
Federation. meeting next month. and
the pressing necessity of dealing with
the problem is we'll summarized in the
description Of the present situation
that has been placed on its agenda by
tie Feneral Federation
In the last ten years motion pictures
have grown TO be the chief theatrical
entertainment for children, because Of
their inexpensivenesE and because they
can be seen in the daytime. But the
picture show in the ordinary picture
house is made primarily for adults.
with no thought of what children like
or need. Often they present themes
which mothers have every reason to
think may have q harmful effect on
children. Every day thousands Of
children 60 to moving picture shows.
There can be no doubt that the pic
lures they see are exercising an i'm
portant influence on the development
| Of childish character. They present
life wildly. and with q greater sense
Of actually than books.
The average child fully believes that
the life presented on the screen IS an
actual fragmen, of rea life. Often
the only glimpse Of larger life comes
from what he has seen in the moving
picture shows. The ordinary parent
would not permit his children to read
ali the popular novels that are printed,
but ne allows children to attend the
moving picture shows. where the most
intricate problems of social life are
presented in most realistic way to
the Childish mind At Congressional
hearings in Washington recently. on a
bill intended TO introduce censorship
Of moving pictures. one of the repre-.
santatives OF the motion picture indus
| try said that he had sent out an in
quiry TO exhibitors regarding the kind
| of film they preferred Many replied
that they preferred pictures that
were little off color, not because they
liked that kind. but because the public
demanded them
1t Is reported that the experiment
Of making pictures especially for
children mas failed. AS matter %
fact. the chief reason for censorship
! cf moving pictures is the effect the
/ film would have on the minds of
children. If the women's clubs OF
the country can act upon public senti'
ment in this matter. they will perform
q public service in which the future
Of the country is as really concerned
as the more advertised issues that ap
pear with sensational headlines in the
public press day by day. The Church

Fast Motor Boats
For Submarine Defense

That motorboats which could be us
ed in submarine defense should be sub
sidized has been suggested to the Navy
Department Fast motorboats armed
with from one TO three-pounder guns
are now recognized by naval authOri-
ties as so effective in attacking subma-
rines that it has occurred TO those who
are interested in the subject that they
should be called submarine destroy
ers. But the usual types of pleasure
and racing motorboats are not of SUI
ficient strength or seaworthiness to
carry guns ami stand rough service
that would be required for submarine
destroyers.
Navy officers who have investigated
thes ubject have about reached the
conclusion that the motorboats to be
of use to the Navy must be especially
constructed for warfare with subma-
rines. They do not believe that the
government should attempt to main
tain q sufficient number of motorbOats
for war and that private owners
should be depended upon to maintain
a reserve fleet OF submarine destroy
ers 1t is held that private owners
should be subsidized to enable them to
increase the cost Of building their
boats to meet the requirements of war
service II is understood that recon-
dations of this character will shortly
be submitted 20 the Navy Department

Leggins of Service Men
Offer Splendid Protection

The stout leggings worn by mem
hers of the Unied States Marine Corps
are rot purely decorative adjunct to
their very natty uniforms. as popular
ly supposed by civilians. but are pro-
lection for the men against tropical
diseases while in foreign service, ma
val surgeons say.
Many of the most dangerous tropi-
cal diseases are transmitted by the
bites CT insects Among these are
malaria. yellow-fever, bubonic plague,
hookworm, elephantiasis and tropical
ulcer. Fleas and mosquitoes are the
prime carriers and they make their
first attack upon the ankles. thence
working their way over the whole
body.
The leggings worn by the United
States Marines afford splendid protec-
tion TO the ankles against fieas, mos.
quitoes, and infected dirt.

Marine Corps Prime Factor for Peace

The pastors of number of orthodox
churches throughout Utah are co.
operating with the United States
Marine Corps recruiting officers in Salt
Lake City. Utah, in procuring recruits
for the military naval branch of Uncle
Sans fighting forces.
The clergymen are of the opinion
that the Marine Corps is prime factor
for peace in controlling situations
which, if badly handled, might easily
lead TO war. and points t. the Corps
recent operations in Cuba, Hayti, and
Nicaragua, in proof Of this contention.
1.-The men of the Marine Corps
have done more to avert war in the
last decade than all the peace societies
in America, said one of the clergy
men when asked about his recruiting
activities.
