PICTURE SCENE NOW IN HEART
 OF WAR REGION

A photograph showing David Wark Griffith, the motion picture director, and two of the monks in a little French village in Picardy, is perhaps one of the most interesting pictures thus far to reach the United States from the devastated regions of France. Little did MT. Griffith or his two com panions know when this photograph was taken nearly two years ago; that thsi very spot on which they stood would today be the center of interest in the world-war. From day tD day the public is learning of the heroic eff forts of our troops in giving assist ance to the British and French sol- diers in this very section of France, which has been the center of the great arena in which terrific fighting has taken place. In the little village of Ham, too, there has been encoun- ter after encounter within but few sort weeks. This section also was wis tied by MT. Griffith and his band of players in their work of securing scenes for Hearts of the World,' MT. Griffith's great drama of the war, AOlIllHS lO lLo 1OlA lhCc1lI C OISh hI Nd commencing Sunday night, Sept. 15.
 It has been just 19 months since David Wark Griffith first set foot on French soil to begin the taking of the 120,oOO feet of film that he secured for his latest screen triumph. The entire province of Picardy was visited again and again in the various tours of the Griffith party, and the blood soaked ground of the village of Ham is the exact locale where many of the most important scenes were enacted, for Hearts of the World" Lillian and Dorothy Gish. great favorites among the movie fans" and Robert Har- ron. another popular player for the films, accompanied MT. Griffith on all these tours.
 Hearts of the World" is really world history in the making, and will, in addition to it's dramatic qualities, be treasured as a rare document Of the present struggle to make the world safe for democracy.

 The labor situation in essential in- dustries continues to be alarmingly serious. War industries are short a million unskilled laborers and the shortage of skilled workers is equal ly serious.
 Governor Holcomb, when asked about the national labor situation, said:
 The government labor program has apparently been carefully work ed out and both employers and em- ployees have representatives on these important community labor boards, which shall determine what indus tries must give up men for war plants. Connecticut has not baked at any war demand of the government and am sure Connecticut will be ready to meet it's labor demand, whatever the cost be to industry which means nothing to our success in the war;
 Ira M. Ornburn of New Haven, sec retary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, expressed the belief that Connecticut employees would meet without murmur the new war labor program of the government.
 "Labor-and I use the term in its broadest sense-has enlisted in the vast army behind the lines upon which our fighting men depend to fill all of their needs. Labor can be depended upon to come across"
 Officers of the Connecticut Man ufacturers' Association said that members of the Association always have been and are today ready ac- lively to support the government full ly in it's purpose of meeting all the labor demands of war industries.

ASSOCIATION OF
 CANDY MAKERS TO A|LPRODUCTS

Although there is no state associa- t1on of confectioners in Connecticut, Federal: Food Administrator Robert Scoville is endeavoring in various ways to reap some of the benefits of reso- Iut1ons recently adopted by the As sociation of Manufacturers of Con fectionery and Chocolate of the State of New York.
 The Sugar Distribution Division of the Food Administration in Washing ton recently had a conference with a committee representing the New York state candy and chocolate mak- CTS and pointed out the absurdity of a situation which. made it difficult for person to buy two pounds of su- gar from his grocer at 10 cents a pound, but which rendered 1t perfect " easy for the same purchaser to go next door. to a confectioner to buy all the candy that could be carried away at eighty cents to a dollar a pound.
 The New York State Association promptly adopted a resolution which provided that whereas the Food Ad- ministration had put the neonIe of the United States on a ration of two pounds per month and had cut can dy makers sugar allotment to 50 per cent. of that used a year ago, and whereas the association wished to CO., operate in everey way with the Food Administration, the Association urges the consuming public to limit it's pur- chases Of candy or chocolates to ona pound at any one time and to limit US aggregate purchases to one half It's usual consumption This restric- tlon does not apply to the purcha ses or candy and chocolates for shipment 10 men and women in the Sereyice"
 Ihe association also recommended 10 Its members that the amount of shoW-Window space now used for dis play Of candies and chocolates be re- duced by one-half and the other half used for war purposes and war ac- t1vities; that the general display of | candies and chocolates be raducad to minimum: that. as the J7n;ted states Army needs all the cocoanut shells it can secure. as cocoanut can dles require but limited amount of sugar and as patriotism can be ex- pressed in the kinds of candy con- sumed. in so far as possible the man. ufacturers' display and sales of candy containing cocoanuts be encoura ged that publicity should be given to the | fact that during the summer months | the period of our greatest sugar scar | city. the purchase and consunptjon | of candides and chocolates can he greatly reduced anad desire for sweets 1 still be gratified bv the more 1ihera1 use of sufficient fruits

