d. w. Griffith at an early date will
film the grand opera Faust on an
elaborate scale. Lillian Gish will be

next to the three RS" music has
more practical value than any other
subject taught in the schools. Mrs.
Cora C. Lucas Of Soutn Carolina has
been leader in the Federation of Mu.
sic Clubs of that state to urge music
as a factor, and Mrs. w. A. Howard
of Cookeville had an interesting ar
ticle in the Progressive Teacher two
years ago, pleading for music to be
recognized in the schools and credits
be counted, for when no credits are
given in music, it is usually dropped
for something else of less value that
will count.
The Music Club Of Cookeville can
assist in this laudable work.

Veteran Journalist Writes q
Scorching Letter to Author
Of Blue Law.

With ali the courtIy chivalry of q
fifteenth-century knight. Capt J.
Walter Mitchell. journalist, author
and soldier, today came to the rescue
OF all ''ye ladies faire" who puff the
dainty cigarette
In \ characteristic letter to Con-
gressman Paul b. Johnson. author of
legislation making IL a misdemeanor
for women to smoke in public, Captain
Mitchell cannot see why women
should be fined and male smokers al
lowed to puff unrestrained on vile-
smelling pipes and cigars.
SOME SMOKE CORNCOBS-
The women of the South. Captain
Mitchell points out, obtain much en-
3oyment from their corncob pipes-
Many women "dip'' snuff. too. he said
~Is II right, Wherefore. to discrimi-
nate against the Northern women who
smoke cigarettes and cigarsT the
journalist querfes-
Captain Aitchelrs letter Of protest
follows:
81 have read with amusement the
text OF your bill proposing a hne OF
325 for women who smoke cigarettes
and. I think. cigars, too, In public
places. / read this as plea for
consistency. Why not include wom-
en- who smoke the pipe and those
who dip. snuff7 In my extensive
travels in the South, I have found
that but few women in that section
smoke cigartttes or cigars. but thst
smoking the pipe is quite general.
and has been for many years. As to
this practice In the South, 1 have
no criticism to offer. as l realize that
the use Of tobacco in the forms men'-
toned Is pleasurable to them.
"Then, why rob them of this joy
while there are so many real evils
that need corrcction7
"The picture of aged ladies In the
Sunny Southland rocking contented-
ly on their verandas and indulgins
in pleasant dreams through the
smoke rings from their pipes, and 1
have seen thousands OF such pictures,
have been present to my vision
Equally present has been the enjoy
ment of the younger women OF the
South In using snuh. and as 1 Am
not at all fanatical i have no crith
cism to offer. i believe such inno-
cent enjoyment should not be the
subject for such radical legislation
as your bill proposes against the
women OF the North. East and West
who indulge in smoking cigarettes or
cigars Surely the cigarette and
cigar habit Is not as objectionable to
fastidious mortais as dipping snun
or hitting the dudeen.
WOULD INCLUDE MEN.
sRemember, also, that the South.
from which you were elected to Con-
gress, Is the great tobacco-growing
section of the Union and would suffer
financially should your bill become q
law. Also remember that by the re-
cent Constitution enactment women
have been placed on a political parity
with men. Be consistent and include
men in tho prohibition, too. Fine
them &25 for smoking in public The
ancient saying. "A sauce for the goose
10 sauce for the gander,' holds good in
this connection. We have reached the
extreme limit of fsnatical Legislation
which seeks to prohibit everything
that gives a measure of Joy to hard
pressed and over-taIed humanity"
