PRESBYTERIAN CONFERENCE
PRESENTS OUTLINE FOR CEN
soRsHIP OF PICTURES.
RECOMMEND BOYCOTT
CLAIM is MADE THAT MOTION
PICTURE SCENARIOS RIDI-
GUILE PASTORS.
(western Newspaper Union News s,vics.)

Des Moines, Iowa-Waving a letter
from William (Bill) Hart, two-gun mo-
ton picture star, in the faces of 800
Presbyterian commissioners of the
134th general assembly here the Rev.
Dr. Gustav Briegleb of Pasadena,
charged that film interests are ridicul-
ing Protestant pastors in their pictures
in retaliation for the censorship cam
paign being conducted against them
by Protestant denominations.
Harris letter was in reply to one
from the California pastor, protesting
against a picture in which a pastor is
portrayed as robbing a stage coach in
order to complete the construction of
studios" who is himself the author OF
the scenario in question, replied to the
criticism that he admires ga man
brave enough to go ahead with his
good work, although it involves rob-
bling a stage coach"
Later in the picture the pastor is
caught by posse and Hart saves him
from hanging only by cutting the rope
with directed shot from his trus-
ty pistol.
"Show me a film which ridicules or
insults a Catholic priest or a Jewish
rabbi in this manner" shouted DR..
Briegleb. .Their insults are aimed at
u.s." Twice BriegIeb's speaking time
of
assembly.
The attack on motion pictures made
by the committee on temperance and
moral welfare in it's report, gave only
a hint of the storm which burst when
DIR. Briegleb of the subcommittee on
movies, took the platform.
Dr. Briegleb presented an outline to
be followed in the censorship Of mo-
ton pictures, as follows:
Elimination Of women in abbrevi-
ated costumes.
No scenes of drinking or smoking
by men or women, and dancing
scenes.
Abolition of all triangle" plays and
scenes dealing with inharmonious
home life.
A ban on crime or underworld film
scenarios
Elimination of all death bed "agony"
scenes.
A boycott by the general assembly
to be maintained by all constituents
Of the Presbyterian church against all
theaters presenting pictures that are
suggestive and unclean," was recon-
mended by the board of temperance
and moral welfare. Certain interests
in the motion picture industries, it is
charged, in screen presentations make
light of marriage, woman's virtue, the
Lords day, the eighteenth amendment
and chastity, this, spreading moral
blight across America and striking at
the vitals of the nation in suggesting
to the youth of the land ruinous
habits"
Urgent need of larger number of
candidates for the ministry was as
serted by the standing committee on
theological seminaries. Vacancies now
exist for 400 Presbyterian ministers,
which is being filled by drafts from
other denominations, to the extent of
100 during the past year.

"Pipe-smokers are not so il,n,

IL is still little premature to talk
OF the day when everyone will pos
sess his individual wireless telephone,
particularly one of the portable vari-
ely, which may be carried about and
used at will; but l am not going to
suggest that it will never be possible
Tor a large number of circuits to be
used within the same area.
This does not mean that there is not
already valuable field OF practicable
usefulness for the wireless telephone.
The field is greater than is generally
realized today, and regret to say
that its application to Industrial needs
is taking place more rapidly in other
countries than in this one. In Hol-
land, for instance, the Amsterdam
stock exchange circulates by wireless
telephone at frequent intervals daily
the latest financial information, and
this is received simultaneously in
nearly 200 banks in Holland by means
or apparatus constructed by the Mar
conf company. ] am informed that
the arrangement has given great salts
faction and considerable impetus to
business.
What Holland can do can be done
equally we'll in this and other coun-
tries, and the information radiated
need not be confined to financial mat
ters. All that is needed is a fair op-
pOrtunity for demonstrating the DOS
sibilities and for conducting a similar
service.
few weeks ago representatives of
the Times newspaper talked by wire
less telephony between Southwold in
Suffolk and ZandvoOrt In Holland. On
that occasion they conversed freely
for so minutes from the respective
wireless telephone stations, and 1 hope
that we may be permitted shortly to
show that our experiments between
Southwold and ZandyOOrt have a very
practicab e application, and that by
linking up this wireless circuit with
the telephone wires at the English and
Dutch ends it may be possible for any
one in London possessing &. telephone
apparatus to ring up the exchange in
London, ask for the wireless route
TO Amsterdam, and speak to a CORE
spending subscriber in Amsterdam. In
this case the telephone message from
London to SOuthwold would be relayed
automatically by wireless across the
North sea. reconverted to land wire
message between Zandvoort and Am
sterdam, and received in Amsterdam

