QUESTIONABLE POLICY

An audience representing the clergy
and laity, the artistic and CONNER
cial elements Of Washington, applaud
ed and expressed approval of the
photoplay ..Purity," at private per-
Torrance given at the Garden Thea
ter yesterday morning. Several prom
inent clergymen of the capital city
were of theinvited guests, among
them Rev. DR.. Randolph H. McKim,
formerly rector of Christ Church in
Alexandria.
General approval of the photoplay
was expressed by all of those pres
ent. There was no general objec-
tion to the film. DR.. McKim expires
sed approval of the story. but thought
there might be less nudity in the pic
Eure.
The Commissioners of the District
of Columbia had ruled against
"nudity in public, and the private
party was invited to act as critics.
We have several times during past
years expressed the conviction that
procedures like the above result il
more harm than good. Many years

theatre. Much criticism and condem

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS SHOW
IMPROVEMENTS

The very significant facts develop
ed in the news Of yesterday. One IS
that the President is to have the
whole-hearted support of the Tam
many organization. The other is the
attitude of the independent voters OF
Wisconsin, as reported by an agent
of the Republican National Commit
tee. In this latter case it is discov-
erred that Senator LaFollette, while
THE Republican nominee, is advocating
THE principal measures OF the present
administration and particularly those
{ which Mr.. Hughes is using as ma
terial fer his attack upon Mr.. Wilson
Among these is the Adamson Eight
Hour-Bill.
As result, it is confidently as
, serted that the large number of the
Independent voters of Wisconsin, who
are supporting Mr.. LaFollette, will
/ vote for Mr.. Wilson. A similar con-
dition is becoming manifest also 10
some extent in California where Gov
ernor Johnston obtained the Repub-
iican nomination for the United States
Senate in spite of the support of the
old guard Republicans.
/ Wisconsin is, normally, strong
Republican. stale. There is every rea-
i{soniito believe that Mr.. Wilson will
this year gain a majority of its
electoral votes. And the fact that

Eggs Hard as Bullets.

If less meat, shall we eat super
boiled eggs after the manner of the
Albanians? 1t testifies to the strength
of their dlgestions. An equal number
of eggs and onions are boiled together
for about three hours daily on ten sue
cessive days, the eggs being slightly
pricked after each boil so that the
juice of the onions thoroughly per-
meates them. They are, naturally, as
hard as bullets at the end of this treat
ment; but an Albanian will bolt down

ings of olive oil-and then clamor for
