EUROPE FOR CLEAN MOVIES
Foreign Countries Are Buying Much Film From America, but Suggest
 Change in It's Character.

Europe Is buying more motion pie ture film from America than ever be fore. This Is an excellent branch of our export trade. It does not take much raw material. It gives employ ment to many grades of labor from the rough to the highest grade. It dis tributes money through all the stages of it's progress from the crude product to the finished.
 Europe finds in the movie" bit of relief, of relaxation from the long strain and horror of war. It wants American pictures, but what an indict- ment of American morals Is contained in the report of our vice consul. David C. Kerr, stationed at Birmingham. England. who notifies the secretary of commerce that 'the only recommenda- ton offered by renting agents as to any Improvements desired in American films is a request for '.less of the sex ual problem E We are so habituated to seeing indecent plays, suggestive movies" and women in scant drapery that We have lost the proper sense of proportion morally. Less of the sex uai problem" says Europe. The mes- sage is good one from a people who are being made better. cleaner, truer as they are tried in the fire of war; Financial America.

voice. of course, yet there was a strange note in 1t which somehow gave him a sense of uneasiness. He went into the room at once and stopped aghast.
 Good God, Mir. Meade" he ex. claimed.
 Ordinarily he was the quietest and most undemonstrative of men. There was something soft and subtle about his movements. An exclamation of that kind had hardly escaped him in the thirty years of their association. He checked himself instantly, but Meade, ST., understood. The day be- fore Shurtliff had left him a hale, hearty, vigorous somewhat ruddy man. Now he found him old. white. trem- bling, stricken. Meade looked at Shurt. Tiff with lack-luster eye and with a face that was dead while 1t was yet alive.
 "Mr. Meade" began the secretary 6 second time, what is the matterT
 "The International bridge" an- swered the other, and the secretary no ticed the strangeness of his voice more and more. "It's about to collapse Per. haps it has failed already"
 Meade passed his hand over hIs brow and then brought 1t down heavily on the desk.
 'As "S s:t nere, n.:cvbe, 1t Is falling" he added somberly In a sv.* nf dull, impersonal way. Into the mind of the secretary came foolish old line: London bridge Is falling down, falling down" He must be mad or Meade must be mad.
 'I can't believe 1t, sir. WhyT
 There's a defiection in one of the lower chord members of one and three quarters inches. It's bound to col. lapse. The boy was right, Shurtlif," explained Meade. "I was wrong. ] am ruined"
 Don't say that, sir. You have ne yer failed in anything. There must De some means"
 "Shurtliff, you ought to know tn .rs Is no power on earth could save that member. It's only a question of time when 1t will fall"
 The secretary leaned back against the doorjamb. put his hand over his face, and shook like e leaf. The old man eyed him.
 Don't take 1t so hard" he said. "It'a not your fault, you know.s
 "Mr. Meade" burst out the other man, "y0 don't know what 1t means to me. - failure myself. I have glo- riea in you. I-you have been every. thing to me. sir. I can't stand 1t"
 T know," said Meade kindly. He rose and walked]bver to the man. laid his hand on hA shoulder. took his other hand in his own. 'Tt hurts more, perhaps, to lose your confidence in me than 1t would to lose the confidence of the world"

much valuable time, for he had not passed so busy a day as that one since the bridge began. Everything was ex- aetiy as 1t had been. Those hair-line cracks had troubled him little despite wIlching's remark. He studied them a second time. They were just as they had been. Sc far as he could tell, no larger. no more numerous. The lacings rang exactly the same under his ham, mer.
 He climbed back to the floor of the bridge andsspent the next half hour in specting the progress of the work. The suspended span had already been pushed out far beyond the end Of the cantilever. The work on the other side of the river had been stopped. As soon as they got the suspended span halfway over they would transfer the worknen and finish the opposite canti- lever. Abbott calculated that perhaps In another week they could get 1t out if he drove the men. He looked at his watch. g-udgingly observing that 1t was almost five s'clock- The men were

Meade. The father had told ul.n just what he intended to do with 1t.
 Shurtliff might have been a great man if left to himself or forced to act for himself. But pursuing a great pas sion so long as he had. he had merged himself In the more aggressive person ality of his employer and friend. He had received a good engineering edu- cation. but had got into trouble over failure. a rather bad mistake In his early career. too big to be rectified. to be forgiven, or condoned. The older Meade had taken him up, had been kind to him. had offered to try to put him on his feet again, but his big faii- ure had increased his natural timidity. so he stayed on. He had become . part of the old mans life.
 Young Meade had never been able to get very far into the personality of Shurtliff, but he liked him and respect ed him. He realized the mans devo ton to his father. and he understood and admired him. Aside from that jealousy the old man could not but like the young one. He was too like his father for Shurtliff to dislike him. The secretary wished him we'll; he wanted to see him a great engineer. Of course he could never be the engineer that his father was. That would not be In the power of man. But still, even if he never attained that height, he could yet rise very high. Shurtliff would not admit that there was anything on earth to equal Meade. ST.
 The secretary was greatly surprised as he stopped beside his own desk to hear his name called from the inner office. He recognized his employer1

