THE SINFUL CINEMA AND
 THE ORFUL ORDINANCE
By NELL FREEMAN

There was & man in our town, and l he was wondrous wise. His mental genius knew no bound; his limit was the skies. And naught there was beyond ! his ken. and naught escaped his eye. Of every single thing he knew the how, the when, the why. He told us many, many things we never knew before. He told
 us how our dear old town was steeped I ir gooey gore; he said our constitution was very on the bum, and pointed out exactly how we could improve it some.
 "A man is guilty" thus quoth he, ''tin
 innocent he's proved the constitution
 turned it round, but back I'll have it
 moved).'
 70, wondrous man. the people cried, and stood they there in awe, ito think that all these many years we have mis-
 wrote the law!'
 That's nothing" quoth the wise man, "to the other things I know" Then launched he forth to tell about the nov ing picture show.
 So dived he in his pocket and brought forth documents Quoth he, "Pll have a
 meeting of my fair belligerents And one and all his cohorts came, they came in silk and fur; and rallied they and tallied they round our com missioner.
 He told them how the movies were menace to our land.
 O., hearv they cried. 'Hurrah!,' they cried, and shook him by the hand.
 He told them how movie kiss could mean damnation to our youth and one and all the ladies cried, Our wise man speaks the truthl" He told them how the working man is tempted by the movie riches; how the movie changes honest men to cutthroats, thieves and stitches. He told them how murder depicted on the screen, will make a man go buy a gun and kill the first one seen. He told them how young girls are tured, pale victims
 of the movies pelf.
 'Yes, 6OOOO ruined last year-I counted
 them myself" Thus spake a damsel young and fair, but wise beyond doubt; which sad statistic made the ladies take their kerchiefs out.
 Then took he every one of the dra- matic situations, and told how every one of them were great abominations
 And now, my friends" he spoke again. 'ff you're inclined to doubt it. I'll introduce the speaker next who'll tell you all about it"
 "The cinema should be restricted to Neitzche and Schopenhauer; the public must be edifed," spake Miss Lorgnette Highbrow.
 Miss Chubby Readmuch then arose, "I wish to state again, sir, that if we're going to censor them, I bid to be the censor"
 Then all the ladies spoke at once, and spoke they all together; while the movie men did tap their brows and talk about the weather. And when the hubbub did
 subside, the ladies all arose, and smoothed each lady down her dress, and powdered each her nose. Then rose there
 up the wise man, again to make oration. My friends, the movie threatens our city, state and nation. And now that have shown you the harm that there is in it, feel 1t Is my duty to pass g law agin it-'
 The ladies dropped their mirrors and spoke in bold acclaim; and the wise man
