Sensational Film Where Are NV Chill

Where Are My Children9 current re-
tease OF the Universal company, has
Tor It's foundation the theory of birth
control and based on the famous trial
OF Margaret Sanger, in New York. and
van hleet Allison, in Boston, which
received so much publicity recently
when they were arrested for distribut-
ing birth control literature. The pic
ture has been rejected by the National
Board of Review, and the Universal
company is endeavoring to feel the
public pulse without this body's sane

for three days commencing Monday.
Oct. 10. The story has the backing of
such prominent men as Rabbi Jacob
kohn, Father W. E. Cashin, DIR. Charles
W. Parkhurst, and Superior Pauist
Father John Hughes. 1t is exception
ally bold and blunt and is for adult
audiences only.
Like Damaged Goods and other en-
beavers of an educational nature, this
story tries to present truth before the
public that will not only enlighten but
benefit mankind. 1t starts out with
every intention of sanctioning birth
control, but stops short, and from then
on the idea becomes so hazv that it is
hard to grasp the true meaning. The
story opens with the trial of a doctor
Tor circulating a book on birth control.
tie is found guilty. The story switches
here to the sorrows of childlessness and
the sins of illegal operations, which
nearly everyone of mature age knows
about. How will birth control benefit
mankind, and also just what plan have
you III mind to prevent the coming into
the world of unwanted' children?
1t is moral appeal for the better
ment of shallow society and calls at
tention to the cancerous sin that is UNI
dermining the foundation of public vel
fare. No expense has been spared to
make this high class production, and
the Universal have dressed the scenes
in manner that is exceedingly pleas
ing and satisfactory to the eve. The
photography is excellent and the entire
production shows careful and consider
ate attention to details in direction. II

Curiosity should be guarded against
especially in the case of husbands who
were formerly in the prizering. 1t is
dangerous matter to pry into the
transactions of a citizen who carries a
left upper-cut and enough money to pay
his fine. Scores of happy homes have
been broken up by the gossip whose
curiosity has run over the dam and
convinces credulous wife that she
has married a gay Lothario instead OF
q master bricklayer
Curiosity which is not fenced in can
be cured by reading the parable about
the mote and the beam and training the
nose to keep on the sidewalk There
would be less baleful curiosity at work
in this country if people would looI
inside little oftener and not worry
so much about how their neighbors ear
afford pork tenderloins twice q week
If nobody would go off his own premis
es when he feels like doing a little
promiscuous prying, there would be
better feeling in the church and fewer
blackballs cast in the lodge

Curiosity is an effort to secure in
formation which belongs to somebody
else.
There is a great deal of information
lying around loose which would not
look well if printed on the front page,
and If It We're not for curiosity it could
kick around on the four corners for
weeks at time without being picked
up and woven into lawsuit There is
considerable complaint about the ac-
tivities of curiosity. but it probably
keeps more people from helping build
good roads for the state than the prick
ings of conscience
Curiosity is caused by the nose be
coming elongated and prying into other
people s business. Many a man has be
gun life with a nose of normal dimen-
sions, and after becoming addicted to
the curiosity habit has sprouted pro
boscis longer than the ant-eater. There
have been instances where this rowing
tendency has been resented by its vic
tim, who pushes the nose back into its
proper location with an irate fist.

A Needed Law.

(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)
While there have been but few col
hsions between automobiles and teams
at night because the teams did not ear
~ light, there have been many near
accidents. The driver of a team can
see an automobile as far as the light
shows, but the driver of an auto cannot
see team until he is almost on it, and
on sharp curves may not see it at all.
If the drivers of teams realized the
protection a light on their vehicles
would give them it seems as though
every one of them would carry a. light.
If they will not, a law compelling them
to carry light should be passed, but
no intelligent man should wait for a
law, he should carry light on his
team every time he ventures on pub
lie highway after dark. 1t would pro
tect and help him and the driver of an
automobile.

The Importance of the Vermont
State Boys and Girls Agricultural
and Industrial exposition is indicated
by the fact that it attracted something
over 5000 school children to Burling-

.ls that the children were actively inter
.ested in what the exposition had to
show them else they would not have
been present.

In the course of talk before the
state parent-teacher association in Bur
lington the other night Editor Hindley
of the Rutland Herald protested
against the present system of allowing
boys of IA or over to be taught by
women. 1t is out of the question in
small towns to provide men teachers
but there is no denying the fact that
their influence over boys from IA up is

conducive to a better understanding Of
the value of education. This is one of
the numerous arguments for the adop-
ton of the so-called six-and-six plan
which provides for six years in the
grades followed by six years in high
school.

In view of the fact that the annual
report of the Central Vermont shows
n surplus revenue of more than $4,000
for the past year as compared with a

present at least about Vermont s bur.

When an automobile route is SO popu-

1000 or more touring parties to ira
verse it In one day it can hardly be
said to afford the actual recreation
that comes from a trip over some less
frequented circuit. Right here in Wind
ham county there are a number of
tours that afford fully as much
scenic beauty as one can possibly di-
gest and yet may be taken without the
discomforts, not to say dangers, that
are likely to 90 hand in hand with
heavy traffic. The Meddler has in mind
one circuit of about 20 miles leading
up the West River valley as far as
Wardsboro Station, thence to West
Wardsboro, from there over the hill to
West Dover, thence eastward almost
to the old and practically deserted vii
lage Of Dover and from there over the
backbone of Higley hill to the main
road from Wilmington to Brattleboro

yet to be convinced that more actual
good could not be accomplished in
great many eases if there were less red
tape connected with its bestowal.
While It IS doubtless true that many