naval and air services. 1t would, in
fact, be possible to multiply these
routes and have quite a number of
wireless circuits to the continent
working in collaboration with the land
lines.
While the experiments at South
void are about to demonstrate the
immediate practicability of wireless
for trunk routes, whether they be
overland or overseas, a series of expert
ments in another part of this country
has demonstrated that 1t is now pos
sible 20 speak by wireless In one par

ticular direction. This discovery will
remove the objection that converse
tons can be overheard by those for
whom they are no. intended.
The only commercial use for which
wireless telephony has so far been
sanctioned in this country is that of
establishing a communication between
the Bar lightship in the Irish channel
and the offices of the Mersey docks
and harbor board in Liverpool. In.
accommodation is conducted almost
every hour of the day with this ap-
paratus by men who have had no spe-
cial training, and without any inter-
ference with the wireless service con-
Quoted at the mouth of the Mersey by
the SeafOrth station belonging to the
British post office. 1t is absurd to
think that this is the only place
where a useful service can be per-
formed by wireless telephony.
need hardly dwell on the growth
of wireless telephony in connection
with aerial communications. be-
lieve | am right in stating that every
British machine regularly flying be-
tween London and the continent has
been fitted by the Marconi company
with the wireless telephone. and we
have numerous instances where these
instruments have contributed to the
safety of the services, and performed
other valuable functions.
We have also demonstrated to one
of the railways the possibilities of
wireless telephone communications as
an auxiliary to the ordinary telephone
lines, and it may be that now govern
ment control has been removed from
railway operations, some progress will
be made along the lines indicated by
us.
| have suggested that the day has
not arrived for the so-called pocket
wireless set. The senSitiveness of
wireless receivers has been so greatly
increased in recent years that il is
possible even now to possess portable
apparatus capable of receiving SIGNALS
from high-powered stations many hun
dreds of miles distant, but this is quite
a different matter from Transmitting
signals. For wireless transmissions it
is still necessary to raise wire a
considerable height above the trans
mitter, and if serious distances have
to be covered it is also necessary to
have a source of electrical power
greater than can be at present con-
veniently carried by an individual.
How near we have approached the
ideal of portable transmitter was
demonstrated by the Marconi COM
pany few months ago when the Lon
don fire brigade conducted wireless
telephone communications between
one of their tenders on Putney Eeath
and their headquarters at Southwark,
a distance of some seven or eight
miles. In this case the aerial wire was
hung from the branches of a small
tree near the roadside, and the ap-
paratus employed was stored in q
small space at the back of the vehicle.
One thing is certain, the science of
wireless telephony will not stand still.
Like the ,rGinary telephone, it is pass
ing through period when 1t lacks Off
cial encouragement, and Is depend
ent for it's salvation entirely upon
those who are engaged in its develop
ment.

"The night of December Z, 1921"
says Raymond Francis Yates in the
New York Times Current History"

nights more than score of American
and Canadian amateur operators first
realized their ambition of getting

limits amateurs to comparatively
short wave lengths, some of their mes

5000 miles Of ocean and were accu-

ing station in Scotland
Toward the end of 1921 photo
graph of President Harding was
flashed across the Atlantic ocean from
Annapolis to Paris in 20 minutes. This
feat was achieved with an ingenious
apparatus invented by Edouard Belin.
The picture, of course, was not trans.
mitted in material form, but was trans.
lated into radiO-telegraphic impulses,
which were recorded on the distant
apparatus. The work done along this
line opens up new field. Within q
few years we shall probably be trans
hitting important news pictures over
great distances, AID then how easy il
will be even to sign checks and Inn
portant papers through the ether! II
fact, signature sent by this method
has already been recognized as legal
in France The possibility of Grim
inal detection Is also interesting in
this connection. A criminals likeness
can be sent broadcast to any part of
the country within the space of few
minutes.
1t is gratifying to know that Amer.
lea has taken the lead in the develop
ment of radio telegraphy. There was
