used the same good judgment that
made him famous as a player. has

ness that threatened to send him per-

head the Boston National League
baseball club as president. Nothing
better could have happened to base
ball unless it were the entrance into
the game of countless more Mathew
sons. AS pitcher and player he
was everything that player should
be, and his splendid reputation does
not rest entirely upon his skill in the
game. The spirit Of craftsmanship
he gave to it was even more worthy
of praise. And now he is coming
back. That is enough. Giant or
Yankee or Pirate or Cub rooters can
not promise to cheer for the Boston
team always just because Matty is

"MACHINE PICTURES"

Some time ago Winchell smith
playwright, spoke In this city of hi.
knowledge of the making OF moving
pictures. He went into interesting
detail, telling of the infinite pains
that are taken to prepare picture
for the public. And in that address
he spoke OF the feeling possessed by
such men as David w. Griffith
against machine made pictures, "
pictures, in other words, which subor-
dinated the artistic, the higher aspect,
to expediency. Personally Mr.. Smith
prophesied that the time would come
when this condition would change
with the result that the public would
see far better pictures in which the
great possibilities of the screen were
more nearly realized.
1t is interesting to note that some
of the best-known of the movie stars
have organized with the ostensible
pNi POSS VI iiipl oNihS tHc pictures
along the lines suggested by Mr..
Smith. Such movement could not
come from the little-known of the
motion picture actors and actresses
Those who have taken this matter
dependent financially and artistically.
What they say will go" and the
people will go to see films they make
under any circumstances. The test |
will come when these better pictures !
are shown. If, as many Producers
believe, the public demands pictures
of which censors do not approve,
such films will continue to be in
demand with resulting loss of popu-
larity to the now popular actors and
ideals. 1t would not be expected, If
this proved to be the result of the
formed combination, that its men,
bers would long stick to their
ideals" They want to continue to
be successful. If the people do not
patronize their better pictures" they,
being very human indeed, will re-
urn to the other sort. But it would
seem that experienced motion picture
actors and actresses, with the ordi-
nary amount of brains, would know
heir public by this time and would
lot appear in pictures that would be
lbove the heads of the public-and
heir own heads, incidentally. There
s happy medium and there is more
'hance of striking it successfully if
UGH a movement is honestly made
" well-known and popular actors
nd actresses than If the matter is
eft entirely to the producers.
1t is to be hoped that there is sin

BRITISH GENERAL
FINISHES journey
Genreal Pereisra Takes Trip TO
Interior Of China

Calcutta. Feb. 23.-Brigadier Cen
eral George Pereira. OF the British
army, saw active service In both the
South African and European wars,
and In spite OF these experiences and
his IS years. the love OF adventure in
this soldier was so strong that he
started alone two years ago on 1000
mile journey of the utmost difficulty.
So far as the records go. no man had
ever before made the trip the general
selected for his adventure. He COW
cred half the distance on foot. and is
now in a Calcutta hospital recovering
from the effects of some of his hard
ships.
After the armistice, General Pere-
ira was sent to Peking as military at
tache to the British embassy. In
January of 1921 he was ready to go
back to England but his sporting An
stinct had been aroused by tales of the
of travel through certain
sections of China and he received
permission to make his way overland
to Calcutta
The first lap of his journey was
luxurious, a first class coach from
Picking to Tientsin. Thence Chin
ese cart carried him to Shansi. When ,
he had crossed the Wangho he pro-
ceeded, partly by train, to Loryang
where he was the guest of General
WI Pei-fu, who was busily engaged
at the time in leading widespread |
political and revolutionary movement |

Nsml~r Aroit fmr.ss Of eircaIAilen
ICE. on WALKS,

Practically every resident OF this
city is anxious 10 keep down the
clty's expenses. Those expenses, OF
course. are made mp OF numerous
items. small and large, One OF the
items Is the money that the city pays
10 settle claims against II for dam
ages sustained from fails on walks
alleged to be slippery, This is one
item which cooperation by all the
property holders in the city could
reduce, thereby reducing the annual
expenses of the city which means re-
ducing the taxes.
Members of the common council
are alarmed at the numerous Claims
for damages being made. and that
body seeks some way to reduce the
number OF such claims. The corpo-
ration counsel proposed to the char
ter revision committee change that
would relieve the city from liability
for damages sustained by falls on the
walks unless there was structural
defect in the walk. The committee
refused to recommend such amend
ment, its members believing, prob
ably, that the people of the city who
were injured by falls on slippery
walks would feel that the city should
be responsible for such damages.
The law is that the city is liable in
damages if the city has been negli-
gent and negligence seems to be pre-
sumed if there is ice on the walk.
Waterbury and Meriden have relieved |
themselves of liability. A bill has
been introduced in the legislature
aimed to prevent cities from taking
such action-the bill being aimed at
Meriden and Waterbury, it is be-
leved.
Law or no law there will always
be falls or. walks in the winter time.
The common law, or court law
does not make the property holder
on his premises. With the law as it
is there is but one way to save the
city the expense of paying for in
juries sustained on slippery walks and
that is for property owners to keep
their walks clean of ice and snow.
This, especially this winter, has been
an almost impossible job, but in
creased care on the part of the peo-
pie and the city itself in regard to
its own property, is the only way that
practical, substantial saving in city |
expenses may be made. The police |
man on the beat will probably notify
the owner of the bad condition of his I
walk. But there should be no neces-
sity for the owners waiting until he
is thus notified. He knows the con- /
dition of his walk. AS soon as the I
property owners realize that by keep !
ing their walks clean, or at least I
sanded to prevent slipping, they will S
reduce taxes, there will be fewer a
slippery walks in the city and fewer =
claims against the city for damages I
which claims, if justified, the prop II
erty owners through the city, have a
to pay indirectly. J.
People blame everyone but them Is
Selves The Sidewalk inspector" or c
the police are criticized for not see S
ing to it that the walks are kept D
clean. The inspector and the police
might be ever SO diligent and yet II
there would be slippery walks if the
property owner did not do his part. G.
And it is safe to say that the man d.
who shouts loudest against the heavy
axes is the man who does not shovel u
,ff his walk.
