Washington, ID. c., Jan. I6.
As an aftermath OF the Newberry
case and the effort to prevent vast ex-
penditure of money in Senatorial cam
paigns three distinct measures to re-
strict outlay were introduced to-day in
the Senate.
Senator Pomerene (Ohio) introduced a
resolution to amend the rules so as to
incorporate the provisions of the cor
rupt practices act passed by the Senate
some time ago and which was declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
The Ohio Senator pointed out that in
it's decision the Supreme Court merely
passed on the constitutionaliy of the act
and not the principle involved. lie
said the corrupt practices act, which
limits the amount which can be ex-
pended by a Senatorial candidate to
$40, 900, represents the sentiment of the
Senate and should be made part of the
rules Of that body. While discussing
the Newberry case a few days ago
Senator Borah Udaho) made similar
observation.
Senator Kenyon (Iowa) introduced a
bill to consolidate and revise the exist
ing laws relative to the amount which
can be spent in a Senatorial primary
and general election with tile view OF
establishing a uniform law to prevent
corrupt practices in the election of
members OF Congress"
Senator Willis (Ohio) also introduced
a bill on the same subject. His meas
ure would amend the Constitution so as
TO give to Congress full power to con-
troll the campaign methods and expendi-
lures of and candidate for either house
of Congress.

SENATE PASSES FIRST
BILL OF 1922 SESSION
Correct Building LoU Error
Hdlting Steel Construction.

ALBANY, Jan. 16.-The Senate tonight
passed the first bill OF the 1922 iegisla-
tive session. This was a measure intro
duced on the opening day by Senator
John Knight Of Wyoming and advanced
by unanimous consent to the order Of
final passage.
1t is intended to correct defect in
the labor law enacted last year. Under
the terms OF that act II was unlawful
to hoist any building material on the
outside OF a building more than five
stories in height. This had the effect of
putting a stop to steel construction. as
girders could not be hoisted on the In
side.
The defect was remedied by substitute
ing the word lumber for material"
thereby conforming with the law in effect
prior to 1921. by which the outside hoist
ing of lumber was prohibited but allow
ing the hoisting OF other materials.

Material shrinkage in tl,N t,tal valu- atfon of automobiles that N.i.i go Into the grand list of Norwich is forecast by the assessors because of the list price reduction on machines in the last year. Indeed the rhrinkage may be 90 large that th4e is considerable reason to De- lieve that t will amount to 50 much that it will be impossible for the grand list to show gain this year.
 In the last grand list there was q total of over sl,eo0,oee value in mo-

AS the amount on which a machine goes into the tax list Is has. ed or current list prices for the va rious makes, t can be seen that taxable valuations have been proportiohately decreased and 1t will take big additions in the grand list to make up the loss of s350,000 on automobiles

Agnes Aves-A Farm, Girl.

4 GNES AYRES is one of those girls
who know what 1t is to get up
when the roosters crow and to throw
them some corn while the hired hand
is doing the early morning milking
before breakfast. She even knows
that crops must be rotated and that
the dew must be dried out Of the hay
before 1t can be stored in the barn.
None of this knowledge formed a
part of her early training for motion
picture acting. but 1t has been useful,
and much of the close-to-nature COM
mon sense she acquired in heF girl
hood has stayed with her since she
has become so successful in her pro-
fession.
It's a great asset. this background
of simplicity. especially when there
are great masses of people describing
one as the most beautiful girl in the
world. the girl with the perfect pro-
file or the o. Henry girl. Miss Ayres
might be excused for considering her
self somewhat superior to the or
dinary run of mortals, because she is
told so SO often, but she keeps her
feet on the ground and her head out
of the clouds.
The masses of rambler roses on the
walls OF her Hollywood home and the
assorted bushes grouped about the
grounds in such a way that they make

Reform in Serials.

EOR the first time in the annals of
fllmdom a moving picture producer
has decreed that serials, chapter-photo-
plays, usually released in from thirty
to thirty-six reels, shall be of varying
lengths depending solely on the amount
of worthwhile material in the original
story. This means worldwide reform
in serial production and will protect the
long suffering screen patron from sit
ting through long hours of unnecessary
repetition, irrelevant stunts injected to
add extraneous thrills and frequent
action sequences thought up by the
enterprising scenarist to obtain the re-
quired footage.
On the other hand, serial directors will,
il there is sufficient meat" in the orig
inal script, be able to have free rein
and exceed the conventional screen
length for productions of this nature.
The chapter-plays Of the future will
in many instances be but a dozen reels
in length or. conversely, forty or fifty
thousand feet in case the story is of
such merit as to render it inadvlsable
to keep it down to footage. The reasons
for this change in policy are many:
Very few stories ever written have
been strong enough to carry for eight
cen weeks. Magazines, the sourse OF
much screen material, no longer even
attempt to find manuscripts Of this
length. Serials have at last gained
their rightful recognition as an edu-
cational medium. theirs is the dignity
heretofore enjoyed solely by features
and super reproductions. In order that

flowers and animals of all kinds. too.
And let me say that / always have
felt a real pity for the child who has
not an opportunity of seeing what a
farm Is like. Of enjoying its pleasures
and freedom. And yet there Is a lot
Of work about II.
Our farmhouse was a rambling
dwelling with a massive fireplace. On
rainy evenings / loved to lie before
1t and by the light of the cracking
logs read fairy tales and eat hickory
nuts and winesap apples"
These simple tastes have remained
with Miss Ayres. She still sits in
front OF a fireplace nights when it is
cool. and she confesses that she is
very fond of fairy tales. She also
has an irresistit.o desire to cook at
times. Stirring batter and mixing
things up in bowls seems to carry
her back to her farm days, and her
friends have learned that some of
the most delicious dishes that appear
on her table are frequently products
Of her culinary skill.
Miss Ayres began her moving pic
ture acting as an extra in the old
Essanay studio in Chicago and went
from there to New York. where she
appeared in Vitagraph pictures. She
did an entire series of o. Henry pic
lures for this company. Her first
Paramount picture was Held by the
Enemy" Later she appeared under
the direction of Cecil B. DeMilie, in
forbidden Fruit"

Her next pictures will be Border
