Those .Flattering Films

From October Film Fun.
 Next to an unretouched photographed the moving picture screen is the greatest flatterer in the world. It doesn't flatter those who appear in the pictures much as those who sit in front and watch them.
 Nobody can attend a moving picture show without being reasonably confident that he has assimilated everything. It is not like the spoken drama. where one learns, on picking up the paper the next morning, that he missed just about half the subtletes in the performance and came near losing the big idea of the whole thing. Everything is right where all of us can get each detail without effort and in grabbing those details we find great matters for self-congratula- tion.

AUTOMOBILE TAX . CUT IN HALF BY
 SENATE COMMITTEE
Rapid Progress Being Made in Revision of War Reve- nue Bill, and Number of

 In reducing the tax on passenger au- tomobiles and motorcycles to per cent the committee fixed the same impost on such vehicles as on automobile trucks and tractors. The 10 per cent tax placed by the House OH automobile tires and accessories also was reduced to , per cent.
 House taxes of 10 per cent on sporting goods, cameras and photographic sup plies were accepted The tax on chew by the House. was reduced to per cent, but the House levy of 10 per cent on candy was approved
 The House provisions levying taxes jon fire arms and ammunition when sold other than to the government were ac- cepted as was the provision levyins 10 per cent tax on yachts and other

ALABAMA'S HEALTH OFFICER AIDING ID
 CLASSIFY DOCTORS
Dr. Welsch Comments on Cordial Relations With. The Public Health
 Service,
By HIGH. ". ROBERTS

Washington, October S--(Speeial. )--Dr. s. w. Welch of Taladega, state health officer for Alabama, is temporarily con- .nected with pr. Franklin Martin, chair man of the committee dealing with health and medicine for the war industries board
 The work consists of reducing to code the applications from Alabama for mem- bership in the volunteer medical service corps. An Alabama doctors answer to questions places him automatically in class, so that when the men are called.
 into active service by the provost mar shal general, they will be called in ac- cordance with the code which has been fixed by the answers to the question naires
 Dr. Welchs attention has been called by Surgeon General Blue of the public health service to a publication in The
 Age Herald of September &, in which through error it was made to appear that differepces regarding the collection of vital statistics as practiced in Ala bama were differences between the state ana the public health service The diff
 ferences were differences between the state and the census bureau.
 IDr Weich says: There has never been any misunderstanding between the United States public health service and the state board of health of Alabama. The trou- ble has always been with the census bureau. The model law which contem- plates the collection of vital and mor- tuary statistics by the central office came in collision with Dr. Sanders idea of col lectng the statistics by counties. This was the sole bone of contention between the census bureau and the state board | of health, Dr. Sanders refusing to yield, | and pr. F. Gressey Wilbur severely crit icising. The arrangement made by me which will bring about recognition by the census bureau of the state board of health of Alabama, contemplates the adoption of the model law by the incom | ing legislature.
 'I would appreciate the correction made as conspicuously as the original 1 interview was published because l would dislike very much to give offense to the 1 United States public health service as it 1 has been exceptionally kind to me since | I have been state health officer and
 has made it possible to accomplish great things in Alabama which would not have otherwise been accomplished on account of our limited means"

CUTS HUN SHARES

''The response of President Wilson. by its sincerity and good faith. cuts with a single stroke the snares laid by Prince Maximilian of Baden. President Will son responds by asking: What do you mean? Do you accept my conditions? Do you speak in the name of the gov- ernment and the people,? He requires before any negotiations that Germany evacuate the invaded territory of France, Belgium. Serhia, Russia. Poland. Ruma- mia and Montenegro. This is an answer similar to that given the Duke of Bruns- wick after his defeat at Valmy.'
 La Liberte says:
 We know already that the French government felicitates itself without re- serve. The country will unanimously share this sentiment. With high con- science the President of the United States has comprehended that he is not an arbiter but a belligerent. The Presi- dents note also established what guar antee must first be given before he and the allies will even be able to examine the proposition"
