What Happened in One Town

We hear so much Just now about
censorship that 1 know you'll be in
teres ted, as l was, in knowing what
happened in a town. out West a while
ago. wish it happened in more OF
The people who concerned themselves
with the towns welfare were seriously
considering seeing if the local motion
picture theater couldn't be closed. They
felt that motion pictures were a very
bad influence, judging by those which
they saw there.
But some one suggested that, instead
of closing the theater, they see If the
class of pictures that were shown
couldn't be improved. SO they talked
to the owner of the theate-. He OBJ
jected to getting better pictures be
cause the rental of them would be
higher than that on the pictures he'd
been showing, and he said that the
townspeople wouldn't pay a higher adj
mission price, no matter how much
better pictures he gave them.
You try boosting your price" ad-
vised the chairman of the committee
You'll find that you can do It and
make more money than you're making
now"
So he did. He raised the price of
tickets from 10 cents to a quarter. and
booked better pictures-I don't mean
by that pictures With moral
and goody goody atmosphere but
pictures with real story, that would
hold the interest Of the audience.
There are plenty of them, you know,
and if theater owner really wants to
show them he can arrange to do so,
easily enough.

FOR
PART TIME IN
y OF STATES
instruction Provided for Child
rem Who Have Been En-
plOyed.

I WASHINGTON, Jly ia progress
i've step in recent movements in
compulsory education has been the pass
age by many States of cotinuation school
laws, which afford a child who has left
school for employment opportunity for
further educatio by providing part-time
compulsory schooling for a specified
number Of hours each week. Some Of
these laws apply also to unemployed chill
dren, or to children who are no longer
subject to day school attendance re-
quirements.
A brief analysis Of the continuation and
evening school laws of each State, as well
as those prescribing day school attend
ance, is shown in a chart recently is
sued Y the United States Department of
Labor through the children's bureau, en-
titled state Compulsory School Attend
ance Standards Affecting the Employ
ment of Minors. Jan. l, 1921
This chart shows that twenty-five
States now have compulsory provisions
for continuation school attendance. In
three Of these States however, the es-
adjustment of such schools is not COM
pulsory, and in one the school authori-
ties are merely empowered, not COM
PEELED, to establish part-time schools and
to require attendance. The age limit to
which the compulsory attendance pro-
visions apply varies, ten State requir-
ing attendance up to IS years Of age, one
State up to II and eleven States up to 10.
The amount of attendance is from four
to eight hours weekly; the laws Of each
State specify or imply that this period
shall be counted as part of the childs
legal working hours.
In eight States the law permits no ex-
emptions; in the other States the ex-
emptions vary, three excusing a child
who has completed the eighth grade.
Only twelve States now provide for
evening school attendance. the progress
which has been made in day and con-
tinuation school laws having obviated
this need TO a great extent, at least for
children under 10. In most of these
States the law covers only minors over 10
who cannot speak read or write Eng
lish with specified proficiency, in one
State applying to aliens only. As In
the continuation school laws, the at
tendance requirement varies, some States
having only a general requirement OF
regular attendance"-othe specifying
an attendance of from four to eight
hours weekly.

Two Killed When
Auto Truck Crashes
Into Elevated Pillar
Victims Trapped in Flames
as Gasoline Tank Explodes
After Machine Is Upset;
Driver Burned TO Death

Two auto truck accidents early yes
terday resulted in the deaths of two
men. Another was so badly injured
he is not expected to recover.
James Duffy, chauffeur, of Pat
chogue, l.. l., and his helper, Vanderbilt
Raymond, of the same place, were the
we're leaving the Manhattan Bridge on
tho New York side when the huge
seven-ton truck they were driving,
loaded to capacity, became unmanage-
able and crashed into an elevated
pillar, Duffy was jammed against the
steering wheel and his assistant was
thrown into the engine pit by the i'm
pact, and when the gasolines tank ex-
ploded both men were trapped in the
flames.
John j. Gahan, laborer in the city
employ, who had seen the truck careen
down the incline, rescued Duffy, but
was unable to eXtrcate the helpers
body. Gahan was badly burned on the
arms. Duffy remained conscious, and
while he was lying on the sidewalk with
both legs fractured, his hand broken
and burned from head to foot, his first
thought was for his companion The
firemen were unable to reach the vic
tim, however.
Duffy was taken to Gouverneur Hos
pital where he died several hours later.
Father John Vogeros, of the Church of
the TRANSPORTATION, administered the
last rites Of the church before the
dying man was placed in the ambu-
lance
The truck, which was loaded with
dressed ducks, fish and clans, was
bound from Patchogue to the Willis
Avenue railroad yards. in the Bronx,
tor consignment to poultry dealers.
Witnesses to the accident told the po-
lice the brakes on the truck failed to
hold going down the incline, probably
because Of the heavy load AS the
careening truck reached the corner the
driver twisted the wheel sharply try
ing to make the turn. The huge ma
chine sdeswiped ar ice wagon and re-
bounded to the "L" pillar.
The other death occurred on the road
about five miles south of Hackensack.
Y. j. A motor truck driven by James
Mack turned turtle and caught fire.
Mack was burned to death and Ernest
Starke, who was riding with him, was
so badly burned he probably will die.
The men were bringing a load of
peaches to New York from New Mil
ford, N. j. Mack lost his way and
struck bad road which caused the
truck to overturn.

Never will the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
forget that great storm. Never will
the little folk of the Old Orchard for

Nature had done her best to show
how great is her strength. Some of
the little feathered folk were nearly
drowned by the great rain. Some
were SO beaten by the wind that they
were bruised and sore all over.
Peter Rabbit, over. in the dear Old
Brian Patcn, had sought shelter in an
old house of Grandfather Chuck's in
the very middle of the Old Brar
Patch. and there he and little Mrs
Peter had minded the storm not at all
until Peter discovered that his feet
were wet Then they found that
water was running down the long hall
into that old house underground. 1t
was raining so hard that the earth
couldn't soak Il UP fast enough, and
SO water was standing on the surface
and some of this was running down
around their feet. 1t made them ner-
vous and uncomfortable. Never had
such thing happened before.

Peter
Little Mrs. Peter nestled close to
him. "I'm so glad you are here,
Peter" she whispered. "If you were
off somewhere l would be worried to
death"
Just as soon as the storm was over
Peter was cut, eager TO see or hear
what had happened during the storm.
The first thing he discovered was that
much of Farmer Browns corn had
been beaten down fiat
"My, my. my!" exclaimed Peter.
My, my. my, that is too bad."
Then. the way being clear. he ran
over TO the Smiling Pool. Peters
eyes opened very wide when he came
IN sight Of the Smiling Pool. 1t was
doing its best to smile but it was too
muddy TO make that smile a success.
And the Smiling Pool had grown,
My, how it had grown 1t was filled
to the very top of its banks. No big.
green liiy-pads for Grandfather Frog
to sit on were to be seen. They were
under water. The Laughing Brook
was roaring instead of laughing;
rearing as it did in early spring when
the snow melted.
No one to talk to was to be seen,
so Peter turned and headed for the (
Dld Orchard. He could hear excited
voices over there and he just had
