BY JAMES W. DEAN

NEW YORK-All Christie come
dies are censored by the mother OF
the Christie boys before the films
are publicly released. 1 am told.
Not so long ago the bathing girl
and slap-stick stuff IA eliminated
from the Christie comedies. Mother
censorship may be the answer to
that.
Most of the public censors of vari-
Gus states are political a~ppointees.
Their interest in their positions is as
much in their salaries as in their
duties. That is one of the reasons
for the failure of censorship.
II there must be censorship let it
be by the mothers and wives of men
who produce the pictures. If pro-
ducers announced to the world that
their mothers and wives were re-
sponsible for the morals of their
films they would see to it that those
morals would fit in with the genera!
conception of right and wrong
The same standard of ceusorshiP
might just as we'll be applied to
writers and playwrights.
The Christie boys made a shoe
string start of it five years ago.
They didn't have money TO buy all
the props they need. II was not an
unusual sight to see a wagon drive
up to the Christie home and cart
away the dining room furniture or
the easy chair to be used in making
n film.
Now the Christies have a spacious
home and a backyard full of alliga-
tor pear trees. pedigreed bull dogs
and fancy pheasants. 1t is in that
the family board of censor
ship meets. And frequently the
wife of the pastor of Mrs. Christie's
church helps her censor the films.

Athens, December 15.-(Special.)- A woman by the name of Anna Flippo Is being detained at the county jail here pending an investigation in connection with the Kirby Cole killing which was committed early in November while he. together with June Inmon, a taxi operator, were carrying two unknown parties from Athens out the Fayetteville pike when the two passengers, according to In- mon, assa ssinated Cole and threw him into the woods and threatened the life of Inmon, who was forced to pro- ceed with the two until they reached Ardmore, about IS miles from this place. There Inmon induced them to permit him to stop in order that he might purchase gasoline for his car and it was at this point that he outwitted the murderers and escaped from their hands. and they also made their escape Diligent search has been made for the murderers by the of ficers here, but so far without avail, unless the woman now being held in the Athens jail discioses something that will lead to the arrest of the two men wanted.

DEFLATION POLICY ENDORSEMENT ID
 MEET OPPOSITION
Minority Report Threatened If Majority of Members of Commission Carry Out
 Intention
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Burssg. ssS IT The , Herald;

800 Davidson Building,
 Washington, December 15.-(Spe- cial.)--If the majority of the mem bers of the joint commission on agri- cultural inquiry in a supplementary report soon to Be filed carry out their present intention of indorsins the deflation policy of the federal re- serve board. Senators Harrison of Mississippi and Robinson of Arkansas will file a minority report.
 Notice to that effect has been served on the majority members. In consequence, 1t Is anticipated that the present writing of the report will be modified.
 It is certain. however. that the re- port will not charge that the federal reserve boards policy materially con- tributed to the woe of the agricul- tural class of the country. As con- cession to Harrison and Robinson certain mild or indirect criticism might be indulged.
 The situation which has arisen among the members of the comrlls- sion indicates that the majority &C., cepted the views of W. P. c. Hard ing, governor of the federal reserve board, rather than John Skelton Will lians former comptroller of the cur rency. The verdict of tNr r,- 'ority would have constituted body blew to certain southern senators who have contended that the plight of the farm CT was directly traceable to the pol icy ot 1ne board.

Open up that big front room that has been shut up so long the spiders have built their nests in the corners Lay few splinters in the grate and inflammable paper, and bring in 6 scuttle of coal or two and build a real fire. Roll back the carpet and play frog in the mill pond" or other childish games whose pleasure can never fade from the memory as long as life shall last.
 I remember as a child visiting once in the country an old farm house around which there were innumer- able deep ditches which separated the fields. I was never nearer heaven than when, with two little girls, we were hidden deep in the fastness of a ditch-turn, and the three boys of the party were hare and hounds" on our trails. They passed so close to us at times we did not breathe; we heard them discussing the question where in the world we had gone to-" Our hearts almost burst with joy that we had eluded them; until our childish giggles gave us away, and we were hauled out from under a bunch of plum trees that had sprung up on one side of the ditch.
 But there was one memory that spoiled the whole thing, however. Everything we did displeased some of our parents and relatives.
 Punishment Promised
 Three of us before the night was over were in mortal terror of being sent to bed, or thrashed outright. on account of our noise" and the whole set of grown-ups demanded:
 "Sit down and be quiet!"
 That above expression. I think to this day tantalizes me to the point of evaporation more than any other when I hear 1t pronounced to a child.

I do not mean that ch.l- dren should be allowed to be noisy. and boisterous and annoying at all periods, but there is time for work and there is time for play. If you can show children that you are per- hitting them playluxury, and that they have earned 1t by their work, and that you are willing even to sac rifice nerves a bit that their joy may at times be unbounded, even though they do not play exactly as you sug- gest, you have won the very valu- able confidence and appreciation of those little folks. For more often than mot, they understand exactly what you mean and are small edi- tions of grown-ups.

 But maybe you say: q am always doing something for my children. sacrifice for them all the time. I have them so spoiled now that I can't do anything with them"

You can just as easily train him to love and appreciate you, who wish to see him well dressed, well educated. well hammered and well loved. He will be what you stand for.
