There are no great steel mills in the

atmosphere we desire, but It is fright
fully expensive and sometimes we
overreach ourselves and miss the
mark.
Most scenario editors will give you
concise but outlined reasons why
your scenario has been rejected. /
should observe these. They are not
done hastily, as the public often mis-
judges, because the editors are as
anxious TO get new material as you
are to place your new creative eff

This is a day of featuring stars. II
you write story and have any one
star in mind, send II to the company
he or she is working for, with little
added note that il was written es-
pecially for 1.-THE name of the star.)
1t would be better If ambitious
amateur writers would study the laws
Of the public censor, for they would
not waste so much time in building
stories around conditions which may
exist in life, but are not allowed TO
be revealed upon the screen. Vicious
stories are barred even IL they have
all the elements of tragedy and sus-
pensc. You cannot show a man or
woman committing crime which
does not have a dominant motive

WILSON AVOWS FAITH

President Expresses Unqualified Con-

born in United States.

President Wilson made an emphatic
statement of his confidence in the loyal
patriotism OF the body OF foreign-born
citizens OF the United States in an ad-
dress to the Committee of Hungarians at
the White House yesterday.
To this committee, headed by Alexander
Konta, of New York. who had been ap-
pointed by a mass meeting of Hungarians,
to protest to the President against asper-
sions which had been made against their
loyalty, the President said:
Il have never. myself. doubted for a
moment the feeling that gentlemen such
as yourselves have toward America !
recognize you as just as much American
as anybody born in this country.
Il have deplored the spirit which hal
been manifested by some who have mis-
represent those for whom they professed
to speak. and my public protest has
been against what they said and against
their Misrepresentation of what / felt
sure was the sentiment of the rank and
file of those Americans, born on the
other side Of the water who have come
and enriched America by giving US their
talents and their allegiance.
II welcome thi secession as an oppor-
tunity OF expressing my unqualified con-
fidence in those thoughtful citizens like
yourselves who have identified them
selves In heart as we'll as in fortune, with
this great country which is so dear to all
of US, which is compounded Of all OF us.
and which does not belong to any one

UNUSUAL INTEREST IN
SAFETY FIRST EXPO
Vrooman Addresses Large Audience.
High School Students from Balti-
more Will Attend Next Satrduay.

Yesterday, the third day OF the Federal
Safety First Exposition, was one Of the
rnoet successful in point of attendance
and interest displayed In both the ex-
hibits and the lectures Assistant Secre-
tary OF Agriculture Vrooman addressed
a large audience IN the auditorium Of the
new National Museum, where the expo
sition Is being held, last night.
At the afternoon exercises, C. A Lind
strorn and A. s. Peck, Of the United
States Forest Service, gave Illustrated
lectures on the conservation Of the ma
tionAl forests It was pointed out by
the speakers that since the conservation
Of tho forests was taken up by the gov
eminent, foods and forest fires have
been greatly reduced. and thereby the
saving Of human life has been Increased
proportionately.
Practically all Of the captains and lieu
tsnants Of police Of the District were in
attendance at the morning session OF the
exposition and were given valuable in
structicns as to what the Federal gov
eminent was doing to safeguard the lives
and property Of American citizens.

SAFETY FIRST" Is URGED.
Railway Companies Issue BIotters
with Timely Warnings.

In an effort to impress on the public
the necessity of safety first" precautions
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company and the Capital Traction Com
pany yesterday started the distribution
of blotters containing warning inscrip-
tons and illustrations
The pictures are gayly colored and are
aimed to attract the attention of the
grown-ups as well as the children.
Superintendent of Schools Ernest L
Thurston and members of the Board of
Education have co-operated in the pro-
poganda and the blotters will be dis
tributed monthly in the various schools
Of the city as well as in Offices.
1t Is hoped that in this manner the
number of street car accidents due to
carelessnes of the general public will
be avoided.

WRITING SCENARIOS.

ClNCE / began writing these ar
~ ticles, from all over the country
have been sent scenarios for me
to read, and with them have come
letters from men and women implor-
ing me to send them to the man
ayers of the different studios. Per-
sonally / always read the letters, but
/ regret that can find little time to
read the hundreds of manuscripts.
/ have advised these writers
through my correspondence not to
send their scenarios to me, who real
ly have neither power nor position to
place them, but to mail them direct
to the scenario departments of the
different companies. In any of the
trade journals can be found the ad-
dresses of the moving-pieture COM
panies.
In spite of echoes Of the walls from
the public, moving picture companies
do want original plots and care not
whether the writer is we'll known or
if he is an amateur who has found his
inspiration in novel and new con-
struction.
Many books have been published Civ
ing formulas for writing scenarios,
but, after all, it is the synopsis which
sells the story. ! would not advise
any one who has had no experience
in a studio, either as an actor, d.
rector or scenario writer, to attempt
to put his play into the regulation
scene by scene form. There is so
much artistic and technical knowl-
edge necessary to construct a seen
ario which is only gained by study,
experience and a knowledge of the
dramatic art.
Avoid Fine Writing.
If you have a plot for a story in
your mind, write it out in full, inter
esting detail, without superfluous ad-
jectives or advcrbs, which may make
it more entertaining to read, but will
steal its force. Make it clear, concise
and direct. A scenario editor will
recognize the good material in it as
his eyes glance over the paragraphs,
1t is the novel plot which attracts,
the strong, human drama which gives
full play to normal emotions.
Have your synopsis typewriter
and then dwell upon the type of story
you have written, mentally placing
it with the company you think best
adapted to produce your photoplay.
If you have written Western story
dealing with life on the plains, the
prairies or the high mountains, send
it to the companies that are producing
in the West. This rule is reversed
when the skeleton of your story is
one of the great manufacturing indus
tries.

StopTreating Catarrh
Symptoms! : Y: :::::: &: =: ::...,

WHAT most people be-
W heve to be the disease
catarrh, is really only a
symptom.
The most common symp-
tom of the presence of Ca
6Th in the system is an in
famed and tender condition
of tn e breathing passages
and the bloc king of throat
and nostrils with mucous.
Il is a frequent mistake to
treat this symptom and neg
lect the actual disease that
causes it.
cat1xrh is the result of
poisons an d impurities in
the blood. These impurities
must be removed before the
disease can be cured.
The use of washes, nasal
dou E b es and soothing
creams on the irritated
membranes, can have but
little effect-they m erely
ease the local irritation but
do not reach the disease.
