picture concerns, Major Funkhouser said. The courts, both state and feder al, have declared the city ordinances constitutional, and out of seven cases tried, the city has won six. The sev- eventh was lost on technicality, the moral censor explained. Five suits are pending.
 Two kinds of permits are granted the producers, one being called the "white" permit, and the "pink" or adult permit The latter, Major Funk houser explained was for adults only. In these pictures, some sex problems and scenes are permitted, he said.
 The number of films received week. ly for inspection runs from two hum dred to two hundred and fifty, and the moral censors are given three days to pass on picture, and issue a per init. A regular moticn picture thea ter is established in one of the larg- CT rooms of the city hall, where three screen and three motion picture ma chimes enable more than one picture to be run at the same time. As a rule, two Or more of the censors staff sit and pass judgment on one picture.
 "The city of Chicago is the only city in the country which has a civil ser vice censor board" Major Funkhouser said. "Ohio, Kansas and Pennsylvan- ia however, have state censorship boards"

U. 5. SAVED ALLIES

British Writer Says They Would Have Had to Surrender Long Ago
 or Fight on Hungry StOmachs

London, May 2S.-"It is realized by the people of this country that Ann erica has already saved us from capi- tulating to the enemy" says spec ial writer for one of London's big dai- lies.
 "Either," the writer continues, "we should have been forced into this sur render with our armies unbrcken and our munitions of war unexhaLsted, CT we should at this moment be strug- gling to live and work and fight on third of our present rations."
 The fool supplies being sent by the United States to it's allies represent, it is pointed out, "the kindly, difficult and entirely willing self-sacrifice of working people,"
 America, the article concludes, has answered England's appeal "in man. ner which marks her out as one of the greatest moral forces in the world. It should be known out there. in the farmhouses and cottages of the Am erican continent, that the people of this country, tightening their belts and confronting the future with an in- destructible confidence, are mindful of America's self-sacrifice-self-s -sacri- flee which will save the world"

Texas Steers Relish Wings
 Of AfrplaneS
Vagrant Airships in Danger of Being Devoured Out
 on Plains.

Dallas, Tex, May 25.-Discovery that Texas cattle will cat the wings o. ar airplanes if the machine is left lreuarded is one of the reasons why a general order to "stick with the mach iie, no matter what happens" is ;m- pressed upon every cadet aviator i'll training in Texas. The cadets are in- styucted particularly never to leave their "ships" in fields no matter how. far from the travelled road.
 The fact that cows have an appe- tite for airplanes was discovered on ly after one or two machines had suf- fered real loss from discriminating Texas cattle.
 The wide, supporting planes are covered with a cellulous preparation which makes them air tight, known in the technique of flying "dope," and "dope" makes as tasty meal for cows as the bovines have discovered for long time. If softens under their tongues and the cattle in their eager ness to obtain it, will chew the ex- pensive linen planes to pieces to ex-' tract the last particle of "dope" flavor
 Another reason for the order is that an airplane is a valuable piece of property with many detachable parts offering an attractive invitation to looters if one were left unprotected in a lonely field Or on a road
 Souvenir hunters, however, are much more feared than thieves. Avia- tors who have made forced landings while on cross country flights say it requires their utmost vigilance to keep curious spectators from breaking up their ships" and carrying them away piecemeal, so eager are the country people for souvenirs.
 An aviator landed recently in wheat field not far from here. The curiosity and interest in him was so great that in less than an hour, the field was so crowded that the owner of the grounr had to ask the Dallas police to clear the field to prevent his growing crops from being stamped into total loss.

Chicago, May 25.-Ten years

Chicago, May 25.-Ten years of moving picture censorship in Chicago have resulting in the elimination of hundreds of thousands of feet from films shown to more than 400, 1000 per- sons daily, according to Major M. c. Funkhcuser, second deputy superin- tendent of police, who reviewed the problems he had encountered as 'moral censor" of the second largest city in the United States, when the defended the ordinances under which he operates, from recent attacks.
 According to Major Funkhouser, the board of twelve censors, the mem- ber of which are selected by civil ser vice, and which sits in judgment on the pictures, has little or no discre- ton in ordering "cut-outs" or refus- j to issue permits, as they merely adhere to city ordinances, and the state law which rrohibits hanging scenes. The ordinances, among other things, prohibit the showing of pie lures immoral, obscene or which por- tray riotous disorderly or other un- lawful scenes which have tendency to disturb the public peace.
 153 Pictures Rejected
 Within the last year 10,694 mo- tion pictures were inspected by the censor and his aides and out of this number only 153 were rejected, Major .Funkhouser asserted. The average film is approximately 1000 feet in length and the total number of feet rejected by the censor last year was 216,556.
 The cost of maintining the censor ing department is more than paid for by the permits issued to the producers, which cost $1.00 each. Last year 29,- 697 permits were issued. The ewelve censors draw salaries ranging from $120 to $135 month.
 "The trouble with the motion pie ture producers of today is that from 20 to 40 per cent of the pictures pro- duced deal with sex, the eternal tri- angle, affinity, and white slave prob lems," Major Funkhouser declared. "As approximately 80 per cent of the motion picture audience are composed of women and children, especially children, in theatres, outside of the downtown district, and as children often obtain their ideas of morality from the pictures, a close guard is necessary to see that the pictures do not cOvey erroneous ideas"

Listen to me Take no more sick enfng, salivating calomel when bili- ous or constipated. Don't lose days work!
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, break ing it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are sluggish and "all knocked out" if your liver is torpid and bowels consti- pated CT you have headache, dizzi- ness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour just take spoon- ful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone. Here's my guarantee-Go to any drugstore and get bottle of Dcdson's Liver Tone for few cents. Take a spoonful tonight, and if it doesn't

straighten you right up or make you feel fine and vigorous by morning, want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make you sick.
 I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipat- ed waste which is clogging your sys- tenn and making you feel miserable. I guarantee that bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. It is harmless; doesn't gripe and they like it's pleas mt taste.
