Vinegar Baths and Violet Rays
Testify Against Nat Goodwin

Mat c. GOODWIN, actor, was in
y the Supreme Court yesterday,
trying to prove that the Mirror Film
Company should be compelled to pay
him $4,000 back salary for dramatic
services. According to Goodwin, who
came to court with his wife, Mrs.
Margaret Moreland Goodwin, his name
and fame were used by the Mirror
company to reflect its financial posi-
bilities. Telling Of conversation with
Clifford B. Harmon, real estate man
and president of the Mirror Film Com
pany, Goodwin testified yesterday: ~
said to him that he got $30O,OOO selling
stock in his company through my name
and had brought people to the studio
to show me off like an animal" Good
win complained that ne was discharged
because the ready money ran out
Mr.. Harmon's story did not quite
agree with Goodwin. He said that he
was compelled to discharge the actor,
who was drawing $3.50 week, be-
cause he wasted the time of the COM
pany by appearing for work one to
three hours late and frequently not
fitted for work. IL demonstrated with

but the fault of the 'rotton Director "
One picture needed a Southern scene.
Goodwin suggested New Orleans as the
place where the best Southern atmos-

For Defence Councila
Calls Extension to All Com

Significance

NEWARK, N. j., March 18.-Forme er
Mayor Thomas L. Raymond, chairman
of the State Council of Defence, is in
receipt of the following letter from
President Wilson,:
"Your state, in extending it's nation
al defence organization by the crea-
tion of community councils, is, in my
opinion, making an advance of vital
significance. 1t will, | believe, result,
when thoroughly carried out. in weld
ing the nation together as no nation
of great size has ever been welded be-
fore. 1t will build up from the bottom
an understanding and sympathy and
unity of purpose and effort which will
no doubt have an immediate and deci
slve effect upon our great undertaking.
You will find it, think, not so much
new task as q unitication of existin.
efforts, fusion Of. energies now too
much scattered and at times somewhat
confused, into one harmonious and ef-
fectve power.
p 1T is only by extending your or
ganization to small communities that
every citizen of the state can be
reached and touched with the inspira-
ton of the common cause. The school
mouse mas been suggested as an apt
though not essential centre fer vour
local council. 1t symbolizes one Of tho
first fruits of such an organization
namely, the spreading of the realiSa'
tion of the great truth that it is each
one of us as an individual citizen unon
whom rests the ultimate responsibil;tv
Through this great new organjza-
ton we will express with added ON

National Party
Opposes Taking
Of Express Firms
Refuses TO Back McAdoo's
Suggestion to Seize
Carriers
BY BRIGGS

David C. Coates, chairman Of the new
National party, whose first convention
was held in Chicago two weeks ago,
said yesterday that the National party
was opposed to the suggestion made by
Secretary McAdoo to take over the ex-
press companies of the country.
"Thc National party" said Chairman
Coates, ":s against having the govern
ment of the United States spend the
peoples money for utilities which are
obsolete or are being displaced by
economic evolution because of their in
nate uselessncss. Express companies
fall within this category. The express
companies have nothing to sell that
should prove attractive to the Federal
government as purchaser. The Fed
eral parcel post is rapidly displacing
them, making their franchises or COR
porate rights of questionable future
value.
For the government to step forward
at TINS time when these companies are
on thc way to the scrap heap and pay
good money for them is glariag abuse
oil the functions of the government,
and is, In fact, playing right into the
hands OF The great financial interests.
About all the express companies have
lett is q lo5 OF wagons and trucks and
horses, office quarters and the like.
The government should leave them
to die natural death, and if they
show signs of living too long acceler-
ate their demise by we'll considered
action in extending the parcel post
system
"Thc National party is in favor Of
public ownership, operation and demo-
cratic control of steam and electric
&allroads, shipping, telegraph and tclc-
phone systems, coal and metal mines,
Water power, natural gas and oil wells,
light and power plants, timber lands.
terminal warehouses and elevators.
packing plants and flour mills, and ali
other public utilities and basic indus
tries which depend on franchise or re-
qulre large scale operation on q non
competitive or centralized basis.
Yet we are strenuously opposed to
the idea that Secretary McAdoo should
unload on the government string Of
express companies on the road to com
plete obsolcscence.
"The executive officers of the Ma
tional party will see to it that tho
members of Congress are du!v enlirht-
cncd about the unwisdom Of. poyern-
mental ownership of utilities that ara
drying up from disuse."
