Rio de Janerio, (Specialo-Before the

OF the American and his activities was
vast-as vast as the average Ameri-l
cans ignorance OF the Brazilian and his
affairs.
Now, after more than three years of
war confusion. the Brazilian has his
ideas about the Yankee, and fairly
clear IDEAS they are, toe. The change
was brought about by an utterly un-
expected agent-the American motion
picture film.
Much has beer said and written
about the tightening OF Pan-American
ties. Conventions there were at which
representatives of the more thar 20
western continent republics banqueted
ana made speeches. Commercial In
terests strove to weave tight the web
OF business relations. Diplomats piled
plans and policies for the common ac-
ceptance Of the Monroe doctrine. The
press OF the two continents clamored
Tor a Qualification of American sim
terests. But he man who is putting
is the tmpressario of the cellu-
loid stage.
For it follows, as day follows night,
that Pan-American ties of friendship
are possible only when the friends are
acquainted with each other. Seeing
American implements OF progress IN
action creates a commercial demand
Tor those implements. Living enc
OF the American in his home and bust
ness makes the American character
understood and appreciated, and the
task OF the diplomat becomes easy.
Formerly he had to combat the notion
that Americans soul was stamped
with the dollar sign, n that his in
stincts were imperialistic. The interest
aroused by screen pictures of America
mas caused eman for news and know
ledge OF the happenings in that. coun-
try n the olumns Of the press now
show a fair proportion OF events made
In U. s.. "A. And the picture plays
the thing that did it.
Before the war Brazil was receiving
practically all OF Its motion picture
films from Europe. principally from
France and Italy. But the film BUSH
cessities, it was one OF the first to suf-
Ter. Many OF the stars OF European
hlmdom literally became shooting
stars. having been called to the
trenches, and h feminine portion took
to Red2Cross and knitting. Materials
used in production OF films were need
ed for munitions. Transportation to
South America became difficult. The
result was that the European supply
OF films was almost completely cutsoff.

BONE DRY PETITION
WILL STOP LARGE VOLUME OF
PERJURY IN COLORADO.
Filed With Secretary of State holland,
Contains 1886 Signatures; Vote
to Come in November.

The Colorado Anti-Saloon League
has filed with Secretary of State
James r. holland petitions for an
amendment to the liquor laws which
will make this state "bone dry" The
petitions contained 33 1856 signatures,
of which 10000 were obtained in Dem
yer. Under the election laws, it re-
quired but 81 ,467 signatures
They were bound in four large vol
umes, and the services of an express
man were needed to convey them from
the leagues headquarters to the CAPT
toll. If the petitions are found suffi-
cient under the law, the proposed
amendment will be placed before the
voters in the November election.
The amendment, according to the
trainers, clamps down the liquor lid
as far as it will go, in that it prohib-
it's the importation of liquor except
for medicinal or sacramento pur-
poses. 1t differs from the present law
in that no provision is made whereby
resident may obtain two quarts of
whisky month thru the permit sys-
tenn.

the petitions for the signers are

tions were officially accepted by Sec

PUEBLO, Colo, June 5.-Members
of Street Railway Employees, Division
662, have been busy attending spe-
cial meetings for the past few weeks.
The executive board has had the
wage question up for discussion with
the management of the company for
the past six weeks, and several spe-
cial meetings of the membership have
been called and the question freely
discussed. At the meeting this week
the board submitted the final offer
from the company, which the men,
bers voted to accept. However, this
offer must be passed upon by the
directors of the company before the
matter is finally. settled.
Our union has been growing of late,
as nearly all the barn and plant men
have been coming in. Our meetings
are held at the hour of / a. M, and
it seems that it is hard for a good
many of the brothers to attend. How
ever, the regular meetings are held
only once a month. During the past
six weeks we had to secure the large
hall, as the attendance was so good.
Under good and welfare, Brother
Easterly made a very interesting
talk on Attendance" Brother Kouns
spoke on Demand the Label" and
DrOther CaIrOlS subject was True
Unionism." These talks were en-
joyed by all present.
Next week we expect to be able to
announce that we have secured a
substantial increase for all our MEM
bers.
Brother Otto Leeper left the first
of this week for Rochester, Mimi,
where he will undergo a very serious
operation at the Mayo Brothers hos
pital. We wish him a speedy re-
covery.
Brother Phil Smith departed one
day this week for Clark, Mo-, on a
