HOT WATER ALWAYS AT HAND
and Steam From the lnnunaeraale
Geysers Of Iceland.

The hot-water fountains of Iceland
are on mounds averaging seven feet In
height, the top of each Of which forms
the edge of q sort Of basin, From
these basins the steam of boiling wa
ter can be seen rising and the over
now of water Ia continuous, The con-
tents of these basins Is as clear az
crystal and one can see to a gTeats
depth, While just below the surface
ire many wonderfully beautiful white
incrustations, to obtain samples 81
which many a YisitQg to Iceland has
burned his fingers. The petrifications
caused by the boiling water streams
from the geysers include birch and
willow leaves grass and rushes SEEM
ingly converted into marble.
At no time is it entirely safe to
loiter III the vicinity of one of these
bott0mleSs basins, for the geyser has
a way of spoutifg and gives no adj
vance warning. Sometimes there will
be a shoot of boiling water to a height
of Is feet, followed by succession OF
jets The highest shoot of which there
Is any record was 90 feet.
: Occasionally basin will for some
unexplained reason become entirely
empty, or will give forth "steam
Shoot" which, in the form of a column
of spray and vapo" at least 60 feet In
height, presents a really magnificent
spectacle.

to what shall be the regulation and who shall do the regulating The national board of reviews at New York City is composed of representa- t1ves of various moral and civic or ganizations. The expenses of this board are paid by more of the lead ing motion-picture interests, and it has no legal authority. At the re- quest of the manufacturers this board passes upon the pictures. It is esti- mated that more than 95 per cent of all pictures produced in this coun- try are passed upon by this unofficial board.
 In addition to this voluntary board there are numerous official censors, both states and municipal. The es- tablishment of such large numbers of these local boards, which are rapidly increasing, clearly demon strate the inadequacy of the so-called national board of review, which by it's very unofficial character can not exercise effective supervision. Though it were to exercise a careful and in telligent supervision over 95 per cent of all pictures, still there would re- main per cent which could be i'm moral and unfit to be shown. It is only fair to assume that those pic lures which are most objectionable will not voluntarily be submitted for review. An unofficial board which has not the right to examine 100 per cent of the pictures Is in reality not board of regulation but board of recommendation and approval. As a matter of fact evidence before the committee dfcloses that very con- siderable percentage of the pictures approved by the unofficial board are declared by the local boards unfit for exhibition.
 A statement submitted to the con gressional committee, signed by at torneys of the five largest and best known film producers, says in part: Unfortunately the public is not yet discriminating and goes to see both bad and good, which are usually to be found upon the weekly program of the same theater. Still more un- fortunately, the vicious pictures being the larger return to exhibitor and producer, because it gets the money of the regular customer and the sensation seeker also This state of affairs constitute a temptation hard to resist and in fact, the pro- duction of vicious pictures is con- stantly increasing just because they are more profitable"

CENSORSHIP
 FILM BILL IS
 BEING URGED
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-(Special Correspondence) - The international reform bureau is urging congress to | pass the federal film censorship bill. | Because of the shortness of the ses- sion it is unlikely that such bill can be enacted into law before this congress adjourns. At the next con gross, however, the international re- to put through the legislation. Other agencies for the moral uplift are al- lied with the international reform bu- reau in the crusade to secure a fed eral film law, the most prominent being the Methodist board of tenn perance, prohibition and public mor- als. The head of the movement is Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of the international reform bureau. Dr. Crafts is reformer, par excel | lence. It Is said he has conducted 1 more than one hundred hearings on reform bills of various kinds be- fore congressional committees in the last 33 years.
 The house committee on education has favorably reported the federal film censorship bill The necessity of regulation of motion pictures is apparent, according to the report | ( least most of the best and largest producers, favor regulation. This has been acknowledged by a large ma. | jority of the film manufacturers by their voluntary submission of their films to unofficial boards for ap proval. That the public demands this regulation is demonstrated by the scrupulous regularity with which the producers exhibit such approval at the end of each picture.
 "The vicious picture being the later return to exhibitor and produc CT, because it gets the money of the regular customer and the sensation seeker also. This state of affairs con stitutes a temptation hard to resist and, in fact, the production of vicious pictures is constantly increasing just because they are more profitable. Ii the industry is to endure, if decent people are to stay in the business this cancer must be cut out. A fed eral regulatory commission should prove fearless surgeon, and we therefore, favor such a commission
 This statement of conditions is made in the brief filed with the com mittee by the legal representative ot four of the ten manufacturers who produce 90 per cent of the motion pictures in the United States, and by the legal representatives of one o the largest distributors of motion pic lures in this country.
 This bill has the earnest support o the leading moral and religious or ganizations of the nation. A similar bill was unanimously reported to the house in the last congress.
 With the acknowledgement of tho l need of regulation both by the mo tion picture interests and the pub lie they serve, the question arises aE

ONE ROOM AT A TINE.

Now that the old year is pretty nearly
done for let plan a new way of keeping
house and of cleaning house for the cnsu-
ing vear. Let's do away with the anti
uuated method Of having spring and fall
housecleaning and let's adopt the other
method Of keeping al our rooms as clean
as possible all the time and then of taking
one room IT a time for special attention
renovation, and alienation rs needed.
Suppose you have SIX rooms in your
house or apartment, end suppose that you
devote yourself TO one room during
January, another during February, one
during March and another during April
Then during spring and summer, the great
outdoor months, forget your house as
much as possible, and begin again in
October with another room and IN NOyem-
Der. before the last rush OF Chrlstmes, take
another room.
Ii is always easier 10 get the paper
hangers and painters to do any Tenovat-
ing inside that you need in m'dwinter than
in spring when most persons think about
housekeeping, and as matter Of fact ii is
always better to have one room done at a
time than to have much papering done at
the same time, unless of course You can
temporarily yacate your house for the
time of the papering
The up-to-date housewife does not
hesitate TO attempt such task as paper
ing her own rooms when the cost OF pro-
fession"l paperhangers is rather more than
she can afford ID is easier to apply wall
covering with brush than 10 apply paper
and there ere many sorts Of wall paint or
wash that are attractive and effective when
applied There never was time when
painting was used so generally t0 refur-
nish rooms and furniture and the effici ent
housewife with good taste can make dingy
old furniture take Oh charm and youth

WHY !?
Why Does Steam Appear when Water
Il Heated
Copyright. 1920. by
Wheeler syn dlcate. Inc.


While we arc accustomed TO think OF
water as a liquid, il is, in reality.
combination Of gases which may he
separated by the application of heat. In
addition. water Is constantly evapor0t
ing whether the temperature be hot or
cold. and this evaporation is nothing
more than the changing of a portion OF
the water into the form Of a gas which
is. Of course, invisible.
But when heat is applied this change
occurs very rapidly and the surround
ing air becomes saturated with the gas
and is unable 10 hold it all. Moreover,
the gas from the heated water Is so
much hotter than the surrounding air
that il is cooled and turned into drops
of liquid water once more. II is this
cloud Of minute water-drops in the air
which we recognize as steam, and.
provided that the surrounding atmos-
phere does not become O.erheated from
the steam. the latter viii slowly mix
with air and disappear in the form of a
gas. though the portion which has
been rapidly cooled viii settle on the
ground or floor, just as dew settles on
the grass in summer.
