Hopeless Waste
Faces Crimea
Once LuXuriant

Alushta, Crimea, July 30-(A. +. by
MaiD-The Crimea. the beloved
health resort of the old days and
known as the Russian Riviera"
once filled with beautiful palaces
surrounded by flowers. vineyards and
magnificent fruit gardens, lies now
flowerless and ruined as a result of
the civil war and last years famine.
Many of the owners of these villas,
vineyards and fruit gardens belong
ed to the upper classes and lived in
central Russia, coming here for their
relaxation. Large numbers fed the
country years ago, while others, hav-
ing thrown in their lot with General
Wrangel, became scapegoats of his
acts after his defeat and paid the
death penalty during the terror
which followed the second occupa-
ton of the Crimea by the Bolsheviks.
The Crimea has not escaped the eff
fects Of the naturalization, confis-
cation and acquisitions, and while
nominally the immense vineyards
and magnificent gardens have been
declared nationalized, as a matter of
fact they are nobody's property.
Vineyards and gardens stood I'M
guarded for several years, with the
result that everything went to the
dogs. The wine-stocks dried, and a
ma jority of the best fruit trees died.
Thousands Of acres of almond, april
cot, peach and pear trees and vine-
yards are today absolutely worthless.

A shala break in September corn

No Censorship
Soon for Movies
Predicts Woman

sChicago, Aug. 23-(By A. P.)-An-
other ten years will see the passing
of the movie censor, declares Mrs. A.
l.. Adams, chairman of the Chicago
board of motion picture censorship,
who says the present day picture
director and the present d-y star
need little supervision in their arfs
ut will not be long until such sfi-
pervision ID entirely superfluous,"
Mrs, Adams asserts. Directors do
not want to offend the public, and
they have learned that the public
wants clean pictures. Censors, how
ever can make few hard and fast
rules. They have to judge each pic
ture individually.
Censorship, like the movies them
selves, is undergoing an evolution.
But it cannot be abolished for some
time yet because people sometimes
read into a. picture what Is not there.
There are some rules. Mrs. Adams
says, which she always observes. In
a fistic encounter, hitting a man
when he is down Is taboo because 1t
is unsportsmanhke. A crook cannot
shoot at an officer pursuing him, lest
that encourage lawlessness. Single
piece bathing suits are all right, but
a bathing beauty Is not permitted to
parade across many feet of screen
Virtue does not need to triumph
over all difficulties. but pictures
,, clarifying inscriptions dealings are
cut" Mrs. Adams continues. shoot

. respect it is believed that the moxie
director Is improving. =
we cannot make hard and fast
rules about very many things be-
cause a great deal depends on how
the subject is handled" adds Mrs.
| Adams, land because public morals
also undergo changes. Every day
we get objections from somebody
who has been scandalized by pic
ture. Generally, however, we find on
examination that these people have
read something into the picture that
