THE OVERDUE REACTION
AGAINST STAGE INDECENCY
Duluth Hera1d)

The pendulum of change never
rests; and when it swings far in one
direction, it is as sure as tomorrow
dawn that when it swings back it will
swing as far in the other direction.
Maybe farther.
Indecency and shameless exposure
on the stage have gone to the limit
and that limit far beyond anything
ever before dreamed of in the his
tory of this country that had it's
strong roosts in Puritanism. Indeed,
it would be necessary to go back 30
the abandoned shamelesness CT the
Restoration to find anything in the
history of the nglish-speaking stage
to match it.
But the inevitable reaction has
come. Flo Ziegfeld, master of spec
tacle, dressing his chorus girls to
the neck was one loud sign of it.
And a story contributed by the New
York correspondent of the Christian
Science Monitor is another.
The story describes rehearsal of
the new A. L. Erlanger musical COM
edy, Honeymoon Lane" When Ed
die Bowling, rehearsing his part,
said I'm only a bum," Director Ed
gar MacGregor interrupted: wait a
minute, Eddie; that line has been
changed. Make it I'm no good
This incident illustrated just a part
of responsibility put upon the dir
ector of this new play by Mr.. Erlan-
gers solemn injunction to obey rigidly
the following rules:
Not word of profanity or vul-
garity.
The dialogue must be clean and
respectable.
There must be nothing that will Of
fend people of refinement and. intelli-
gence.
No speech must indicate contempt
of the prohibition law nor disregard
of its provisions.
There must be no scenes showing
the drinking of liquor.
There must be no reference to any
form of religious belief that would
offend people holding that belief.
There must be no immodest cost
umes.
And there may be scenes in which

Louis w. Hill, Jr., son of the
chairman of the board of directors of
the Great Northern Railroad and
grandson of James j. Hill, the 'em-
pire builder" as, he was known,
started out recently working as a
section hand at $2.35 day and
board and room. His intentions are
to start from the bottom of the ladder
and work his way up. Probably the
only bad feature about it is that he
knows that any time he gets tired of
the proposition he can quit and
doesn't have to worry about his
daily bread the next day. Young
Hill said: "The name Hill has given
me an education and diploma. The
hardest thing in life-as I see it now
will be to live that name down..
Sometimes the world may seem hard
and cruel, but lucky is the fellow
who is born out of a family of ordin-
airy means and has to dig in and
work his own way up. Hewill have
experience and many other good
qualifications that fit him better for
life's duties than those who are born
to riches.

The worlds baseball series gets the
front page space in the dailies these
days. BY New York winning yester-
day, they are now tied with st. Louis,
each team having won two games.
The base ball they have exhibited
has been of the highest order, the
errors being so few that they can
hardly be counted. Fer instance,
yesterday the New York team had
one error and St. Louis none Alex
ander of st. Louis, pitched a wonder
full game Sunday, establishing a rec
ord that has been excelled but two
or three times. He struck out 10
Yankee batters in that game. Babe
Ruth, the hard smuggling outfielder of
the Yankees, made three home runs
yesterday and gave the fans the
usual thrill that they expect when he
steps to the plate. The Cardinals
are working desperately hard to cop
the coveted honor and it appears that
they have the sympathy of the fans
over the country. Here's success to
the western team.

AUTOS WE'LL DISTRIBUTED
in UNITED STATES

Sometimes we hear speakers telling
of that and that country being so and
so prosperous and that farmers there
mand higher priced cars. In the
United States there is one automo-
bile to every six persons, an average
so far above other countries that
there is hardly any comparison,
which goes to show where the great
est prosperity is.
Motor cars in operation throughout
the world on January 1, 1925, totaled
24,589,2 49, an average of one car for
every II persons, according to a re-
port of the United States Department
of Commerce. The United States has
the greatest number of motor vehicles,
averaging one to every six persons.
Hawaii is second, with one car for
every II persons, while Canada is
third, with one car for every 13 per-
sons. New Zealand is fourth with
a ratio of one to IA; Australia fifth
with one to 20, and Denmark sixth
with one to 81. Ratios for other
countries vary from one to So for
France to one car to 100000 people
in Afghanistan, which has the lowest
ratio.
Great Britain with S15,957 automo-
biles is next to the United States in
the number of cars registered; France
is third with ,735,000, and Canada
fourth with 1892 motor vehicles.
Germany with $4,000 automobiles,
Australia with 291,212. Argentina
with 17S,05O and Italy with f14,70O
are the only other countries with a
total registration exceeding the
100000 mark. New Zealand lacks
only 500 of this mark, and Belgium
and Sweden are within fairly close
range of it.

a girl is caressed by man only if
there is clean love interest to JUS
tify it.
Director MacGregor told the inter-
viewer that though Mr.. Erlanger has
not been active as a producer for
some time, he has watched the course
of the stage and the reaction of aud
fences, and he is firmly convinced
that while Objectionable plays may
have superficial semblance of pop
ularity and snccess, the great ma
jority of the people who go to the
theater and who must be depended
upon to support the theater are in
telligent, refined and clean-minded."
That means that even though filth
seems to pay for moment, in the
long run It is losing game, as it
ought to be if humanity deserves to
keep on existing.
And, concluded the director, "Mr.
Erlanger believes that the lowering
of moral standards should have been
stopped long ago, and that it must
be stopped now if those who repre-
sent the theatrical-producing interests
are to deserve the respect of the
great body of respectable playgoers."
He might have said if the drama is
MOTTO collapse in a sink of putridity.
Mr. Erlanger, like Mr.. Ziegfeld,
shows not only good sense, but good
business judgment, to say not a word
of selfrespect and of decent regard
for the great art with which they are
associated.

 Thus far 1926 has been a sad year for herring packers in this part of Alaska. Lee H.

 Camel leads because of Camel quality. No other cigarette made can match Camel goodness. Camel is made of the choicest Turkish and Domestic tobaccos grown, master fully blended as in no other ciga- rette to give you all of their mild and mellow Aavors.
 In all tobacco time there has neverbeensuch a favorite as Camel, for Camel goodness has no equal. For sheer quality of tobaccos, for deep-down smoking enjoyment, R. |. Reynolds Tobacco Com

for favor with smokers, Camel stands alone, supreme among cigarettes.
 Camel is the worlds favorite be- cause Camel pleasure never palls. You simply can't smoke enough of them to tire your taste. No one ever smoked a Camel and re- gretted it. Came1s never leave a cigaretty after-taste.
 We believe that your first real smoking pleasure will come when you taste the smoke from the finest tobaccos nature produces. The worlds largest tobacco organiza- ton invites you to try now the favorite of millions of experienced smokers.
