LIP READING BEING
TAUGHT BY MOVIES

Well. well. the movies are doins
IT. without our will or conscious
ness. they are uplifting US all and
making of US better, wiser and more
accomplished members of the hu-
man race. Yes. and doing it subtly.
painlessly.
am not referring to the So
called educational films which show
US habits of birds and the growth
of a flower and the rivers of South
America and China.
No. it's the other sort / mean -
the plays that lure US in with hints
OF pleasures and send US home
quickened with fascinating bits Of
wisdom.
For example. take the trick of
lip reading which we're all imbib-
ing from attendance at the motion
picture shows. Subconsciously we
learn to distinguish yes from
no" VILLAIN" from darling" when
pouted or grimaced upon the face
OF any efficient screen actor. What's
more. some Of us become so skilled
as to know when the foreign viii
Iainess is talking East Side brogue
instead of the Partisan French
which the captions would have US
believe to be her mother tongue.
That one accomplishment, LIP
reading. is worth thousands of en-
trance fares to motion picture
shows. it is agreed. In this trick
the nation is becoming more and
more proficient. Who knows? Per-
haps some day. when the rasp and
roar of our great cities have dulled
our ears, all of US cinema fans will
thank our stars that we're able to
converse without uttering a sound.

POLITICAL DUEL
WAGED BY WIRE
Carter Glass and Will Hays
Burn EN- Up With
Charges and Such.

Right on the heels of the jackson
Day banquet. with the rift in the
Democratic lutte. came telegraphic
tilt between Secretary Of the Treas
ury Carter Glass and VIII H. Hays.
chairman of the Republican National
Republican Committee. It opened the
day after the dinner.
! Secretary Glass wired Mr.. Hays on
Friday. asking him IL he had said
the name of every buyer Of Liberty
bonds had been put on the Demo-
cratic mailing list for the forthcom-
ing campaign.
On Saturday, Mr. Glass was in re-
ceipt of q 400-word telegram from the
Republican chairman. Mr.. Hays dis
avowed the remark attributed to
him, but stated he would repeat that
the Democratic administration had
sent out thousands of tons of propa-
ganda to Liberty bond buyers during
the paper shortage. and that all of
it was paid for by the taxpayers
money.
Five hundred words sizzled back to
Mr.. Hays yesterday. The message
was signed by Mr.. Glass and denied,
in toto. the charge OF Mr.. Hays. II
also answered a query OF Mr.. Hays
relative to the Democratic committee
drawing drafts on bankers whose
banks are repositories Of government
funds. Mr.. Glass denies knowledge of
such practice. but suggests that per-
haps chairmen OF both political COM
mittees have drawn on banks having
government deposits.
The insinuation that the Treasury
has been a party to financial transac-
tons of the Democratic National
Conmittee the Secretary stamps as
''intolerabIy false"