AMERICANS MUST
 SACRIFICE TO WIN
CWritten by Fannie Hurst for the
 National Security League)

(Written by Fannie Hurst for the National Security League)
 In motion picture house the other evening I saw fade-out of G. sage, kindly, twinkling Uncle Sam slowly and subtly supplanted by a cruel, menacing face beneath tin helmet.
 A shudder rippled over the audi ence. It was as if the mailed fist had rapped sharply, ominously. .t
 Then, through the fog of war, came the kindly face again, 0 little tiredly, a little lined, but the old slow smile there and the eyes at Peace.
 It is up to every American man, woman and child to bring just that to pass. The tin hemet is lowering over the world. Its descent would be so punitive that if more of us realized it's steely horror, it's weight, it's oppres- siveness, our pacifsts and luke-warm patriots would be jared into a reali- zation that peace can be worse than war.
 The victory of Germany would mean a Prussianization of the Stars and Stripes, each star state-of subser- vience.
 At every American's shoulder, breathing on his neck, would stalk a shadow of the Kaiser.
 Little children, nurtured in the sun of democracy. would feel the tighten ing, pointed fingers of the mailed fist in their tender flesh. It is a great menacing shadow up there against the sky of the world, that cruel, blood-thirsty face beneath the tin helmet.
 It is going to take the love, the loyalty, and the give-all spirit of every American to blot it into a permanent fade-out and to replace it with that kindly, bearded face beneath the Stars and Stripes stove pipe.

NEW\L LABOR PROGRAM TO BE ENFORCED THROUGHOUT THE
 COUNTRY BY LABOR BOARDS
Essential Work Retarded By Lack of Unskilled Work CTS, When Many Are Engaged in Establishments Which Might Use Women and Release Men For Essential Work in War Industries.

The task and Jurisdiction of com munity labor boards fourteen of which have been established in Con necticut is outlined in a statement by Nathan A. -Smythe of Washington, Assistant Director General of the Federal Employment Service. MT. Smythe's statement follows:
 ''The community labor boards are charged with the responsibility of de- termining the methods which snaIi govern the U. S. Employment Service in attempting to recruit for war work men from industries which are not directly connected with the pros- ecution of the war. The power to de- to close up non-essential industries by shutting off supplies rests W ith the War Industries Board.
 Tt is within the province of each community labor board to list those non-war industries in it's commun- ity which will first be called upon to contribute men to war work.
 This does not mean that such in dustries will be compelled to close up or to discharge theirs male em- ployees at once but with as much speed as may be necessary to meet the national emergency they will re- lease male workers.
 Much work essential to one pro- gram is being seriously retarded by lack of unskilled labor. In this sit suation it is obviously wrong to have able-bodied men continuing to sell candy, cigars and like articles, to be doing work in shops and stores which might with reasonable effort on the part of the employers be en- trusted to women and to be dancing attendance in clubs, barber shops, soft drink establishments, bowling all leys, dancing academies and else where.
 Our war industries are suffering severely for lack of skilled mechan- ics. It therefore becomes a burden upon the conscience of every person who employs a chauffeur to deter

DUTCH FAT RATION
 ONE OUNCE PER

Washington, Aug. 31-The fat ra- tion in Holland has been reduced to slightly less than one ounce avoir- dupois daily for each person, and further reduction Is in prospect, ac- cording to advices of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic. Commerce, This ration not only includes butter eaten with bread, but also butter. margarine and other substitutes used in cooking.
 i The production of butter in Hol- land is about half of that of two years ago when there was enough for all ordinary purposes The Dutch gov ernment has given notice that the fat ration may have to be cut to half an ounce before next spring. The but ter shortage is attributed to the lack of fodder. which can not be imported
