tract money from exhibitors for
their fiocks of poor pictures, most
of which were rarely given to pub
lie view. The remedy now forced
upon the producers-provided the
Trade Commission decision holds
goods greater care in the produc-
ton of desirable pictures, SO that
they can be disposed of on their
merits and not by being forcibly
linked up with the good pictures. In
other words, instead OF aiming to-
turn out five mediocre films to one
good one, the producers now will be
compelled to enlist their talents and
efforts toward producing pictures
which will sell on their merits.
The decision is victory for count
less exhibitors-that is. theater pro-
prietors. 1t will reduce expense and
insure a finer average run of film:
and in this way larger public will
be interested.

THE FORD RETREAT


didn't have time to read all that
went into his weekly magazine; the
stuff that was printed against the
conspiracy OF international Jews, "
ETC., he didn't read at all
Before he made his now famous
apology and retraction he says he
took the trouble to read the back
files Of the publication and was AS
founded" at the statements con-
tanned therein.
TOO busy was his explanation
for failing to read the articles
earlier. Strange that a man pub
nshing a magazine should be too
busy to take note of its sensational
outpourings during period of
years.
One gathers that he also was too
busy to read the material in the
magazine which was issued under
the title, Mr.. Ford's Own Page" on
which the motor magnate was sup
posed to editorialize upon sundry
topics. Perhaps many readers really
believed Mr.. Ford wrote the edi-
torials. 1t now seems likely he never
saw them.
While too busy to attend to such
matters, the motor maenate has
been able to take extended vacations
with Thomas Edison and other
cronies. These lasted month at a
time.
1t is also we'll known that the
management of the Ford plant has
been in the hands of his son, Edsel,
for several years. the elder Ford
being credited with merely approx
ing policies. The elder Ford has been
taking things great deal easier
that formerly. as befits his age and
accomplishments.
Less than a year ago Ford was
quoted as saying there would be no
change in Model T: that engineers
had been fussing with changes or
employed in experimenting but they
merely needed something to take up
their time and nothing different
would be manufactured. After these
denials had been fairly numerous
along came the announcement that
Model T would be ditched.
The Ford organization faces the
greatest battle in its career. Cen
eral Motors has been crowding it
consistently. Ford needs as much
good will as he can get. BY apogiz-
ing to the Jewish race for the rabid
attacks his magazine made and
promising to be good in future he
naturally adds to his chances to
capture their good will, which will
not be denied so long as it appears
to be sincere and the promises are
made good. Bye and bye It may be
possible to find Jews riding in Ford
cars and they may even be of help
in developing Palestine.
But this talk about the motor
magnate not having known of the
nature Of the attacks in the Dear
born Independent strikes us as sig
nificant. If true. 1t indicates a re-
remarkably lackadaisical kink in the
magnate's character. One Is justified
ir asking how man of such influ-
ence could be so distressingly care
less.

YOUNG DRIVERS MUST SHOW
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
State Motor Vehicle Dept. Issues
Statement To Clear Up Con-
fusion on New Laws

Hartford. July 1.-Two sections
OF a law concerning the right of
minors to operate motor vehicles in
Connecticut, which are effective on
different dates, have been RESPONSE
Bile for some confusion for those af-
fected and have resulted in numer-
Gus questions to the state motor We
hicle department. The first section
applies to registration OF vehicles by
minors after January l. 1928. and
the second, which went into effect
July l. deals with the financial re-
sponsibility to be shown by drivers
between 16 and Is years OF age.
Regarding the first section. the de-
partment explains that after Janu-
airy l the law will not allow the
commissioner to register motor
vehicle owned by any person be-
tween Is and 81 years of age I'M
less such person files proof of tinan-
cial responsibility. This proof must
be accompanied by "a certificate
signed by either or both of the par
ents, as the commissioner may re-
quire, or the legal guardian of the
minor. approving or requesting the
registration of the vehicle"
Under the second section Of this
law, now in effect persons between
16 and Is years of age must show
proof Of financial responsibility to
the commissioner. This same sec
ton also provides that owners of
motor vehicles shall not allow mi
nors between Is and Is years of age
to operate such vehicles unless the
owner or the minor has furnished
the required proof Of financial re-
sponsibility.

MARRIAGE SECRECY

Instead of aiding the publicity of
intended marriages, the recently
passed 1iye-day marriage license law
of the state threatens to add to the
possibilities for secrecy.
The town clerk of Danbury has
followed in the footsteps of the
town clerk of Naugatuck in refusing
to make public the applications for
marriage licenses or notices of in
tention to marry. Both of them de-
clare that the law does not indi-
cate that the notices of intention to
marry are public documents.

ttndent of vital statistics at Hart
