THE WIDER MOTION
PICTURE CENSORSHIP


The United States is made UP of
almost as many diverse peoples as
Europe. This diversity in a unified
population has to be taken into con-
sideration by the National Board Of
Censorship of Moving Pictures. The
board is unable to censor for any par
ticular audience; neither can it require
that the film which 1t approves for
adults be shown only to adults. Exist
ing conditions of the motion picture
business are such that every film ap-
proved by the national board goes to
every audience. whether or not 1t is
marked by the board For adults
only" Certain of the film companies
have selected lists of motion pictures
for children and the presentation of
special programs for children is being
urged, but since adults make up the
majority of the audience, it is plain
that pictures for them must be shown
in majority
1t is the public, the mothers and
fathers of every community. who con-
stitute the wider national censoring
board. Upon the parents depend the
kind and character of every motion
picture shown, determined by the
nickel or dime which they or their
children spend to see it. If they would
realize their responsibility in connec-
ton with the moving picture there
would be no need of the Federal board
of motion picture censorship, the eS-
tablishing of which is now being agi-
tated.
If parents would find out from their
nearest representative of the national
board, or from the film company itself,
whether picture was judged suitable
for mixed audiences or for adults only,
IL would be taking long step toward
the wider censorship. A still Longer
step would be never to allow a child
to attend a motion picture theater un-
accompanied by an adult.-Carolyn S.
Bailey, in October Mothers Magazine.

many entries that two divisions of the
race were decided upon. Because of
the length of the former contests the
greater part of the second was post

ADVANCE OF PRICES
 ON UPWARD MOVE.
Export Movement and De- crease of Visible Supply
 Stimulates Buying

New Orleans, January 13.-Whlle cotton was depressed in the early trading here today, the market strengthened later, and the close was a net gain of 1 to points. Poor cables were chiefly responsible for the selling, while the buying was stim- ulated by bullish consumption figures, larger mill takings than expected, an increase in the export movement and large decrease in the visible supply
 Around the opening prices were put half a dozen points under yesterdays close as the result of a lower Liverpool market than due, but this was offset by the large consumption by foreigners for December. The market recovered about the level of yesterdays close, where it hung for some time In the early afternoon an upward movement put the trading months points over yesterdays last quotations.
 Exports for the week from all United States to foreign countries were 159, 156 bales. Secretary Hester of the New Or lea ms exchange made mill takings of American cotton 422,000 bales, while the visible supply showed a decrease for the week of 74,000 bales, against an increase this week last year of 177,000 bales.

MUN|T|ON SHARES
 TAKE BUOYANT RISE
Unsettled Tone of the Stock Market Is Dispelled by
 Washington Assurances

New York, January 1.-The unsettle- ment created yesterday by acute condi- tions in Mexico was considerably dis pelled today, in consequence of assur- ances from Washington and other official assurances. For time, however, shares of companies operating in Mexico were under severe restraint, but moved forward in the final hour Mexican Petroleum making an extreme gain of AS points at 1157s, and American Smelling PA at 1O7.
 Shares of munitions companies recov- cred some buoyancy from low prices of the midweek Crucible Steel leading the rise with an overnight gain of 91a to 691a Concurrent strength was shown by Beth lehem Steel, which advanced 25 points to 455 and gave color to runors that inter- ests in that company had acquired a large block of Crucible.
 Other strong and active war issues in- cluded Baldwin and American Locomo- tive, Studebaker, American Car, Pressed Steel Car, Lackawanna Steel, Great Northern Ore, Colorado Fuel and the mo- tors. There was more manipulation in some of the high-priced war products specialties, notably American coal prod ucts, Corn Products and United States Industrial Alcohol, the latter scoring a new record on it's gain of 514 to 13S$4.
 Mercantile Marine stocks and bonds were the strongest and most active of the standard issues, the preferred stock ris- ing 2A to S05s, and the Az per cent bonds ] point to 995s, both new records. Deal- ings in marine bonds constituted the real feature of the bond market, and strength ened the belief that events are shaping toward a settlement of differences between opposing interests in the cmpany
 Later in the session speculation trickled into new channels, chiefly telephone and telegraph shares, which were unusually active at higher quotations. Partial ex- plantation of this movement was offered by the Western Union Telegraph company re- port, which disclosed net income of $lO21S,3Sl for 1915, against $5,371 395 in 1914
 United States Steel followed the general trend of the market rising 1as to S65s, but was overshadowed by the activity in spe- cial stocks. Rails also showed firmness put were relatively dull.
 Aside from the strength of marines the pond market was irregular. Total sales, par value, were $6, 100000 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Bradstreet Says There Will Be Extraordinary Business
 Activity in the Spring

New York, January 14-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Good business, plenty of money, high prices, activity in industry, improved col lections, increased wages, cold weather. antcipations of extra ordinary activity the coming spring and scarcity of numerous kinds of materials feature this weeks reports.
 Cold weather over wide area has ham pered trade in some interior regions of the southwest, likewise delayed railway operations and mail deliveries but in the larger sense the meteorological conditions have acted as an additional tonic to final distribution. In consequence. heavy weight goods have moved from the hands of retail dealers in full volume, and. aid ed by seasonal clearance sales, stocks have been further reduced.
 Sales of dry goods for future delivery arc exceptionally heavy, perhaps the heaviest noted at this season for three years back, and fears of deficient sup plies from mills, already backward in making deliveries, are very general.
 Industry in general is employed to full capacity, steel mills are sold six to seven months forward, prices continue to soar, mills not booking far ahead at cur rent prices and wages are at a record high point.

find upon which to hang an argument. Today there were advices from Texas stating that rates had been lowered. This condition will work itself out satisfac- torily, and if southern holders will just bide their time their patience will be rewarded by very substantial increase in price,
 The census bureaus report on consump- ton for December was extremely bullsh. showing United States mills had used 555,OC0 bales during that month. These figures do not take into account cotton which goes into other avenues of manu- facture. As an idea of what the con- sumption in such ways might be, it is said there is an estimate that the Du- ponts in their works alone consume about S0C.0O0 pounds of cotton per day. and as these works manufacture a very small proportion of the worlds ammunition needs, an accurate census of cotton going into manufacture of such things would cause the pessmistic bear to sit up and take notice. It is also estimated that 50oOO0 bales of cotton will go into the manufacture of automobile tires this year.
 See nothing that can possibly prevent prices going higher and confidently ad wise purchases on any moderate set backs, such as we had today.

AVERY'S NEWS ON
 COTTON INDORSED

As have been singing one tune for so long time. it may interest my readers to know that others share my views:
 The following is an excerpt from a let ter received from Liverpool: Practically the whole bullsh situation and position stands or falls by the attitude of south ern spot holders. If they remain firm and market it slowly. nothing can pre- vent them obtaining very full prices, as the world must have the cotton under any circumstances"
 This has been the burden of my advice to southern holders of cotton for months, and it is as true now as when I first made it. The freight rate situation is absolutely the only thing the bears can
