yet have seen a film in which
virtue was not finally rewarded
and crime finally punished. or
course, / have not seen ali films

I have seen has been good rather
than bad.
This question has been gone
into by w. A. Potts in a discus

the child questioned by magis-
trate as to why he did something.
The cinema, he says, may be re.
sponsible to some extent. but not
TO the extent which most people
think. My own opinion is that,
If parents were more generally to
accompany their children to the
movie, practically every film
would be Used to adorn a tale or
point a moral. If parents were
to put this premium on the
movie, the producers would re-
spond by still further elevating
the moral tone of their plays.
Parents, accompanying their chill
Ciren, should see a play through.
1t is a great mistake for par
ent to exclaim What horrible
filmw and to rush out at once.
1t is much better to sit there
little longer and then to remark:
This is not a very interesting
picture-a rather poor sort OF
show-let's go home and do some-
thing else. But did you see how
the william was punished and how
the heroine was rewarded?"
Children are very suggest1ble.
and the mother who does this Is
often gratified later on by hear
ing the child say to playmate.
1.-The show we saw the other day
was a pretty bad one and so we
wanted to come out in the mid
die. But we stayed till that BAD
fellow got the worst of 1t.
It is often said that II the
American movie had been super
vised from the beginning. as the
British Broadcasting Company
has been, it could have oeen
made an equally desirable 'infiu-
ence
When we get into the realm
Of suggestion there is no limit to
it's possibilities. Thus crime IS
suggested by the toys given to
children, by toy reVolvers and
swords and playing at war. The
fighting instinct, however, Is a
natural one and difficult to Grad
icate and distinctly is developed
by this form of suggestion. The
child enjoys playing with these
toys and should not be checked
altogether. The instinct would be
directed by the suggestion de-
rived from toys as well as from
movies into healthy and valuable
channels, such as fighting for the
truth or the right. and not
simply for a feud or to get the
better of a rival. AS a matter
of education we have to recoG-
nize that the instinct is there
and requires a certain amount
of natural outlet. and it is for
us to supervise and guide 1t in
the right way. According to my
observation the movie more often
than not furnishes not only 4
right way but q most valuable
opportunity.

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

A MAN who jazzed merrily
"A into marriage with five ladies
In quick succession was recently
sent to the hospital for q sanity
test.
The cynic would probably say
that he should have had five
sanity tests.
But why wait until a man has
married five innocent bystanders
before testing his sanity? Why
not test every mans sanity be.
fore he marries once?

The Washington times., 1928-06-22

Most women marry for a good
reason. But the average man
never even thinks of marrying
until he has lost his reason. He
falls, not when he loses his heart,
but when he loses his head or his
balance-and usually over the
wrong woman!
why shouldn't the man who
has just divorced one woman
for double-crossing him, yet who
blithely contemplates becoming
the fifth husband of beautiful
divorcee, be put under observation?
Why shouldn't there be a
sanity test for the elderly Lothario
who marries seventeen-year-
old flapper in the firm convic.
ton that she loves him for his
bridgework and his bald spot,
and will be content to count his
calories for amusement all the
rest of her life?
And for the man who deliber-
ately goes into total eclipse by
marrying a Lady Celebrity and
becomes a self-elected member of
the "only-their-husband club?
And for the home-loving man
who marries A Broadway butter
fly or the winner Of a beauty
contest in the fond hope that
she will "settle down" into
sweet little Alice-sit- sit-by-the.fire.
and be delighted To spend her
days darning socks, reading cook
ing recipes and listening for his
key in the latch?
And for the man who narrtes

John Hays Hammond, in accepting
the honorary Craftsmanship of the Dis
trict of Columbia section of the Hoover

mittee, said yesterday IN a statement
that Herbert Hoover in the presidency
'will continue to render, and In de-
gree even more notable, service to his
country and to humanity

1T is reason for the iustifiable
pride Of the mining profession that one
Of the great political parties has, in re-
Spouse to irresistible popular demand,
nominated as its standard bearer a dis
tinguished member of that profession.
His training and experience as an
engineer no less than his admirable
character and transcendent ability have
enabled Herbert Hoover successfully to
carry out the great humanitarian work
that has made him one of the worlds
most notable benefactors
I'm his new field of opportunity, for

idency, Herbert Hoover, engineer, philan-

TELEWSION IMAGES
ARE FAIR IN DETAIL
Results Obtained viii De-
pend Largely on Efficiency
of Reception Apparatus.

NEW YORK P).-Imperfect when
compared to a moving picture, the image
that a broadcast band television re-
ceiver will reproduce contains at least
suf1cient detail to give a fair indica-
ton of what is being transmitted.
Only the lights and shadows will
register. considerable detail bei.,g lost
as transmission over a broadcast sta
ton must be held within 5000 cycles.
Better pictures can be obtained where
the channel is as wide as 10000 cycles,
but because station separation is only
10000 cycles, limit must be placed
ON the emitted signal. In short-wave
picture sending wider channels are
available.
Results obtained will depend largely
upon the efficiency of the reception
apparatus as well as the ability of
the experimenter. To see by radio it
is necessary to have neon tube,
scanning disc turned by motor and
some means of regulating the speed
of the motor OF the various schemes
used, engineers recommend from one
to three rheoStats in the motor lines
as the simplest for the amateur. The
receiver that feeds the neon tube may
be any broadcast set, preferably one
with resistance coupled audio amplifi-
cation, as this system will pass wider
band of frequencies than transformers.
A picture can be seen only when
the speed of the receiving motor and
its disc is in step, or nearly so, with
that at the transnitter. Even then
parts of the picture may be lost due
to interference or other causes.
The received image will be crossed
by series of lines, the number de-
pending upon how many holes the disc
contains In newspaper reproduction,
a printed picture is made up of
number of dots, their closeness determ-
lining the shade.
For television, somewhat similar
system is used, except that the dots
are transmitted and received one after
another much like a line is written on
a typewriter, but at high speed. Each
dot at the receiver represents hole
in the disc which has passed a ray of
light from the neon tube for feeting
instant. The intensity of this light,
which is governed by the variation of
the received signal will determine
whether the dot is dark or light. The
dots follow each other so closely that
the eye receives the impression of a
complete picture.
Too much detail must not be ex-
pected. Parts of the face, such as the
eyes, the lips and the neck, will record
as shadows vaguely following the gen.
eral outline Of the features. Other
sections viii register as open spots.
The picture will be pink, as the glow
from the neon tube Is that color.

RED PROPAGANDA
REPORT RECEIVED
State Department Gets
Booklet Being Sold by
Russians in London.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fresS.
The State Department has received a
copy of report of the propaganda &C
tivities of the Communist Internationale,
which, it is understood here, has been
on public sale in London by Communists
for several weeks. The department, how
ever, has not made the booklet public. !.
The report describes the efforts OF
Communists to appeal to American Ma
rines being sent to China and Nicaragua
and The carrying on of propaganda work
in the vicinity of New York, Philadel-
phia and Seattle Navy Yards and parts
taken by Communists in various strikes
in the country.
The report is viewed by some State
Department officials as quite ex-
aggerating the effect of the propaganda
work being done by the Soviet in this
country and regard the report itself
as clever piece of propaganda.
The State Department maintains one
man who devotes his entire time to
the accumulation of Russian Soviet
propaganda and it is understood that
this report was received along with
similar, propaganda issued by the Soviet.
