biies faces condition that It's architects never
dreamed of, and therefore never took the smallest
pains to meet.
Fairmont finds her central business blocks al.
ways eramped for space, and frequently entirely
impossible, andsits only a matter OF very short
time that IL will5be necessary, to route traffic
through the city and COMPEL all Of the public to
comply.
Fairmont IS but one Of hundreds of cities in the
same kind Of difficulty. Charleston is now trying
10 work out some plan that will suffice. The
Charleston chief OF police has submitted to the
city council complete traffic plan which he thinks
will materially help II enforced. In this plan sug-
sestion ate made for one way streets, for parking
limitation, for traffic lamps and for rules govern
ing the approach OF blind corners and cutting cor
ners to the left.
The charieston police chief, in order to impress
tho public and the city council with the hopeless
tsess OF the sttuation as handled at present went
out and gathered in 500 sioaters Of the present
tratfic lawi avery short time. In order to show
how little cooperation there is on the part OF the
public, thepohce chief pointed out that numbers Of
those brought to time raised great protest, and
complained to everybody from patrolmen to the
voters in hesne2t campaign.
In the plans submitted to the Charleston coun-
Gil seven Of charlestons busiest streets are named
as one thoroughtares, three others are to con-
tinue TO handle traffic both ways. :x,S
Fairmonts will have to come largely to the one
way proposition in time and also very shortly, to
barring parking on Adam street. Fairmont needs
an intelligent plan for the handling Of traffic. The
IDEA should he, given consideration.

Mr.. HAYS AND THE MOVIES.

The action taken by Mr. VIII Hays supposed lord high arber
b movedomhis official title know not lin putting the
Aruckc films under the bn least for the present makes it
seem probable that Mr. Hays what he said in
his address the annual meeting OF the Motion Picture Directors
last March In the light of this the first he has
made prominently into public vew is interesting
recall the views which he outlined that occasion.
THE motion picture industry said Mr. Hays accepts the
challenge in the demand Of the American public for the highest
quality OF and interest in its entertainment.
"The industry accepts the challenge in the demand Of the
American youth that its pictures shall give them the right kind Of
entertainment and instruction. Itf9
1--WE accept the challenge in the righteous demand Of the
American mother that the entertainment and OF the
youth be worthy OF their value the potent factor the
counry's future.
"y opportunities responsibilities measured From
him whom given much required The potentaies of the
motion picture of amusement which is necessary
and moral influence and educational faco limie
IF this so and undenabe, just opportunity
great in like is the responsibility That responsible
iy accepted Our association dedicated to the aid of the in
dustry in the discharge Of their obligations"
If motion picture producers and exhibitors everywhere catch
the spirit which Mr. Hays voiced in these words and maneng
his actions there is doubt that the films will free
the things that provoke public condemnation industry
will be put footing which will only contribute per-
prosperity but will also enable it up its
possibilities of the most effective agencies of entertain
and popular education.

II should think the term would be applied
tive young girls, but to the old who trying look
young"
"a appe is young thing with short skirts bobbed hair

"a fapper girl making herself attractive and