They stared sick and faint at the tangled, interwoven mass of steel, ribbOning in every direction-for in the main the rivets held so 1t was not any defect of joints. but structural weakness in the body of the members that had brought 1t down-and inclosing as in a net many bodies that few seconds before had been living men.
 They had seen body after body hurled through the air from the outward end and, as they gazed fearfully in horror here and there dark figures fioated to the surface of the water. They caught glimpses of white. dead faces as the mighty current rolled them under and swept them on. And no sound came from the hundred and fifty who had gone down with the bridge. The 200 foot fall would have killed them with out the smashing and battering and crashing of the great girders that had fallen upon them or driven them from the floor and hurled them. crushed and broken, into the river.
 Meade had been right. Abbott had one swift flash of acknowledgment. one swift moment packed with such re- grets as might fill a lifetime-an eter- nity in a hell of remorse-before he, like the rest, had gone down with the bridget

 "Yes. I've been down to examine C-1OR." Wilchings laughed.
 That little spring is nothing" He looked over the track and through the maze of bracing at the member. If we had a pier somewhere we could hold up the earth with that strut. You didn't find out anything. did you?" Not a thing except some hair-line cracks in the paint around the rivets."
 You'll often find those where there's heavy load to take up. This bridge will stand long after you and 1 and every man on 1t has quit work for good"
 Now Wiichings was a man of experi- ence and ability. and if Abbott had needed any confirmation of his opinion this careless expression would have served. He did send him across the river to examine the half-completed cantilever on the other bank, upon which work had been suspended. await ing shipments of steel Wilchings ia;er reported that 1t was all right. which was what he expected. of course, and this also added to Abbott's confidence.
 The day was an unusually hard one. A great quantity of structural steel that had been delayed and which had threatened to hold up the work. arrived that day and the chief of construction was buster than he had ever been. He was driving the men with furious energy. Even under the best conditions It would be well-nigh impossible to complete the bridge on time.

CHAPTER VII.
For the Son.

 The message was received In ghast- ly silence. No one spoke for a moment, None moved. Colonel Illingworth's face was fiery red. Bertram Meade was winter than any other man In the room. He was thinking of his father. The girl moved first. Her father and the young engineer were the two most deeply touched. They were both in agony, both in need of her. Unhesi- tatingly she stepped to the side of the younger. And the father saw and un- derstood even in the midst of his Suf- fering. She had chosen.
 "We are ruined" gasped the colo nel, tugging at his collar. "we could stand the financial loss, but our seputa- tion! We'll never get another con tract. might as well close the works. And 1t Is your fathers fault. It's up to him. The blood of those men Is upon his head. Well, sir, I'll let the whole world know how grossly incompetent he Is. how"

No body could know with absolute certain ty the ability of the lower chord mem. bers to resist compression. But what ever the fault, 1t is mine. My father had absolutely nothing to do with 1t.

 Hes got to bear the responsibility" cried the colonel passionately. "It has his name"
 'No. I tell you" thundered the younger man. For I'll proclaim my own responsibility. The fault is all mine and I'll publish the fact from one end of the world to the other"
 'Tt's load wouldn't want to have on my conscience" said Colonel Hing worth.
 "The ruin of a great establishment like the Martlet." added Cvctor Sey- erence.
 'The dishonor co American engineer ing" said Cartiss.
 And ,ne awful loss of life" con- fi-ued the colonel.
 'T assume them ail," protested the young man. forcing his lips to speak. although the cumulative burdens set forth so clearly and so mercilessly bade fair to crush him.
 ''It was only a mistake" protested Helen nlingworth, drawing closer to her lovers side. and with difficulty re- sisting . temptation to clasp him in her arms.
 "A mistaken exclaimed her father bitterly.
 You said yourself" urged the wom- an. turning to the chief engineer, "that you didn't know whether the designs would work out, that nobody could know. but you were convinced that they would"
 "Wait." interrupted the father. Meade, there Is one consequence you have got to bear that you haven't thought of"
 "What do you meanr
 Do you think. I'd let my daughter marry a man who had ruined me, an incompetent engineer by his own con- fession. a."
 ~It is just" said Meade. T have nothing further to do here. gentlemen. I must go to my father"
 Just or not" cried Helen nling- worth, q can't allow you to dispose of me in that way. father. If he is as blamable as he says he Is. and as you say he is, now is the time above all others for the woman who loves him to stand by him."
 Miss Illingworth, you don't know what you are saying" said Meade, forcing himself into a cold formality he did not feel. T am disgraced, shamed. There is nothing in life for me. My chosen profession-my repu- tation-everything is gone."

 Of course he would submit those pa- pers to the public at once. Was there anything else he could do7 Yes. He sat down at the desk and drew a sheet of paper before him and began to write. Slowly, tremblingly. he perse- vered. carefully weighing his words be- fore he traced them on paper. He had not written very long before the door of the outer office opened and he heard the sound of soft footsteps entering the room. He recognized the new conner.

 Shurtliff was an old bachelor, gray. thin. tall, reticenc He had but one passion-Meade, Sr.: but enc glory the reputation of the great engineer. Yes. and as there is no great passion without jealousy. Shurtliff was filled with womanly Jealousy of Bertram Meose because his father loved him and was proud of him.
