HOLLYWOOD NOT REALLY WICKED, WOMEN ARET0LD

BOSTON, May 25. - Hollywood, where the movies are made, in the eyes of the minimizing, a seat of li- cece, divorce scandals, murders, and liquor escapades, is not as bad as it is painted. To the defense of the most picturesque and talked of section of California comes the most conserva- tive organization in the effete East, the American Unitarian Association, which has it's headquarters in this city. The defense of the movie stars was undertaken by Carl Wetherell, field secretary of the association for the Pacific Coast. Speaking before a meeting of the Women's Alliance, MT. Wetherell said that the motion picture colony at Hollywood is not the place which it is made out to be by the lurid word pictures drawn by the sensa- tional writers in the yellow press. On the other hand it is a quiet, peaceful, and much maligned community, com posed, on the whole, of hard work ing men and women, who take pride in their occupation, and are laboring to better it's standards.

 LEAGUE MEETS
 AT MILWAUKEE

MILWAUKEE, May 25.-The chief address at today's session of the west ern district conference of the Anti Saloon League was delivered by Bishop Thomas Nicholson, President of the league.
