Restricted Districts for Junk Shops

To the Editor OF The Star:
We consider that your recent editorial
and articles regarding the junk bust
ness convey wrong impression, in
asmuch as one would gain from your
several articles that the junk shop is
the rendezvous for thieves and that the
junk mans most important business is
that of buying stolen property. 1t is
no doubt true and it is unfortunate that
certain amount of stolen property
reaches the junk shop. but the amount
of stolen property the junk man han
dies against the total amount of bust
ness done is the smallest part of l per
cent. At the present time there are
laws under which the junk business is
regulated. and there is police supervi
sion and a license is required to conduct
get a license ii is necessary to obtain
the consent of property holders in the
district that the junk shop is located.
There may be dishonest junk dealers,
but so are there dishonest doctors, law :
yers and bankers, and we think that
statistics will show that there are more
doctors, lawyers and bankers proper
tionally speaking. in the penitentiary
today than there are junk dealers, and
the junk mans misdeeds only involve
a small amount of money. whereas the
other fellows usually wreck homes and
fortunes.
To place junk shops in restricted dis
tricts is impractical, and by virtue of

LATE FILM SUCCESSES
FOR TRIAL MATlNEES
Schedule of Tomorrow's Perform
ances at Six Theaters Announced.
Begin at 2 Pm.

A number of later film successes are
! included in programs for the first of
, the series of pay trial matinees in in
terest of cleaner motion picture plays
for children in the District, which are
to be held tomorrow. The schedule
for tomorrows performances at six
theaters has been announced by Mrs.
Jacob John Locher. chairman of the
motion picture committee of the Dis
trict of Columbia Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs. which inaugurated the cam
paign for better films, as follows:
Avenue Grand. 645 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast, Prince and Pauper,"
with Marguerite Clark playing lead:
Apollo. 624 H street northeast, "Hulda
from Holland with Mary Pick ford
lyric, BIOS 14th street northwest.
shadows and sunshine: Olympic. 1881
u street northwest. Youths Endearing
Victoria. sos eth street southwest.
''Hansel and Gretel." and a comedy
and Howard (colored). Little Eve Ed
gerton."
The first performance will be at .
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. and sec
ond will begin about $3.50 o'clock. Ad-
mission for children will be ) cents.
and 10 cents will be charged adults
accompanying them.
Mrs. Locher this morning urged moth
ers again to take a keener interest in
the movement to secure better films
for children by having them attend
the pay matinees. These matinees will
be the real demonstration that children
want clean films. and that their moth
ers want such films for them. To a
great extent, according to Mrs Locher,
the securing of good picture plays for
children for all time depends upon the
success of tomorrow's matinees.
In view of possible criticism in re-
gard to her selection of film plays for
the demonstration matinees, Mrs. Loeb
er stated that as far as possible the
best of films were obtained. Technical
tiles of the film business have hampered
to a great extent the selection of plays
Mrs. Locher also wishes to thank a
number of mothers who are sending
her personal letters promising their
support in the movement
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-01-18

the fact that these places are where
they are through the consent of the
adjacent property owners there rs no
more reason why they should be placeu
in restricted districts any more so than
other Objectionable enterprises. such as
machinery shops. foundries, blacksmith
shops. coal yards. lumber mills. milk
diaries. feed mills, etc. The critics OF
the junk business lose sight of the fact
that it is a very important one. that
it is an absolute necessity and that the
junk business is a benefactor to every
one, inasmuch as it is the means by
which there is wonderful conserVa-
ton of raw material, and If 1t were not
for the conservation of such materials
as paper, rags. iron, metals and rupber
the world would now feel very keenly
the lack of such raw materials. and II
1t not for this conservation
through the junk medium such goods
would now be selling at fabulous ns-
ures, in, comparison to the present high
prices for such commodities. In our
Judgment there was shipped out OF
Washington during the past year an
amount of junk to the approximate
value of one million dollars. and. while
we do not know the value of stolen
property reported by the police depart
ment for the same period that would
likely go to the junk shops. we feel
that the full value of such stolen prop
erty is very insignificant in comparison
to the value of junk handled by the
collected by the junk trade is a mo
valuable unit in the economy of
worlds raw material resources,
while we are now living in VIC
rich with resources. we look for
time to come when the scarcity of ra
materials will cause different govern
ments to superintend the systematic
collection of just such class of wastes
that the junk trade is handling today.
a..d If reports are true some of the Eu-
ropean governments are carrying out
this policy at this very time. and they
hang on to their waste materials with
the same pertinacity that the miser does
his heard. The magnitude of the junk
business in the United States alone is
beyond the comprehension of the aver
age person and if any one interested
would write to the Waste Trade jour
nal of New York city for tatistics they
would get figures of both tonnage and
values in dollars that would stagger
them. We earnestly object to the i'm
preston produced by the several ar
ticles relative to the junk shops, and
we trust you will publish this letter
which we think in a measure will cor
rect the erroneous impression, which
we think was unintentonal. that the
junk business is a dishonest one.
