Whether there has been faced "a shortage of fuel, there has frequently been raised the question of putting -c some good use the thousands of d's- carded railroad ties that are surnea each year along the tracks of the raii- roads. That is said to, be the cheapest method for the railroads in disposing of them, and yet, to those acquainted with such material, it is perfectly evident that it means the. waste of a large and valuable amount of fuel that could 5s put to excellent use as firewood.
 The shortage of fuel in Boston has brought about the cooperation of tae Boston 6 Maine railroad, the city aa- thorities and a number of auto dealers whereby 1900 ties have been gotten to central point where they will be cut and spllt and distributed to the poor, That number of ties will not go far in relieving the sitQation, but it will help It is a resort to the material that is toe often wasted and its utilization sfoi some practical purpose rAthef than try. ing to heat the great outdoofs, It is g

 PLEA TO BAN MOVIE
Theaters Will Show "Wild Oats" Des. bite Fact That Director General
 Hays Protest Against Playing.

Detroit, July 3-Despite the disap- rroval of Will H. Hays, Director Gen. eral of the motion picture industry, the film Wild Oats will be shown at the theaters at Detroit under the direction of the city's health department, it was announced today. Director Hays wired Acting Mayor John c. Lodge the film was highly improper and not an educa tional one as the producers claimed. MT. Lodge said the matter was turned over to Health Commissioner Dr. Henry F. Vaughn for action.
 Dr. Vaughn states the picture has been highly censored by the poliot and his department and it has been viewed by several health department women, clergymen and other private citizens who agree it is highly educa- tional.
 It was put on public exhibition at theater today and will make the rounds of the movie houses in De- troit. Dr. Vaughn asserts the city has no financial interest in the project and is simply interested in seeing that its educational advantages are brought before the public either with or without the approval of Mir. Hays.
