MOVIE OPERATOR SCHOOL"
GAME GETS HARD JOLTING

which flOuTished with the aid OF the
Daily News and Tribune want ad col
umns, drew a hard jolt from States
Atty Hoyne last week when two
pT0prietOrs were indicted for conf
dence game. They are Chas. Ridell
and Frank Wesley of the Logan
Square Business college, $500 Mil
waUkee aV.
In this way an end was put to one
of the softest games that has ever
been worked through the advertising
columns of the trust press of. Chi
cagO.
Their plan was simple. They put
in want ads offering to teach young
fellows with more than $35 to spend
the movie operator game. It paid
S35 a week, the guIlible victim read,
and the work could be done in the
evening.
Hundreds of suckers" saw the
ads in the News and Tribune and
they fioCked by dozens to the movie
schools. Good money they forked
over in exchange for lessons on how
to turn the movie crank.
When the half dozen lessons of the
regular course we're taken the en-
bryO operator went down to the City
Hall to get his certificate to work.
Then he was due for crushing
blow.
The department of electricity told
him that he would have to serve six
months as apprentice to a regular
operator, without pay, probably, be-
fore he could get a license. His,
money and time spent on movie
schools were practically wasted.
At this point some of the ambitious

it over on the city officials. They OBJ

GIRL GETS DAMAGES OF $3.50
AGAINST FAIR IN CAKE CASE

A little scent piece Of cheese cake,
slapped on the lunch counter of the
Fair three years ago, bids weIIto cost
that store $3.50. Last week the girl
who ate the cheese cake got a iudg-
ment against the loop store for that
sum.
Irene Long Is her name and she
hunched up to the counter in the
Fair restaurant on Nov q, 1913, to
"eat a bite" For dessert she ordered
the cheese cake, and, according to
her story in court, she swallowed a
big piece of it.
There was an inch-long wire in
the cake, she declares, and as it
pierced her throat she let out a
scream that brought shoppers and
clerks to her aid in dozens.
Irene suffered considerable trouble
from the cuts in her throat that the
wire had made, and after waiting a
year for the Fair to pay her for time
lost and money spent she sued the
store for $4,000.
- The cheese cake story was told in
Judge McKinley's court last Wednes-
day. Attorneys for the Fair answered
her with the suggestion that the girl
might have gotten the wire some
where else than in the stores food.
But the jury decided against the
Fair and it's cheese cake and assessed
damages Of $3.50.

Republican Members of House
Committee Denounce Naval Bill
as Wholly Inadequate.

Republican members of the House
report submitted to the House today
denounced the S241,00O.oO0 naval appro-
priation bill reported by the majority
as wholly inadequate, and urged more
liberal allowances to make the United
States navy second greatest in the world.
The minority charged that the ma
jority report ignored opinions of naval
experts and recommendations of Secre-
tary Daniels, and was based on a COM
promise between interests which wanted
no additional naval protection and those
which wanted only slight increase.
The republicans recommended that the
bill provide for two dreadnaughts omit
ted by the reported measure. six battle
cruisers instead of five. fifty coast de-

and means for rushing the building
program by using more than one shift
of workmen daily.
The report suggested that the two
dreadnaughts be built according to
plans now ready for the California and
Tennessee. so that all might be fin
ished simultaneously.
The bill should provide, the report
declared, for the full number of men
required on a peace basis, and should
authorize the President to order at his
discretion enlistment of such additional
men as the navy might need. not to
exceed the SS.762 recommended by the
general board.

Charles ]. Bonaparte, formerly At
torney General of the United States. is
scheduled to deliver the principal ad-
dress this afternoon at the Woman's
preparedness camp on National Pre-
paredness." Miss Fox is to speak on
the work of the home visiting nurses.
An address that was different, under
the general subject Of Preparedness"
was given to the campers yesterday
by Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, chairman
of the District of Columbia Branch OF
the Woman's Section of the National
Civic Federation. She advised the girls
in a motherly, heart-to-heart talk to
prepare themselves for the glorious
future that is theirs as mothers of the
future citizenship. as molders of the
destinies of the nation She received
the heartiest ovation yet given to any
speaker. The girls crowded about her
at the close of the exercises to express
appreciation of her remarks.
Mrs. Hopkins warned especially
against lowering of the standards of
standards for the nation. Some of her
most pithy statements were:

avoid cigarettes. cocktails and
bridge. You may call me old fogey,
but 1 know from the ruin wrought
among my own friends that these are
the curse of the nation. They will
ensnare you in the habit, they will
drag you down. There are just as
many drunkard women as men.
How I pity you because you have
lost your grandmothers. There are
no grandmothers today. If you see a
woman crossing the street you can
not tell whether she is a debutante or
an octogenarian. They all dress alike.
You girls should start now to train
yourselves to be grandmothers of the
old fashioned type. the kind to whom
we of today owe all that is best in us.
Woman stands for all that is good
and helpful. The truly womanly wom-
an. l mean. who does not try to step
out of her proper sphere, but who
cares for the home and the children
and is happiest there.
You have the great future before
you. There is nothing you may not do.
but are you training for it? Have you
the training that YOUR mother and
and qualities that came down from our
Puritan ancestors. ! am proud of my
Puritan ancestors. It's the pity Of the
nation that those Puritan ancestors
gave out so soon.
TT is easy in time of crisis to stand
forth as great woman, but it is the
woman who quietly. day by day. silent
ly in her own community works in
womanly way for the underlying great
principles lettering the country that
shows best womans influence for
greatness-and there are millions of
them. Let great educational and up
lifting force go forth from this school.
Say that you will be leaders in the
great movement to prevent lowering of
standards"
