HERE'S A MAN WHO HAS HAD
TWO HUNDRED PLAYS PRODUCED

The path of the scenario writer
may be difficult one, but having
once made success, man who can
write photoplays need not worry
about the butchers bill.
Philip LOnerSan, author OF Inc
Pillory," the Pathe Gold Rooster
play, produced by Thanhouser, star
ring Florence LaBadie, which is to be
shown at the Casino tonight, has
been a scenario writer for several
years, and more than 200 of his
plays have chen produced.
Mr.. Lonergan was born in Hack
ensack, N j., and was a short-story
writer before he tried scenario work
After bombarding the scenario
editors for several months, Mr. Lon
ergan finally sold "a script to tho
Thanhouser Film Corporation. After
half a dozen of his stories were pro
duced by Thanhouser he was made a
member of the staff.
In June of the next year, Mr.
Lonergan left New Rochelle and
went to Los Angeles to become a
scenario editor of the Majestic Com
pany. While with the Majestic he
wrote number of pictures that were
produced by D. W. Griffith.
An offer from Thanhouser to write
all the plays for the Princess Com
pany drew him back in May, 1914,
and he has been with Thanhouser
ever since.
Mr.. Lonergan's best work has been
done in the five-reelers that are now
being released by Thanhouser
through Pathe. These include Flor
ence LaBadie's features, 1.-THE Fugi-
tive" Saint, Devil and Woman, "
and THE Pillory."

AvoIDiNG THE
SHADOW CALLED DEBT

The best way to avoid debts is to
pay as you go. Often l know, dear
friends, this is most hard We are
often tempted to borrow lust once
from some friend in order that we
may avail ourselves of some remark
able bargain or something of the
kind. have always made it point
not to borrow, and have never been
sorry, although it often meant for
saking what seemed to me to be some
great opportunity But, do you know,
once we have a thing or use it, as
the case may be. it is very difficult to
continue paying for it.
Particularly do young married
couples think it expedient to borrow
So much is needed fro their new
home and they are starting out with
50 little, and presently debts are as
sumed before they are aware they
have borrowed at all.
Besides debts with our friends, we
may have debts at stores But these
latter debts we are apt to pay sooner
than debts to persons whom we
know and whom we have reason to
believe will be indulgent with us.

The newspapers are clamoring for
a revision of our libel laws, and it is
likely that some changes should be
made in them; but it is also true that
in the newspaper business there are
now and then found character assas-
sins who need some check on their
malicious and wanton methods. An
unknown and an irresponsible scrib-
bier can do great injury to the char
acter of an honorable man-his most
precious asset--and the victim is help
less unless the law offers him some re.
course or protection. There have
been mighty good papers published in
Florida for years and years under the
present laws, and their publishers
have not been hampered by them. Too
often the cry for more liberal libel
laws is raised by those whose sole OBJ
ject is to secure greater license for
their vindictive and abusive rawlings.

EMBARGO ON EXPORTS OF FOODS.

Washington, Nov 23.-Representative
Fitzgerald, Democrat, chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee, an
nounced today that he favored an en-
barge on foodstuffs, and that it was his
purpose to prepare a bill and to press the
subject early in the coming session of
Congress.
1.-TWO reasons chiefly impsl me to favor
embargo legislation on foodstuffs," said
Mr.. Fitzgerald. ut is the most effective
weapon in our cont oversy with Great
Britain over her unwarranted, outrageous
and indefensible blacklist of American
merchants. As our foodstuffs are needed
abroad an embargo will be more effec-
tive than weary months of diplomatic
negotiations which end in the contin-
uance of the indefensible practices against
our rights.
1.-THE embargo also should be imposed
for purely domestic reasons. The pri-
ces of foodstuffs have reached levels that
are bringing widespread distress to the
country. Many hundreds of thousands
of our people are suffering from the lack
of the necessities of life. Wholesale pri-
ces in many commodities are less abroad
today than they were year ago; here
the retail prices have advanced alarm
ingly.
Says Peoples Rights Should
Come before Trade Development. i,
1.-THE argument that nothing should be
done to interfere with the expansion of
our foreign trade does not impress me.
OF what profit is it if our foreign trade
is to grow with leaps and bounds while
our own people are brought to the verge
Of starvation aas result of it!
"The time is ripe for the embargo, and
I hope to see legislation speedily enacted
to impose it. Let America be for Amer
leans first"
It seems to be generally agreed here
that the coming session of Congress will
see fight over the embargo proposal,
which is backed by monster petitions
signed by thousands of persons and or
CARNATIONS.
President Wilson and the cabinet are
understood to oppose it.

PEOPLE IN GRIP OF STORAGE
TRUST.

"While the people pay famine
prices for food, fruit rots umgath-
cred on farms and the walls of
cold storage warehouses fairly
bulge with stored supplies.
IF the surplus of food held in
refrigeration in Chicago were re-
leased today prices would drop
50 per cent. The cold storage of
foodstuffs which promised at first
to prove such a boon to mankind.
has been perverted into one Of the
most evil agents of exploitation.
"Unless the government takes
over at once active and absolute
control Of all cold storage, this
nation may expect to be reduced
to- the condition Of the starving
nations of Europe, with prices so
high that none but the rich may
eat meat more than once or twice
q week."
This statement was issued by
Mrs. II. Fl. Harrison. 72O Bitter
sweet place, organizer OF the
Housewives league, after receiv-
ing the report of a cold storage
engineer on the amount of food
stuffs held in cold storage plants
for speculative purposes.
OF the total supply of the coun-
try, which runs into nearly 2OO.-
100000 pounds Of food Of all
kinds. at least from 15,0OO,OOO to
2O,OOO,O 900 pounds are stored in
the Chicago district.
"This is not an abuse of a
day." said Mrs. Harrison, "but
has grown in proportions ever
since the first refrigeration plant
was built. It has become as es-
tablished rule with food specula-
tors that no fresh, imperishable
foods shall be allowed to reach
the market until the cold storage
supplies have been drawn upon.
Then the usual course is for the
oldest and most unfit embalmed
foods to be dumped onto the mar
ket and the fresh stuff to be put
in it's place in storage.
"The law requiring that no
food be stored more than ten
months before it is sent to the
market is ignored, according to
cold storage engineers. They
say that no serious attempt has
ever been made to enforce it.
Commissioners Of health every

cago district warehouses and some
of the poultry and fish in them

acts against public interest | be-
lieve Germany would send men
