his house. I'm always going to travel
this way, from now on" he said.
And then, all of a sudden, some
thing happened. Mother Goose, who
was flying through the air on a broom
stick, accidentally dropped a paper ct
pins. They fell down with their sharp
points on Uncle Wiggily's balloons,
that were fastened to the clothes
basket. The balloons burst, Pop!

PROTESTS FEDERAL
FILM CENSORSHIP
Conference Of New York Mayors
Presents Brief to House,
Educational Board.

A brief protesting against the pro
posed Federal censorship Of moving
pictures was presented to the House
Committee on Education today on be-
half of the conference OF mayors OF
New York State. The brief was filed
by Edward A. Albee. secretary. Of Al
bany IL is asserted the mayors of New
York State believe the movies" shout
be censored by municipal authorities
and the existing national board of Ger
sors. and that Federal censorship Is uR
wise and unnecessary.
Secretary Albee. in submitting the re-
port of the conference, said:
"It contemplates with little short Of
horror this attempt 20 control by T.
politically appointed board one of thy
most important educational forces ant
one Of the most valuable means Of hu.
man expression. The enactment OF >
measure looRing to legalized Federal
censorship would be the first step to-
v-ard censorship of the press. The next
step would be censorship of the stage.
From the stage to the lecture platform.
and from the lecture platform to the
press would be but rela lively short steps
in comparison to thr one now contem-
plated"

Mouse Attempts to
Break Up Recital
Feminine Shrieks Blend With
Music at Museum as Tiny
Rodent Appears.

Just a little mouse. But Lady
Mouse almost silenced delightful
song recital and brought consterna-
tion and terror to many OF Washing
toms best known music lovers.
Lady Mouse crept silently into the
National Museum auditorium and sat
up to gaze at the fashionably gowned
audience. Few observed her entrance.
Charmed by the music Lady Mouse
crept a little closer TO the stage. Then
she darted across the aisle.
Clasps of CONSERVATION and sup
pressed shrieks all but Interrupted
the recital. The attention was dis
tracted from the .esthetic to the util-
itarian.
There was a hasty gathering OF
skirts about ankles, the more tlmid
frankly disposed of themselves in the
seats and sat Ottoman fashion.
Others hastily changed to elevated
positions.
What is it?' whipsered others who
had not seen.
"A mouse" passed from seat to seat.
And Lady Mouse, unmindful of the
stir she had caused, playfully gambol-
ed up and down the aisle as dozens of
eyes were focused upon her.
Masculine faces smiled while fem
inine hearts beat more rapidly than
the impassioned strains OF the love
song from die Walkuere" warranted
And 1t was not until the final en-
core was given that Lady Mouse dis
appeared.

Glenn Brown on Behalf
Of the Committee of 100
Issues Site Statement

Glenn Brown. chairman of the COM
mittee of one hundred, today issues the
following statement:
"A statement in the newspa pers of
the city conveys the impression that the
Potomac Electric Power plant has been
responsible for the protests against the
new Government heating and lighting
plant, at the foot of Fourteenth street.
In answer to this inference I wish to
make the following statement:
"The protests from Washington city
come from the committee of one hum

the growth of the Federal Capital ac-
oording to the Park Commission plan.
This plan calls for the eventual re-

it's present location.

that time to the proper execution OF

existence of the Potomac power plant
