grades fixed in those countries would
mean exactly what they said. So
cargo entitled toSthe full benefit of
a given grade would be shaved in
price, IL It were American, for fear
IL might be rated too high.
American cotton suffered in the
same way. There was too little ac-
curacy and real significance to
grades set on the fiber, and IT in
jured the price at which American
cotton sold abroad. Congress, rec
ognizing this evil, passed the cotton
standards act; the Department of
Agriculture, after the most careful
study, fixed standards, and the other
day II was announced that Holland
had adopted these as official in that
country. Instead Of being suspect
ed, American standards have been
made the worlds standards, so far
as Holland is concerned; Egyptian
and Indian and ell the rest OF the
cotton will have to be judged by
American ratings, instead Of Ameri-
can being judged by other standards.
OF exactly the same character is
the grain standardization act just
passed. For a decade or more the
Department Of Agriculture has been
making studies preliminary to es-
tablishing grades and officially en-
forcing them. The preliminaries fin
ished, the law has been enacted
which provides for their enforce
ment. Federal officers will inspect
and grade grains, and, presently,
from being the worst graded and
most uncertain cereals in the worlds
markets, Americans will be the best.
It means more assurance to the pro-
Queer about the value Of his product,
more confidence in everything Amer
lean, more opportunity to expand
our commercial field abroad. Stand
ardization of gasolene is another
move in precisely the same direction,
advantageous alike to producer, con-
sumner, and edaler, calculated to bet
ter the market both at home and
abroad. The business Of establish
ing and enforcing proper standards
has only begun; it cannot be pushed
too rapidly, provided the work is
we'll done.

CASINO

In the Return Of Eve" which II
presented as the chief feature of tho
program at the Casino for the first half
of the week. Edna Mayo contributes the
most important work she has ever done
as photoplay actress and the Essanav
company onet OF the most charming
idyllis photoplays that have been ex-
hibited here.
While the play as q whole Is excep-
tionally well produced II Is the work Of
Miss Mayo In the first part that calls
for the most substantial praise. Two
children have been adopted by q mil
lionaire and sent to live in a vast tract
OF wild country under the care OF a
learned tutor who has been instructed
to bring them up as Adam and Eve
were brought up.
At the time OF the death Of the mil
lionaire they are returned TO civiliza-
unfairly flee from the world and back
to their Eden. Miss Mayo realized the
part OF the happy, innocent. naively
curious Eve in the first part of the
play in a way that left absolutely moth
ing to be desired. Her work through
out was excellent, but this particular
bit was by far the best she has ever
done.
Eugene O'Brien appeared as Adam.
and the remainder of the cast was
carefully chosen. The production was
entirely out of the ordinary. In~addi-
ton to the feature the Pathe News ~
showns, and Miss Naeker sings between

OUR ARCHITECTURAL EvoLU-
TON

Washington's old City Hall is to
be remodeled, with its exterior lines
and appearance unchanged. Archi-
tects have termed the historic struc-
ture one Of the purest specimens Of
the Greek architecture to be found in
Washington. Plentiful as are pub
lie buildings here, those that meet
the full requirements of the archi-
tectural purists are. too few. =
One of these is the Treasury. To
change the exterior Of that building
would be a calamity. The unfortu-
nate feature about the Treasury is
its location, with the Pennsylvania
avenue front lower than the grade
Of the street.
Another is the Smithsonian build
ing. Its beauty is of a different
sort. When the northern European
tribes tried to equal the beauty of
Greek architecture, the first diff
Guilty was encountered in the neces-
sity for roofs, which the sunny
cline of Greece did not need. It
took a long time for the Norman
and Gothic builders to evolve a roof
which would not be an eyesore, and
the methods by which they did this
are illustrated admirably in the
Smithsonian structure.
The architectural development Of
Government buildings here under
went an interesting evolution. At
first beauty seemed the sole consid-
GRAFTON and utility negligible. In
the reaction against this, which
came slowly, we have in recent
years such structures as the Com
merce Department building, little
different from an office building.
Now architects are demanding
that our public buildings be monu-
mental as well as efficient for bust
ness purposes. In the new Interior
Department building, and others yet
to be built, the lovers of Washing
ton beautiful may hope to see this
happy combination.

A FILM CENSORSHIP PLATFORM

Without discussing the merits of
the COMMISSIONER action in pro-
hibiting a particular motion picture
production, the attitude of Commits
sioner Brownlow, as set forth in The
Times yesterday, toward motion pic
ture censorship, must commend it
self to everyone having the good Of
the public and the motion picture in
dustry at heart.
Censorship is intolerable always
because it is necessarily a matter of
discretion, and usually Of individual
discretion. People who are con-
tinually dealing with delicate prob
lens cannot err if they lean toward
the side Of safety rather than con-
troversy.
Il is not possible for any indi-
Ndual always to choose that which
another shall think, or>hear, or see,
or wear. 1t is a destruction of indi-
vdual liberty to pretend that such
q thing can be done. At the same
time it is within the police power
TO prevent that which the police
powers think is injurious to the
moral health of the community.
Courts have so decided time and
time again.
Censorship is abhorrent, but there
Is no reason for censorship if ex-
hibitors and producers Of film plays
VIII refrain from offending. For all
the motion picture censorship, reck-
less producers and exhibitors have
been to blame. There would not be
the slightest occasion for censorship
II these men exercised proper dis
erection in selection and exploitation
o ftheir product. Taht they did not,
has started all the controversy.

The production of a photoplay like

go far toward bringing to the support

port OF the substantial men and women
who seek wholesome. honest amuse-
ment. well presented. The Triangle
Company. in the making OF this pic
ture. has demonstrated a quality of pro-
duction and a realization OF film. pos
sibilities that is most refreshing.
Home" tells the story OF an Ameri-
can family, which completely loses its
balance when II acquires suddan and
enormous wealth. The mother and old
est daughter become snobs and social
develops into typical spender and
haunter OF the bright lights. and the
father develops cynicism and a desire
to be anywhere but his own fireside.
Only one member Of the family, who
Is sent to Europe to be finished re-
tains a normal viewpoint. When she
returns and finds the family upset she
proceeds to bring II back to its or
iginal happy state by a method that Is
unique but completely effective. Miss
Barriscale plays the part of this
wholesome young woman. In the other
parts are Clara Williams and Charles
Cary, to mention the chief OF them.

GAYETY

1t has remained for "Blutch"
Cooper to bring to the Gayety one of
the best burlesque shows of the sea-
son, and Manager Harry Jarboe Is
confident new attendance records
will be established during the en-
gagement.
The company is known as THE
Sightseers," and Is headed by two
clever comedians, VIII ]. Kennedy
and Jack Miller.
The show Is in two acts and num-
erous scenes and bears the title Of
What Is 1t All About?" There 10
little plot but whole lot of clean
comedy and good singing and dane
ing enliven the performance.
Harry Kelly and Bobby Van Horn
are much in evidence In both acts,
the formers characterization of a
dope fiend being one of the features
OF the performance
Flo Davis, Kitty Forsythe. Kathryn
Dickey and Lottie Blackboard are
among the attractive members of the
feminine contingent. Miss Davis is
one of the most graceful dancers seen
here this season.
The chorus Is clever aggregation
OF girls and appeared to advantage
In the ensembles. The Carnival four,
singers, received several recalls.
Mr.. Cooper has spared no expense
in costuming the company and In
keeping with the production elabo-
rate scenic and lighting effects have
been provided.
