what they shall have," Councilman Steiner quickly came back with.
 Well I don't think that I am in a position to speak on the public morals of the city," said Councilman Porter.
 Councilman McDonough said there was a legal question involved. He claimed that the picture must be shcW1 before 1t can be consid ere1 un- fit. Councilman Porter than repllel that l'v these statements h. accepted it that a person must be afflicted with infantile paralysis before he could be kept out of the city.
 School Board Defended.
 In defending the school board for not appearing at the hearing, Coun- cilman Porter said that this body evil dcntly believed that their position was shown clearly in their lotter to the council and there was nothing to be gained by attending the hearing.
 Concllman Steiner criticised the at titude of the school boarl in ign~ring the meeting and not doing anything to assist in the solution of the prob lem. He did not believe that the ordinance committee was selected WILL li1S NlGW OI US HaVluSo LO lake suggestions from the school board on how to transact it's affairs.
 Councilman McDonough took the parting shot at the school board when he said, "The letter or petition of the school board to the common council explains the views of that body, but it should be remembered tna. they are not by any means infalliole. If you members will jog your memories little recent occurrences will show where this same school board makes mistakes
 After considerable delay in which the members seemed to wait for the other to make a motion, CounciIman McDonOugh moved that 1t be 1ecom- mended that an ordinance be drafted which would prohibit the showing of any pictures in local houses other than those passed by the national board of censors Councilman Por- ter amended that the matter be tabled and that more time be asked from the council to consider the ma.Iar. At this juncture Councilman Arata sug- gested that progress be reported to the council. The amendment of Councilman Porter prevailed and the meeting adjourned.

 Manager Hallaby.
 George Hallaby, manager of the Scenic, was the last speaker. He did not throw much light on the sub ject other than to say that the giving of a childrens Saturday matinee would be injurious to him, because his theater was "only five cent house." He was informed by the chairman that the hearing was to de- termine whether a censor was needed for local pictures and not to discuss finance. He was excused.
 A brief recess was taken by the members.
 When the hearing was resumed Chairman Mueller said that he be- lieved that the common council had picked out a difficult job for the com mittee. Councilman Steiner added that the only information he got at the hearing was the way P. S Me- Mahon ran his theater.
 Councilman Porter said that he be- lieved that If a censorship committee was formed, the national board of roview would report to 1t. At present there is no head or tail to the situa tiOn. If the committee has the power tc go ahead and draft an ordinance which will provide for better morals in the city it should do so. He spoke of the power invested in the board of health and the doctors to look after the physical health, sor someting should be done to look after the moral health of the city. In this way the morals will be better conserved and the reputation of the city along those lines will be greatly increased.
 Councilman McDonough asked the former speaker if he meant by his re- marks that they were to be given the power to go ahead and say what was and was not right. Councilman Porter said he believed that this was so.
 Councilman Steiner said he didn't believe a censorship was going to do much good, and before he voted for such a project he would have to "be shown"
 Again Councilman Porter spoke about the city being without anyone to receive reports regarding the here.

 "No, can't say that I have" Coun- cilman Porter replied.

 ''JolIying'' the Censors.
 Councilman Porter gave the board some of his experiences while con- nected with moving picture produc- ton several years ago. According to his own statements his duties con- sisted of getting to'' the censors and "jollying them along during the

showing of the films. '"The first time they came 1t was Rt. Rev. this and Rev. that and Dr. so and so, but later it was their secretary or office boy that came to censor the picture,' he said.
 Yes, and this would be the same outcome with the proposed local cen sor board," was Councilman Mo- Donough's rejoinder.
 Speaking in regard to what was | considered moral and immoral in pictures, Chairman Mueller said that l while out-of-town recently he wit nessed "A Woman's Honor" which he did not consider merited removal from a theater, but which he would rot recommend for children. The law which governs moving picture houses against allowing ch1l- dren under 16 years to attend without being accompanied, by older persons was discussed Councilman Me- Donough said if the board of education was on its job it would see to it that children of school age were in attend ance five days week.
 The manner In which the moving picture houses are conducted in
 
 letter to the committee from the sec retary of the national board of review c" motion pictures. Tn that city Ser geant Richard Gamble is assigned to the task of viewing all films shown which have been passed by the na- tlonaI board of censors. The letter refers to a newspaper clipping quoting Judge B. F. Gaffney as saying. the pictures are badly doctored after leaving the censors. The secretary denies that such has ever been found Councilman McDonough said he un- derstood that a law Is now being ar ranged by a committee from congress which would make a local board of censors unnecessary. He also pointed out that the mayor and chief of police have the right to prevent the showing oi' any picture which they consider morally unfit.
 Alderman Jester asked what was done in case where the censors did not agree whether it was unfit. Councilman McDonough said that as long as a picture had not been con- demned it was permissible to show it.
 Councilman Porter asked if the sense of the meeting was that the committee thought there should be a censor board but didn't know how to go about it. Councilman Steiner said that when Councilman Landers stated in the council that the local body was undertaking a proposition that has perplexed some of the ablest men in the country including the federal au- thorities, he was undoubtedly correct. Councilman McDOnOugh said a perus- al of the roster of the censor board will show that some of the brainiest men are on it and an ordinance com mittee or a common council did not measure up bright enough to tell what was right and what was wrong.
 Councilman Porter said, We are asked by fair and intelligent body of citizens to draft this ordlnance.'

SUDDEN DEATH


The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies
and the cause is often given as heart
disease, or disease Of brain or lungs.
