VIII Hays makes Ma gic"


VIII Hays, soealed "ezar of the movies" isn't any
at all, learn from interesting series of articles
the business aspects OF the motion picture industry that
has been appearing in The Star Mr. Hays doesn't speak
for the movies but only for combination of promoters
whom the government accuses of having established
trust by resorting to unfair practices
And not only is there limit TO the number of motion
picture interests for whom Mr. Hays speak, but he
IS limited in what he can His job is clearly defined
by the movie barons He is employed to make the public
think nice things about his employers is Mr. Hays and
not to bring about the great reforms in the industry he
promised So far the production end of the movies is
concerned, Mr.. Hays instructions are, Hands off"
In other words, Will Hays is paid that fabulous salary
by the movie barons to make magic BY sort of
hocus pocus he is TO induce the public to think well Of
the movie, whether the movies deserve it or not
For part, we don't believe in magic any The
thing that surprises is that an old hand at pub
lie affairs like VIII Hays would still believe in it. or that
apparently clever business men like the movie barons
would fall for it.
What we hoped Mr. Hays would do was to guide the
movies into better establish code of ordinary
business morals in the industry and lead producers 10
give us INNS oil better TASTE wider range OF interest and
greater artistic quality That was great mission for
any man:
Instead, find Mr. Hays spending his great energies
making speeches better movies that don't mean any
hing pulling political strings to head off state
sp laws, and apologizing for his employers when they
Attempt to slip over on the public release of the Ar
If Mr. Hays retain his influence with the pub
lie and If he is sincerely hoping to accomplish in
part those lofty aims he enuncated when he left the
presidents cabinet to become GEAR of the movies il Is
high time he is agnng himself the side of the few

EYEWITNESS Tells
OF GREAT D|NASOUR
Hay Springs, Neb, Suddenly
Leaps Into Newspaper Limeight

Omaha. July 2b.--By far the most
vivid picture of the actions and fea-
lures OF the antedeluvian monster
which for about three years has terri
fed a number OF tourists. fishermen,
farmers and others III the vicinity OF
big Alkali lake near the small town
of Hay Springs Neb.. has been re-
ceived by the Omaha World Herald
from j. A. johnson of Hay Springs.
In telling of his experience, the
communication declared:
Coming around a slight raise In
the ground we came upon this animal,
nearly three-fourths out Of the shall
low water near the shore. We were
less than 20 yards from him and he
saw us at the same time we came
upon him. It. lifted its head, made a
peculiar kissing noise and disap.
peared.
The animal was probably 10 feet
long including the tail and the head
when raised In alarm as when he
saw us. In general appearance the
animal was not unlike an alligator
except that the head was stubhier and
there seemed to be a projection that
was like horn between the eyes
and nostrils. The animal was built
more heavily throughout than an al
igator and was not at all sluggish in
It's actions. Its color seemed a dull
gray or brown although 1t was hardly
light enough to distinguish color well.

MEMORIAL PLANS
ARE DISCUSSED
Committee TO Select Monument
Proceeding Carefully

In anticipation of the erection of q
permanent memorial to soldiers and
sailors OF New Britain who took part
in the World War. members of the
committee appointed by Mayor Pao-
nessa to discuss this project met last
evening In city hall. Chairman
George H. Dyson presiding. The time
of the committee was largely taken
up with the inspection of pictures and
designs of monuments that have al
ready been erected in various places
about the country. Nothing definite
was decided and the committee Is
anxious to go slowly making thor
ough study Of all plans before rec
ommendation Is submitted to the COM
mon council.
John G. Hardy. well known archi-
tect, of Providence, r. l., had been a
visitor here, the chairman said, and
he has picked out a spot north of ne
basin at the top of Walnut Hill park
as the location for a monument. The
slope Of the land at the entrance to
Walnut Hill park, where the memo
rial arch now stands, would make. it
difficult to erect foundation heavy
enough to support a monument, in the
opinion of Mr.. Hardy.
Van Buren, Magonigle, another
prominent architect. Of New York,
plans to be in this city tomorrow to
confer on suitable plans, location and
designs. 1t is expected that Miss
Clara L. Overland of Scituate, Mass,
will also lend her advice at a future
date
In order that members of the park
board may be added to the member
ship of the committee IL found neces-
sary, 1t was voted that the committee
ask the common council that it might
be empowered to enlarge its member
ship.
In addition to Chairman Dyson, the
committee is composed of C. F.. Smith,
B. F. Gaffney. A. f. Corbin, J. C. An

Highway engineering dates back to
the earliest days Of history when first
it became necessary to insure the
transportation Of supplies for tribal
armies.
Julius Caesar was among the fore
most highway builders. Many other
noted Romans interested themselves
in this work. The Appian Way, d
long, straight boulevard, leading to
ancient Rome, is among the examp-
les OF early highway construction. So
firmly was this roadbed laid thous-
and years ago, that it is still one OF
Italy's finest avenues.
"a late example OF fine road build
ing is the Boulevard des Anglais,
which skirts the Mediterranean at
Nice, France. 1t is said to have been
constructed by British soldiers, pris.
oners under Napoleon Bonaparte. A
wide, smooth avenue which is under.

is apparently unaffected by time or

hundred years and bids fair to last
many years more.
