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 0. Kerr, stationed at Birmingham England, who notifies the secretary of commerce that "the only recommends don offered by renting agents as to any improvements desired in American films Is request for Hess of the sex ual problemw 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 ual 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.

MACK WANTS GOOD PITCHING
Athletics Greater Factor in Race for Pennant

"Give us good pitching-not the best, but just good, consistent work on the mound-and they'll have to look out for us.'
 That's the way Connie Mack sized up his rejuvenated Athletics.
 We've reached the point where we are likely to do anything. We have a club that is peculiar. It is composed of men who can do many things" said Mack. Everyone of them is differ ent. They're not recognized stars yet, but they can hit and they can run the bases, and the pitchers are finding out how to pitch. They'll make runs, and they'll hit most any kind of pitching. All need is good, steady work on the mound"
 Mack said he was depending a great deal on the work of Bush, Meyers, Johnson and Noyeg

MAY REPLACE BETHMANN-H -HOLLWEG

A sedate, spectacled old profes- sor, en route from Vienna via Munich, drops his grip, so to speak, in a Berlin hotel. In a jiffy there's a terrible bother. The quidnuncs gossip. The junkers squirm. The peace-cotes flut- ter. Reventlow howls. Plain to see, the old gentleman's visit, while well come to some, is distinctly unwelcome to others. But 1t matters little to him. He has come to the capital with an urgent, important message, and there is enough firmness in his jaw to show you that he intends to see the busi- ness through. He's a dogged old party, this fellow, albeit he's seventy three. So he sits and waits for the storm to settle, wondering the while if, when he goes back to Munich, there'n be another medal in his grip.

To re-enforce the present organi- zation of the American National Red Cross, to broaden the scope of its ac- tivities and thereby make 1t a more efficient instrument in the carrying on of the war to which the country stands committed, President Wilson has ere ated Red Cross war council and has placed at its head Henry P.

 The organization of the council by MT. Davison, is now under way. In speaking of its work the distinguished financier says:
 "The Red Cross can be not only an agency for the alleviation of suffering on the battlefield, but it can exert a great psychological influence and can increase the man power of the allies. In other words, the re-enforcements of the organization which we have in mind if SuppOrted by the public will

LASHES FOOD PIRATES

Notwithstanding the perils con- fronting the nation in entering into war, the duration and horrors of which no one can foretell, the food gamblers and food exploiters are car rying on their nefarious work just as in the days of peace.
 The situation is such that it has been given official notice and in words that will long leave a sting Carl Vroo- man, assistant secretary of agricul- ture, assails these food pirates and economic parasites and calls for im- mediate action to check them. Even a man as conservative as Joseph Letter, formerly wheat king of Chicago, de nounces them and says that the man who today speculates in grain or in any kind of foodstuffs should be hanged from specially constructed gallows.

Representative Augustus P. Gard ner of Massachusetts has resigned from congress to enter the army. MT.

LIFT YOUR cORNS
 OFF WITH FINGERS How to loosen a tender corn or calIus so 1t lifts out
 without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority.
 He says that a few drops of drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out.
 This drug dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding skin.
 A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
 If your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get small bottle of freezone for you from his wholesale drug house.-adv.
