CENSORSHIP
OF MOVIES

TNHERE is just as definite duty
i on the public's part to organize
the demand for good pictures as
there Is duty on the producers
part to supply good pictures. This
is the view of viii H. Hays, motion
picture arbiter. in the Review of
Reviews.
But it is q sad fact. he reminds
US, that the public has not always
recognized this duty, and some OF
the most splendid and artistic mo-
ton pictures have failed of COM
mercial success because of the lack
of patronage by the very type of
men and women who constantly
call for better pictures.
Mr.. Hayes feels that the only
true and effective censorship is the
sane self.regulation which operates
in the one and only place where all
possible wrong can be kept ous Of
pictures and all the gr,d advan.
tages retained. and that place Is
the studio where the pictures are
made, at the time they are made,
and by the men who make them.

A generous serving Of milk
toast and some fresh fruit makes
a meal that is restful for the
business man who might find a
heavy meal hard to digest on top
of the worries of a harrassing
day at the office.
Tired school children, who eat
this supper and are ready to 90
to bed early, have no Little

additional advantage of milk
toast is that it can be easily and
quickly prepared by the busy
mother. At the same time she

she would stop and adjust with

that stood in dull blue bowl.
Several times she threw herself

Immediately, and resume her rest.
less pacing. Once she seated
herself at the piano and began
to play over a favorite air, but a
minute later she concluded her
music with a violent discord.
Once more she walked up and
down the room.
She crossed to the window and
peered out into the lamplit street.
There was no one in sight but a
postman engaged in emptying q
pillar-box.
A clock nearby began to strike
nine, and then others began to
take up the braZen music. Slowly

nine dull strokes doomed and re-

To Mavis 1t seemed as though
they would never make an end.

Jefferies was due to call at
nine. She must compose herself
or he would detect the violent
emotions that were playing havoc
within her. Once more she seated
herself at the piano, and began
to play softly a little thing of
Chaminade's.
There came q knock at the
door, and In a moment she left

Jefferies stood outside; the light
from the hall fell on his white
