WHAT Is AN AIR RAID
TO A FAIRBANKS PICTURE

The popularity of the motion pic
ture is equally as tremendous in the
American camps in England and be-
hind the lines in France as it is at
home, says the August Motion Pic
tire magazine. The part it plays in
the lives of our soldier boys over
there is graphically depicted in a
letter written by a New York boy
to his mother from a training camp
rear London.

ed" he wrote. American movies
ere paramount (not a pun). | was
watching Doug Fairbanks in some of
his latest stunts the other night,
when the show was interrupted by
the boom of guns and the clang OF
bells, and across the screen there
flashed the notice that the air raid
warning had just sounded. Of course
the show was off, and right in the
midst of the most interesting part of
1t, too. was disappointed. | can
see an air raid on any star-lit night,
nut a movie, and a Fairbanks one
at that, is an epoch here.

SHOULD PRODUCE MUCH
AND CONSUME LITTLE

The New York Tribune recently
said editorially that Victory is a
question of means" and then it went
on to list the means. These are;
First, the raw materials.
Second, the plants where raw ma
terials are converted by industrial
processes into slnews of war.
Third, the labor to act upon the
raw materials.
Fourth, the fighting man power in
uniform.
Fifth, transportation.
Labor and materials, in other
words, are what are necessary to win
the war. What, then, is the duty of
all of us? Obviously what We must
90 is to produce all that is possible
and consume as little as necessary
and give the government our utmost
financial support.
