FROM THE PEOPLE
COMMENDS PICTURE MAKERS

The following letter was received
recently by Pendleton friends of Her
bert ii. HeNes, a nactor in the Fox
company at Los Angeles:
Los Angeles, Calf,
Feb. 30 ,1922.
ii seems to me Il great crime that
because a few people who are very
much in the limelight should have
got themselves into Il mess that the
entire profession should be judged by
them.
The newspapers lie maliciously, ex-
agSerate. distort and cruelty anyone
who happens to be CONNECTED with the
screen because these people are so
much in the public eye" and to the
outsider who does not know the truth
about Hollywood ana only knows it
from what the newspapers say about
It, you'd think that it was den of
vice. | have been in Hollywood for
over four years and in the motion pic
ture profession and | have never seen
anything out of ordinary in the life Of
Its people. That there are good and
bad people in connection with the
making of pictures is so. The same
is to be said of any other business or
profession. Any other viewpoint is
pure narrow mindedness.
AS for HOLLYWOOD its principal ho-
tel, the Hollywood, is about as sedate
as YOU could imagine. Many rich old
ladies' live there and spend their time
on the varandas with their Knitting.
There is no such thing as dance hall
or cafe within its borders 1t is IA uuiet
beautiful suburb of Los Angeles con-
tanning beautiful homes. / do not
mean to say that there is no immoral
atty among its people, but I do say
most emphatcally that there is no
more there than anywhere else. | have
gone into this detail SO that YOU may
know the facts concerning the moving
picture profession. If newspapers
would come out and tell the public
that the Fifth Church of Christ, Sci
enlist, which is in the heart of Holly
wood YOU could not get II seat 30 min
utes before church time and that hun
dreds are turned away at almost every
service and the same about the Cath
olic church in Hollywood. and that
these people are largely members of
the moving picture business, the out
sidcrs would possibly realize that after
all we are Just II normal people like
anyone else. Mckinley was shot and
killed but don't think we condemned
all presidents on that account.

The married man who Is pestered
by his mother-in-law should have
been Navajo indian and married a
girl of that tribe. For, according to
II recent letter to n local newspaper
from the Indian agency at the Navajo
reservation at Shipwcll, n. NJ, tribal
customs provide that t}lc mother-in-
law, after her daughters marriage,
must never soc her son~tn-laW. No
provision is made for the daughters
in-law and it is presumed they are al
lowed moro friendly relations with
their "inlaws" Instead of becoming
her husbands property at marriage,
the Navajo bride becomes free, and
may leave her husband for sufficient
cause.

PRINCES CO ON
THE WATER WAGON
BY CLARENCE DrBoSE.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondents
TOKYO (Ry Mail to the United
Press) The Acting Emperor of Ja-
pan Is on the water wagon.
Some of the other princes of the
blood, and members of the Imperial
court are following the abstemious ex-
ample Lf Crown Prince Regent IIiro-
hito.
Some of the Tokyo papers are pre-
dieting that this new fashion is the
forerunner of prohibition at the i'm
perial court.
The "Chuo," one of the dailies here
recently made this statement:
THE prince regent has not touched
alcoholic drink since his recent Euro
pean tour. q. He merely lifts his glass
to his lips at toasts. Prince Kan-n,
following his example, has not touch
ed alcohol since last spring"
The paper draws the conclusion that
the formal adoption Of prohibition at
the court would seem to be only a
matter of time"
However, the sake hounds don't
seem to be worried, and some of the
breweries are building extensions.

MEXICAN GOVERNOR
MAY ESTABLISH ZONE
TO TEST DRY LAWS
(Rv Associated Pressn

CALEXICO, Calf, Feb. 1.-Jose In
ocente Lugo, who will take office
today as governor of the northern dis
trict of Lower California. character
lied as premature a published state
ment that he would establish immed-
lately a 40 mile zone along the border
in which prohibition would prevail.
Such plan, Senor Lugo said, is
under consideration but the prohibi-
tion feature is a secondary considera-
tiOn. 1t is proposed, he explained to
establish a 40 mile zone in which new
customs duties will be levied with a
view to lessening the burden upon
producers, importers and exporters
thereby building up commerce ani
bettering conditions throughout the
district. In time, he said, prohibition
may be tried out in this zone for the
purpose of conformity with conditions
in the United States, as we'll as the
policy of the Mexican federal govern
ment which is opposed to the liquor
traffic in principle.
Senor Lugo announced there
would be a thorough housecleaning
when he took office and that import
ant offices in the district would soon
be in the hands of men who had no
connection with former territorial ad-
ministrations.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Seventy-five
policemen were assigned today to spe-

ment, enforcing house heating and
sanitary rules laid down by Health
Commissioner Copeland in an effort TO
check the further spread of the influ-

nounced that he would take immediate
legal steps against house owners who
failed to provide sufficient heat.
Particularly drastic action would be
taken against landlords who provide
insufficient heat in houses where eth
er influenza or pneumonia patients
were confined, DR.. Copeland said.
Transportation company officials to-
day put into effect the health com
missioner's rules concerning car ven
tilation. All subway cars we're oper-
ated with windows open, and addition
al heat was supplied to avoid the dan
ger of colds. DR.. Copeland also is

fatal than it did in the 1888 and

Beginning what was expected to be
a two-day statement on the situation,
Mr.. McAdoo told the committee the
government took over the railroads
in 1917 because they were breaking
down under private management,
unable to meet the stress of war de-
mandS, and that federal control and
unified operation saved the situation.
Not only was the transportation me-
chine kept running, he insisted, but
its condition was improved, its equiI-
ment extended, and it was returned to
private owners in such shape that it
was able to handle a greater volume
of traffic in 1920 than ever before.
