!" Seuen Swans," " Picture
 to Be ShOwn Ton1or- row at Matinee
By JosEpHINE NIXON HENLEY

a 4C7RS. PAUL EARLE, chairman IMWI for the Birmingham Better JlNJt Films association announces
 that the picture to be shown tomorrow morning will be "The Seven Swans" and that while the commit tee will try to please all children, 1t Is their purpose to appeal to older boys and girls.
 "Al1 over the country" says Mrs. Earle, parents are becoming in- spired with the desirability of suit able pictures for children, and con sequently the formation of the Bet ter Films associations are becoming more general.
 One great result of the coming to Birmingham of Miss Louise Connolly, has been to inspire club women with the value of exceptional pictures for their children, and from time to time lists of these selected pictures will be published.
 "An losa which Miss Connolly es- pecially stressed Is that there are no pictures made for children under 10 years of age. She says that such young children cannot follow the complexities of motion pictures that their attention should be engaged in simple plays at home.
 The Birmfn gham Better Films as- sociation agrees with her in this and its idea is to give to girls and boys pictures suited to them"
 It is suggested that parents at tend these matinee pictures with their children and later discuss them in families 10 bring out the desirable points for a better understanding.
 Of selected pictures Miss Connolly n9fd4 sIf v1ga fA An come an art and less of a business, which is problematic In the extreme, then the emphasis must be placed on those pictures which have not been produced simply te appease the ap-s petite of the masses.

Artificial Limbs.
An Afflicted Woman Who Sees No
Excuse In Them for Begging.

To THE NEW York HERALD wish to
congratulate YOU on the article in re-
gard to the legless man who was beg
ging on the street.
I myself met with an accident two
years ago and had my limbs taken Off,
one below the hip and one below the
knee. After nine months care in the
hospital ! have been able to master
artificial limbs and can do almost any
thing that an ordinary person can do
with the exception Of running, swimming
and being on the quick alert.
Artificial limbs were really one of the
last things that any one thought could
master on account of being six feet IN
height and Weighing 240 pounds. II
shocks me to think that any man with
such stability would sit down on a pub
lie highway and appeal to the sympathy
Of the people when he is well able to
master the situation. according to the
article in your paper.
I find that there are many of these
people who are more willing to earn
their money through pauperism than
through activity. This Is the second
ease you have reported this year. and
/ sincerely trust that you will continue
doing SO until these people make ur
their minds that they can help them
selves and make their living in a proper
and legitimate way.
1t seems to me that self-pride would
be above doing what this man has beer
doing. ! am only too happy to feel, that
can spend my time at desk trying
to plan how to raise money and keep
the Home for Aged people alive. Thank
God that He has inspired me to get up
and use the next best thing there is left
for one meeting with disaster, and that
is artificial limbs.

Mail and the High Stoop.
Must Basement Deliveries Cease
Under the New 0rderi

To THE NEW YORK HERALD; note
the announcement that postmasters
throughout the country have been in
structed from Washington to stop the
delivery of mail at dwellings where,
after four months notice. no door slot
or receptacle for the mail has been pro-
vided. / have been surprised to see no
comment in the newspapers about what
seems to me an arbitrary ana unauthor-
lied action on the part of the postal
authorities.
To take a concrete case: live In a
high stoop dwelling and the postman
delivers the mail by raising the sash
OF the basement window and throwing
the letters inside; there Is no delay
whatever in this. II I am compelled
TO install letter box I would naturally
put 1t on my front door so the postman
would have to ascend the steps and de-
scend them, and thus spend more time
than he does now. j. X.
