It means that men be- .N cen the ages of Is and 45 are either g ing to be called for active service, oy they will work in certain industries and at the same time drill to be able .o take care of the country when those called have gone.

DO HUMAN BEINGS REALLY GROW UP?

A great philosopher once said that human beings never grow up-we get larger in stature and accumulate a veneer of dissimulation that thickens as the years multiply, but deep down in our hearts we always remain chil- dren and surreptitious ever cling to babyIand.
 Nonsense, you say. Well, what of the night before Christmas when you got out the new toys for the children and found keen enjoyment in seeing how they worked? And what of Christmas morning when you forgot to pretend for a little while and played with the kiddies just like you were one of them? No-you have not grown up and you never will, and it is this fact that has made the ad- mirers of little Marie Osborne, Pathe's baby star, number legions.
 To sit ill the Pathe offices and watch the stream of mail that comes in a constant stream, addressed to lit tie Miss Osborne from the picture fans in all parts of the world is a revela- ton of human nature.
 When the baby appears in a pie ture driving a. pony cart or playing with some new toy, thousands of let ters are received, not only from chill dren, but from grown-ups, expressing the pleasure they derived from view ing the picture and asking 8 thou sand questions regarding the home life of the little star.
 The keenness with which they fol- low the adventures of the baby and the depth of their sympathy is shown when the screen story happens to show the baby snubloed by a more for tunate neighbor or in some trouble with her playmates, These scenes aI- ways bring forth a great volume of letters expressing the indignation of the writers at the treatment accorded the little star. When the baby is in trouble the fighting spirit of the pie ture fans seems to be immediately aroused, and if their demands were met, severe punishment would be meted out to every member of the cast who appears to have hurt the little screen star.
 So you see we are all children and we are interested in children, espe- cially in clever ones, and Baby Marie Osborne proves that the wise old phil osopher was correct when he said that human beings never grow up.

SANE CENSORSHIP
 HIGHLY DESIRABLE

Sane censorship would be a good in Los Angeles, but the matter of sane censorship is a very hard thing to secure" declared C. B. DeMllle, director-general of the Famous Play ers-Lasky corporation, commenting upon the recent move by the cAty council of Los Angeles to create the position of a. local motion picture cen- SOr.
 If censorship is conducted in any city on reasonable grounds, it will be of value, not only to the public, but to the motion picture industry. In Los Angeles at the present time, for instance, there are a few pictures seen on the screen which should un- doubtedly be consigned to the flames. They are 8 bad thing for the industry, casting discredit upon the legitimate producers who, I believe, are doing the best they can to produced good, clean pictures.
 ''The great difficulty" continued MT. DeMille, lis to secure a cenJfor- ship which is not czar-like. In cer- tain cities, notably Chicago, we have had examples of censorship Nin which the official sets himself up not only as guardian of public morals but also as a critic of art. It is a condition similar to that which has applied 1T Russia There the country has beer burdened by high officials who, over stepping their natural rights, have fol personal or other reasons made themselves censors of matters botf civil and religious, denying to the pub lie things which are theirs by inalien. able right.
 We have no room for czar-like censors in America. Let them ac with due reason and within their linn itations. But let them keep their fin gers off the matter of artistic criti cism. If a film production contain matters which they would bar fo purely personal reasons, such censor have no right to their position. Let IL have sane censorship is my earn ss DIea''

In dividing his time between the studies of the East and West, Mr. Laslzy is able to keep in direct touch with all the producing activities of the big organization.
 Just prior to his departure from New York, Mr. Lasky expressed great enthusiasm over the manner in which Nll the work in the various studioes IS progressing.
 with the beginning of the New Year. said Mir. Lasky, T have no hes- tauon in saying that presently l can zee only success of the most f1atterlng character ahead. Present-day condi- lions demand that we extend greater efforts than ever in our endeavor to cheer the nation"
 In it's December issue, the Motion Picture Magazine began @ contest to determine which photoplays in the opinion of the public, were the finest and strongest produced during the year 1917. A response came from 1000 readers, and when the votes were :abulated only those subjects receiving at least sfty endorsements were con- sidered. Mary Pickford, in Aircraft pictures, held first, second and third 'oositions, according to the February issue of the magazine, in ''The Little American,'' Poor Little Rich Girl" and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. !"
 Of the thirty eight plays listed, six teen are Paramount and Aircraft pie lures. Douglas Fairbanks, in Down to Earth" followed Mary Pickford, and received 8 large number of votes In Tn Again.
