URGE the Boycottof Sex" Pictures

this growing practice OF commercial
izing the sex appeal and laTlass and
criminal tendencies.
We ask you TO make reasonable
effort TO find out the nl,u'e of film
before you 90 into theatre ar allow
your children to -. We are lad in
this connection ID lie able 10 state
taat the local management IN Monroe
has expressed itself as deploring pres
ent conditions and as being ready and
willing at all times TO cooperate with
the public in ascertaining the nature
of the films, as well as TO receive sug-
gestions and register objections and
preferences. The public is invited by
the Monroe management TO use the
telephone TO find out IL there 5 any
thing objectionable in film that is
being run. We have no doubt that
similar courtesies are to be found ev-
erywhere else in the county where
there is a moving picture theatre.
we dc not believe that the major
ity of the film-seeing public OF this
county wish to encourage by their at
tendance the exhibition of scenes that
are debasing. Therefore ii is with
the utmost confidence that We call
upon YOU TO let the theatre managers
know what you want and what you do
not want.
There is however a growing DIN
Guilty, and perhaps 1t is the most dan
gerous feature of all II is the fact
that has been commented upon con-
siderably recently. that even in the
best'of films there is introduced some
where. often with little or no con
nection with the general plot. some
scene that is improperly, debaslngl!
suggestive.
we know of no better way, II you
are in a theatre when such scene Is
shown. than to register your disap'
proval By leaving the house at once
and informing the management why
YOU did so. Such action could be re-
ported to the film producers with tell
ing effect.
I'VE have nothing here to say Of
the claim of the producers that tht
theatre going public is responsible
for the present condition. But we dc
feel that the power to improve thai
condition lies with you, the patrons
of the theatre, and we appeal to you
herein to use that power to the utmost
of your capacity. prayerfully. in thu
name of Him who said, blessed are
the pure in heart, for they shall see

Novel Gasoline Alarm,

One OF the most uncomfortable
things in the world is suddenly TO
discover. when one is motoring far
from a supply station, that the gaso-
line tank is empty or nearly so. Ev-
cry automobile driver meets with an
adventure Of this sort at one time
or another.
There ought surely TO be some con-
trivance that would give timely ad-
vance warning TO the notorist of such
a happening.
A device newly patented by VIII
liam Crab, OF Wateryille. Ohio, per-
forms this useful duty admirably. IL
is very simple, consisting of a fioat
that hangs ON the end OF vertical
rod which passes upward through the
cap of the gasoline tank and with its
upper end holds suspended ball of
metal.
As the surface level OF the fluid in
The tank is lowered the float. OF
course, descends eorTespondingly. The
rod attached TO the float. deseends
with the latter Through a tubel UNI
iii the metal ball dangling from the
upper end OF the rod is low enough
TO hang within cup formed by an
inverted bell which surmounts the
tank cap,
The upper end of the rod is bent
in a curve. so that the metal ball
attached TO its extremity by a short
chain may dangle directly above the
middle of the cup-shaped bell.
The movement of the automobile
keeps the metal ball constantly swing
ing to and fro. But il cannot strike
the sides of the bell until the low
ering of the float in the tank has
caused il TO descend to a certain
point, which may be determined be-
forehand by adjustment of the float
Therefore. when the driver hears
the bell ringing il warns him that
he has got only just SO much gaso-
line left. And the bell. having started
keeps on ringing and demanding at
tention TO the emergency.

ALBUQUERQUE TO OPEN "AIR" HOTEL
WILL BE MODEL AUTO CAMP GROUND
RY LOHN S. GOTSHALIL


Albuquerque will be able to take
care of the first spring crop of au-
tomobile tourists in royal style. The
unsanitary, dirty, ineonveniennt
city camp grounds will not stare
the motorist in the face and make
him wish he's had enough sense 10
stop before he got to town.
Instead of finding this sort of a
convenience nuisance, he'll find
himself directed to Albuquerque's
"Open-Air Hotel"
why, you can't miss it," you'll
be telling him ITS that sort Of
park back up Fourth street--just
across from the Fourth street
school building. Finest arrange
ment in the west" you'll probably
add.
"Convenienccs? Sure, everything
from a store to a shower bath. "
And you won't be lying TO him,
either.
Camp grounds throughout the
country have developed into a pest
both for the cities and for the tour
lists.
Tramps Arc Camp Pests.
They've become the homes of
the tourist tramp" H. b. Watkins,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, explained yesterday. The
tramp is a messy sort of person
and he doesn't add much to the
looks or sanitation of the place.
Most camps which cities have tried
to make convenient for the actual
tourist have been run into the
ground by these tramps who may
camp for months, using the city,
heat, light, water and other con-
veniences and making the place so
dirty that honest4to-god outdoor
tourists don't like the looks of
things"
albuquerque has been no excep-
ton in her experience in the city
auto camp proposition. Realizing
that something must be done and
that the desirable type of tourist
who likes to eat and sleep out
doors is well able to pay for the
privileges and for actual conven-
fences offered him in CLAIM, SAN
itary place, Carl Parsons has de-
cided to take the matter off the
city's hands and run such a place
for tourists as private enterprise

EXPOSITION PARK IN
LOS ANGELES TO HAVE
FOREST OF THE, STATES

Los Angeles, Calf, March 3
A forest of the states" is planned
for Exposition park, here. by the
Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce.
1t is hoped to obtain from every
state in the union, as we'll as from
Hawaii, Porto Rico. Guam. Philip
pines and Alaska, a tree represent
alive of the district from which it
comes.
They will be planted and cared
for by the Los Angeles municipal
park commission.
The governor of each state is to
be asked to send a tree typical of
his state. In some cases the re-
quests have been forwarded and. in
the cases of Idaho and Louisiana,
favorable responses have been re-
ceived. Idaho will be represented
by a white pine and Louisiana by
a magnolia.
Every state in the union is rep
resented here by a society of its
former residents. who, because of
the plan for forest Of states"
look forward to the time when
they may hold their annual outings
in Los Angeles in the shade of a
tree from their own home state"

STATE T0URNAM ENT is
ONLY WAY TO SETTLE
BASKETBALL DISPUTE

With practically every prep and
high school basket ball team in the
state claiming the championship. a
state tournament looms up as the
only satisfactory way to settle the
question.
The views expressed in the fol-
lowing letter to the Journal from
A. c. Owens, coach at Menaul
school, seem to be held by all state
coaches and will probably turn the
tournament into an actually.
Coach owens letter follows:
The present writer is in accord
with other coaches in the state that
a tournament would be necessary
to determine what school has the
best basket ball team for the pres
ent year. Every team that l have
seen play, albuquerque High
school, Albuquerque Indians, Santa
Fe High school. Menaul school,
Fort Sumner and Clovis. appear to
have very erratic half-hours. Until
last Friday night l thought that
Menaul was supreme in this section
but Albuquerque High came out
and won by q one-sided score.
There was no comparison between
the playing of the two teams. Yet
we had previously defeated them
by a one-sided score and later de-
feated them 1916 on some more
off nights
"As you know. Santa F'e High
won from Albuquerque High twice
and Menaul won twice from Santa
Fe. Figure 1t out to suit yourself
I saw the Fort Sumner and half
the Clovis game here against Albu-
querque High school and believe
that both were off their game
somewhat, They have every ap-
pearance of basket ball material
and in a series of games would, |
believe, make the other fellows
hustle. The Albuquerque Indians
are dangerous aggregation that
should not be overlooked. They
have not played a very large sched-
ule and for that reason have not
received the attention that they
would win in tournament.
