Los Angeles, March 1S.-Exploita-

on the screen will be met with organ
lied opposition from the motion pic

taken today by the Photoplaywrights'
League of America, national associa-

The organization adopted al resolu-

featured on the screen at this time.
The resolution called upon other
branches of the industry to take a
similar stand on the Hamon case.
Right now, when everybody is
talking about cleaning up the pictures,
is poor time to permit the exploita-
ton of such a case" said Wycliffe A.

Rumors of Special Session.
Rumors of a special session are cur

opportunity comes, Governor Allen
will make another effort to force a
livestock-a agricultural consolidation. 1t
is probable, tho. that an entirely new
bill will be drawn before such a step
is taken. 1t is also likely that the
governor will await congressional de-
cision as to a reapportionment meas
ure. If a redistricting of the state be-
comes necessary, a special session will
be required and will afford the oppor-
tunity desired to again seek adoption
of the rejected administration bills.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUSE
With Tea,

Apparently the number of American
tea drinkers who choose to take milk
or cream in their tea is increasing, for
while once it was not unusual for
hostesses at afternoon teas to pass
only lemon and sugar with tea now it
is quite the custom to include a small
pitcher of rich milk or cream.
The question whether or not to serve
cream with tea is one that som etimes
puzzles the hostess. The fact is that
and while it would seem like poor hos
pitality to pass anything short of
cream with coffee, save after luncheon
or dinner when it was served in demi
tasse clear, it is not usually necessary
to have cream for afternoon, tea. What
most housewives call top milk is the
sort of dilutant for tea that comes up
to the requirements of most tea drink
ers.
However, there are those who find
real cream the best selection. George
Eliot was one of the blue stockings
who was convinced on this point.
Reader" she says in one of her books
"have you ever drunk a cup of tea
with real country cream ~
. There seems to be national or racial
peculiarities in this matter of choos-
ing the adjuvants. for the cup of tea.
milk, while in Russia it is taken often
very sweet, and sometimes with lemon,
never with milk. Sometimes rum or
other spirits make of it a beverage
that would be anything but palatable
to most American tastes.
In England, however, the custom is
to take it with milk, and it is because
of late years we have taken lessons
from the English in tea drinking that
we have come to favor this beverage
which undoubtedly gives to tea more
food value even tho some persons find
it distressing only when served in this
way.

When a man has to batch, do his

a government teamster. He filed a
petition in the district court Thursday
afternoon asking a divorce from Sarah
C. Kiehl, whom he married forty-three
years ago.
He declares that she has refused to
live with him since he entered the

that their property, consisting of three
and one-half lots on Madison street,
be sold and the money equally divided

the principal performers at the Lyric
this week in the headline act, Pauline
Leopards." Their trainer, woman, locks
herself in a cage with them and puts
the big cats through a series of stunts
which show the results Of infinite patience
In training. In one particular instance
one Of the leopards appears to be ap-
parently Hfeless, allowing himself to be
thrown about the cage like a big fur.
Then he picks himself up and calmly
walks away. Pauline closes the act by
appearing before the curtain with a
three mOnths-old baby Of the leopard
family in her arms.
Another feature Of the performance is
the appearance Of Mile. Henrietta De Ser
ries and her company Of models. The
