FORM MOVIE COALITION
AGAINST u. S. INVASION

PARIS. June T.. Q1-Europe expects
soon to form a move coalition against
America.
Charles Delac, representing French
producers, distributors and exhibitors,
recently told a German organization
representing the industry there, that
the two countries will shortly, by force
of circumstance, cooperate for their
own and for Europe's protection.
France, Germany, Italy, England and
possibly Spain are regarded as likely
to join the European "bloc" to resist
the American invasion" as it is called.
France asks only reciprocity from
Germany. 1t is recognized by all the
European movie chiefs that there must
be interchange of pictures to afford
variety. The American proportion is
considered altogether too large, and
many, like ,Delac, take it for granted
there will b esone sore of protection"
to restrict the number of American
pictures.

MAIL BY LEVINE.

NEW YORK, June H1-Fred M.
Sealy, Hampstead, L. L, postmaster, is
"sorry, very sorry" that he stamped the
mail which was carried to Germany in
the Bellanca monoplane Columbia by
Charles A. Levine, flight companion of
Clarence D. Chamberlin.
Sealy said today that he has sent to
Washington report on the incident,
which is under investigation by the
postoffice department.
"Gosh," he said. "I didn't mean any
harm I felt patriotic and wanted to
do personal favor, that's all. I'm
sorry I got into this miXup. I didn't
know that there was any controversy
between the postoffice and Mr.. Levine"
Former State Senator Charles G.
Lockwood, counsel for the Columbia
Aaircraft corporation, Of which Levine
is managing director, issued a state
ment explaining his connection with
the incident He resented the impli-
cation of unnamed postoffice officials"
that the stamps on the mail would
bring $1,000 apiece from collectors and
were intended for sale. He said it had
been intended to deliver the cancelled
stamps that came back to the Brooklyn
museum of arts and sciences, so that
that institution could retain as many as
desired and distribute the rest to other
museums.
John Klemann, philatelist and Off
cial of a stamp company, said he would
not pay $50 apiece for the stamps If

Buying a Sail Boat

The nice thing about our club is the
friendly and helpful spirit of the mem

The matter of the Sailboat came up
one day when the locker boy told me

Some of them offered me boats of

The
Tail Light

The more congested traffic be-
comes. the keener must be our sense
of humor and the more liberal our
indulgence.
A selfish, inconsiderate road hog
comes along, cuts in front of us
barely scraping our tenders and con-
tinuing unmolested. In former days
we used to race after him and give
him a dose of his own medicine.
That's passe today. 1t reveals a
sour, intolerant attitude on life.
Let the road hog have his wide
berth. His is the dangerous and
worthless course, in the long run.
We may get satisfaction out of the
lesson we might give him, but we
might. do so only at the expense Of
congesting traffic further and MAX
ing it all the more dangerous.
