JUSTICE FOR THE MANY

Will II. Hays, it is said. is urg-
ing that an investigation be made
OF charges against the movie pro-
fcssion before they become pub
lie. but it would seem that he will
succeed in protecting the rcputa-
ton of actors and actresses bet
ter by demanding that accusa-
lions be made specific. To cir
culate falsehood about an in
dividual is malicious. but the per-
son offended has recourse to the
courts. However, to circulate an
untruth about profession is a
thousand times worse, as the
thousands injured have little
means OF defense.
There are, i'll the ranks of the
moving picture stars. some per-
sons endowed by nature or ACCT

makes them fit subjects for the
camera, but without other quail
ties to inspire public confidence.
There are many others who have
attained fame and fortune by
hard work and persistence. They
must be careful OF their health.

other professions. for every line

the board had purely 10 do with pro-
tocting American crops from pests
There was no idea of trade protec-
tion. Imports were prohibited. he
said, only whore absolutely necessary
10 safeguard American crops from the
danger OF bringing in injurious insects
and diseases. The purpose of the hear

information as possible on the subject
so that the department can act wisely
in deciding thu question OF a Quaran-
tine.
Adequate protection for American
crops against fruit flies was strongly
urged by growers and representatives
OF producers organizations in various
parts Of the country. particularly Cali
fornia and Florida. Among these were
Senator Shortridge. of California, who
with Representatives Curry. Lea. Free

TO PRESS SUITS
VS.. HARNESS CO.


The harness company was organ
lied largely by former army officers
in an effort 10 get rid of the surplus
harness accumulated during the war.
The contract between il and the War
Department was declared void by the
PRECEDENT and the War Department
undertook TO take possession of the
property in the hands of the company
several months ago. but was prevent
ed by an injunction iscaed by the
State court.
The Department of Justice then
took the matter into the Federal
court. where it still is pending.
Col. Anderson said he could not go
into details of the case to be brought
against the harness company as that
would lie prejudicial TO government
interests. He declared, however, that
the case now was in ''first-class con-
dition for handling.

THE LEAcrr's INFLUENCE

For his services as commits
sioner OF the League OF Nations,
DIR. Fricdtiof Nansen, Arctic ex-
pIorer, has been awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize. Doctor Nam
sen comes by this distinguished
honor rightly. His work in evac-
uating thousands OF war prison
crs in Siberia and subsequently
his service rendered to the starv-
ing hordes III Asia Minor and
Russia are outstanding achieve
ments in any one mans lie.
1t is not to dctract any credit
from Doctor Nansen's accomp-
lishments to insist, however. that
without the League the results
he attained were impossible. ii
was the knowledge that he was
the representative OF great
world agency that persuaded gov
ernments TO cooperate with him.
Had he been the agent of any one
nation, it is plausible to assume
that other II tons might have
grown suspicious. He spoke for
all members If the League and
his credentials were never qucs-
toned.
For that Diminishing group OF
fault-hnders with the League, the
services Of Doctor Nansen ought
to be helpful.

so much sympathy that he gained yes

Johnstone of General Sessions, before

interested when Robert told of drift
ing from one orphan institution to an
other as a result of the death of his
mother when he was . years old and the
fact that his father was a seaman. He
was released from the last institution
about six months ago and went to live
with an aunt in Philadelphia. He OBJ
tanned job that paid him So week,
but words passed between him and his
aunt and the boy decided to come to
New York.
The United Irish Counties Association
was one OF the strongest supporters of
the candidacy of Mr.. Banton for District
Attorney. Mr.. Banton went before that
body June q to thank them for their
help, and in his remarks he brought UP

one here" he asked. who is willing to
gamble on the chance that Kay is
worth saving?"

young Kay was arraigned and an
nounced that he was ready to provide
a home and a job for the boy. Mr..
