EXPLOITING SENSATIONS

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 We thought that the stand taken by the reputable producers and exhibitors of moving pictures in the case of Clara Hamon would be understood as apply ing not just to this one person but s4 all notorious characters. The better class of producers and theatres do not offer "a way out" for the woman whom the newspapers have made mo- torious.
 It seems to us that it might just as we'll be asked of newspapers as of pictures. What justification could there be for exploiting the matrimonial troubles of multi-mil- lionaire and his wife save the sordid desire to capitalize a scand- al and cater to the prurient minded and lovers of sensationalism? With out the newspaper publicity given Clara Hamon and this other woman, there could have been no thought of pictures based upon the cases. So that | it seems not entirely becoming to a newspaper to spread over its front page something which 1t cditorially de- clares can only ''cater to the prurient minded" and at the same time con demn wholly another medium of ex- pression because it may seek to do that which the paper has done.
 | Nor are we able to see wherein the production of such picture, or the refusal to produce it. can in any way determine the possibilities of moving | pictures as an art. Such picture would no more prove this form of ex- pression inartistic than does the work of various hack writers prove litera- ture not an art. Or you may quite as logically argue that commercial poster painting. being inartistic. does thus prove that there is no art in paint ing.
 We know that our theatres, and we believe the thing is true of others here, will not show pictures setting forth the matrimonial troubles of the couple referred to in your editorial. | Birmingham Enterprise Co.

MRS. SUSIE E. CUNNINGHAM.

To the Editor of The Age -Herald:
 After life complete with unselfish- ness, devotion and beauty she was called up higher. In the midst of changing fortunes her lofty spirit sus- tained her when the weak would have fallen.
 To know her was a privilege and blessing, as communion with her cul> tured heart and mind led one to heights where only Gods chosen tread.
 It was my great fortune to be so closely associated with her, to so com mingle joy and sorrow. to be one in love and sympathy, that now since the veil conceals her. I stagger from my irreparable loss.
 How the yearning world needs her loving spirit Just as a child is led by the tender hand and heart of mother so she led her associates to peace and vision.
 Just two months ago I was a guest in her home after years of separation, Though she had lost her eyesight, still the indomitable spirit of service pos sessed and illumined her way and one could never realize her bodily afflic- tion.
 Now she has gone. God was good to lead me once again to her to become strengthened and uplifted.
 What a priceless heritage she left her children One time cannot dim but enrich. So her ennobling influence will be felt by all who knew her.
 She Is not dead but liveth.

YOUR HEALTH

greatest single element in quantity
production IS the health Of the work
er. Without health and vigor on the
part of employees. the employer is
sure to fail.
Good health is not entirely de-
pendent in what the employer does
for the employe. What the employe
does for himself is quite as import
ant.
Ib your home life exactly what it
should be? Do you sleep and live
in we'll ventilated rooms? Do you
spend hours enough in bed? Do you
eat good food? Do you battle regu-
larly and indulge il the right sort
of recreation?
You can have no more valuable
material possession than your body.
You should treat it as considerably
and as carefully as you would any
other precious gift.
The wealth of the employer and
the prosperity Of the worker are SO
intimately woven together that they
cannot be separated. They owe ev-
erything to each other, and IL is only
by recognizing this community Of in
terest that progress can be made.
On the other hand, the employer
Is entitled TO the full physical vigor
Of a well-set-up body-a condition
dependent on clean and sensible liv-
Ing.
Let the bodies Of a nation deteri-
crate, and it's end Is near at hand.
Morality. spirituality and immortality
depend on clean living. If we defile
the temple Of the body we begin
career that leads to destruction. If
we treat the body as a sacred thing,
everything that is good and noble
will be added to our inheritance.
When the capitalist guarantees
protection of life and limb, and when
the laborer guards his own body out
side his hours of employment. as he
| rightfully demands it shall be pro-
! tected during working hours. then
the physical millennium will have ar
rived.
