Popular Gouverneur Morris
Story Screened at Colum-
bia = Elaborate Photoplay
Programs at Other Houses.

Mr.. Alan Dale, the noted New
York critic and authority. has writ
ten the following review of The
Wild Goose" screen version of the
Gouverneur Morris story. now APP
gearing in The washington Times.
and which is the current weeks at
traction at Loew's Columbia Theater:
BY ALAN DALE.
Nobody can possibly assert that
divorce Is theme that has been
over-treated. With the columns of
the daily newspapers tesming with
stories Of marital infelicities, mis-
matings and infidelities. the topic
would seem to be inexhaustibly in
teresting. And IL rs interesting be-
cause new twists perpetualiy occur.
II is interesting because our human
sympathies are always alert for this
particular matter. II Is interesting
because, as the, termination of love
and marriage. II is so pathetic.
In the picture at Loew's Colum bia,
the wild goose is held up as an
example of fidelity--it never deserts
its mate; it cannot live without its
mate. ! fear that Washington Ia
not as nlled with wild geese as IL
might be. or IL II be. that the geese
have become acclimatized and have
lost their particular propensities.
The Wild Goose" is the title of
this picture. and oddly enough, the
goose Is of the masculine persuasion.
1t is the husband who feels the
wrench Of his wife's desertion; IL is
the husband who nearly dies OF
loneliness, and who has no other In
terests In life; 1t is the husband
whose devotion is starred. The wife
herself Is not a sympathetic charac-
ter. And yet. In this hit picture.
there is another vile, whose un-
selfshness and answering fidelity
are delightfully."- shown, and who
looms up as a capital character. But
the conduct OF the heroine" who
deserts her husband for one OF those
shiny y-haired, dapper and typical be-
trayers Is not condoned. and though
she does live happily ever after
wards, IT Is not announced that she
was overweeningly worthy.
And the end of this picture Is ex-
celient. Instead of the twain in
the inevitable last-reel embrace, the
reunion of husband and wife is
merely shown without comment. ana
the routine of their everyday nfe IL
resumed agreeably. This is ex-
tremely artistic, and II other films
would take the hint and step aside
from the banal. many otherwise
good pictures would be saved from
perdition.
The tangie In The wild Goose"
AN lbsen-y title, by the bye-is very
elaborate. For the deserted husband
Is loved by a woman msIr.cd to an
other, and true to that other. And
when this other husband learns of
the condition OF things. he takes the
shiny haired one on an automobile
trip and plunges with him down n
embankment, losing his own life in
the effort to straighten out the COM
plication.
So this particular divorce muddle
ended happily. There was child
in the case. Perhaps many divorce

nuddles could be obviated were there
the child TO reckon with. Unfor-
tunateIy, there generally isn't. Ladies
addicted to excessive divorce are
rarely mothers. That is the grave
problem. The. Wild Goose"--Which
aims at a lesson--taites the ground
that parents contemplating divorce
are obliged to think of the effect OF
their action upon the lives OF their
children. Which is true. All the

Is Uncle Sam Now Penalizing Marriage?

Following the issuance of these
questionnalres, Miss Hill states,
large number of married women have
been dropped from the rolls Of the de-
partments, without regard to their
efficiency. In many cases. she says,
married women Of long experience and
established value have been dropped
for no other dIscoverable reason than
that they are married. At the same
time, she says. the civil service Is hold
ing examinations for employees Of
similar grade and kind.
The object Of the various depart
ments in dropping married women
from their rolls is plain. They are
compelled to drop those who will suf-
fer least hardship as a result. Obvious.
ly, the married woman who has an
employed husband Is less apt to suffer
from the loss Of her Job than the sin
gle woman entirely dependent upon
her own resources.
The women recognize this motive
and its practical justification. They
realize that the bureau chiefs are not
trying to strike blow at marriage.
But they claim that In effect It is
blow at marriage, and also at the
right Of a woman to work and be In
dependent. It Is this latter phase Of the
question which chiefly interests the
women politicians.

Of these letters have been men from

Senator Kenyon Is convinced that

powered to cut out single appropria-

to obtain ratification by the necessary

Miss Elsie Hill Of the National Wo-
mans party states that several Of the
government departments which are
now reducing their payrolls have is-
sued questionnaires to their women
employees in order to find out which
are married and which are single. A
questionable sent out by the air serv-
Ice is evidently designed to gain furth-
er information about the circum.
stances Of the married women. It asks
each of these to tell whether she is
living with her husband; II not, wheth-

whether the husband Is dependent up
on her for support, and whether any
members Of her immediate family are
employed by the government, and II

Uncle Sam and Railroads Negotiating
AvEGOTIATIONS

APPROPRIATIONS looking to the
~ funding Of the railroad indebted
ness Of approximately $SOO,0OO00O to
the government and the settlement Of
the claims of the railroads against the
government are under full way be-
tween government officials and the
railway executives. These negotiations
have resulted In progress toward def
mite conclusions.
Railway officials estimate that the
net amount due the railroads from the
government Is somewhere between
$57b, 100000 and $8O0,000,000. They
admit that It Is difficult to make q
definite estimate Of the total amount
due because Of the items In dispute.
Roughly. however, they place the
amount yet due for the period Of gov.
eminent control at $685., 900. 900 and for
the guaranty period Of six months af.
ter federal control at $229, 900, 900.
Director General Davis estimates
that the claims Of the railroads
against the railroad administration
will aggregate $1,250,000,OOO. Forty
seven railroads have already settled
with the government and they were
allowed approximately % per cent Of
the amounts claimed BY them. The
total claims Of these roads aggregated
$124.040. .867, Of which $35, 4S8,914 was
allowed.

restrictions against depositors under

facilities for this class Of business BY

Mr.. Hays has no design to put the
postal savings system in competition
with private savings banks. He recog-
nizes that that would be an unfair a.
well az a disastrous policy. As a mat
