SKUNK BEATS ELEPHANT
IN CHILD MOVIE TEST
Picture of Boy Stealing Green
Apples Brings Sleep.

CHICAGO, March 25.-That one skunk
Is better than q drove OF elephants was
the deduction made to-day by teachers
and motion picture officials who tested
5000 school children to ascertain their
taste in the movies.
The test was made to see if the
modern boy is interested only in appa-
ratus in which the wheels go around"
or il he Is still pastoral enough to enjoy
gamboling lambs or bubbling brooks.
The picturization of a boy stealing
green apples and wading in shallow
creeks put the children to sleep. The
skunk won first place as animal favorite
~ the screen. Elephants did not fire
the childrens enthusiasm, but bison
running across the prairie were popular.
