that the future naval battles OF

HAYS APPROVES
PLAN To CLEAN
MOVIE WORLD
Pittsburgh Preacher Says Die
tator of Films Eager to
Purge Industry.

PITTSBURGH, April 27.-The Rev.
Charles Scanlon, secretary of the
committee on temperance and moral
welfare Of the Presbyterian Church,
has returned to Pittsburgh from a
conference with VIII Hays, director.
general OF the moving.picture indus
| try. During the conference DR..
Scanlon read to Hays a "houseclean.
ing program" which met the direc.
tors approval.
The following are the main points
Of the program:
Hollywood must be actually and
thoroughly cleaned. not whitewash'
/ ed.
Movie people must be governed by
the same standards OF common de.
cency and morality as others.
Eliminate the nude. licentious and
criminal.
There must be a higher type of
actors.
Unclean actors cannot produce
clean pictures.
Put morals above gate receipts.
Do not advertise persons; adver'
tise pictures only.
No propaganda.
Cease insidious attacks on the
home. church, teachers, ministers,
1 marriage and the Sabbath.
Make the movies a public utility,
| not a menace.
The inevitable alternative must
be censorship.
Not IS Per Cent Bad.
One point submitted by DR., Scan
lon was objected to by the director
The point declared that Hollywood
is rs per cent bad" Hays said the
percentage is much too high.
DIR. Scanlon emphatically denied
that the Presbyterian board had
made any demands upon Hays.
He said he had conferred with the
director general upon Hays own in
vitation. Incredible pressure is be-
ing brought to bear on Hays TO have
buckle case. according TO DR..
Scanlon.
Hays Has Platform.
During the conference Hays pre-
scented DIR. Scanlon with a written
platform Of his stand regarding the
moving pictures.
A few of the points follow
What do not know about this
industry would fill an encyclopedia
But / am going to work pretty hard
learning.
Certainly I do not want 10 get
into the attitude OF being a dictator
OF the industry and the morals of
the people who are in II. I think,
taken at large, that the morals OF
those in the industry are just as good
as those in any other"

important part in swaying the tury's
verdict in a recent lawsuit In whion
the well-known dancer claimed I00,-
900 francs damages for a crushed
foot sustained in a taIicsb accident.
Blanche Otero claims that she has
the prettiest angles in France and
that these are an asset, as she was

The lawyer of the taxicab com.
pany said Mile. Otero was much too
old to dance professionally. A con-
troversy ragged, for the dancer was
not in court. The jury decided that
Blanche Otero should come into
court. She did and, after showing
her face, revealed her pretty ankles.
Five minutes later a verdict in her

THE DANGEROUS GUN AGAIN

The careless handling Of firearms
was again demonstrated last Saturday
when Ed. Powers used 4l-caIiber
revolver at saIamander. Although
the shot was fired 300 yards away. the
bullet, glancing. went through the win
dow Of w. E. Herring's home and pass
ed directly between the two children,
Beatrice Herring and TheIma Spear.
The oldest of the two was lying on the
bed reading to the other, and had a
little kitten between them. It is just
possible that, had the kitten not been
there. one Of the children would have
been hit by the bullet. and likely as
not fatally injured. The bullet lodged
in mattress on another bed across the
room.

vorably with them. They intend to

BONUS FIDDLING
AT WASHINGTON

Republican members Of the senate
finance committee to-day divided into
two definite groups over the soldiers
bonus bill.
AS a result, two different bonus
bills will be thrown into the committee S
lap next week and tussle will begin
between the two groups to force adop-
tion of their pet ideas.
MsCumber's new plan would give
the veterans hitherto unheard-of con-
cessions and privileges with respect to
borrowing.
Both the Smoot and McCumber bills
will eliminate the land reclamation pro-
visions of the house bill.
At to-day's conference no attempt
was made to map out method of
financing the bonus. Committee mem-
bers said the first task is to get an
agreement among themselves on the
general plan of the bill and then dis
cuss the problem of financing. The
way things stand now. agreement is
likely to be considerably delayed, COM
mittee members admitted.
The two bills will be:
]. By McCumber, chairman of the
committee. providing for the adjust
ed certificate plan of the house bill,
with notifications greatly broadening
the benefits to service men,
2. By Smoot. Utah. providing 20
year insurance policy without any bor-
rowing provision as a substitute for
the house plan.

CAUSE OF SUFFERING


Red Cross officials completed estab-
lishment of camps for refugees at Har-
risonburg and Rhmehart and are pre-
pairing for organized relief work thru
out the northern parts of Calahoula
and Concordia parishes. where they
have been assigned for duty. These
campe are aquipped however to provide
shelter for only few hundred persons
and as victims of the flood are begin
ming to come in large numbers those
in charge say they are facing a serious
situation.
I'VE need more tents and food" said
Captain w. w. Cooper, commanding
Company G Of the Louisiana National
Guard. on duty at Harrisonburg to-
night.
THE food supply is insufficient for
the several hundred destitute women
md children here and we ex9cct dcu-
bic the number tomorrow with a con-
stantly increasing number as motor
boats seek out the flood refugees thru
out Concordia and Catahoula."
1T is we'll for the people of Louisi-
ana. to awake to the situation and be-
gin sending in supplies to Harrisonburg
and Rhineheart. for we are going to
need food and clothing as we'll as
tents.
The Louisiana and Arkansas rail-
road, which runs thru Catahoula and
Concordia and which can reach as for
east as Rineheart has Offered to carry
supplies free. Flood waters prevent
operation of the railroad farther east
than Rhineheart but the supplies may
be taken by boat to Harrisonburg,
Jonesville, and other points.
Captain Cooper said the National
Guardsman are doing guard duty and
every effort is being made to keep re-
fuges comfortable. Supplies are pur-
chased at Harrisonburg, but the little
town is inadequate to meet great de-
mands and additional provisions will
have to be sent by boat.
The Missouri Pacific railroad will
be unable to operate trains in the flood
ed sections of Catahoula, and Concor-
dia parishes prior to June |.
Virtually every man. woman and
child who would leave home has been
brought out of Catahoula and Concor-
dia parishes" said Mr.. Taylor. Some
refused to go and were left behind,
but the rescue work has been for the
most port thorough and systematic and
large numbers of refugees have been
.aken ont of flooded areas by the
Missouri Pacific /?
Mr.. Taylor said wafer is slowly rising
thruout Catahoula, Condria and Tensas
parishes and that by 7o'clock Sunday
morning the country between Clayton
and Sicily Island would be flooded.
The futhermost point in Catahoula
parish that the flood would reach is
Sicily Island, he said.
