COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE
MOTION PICTURE CENSOR
District Heads Inform Senator
Ball They Believe proper
Regulation Sufficient.

the Commissioners are opposed to
the appointment of a censor for mo-
tion pictures in the District, they in
formed Senator Ball, chairman of the
District committee. yesterday after
noon.
The city heads told the senator
they believe the consensus in Wash
ington is for proper regulation of
the movies. but opposed to censor
ship. In conclusion, they stated that
they see no necessity for the passage
of the bill now pending in Congress
for the appointment of a censor.
In their letter to the senator the
city fathers call attention to the fact
that ''resentatives both of the the
ater proprietors and the advocates of
more rigid regulation recently agreed
to the adoption of a new set of po-
lice regulations. which are now in
effect.
These rules, the letter states, pro-
hibit the following:
Pictures in which sex relations are
shown or depicted in a manner tend
ing to the corruption of morals.
Pictures which are based upon
white slavery or procurement of
women.
Pictures which depict nude persons.
except children, or persons so nearly
so as to shock ordinary sensibilities.
Pictures which show undue demon
strations of passionate love or scenes
Of vice.
Pictures which use titles and sub
titles containing salacious sugges-
tions, or use in connection Herewith
advertising matter, photographs or
Autographs Of this character.
Since the adoption of these regula-
tions, the letter continues, there have
been no complaints Of improper pic
lures being shown.

Yea cannot wisely overlook your col
lar lt1s when you determine the tilt Of
the Trimming on your hat
Eminently the hats we have been
wearing for the past decade have been
suited to the collarless neck.
One thing that made women at first
hesitate about the collarless frock or
coat for street wear was because Of
that long line that used to extend from
the hat to the top downward when one
were 4 collarless frock. When the hat
dropped downward, eclipsing ears. we
almost forgot that the collarless frock
had ever given US concern.
The collarless frock has not ceased
to charm the American woman. Still
there is something unquestionably good
in style about the high daring collars
that seem to be as much in line with
the clothes designed by Paris dress
makers as by the Americans. who are
pushing the directoire tendency all by
themselves.
The Eusenie Hat.
One thing is certain: The fat.
broad-brim, dropping hat that has
come to US recently as part of the
second empire style tendency. hat
eminently suggestive of Empress
Eugene wnen Sne was 1aSnloH uic-
tator of that Napoleonic empire-be-
quilting as that hat may be. it was
never intended to go with 1aring
high collar. But then the second en-
pire clothes are colIarless and the style
is one that has been pushed only for
afternoon and evening.
Enough for practical purposes it is
to remember that the high close-fit-
ting collar, whether 1t fares or not, is
not well worn with a fat dropping hat.
1t needs something definitive in the
way of hat trimming. In the directoire
period this was quite apt to take the
hat that turned off the head at one
side. 1t was a period of cooked hats
cooked at the side. cooked at the back
and cooked in the front Imagine one

Without a Dining Room.

1t Is a present-day departure in small
houses and small apartments to build
without dining room. The plan was
first tried in apartments where it was
found that limited space could be used
to better advantage If it were made into
one good-sized living room and a kitch.
enette than if it were cut up into three
small rooms-kitchen., dining room and
living room.
So recently suburban dwellers who
nave peen limited to three rooms on the
first floor Of their house have often de.
cided In favor Of a living room, a study
and kitchen. or have turned the entire
space outside the kitchen into one really
Thsre iSSn; are ADVANTAGE. to b. sA.n.d
thereby. But there ARE also disadvan-
tages-that Is. there are snares for the
unwafy. 1t seems like q device for the
maidless, but sometimes 1t is an ar.
rangement that works out better where
there u maid than where there In
none. FoHit is not always easy to keen
the traces Of meals and meal-Eettine h,
the kitchen save Just when the meal q
wanted. Sometimes in the maidlesa
household It is . distinct advantage to
have room devoted to meals that may
be shut of save at meal times
The difficulty can be minimized, how.
ever, II you have sufficient shelf room
in the kitchen. Moreover. II you like.
you may have chest Of drawers or
living room, where meals are served
that will serve as a repository for table
linen. silver. etc. without suggesting its
function as a buffet.
A substantial tea wagon also is an ad-
vantage. 1t may be brought in to act
as a serving table while the meal is in
progress, and then wheeled out to the
Kitchen afterward-

All the long cold winter through!
Think Of all the fun they miss!
That for me would never do.
mo. SIR" continued Peter Rabbit,
talking to himself. mo. sir. 1 never
could stand that. Winter is a hard
time. and goodness knows it some
times is hard work to get enough to
eat, but I wouldn't miss it for any
thing. 1 don't understand how any
body can sleep like that. I've visited
Johnny Chuck and Jimmy Skunk and
know just how they spend the winter.
Now 1 would like to see some of those
other sleepers.. 1t is no use to look for
Striped Chipmunk or Nimbleheels the
Jumping Mouse. ! don't know where
their homes are and 1 wouldn't be any
better OF IL ] did, for 1 couldn't get
inside; they are too small. l know
he is as sound asleep as Johnny
Chuck I would. like to see Bobby
Coon He might be awake. Anyway,
H won't do any harm to run over to
his house and find OUT

more careful
Just then Hooty's terrible voice rang
out again. Yes. SIR" continued Peter
to himself. that is just where he 10.

Hguess the Green Forest isn't a healthy
