Joseph Levenson. the New York City

Mr.. Levenson said yesterday, in his
printing shop at 243 Canal Street. that
he believed the commission would not
enact strict code to govern it's CEN
soring activities, but that it would
judge each picture by its merits and
not by preconceived and rigid
standard.
"The only limitation we shall recog-
nize is the law itself, which states that
we shall permit to be shown no picture
which is 'obscene. indecent, immoral,
jnhuman, sacrilegious or has ten
dency to incite to crime or to corrupt
morals" said Mr. Levenson.

Mix-Up Over $40
Rivets Friendship
Of Two Buddies
Happily Ended Difficulty
Starts Because Rules ON
Army Pants Do Not Go
for s'Civilian" Trousers

Frank Hallat, of San Francisco, and
Fred Hansen, Of Lakeside, Ariz,
bronzed youths who served throughout
the World War in the Aviation Corps
and were discharged together last
week, had their first falling out yes
terday since enlisting together three
years ago. Hallat accused Hansen OF
taking $40 from his Civilian trousers"
Hallst told Magistrate Max Levine
in Jefferson Market Court that when
men were "buddies" everything one
had belonged to the other, and if
money while they remained in uniform
and subject to service rules he would
have made no objection at all. He ex-
planned, however, that once a man got
back to "civies" and exchanged serv-
ice breeches for regular-length trou-
sers, these garments became sacred to
himself and if "buddie" wanted any
thing out of 'em he was supposed to
ask for it.
Hansen, who appeared more hurt
than indignant at the attitude Of his
longtime companion, explained that
he had taken no money from Hallat's
tIOQSS1S SO 10I as uC huCW,
they had been so long used to having
8 common fund that cash might have
got mixed.
"There's one thing I want to make
plain" said Hansen to the court. $50
far as know I haven't cent of Hal
lat's money, but don't want to lose
his friendship, and I'll agree here to
make up the $40 if he wants to shake
hands and clear me Of intention to rob
him"
Hallst, almost in tears, replied that
he didn't care so much about the
money, but was hurt to think Hansen
would take it. He admitted there
might have been a mistake and said
he was sorry anything had been said
about it.
"You buddies had better shake hands
and settle the rest Of this out of
court" said Magistrate Levine. you're
not the sort Of men we want to see
here"
you're on, Judge" grinned Hallat,
and the two shook hands warmly.
Last night they started West for
Denver together, according to their
original plan,

Grandfather Frog Makes Mistake
By Thornton w. Burgess

in astonishment. "why, Grandfather
Frog"-- he began.
But Grandfather Frog wasn't lis
tening. He didn't even know that
Peter was speaking. His own great,
deep. gruff voice wholly drowned
Peters. "Chug-arum! I would like
you to know that such things are not
funny at all. No one with grain
of respect for others or an atom of
though tfulness would do such
thing. But I might have expected
as much from such a needless fellow
as you. Your head is SO full of
emptiness that there isn't room for
consideration of anybody else"
Peter stamped the ground with his
stout hind feet suddenly and hard. 1t
was the only way he could get Grand
father Frogs attention, and Peter
was beginning to grow angry himself.
Grandfather Frog stopped to glare at
Peter.
"a nice return this is for saving
your life!" stormcd Peter. $50 my
head is full of emptiness. Well. the
next time ! see you in danger you
can look out for yourself. If I had
a pair of big, goggy eyes like yours
and couldn't see any better than you
do ] would think it was about time
to quit"
what? h-wh--what is thst?"
demanded Grandfather Frog. "Who
saved my life? What arc you talk
ing about, Peter Rabbit?'
"lf / hadn't frightened you into
diving just when you did you
wouldn't be here now" rctorted
Peter.
"Where would I be-" demanded
Grandfather Frog.
Over on the shore Of the Big
River in the stomach of Longlegs
the Heron" replied Peter, a twinkle
coming into his eyes.
Grandfather Frog stared at Peter
very hard. IL don't believe it," said
he gruf1y.

to the Big River. No one but Peter
was to be seen. Instantly Grand
father Frog knew what had fright

thumped on the bank right behind
him as he sat on the big, green lily
pad close to shore leading the Frog
chorus. And right then and there
Grandfather Frog made a mistake.
Yes, sir; he did SO. He suspected
Peter of having stolen up and fright
ened him just for q joke.
Now, Grandfather Frog is old and
wise, but old as he is and wise as
he is he hasn't yet learned to always
keep his temper. In fact, he is rather
testy and l am afraid his temper is
rather short. He glared up at Peter.
Then he swan to the nearest lily
pad big enough to hold him, scram
bled out on it and faced Peter.
Grandfather Frogs big, gosrly
eyes snapped angrily and he puffed
out MS white and yellow waistcoat
with indignation. In fact, he was SO
