TIME rs WASTED

The case of Rudell Heath, 21 year old Texas girl
whose frequent appearances in Los Angeles courts have
provided .nuc newspaper copy in the past two years,
provides interesting example OF the need for aten
tion to the mental condition OF those who violate the
law.
For the courts and press seemed to take
the various escapades of this young girl a joke.
When she took several shots al young who had
ceased paying attention her the court imposed fine
of dollar, which at best travesty justice.
Further infractions of the law, including assault
with milk bottle a film director, and attempt
to assault japanese physician, brought the young
lady into court but each instance she released
1t was not until MAJOR crlne-torgery-was lodged
against her and the scte forced the OF
returning her here tcXas, that held Tor
mental observation, with the result that she de-
clared insane.
For two years this insane young woman was permit
ted to filter and out of the courts be at large in
public places, though possessed of mental disease
which made her beneve she being prosecuted.
Had she been given proper examination on her first
appearance court her subsequent escapades would
not occurred and two years would not have been
wasted but could have been used in helping arrest and
perhaps eliminate, her mental affctlon.
1t is we'll for the law to be slow and sure, but there
is no need for it being foolish well.

Gilbert AT
Texas Sunday In
Hit, -Four Walls

What's the first thing a man
would notice on returning to civili-
cation after an absence Of four
years?
John Gilbert supplies the answer
in his new starring picture, -Four
Walls" which today to the
Texas theater. Gilbert plays the
role of an e~x-corvict who returns to
the East side Of New York after
four years in Sing Sing.
On the day he is released, he hur-
RIGS directly to his home in the
Ghetto, where his mother (Vera
Gordon) and Bertha Carmel Ny
ers) are waiting for him. After
greeting them Gilbert stands at the
window of the apartment and looks
down on the busy streets below him.
Gee. Ma" says Gilbert. skirts
have gotten shorter and legs longer,
haven't they?"
1t is by such human touches as
this that Director William Nigh has
made "Four Walls" one of the most
human pictures that Gilbert has ever
brought to the screen. Joan Craw-
ford has the leading feminine role,
while the cast includes Carmel My
ers, Vera Gordon. Louis Natheaux,
Robert Emmett o'Connor and others
of note.

German War Hero
Star In Official
Historical Film

Action pictures Of the famous
Baron Manfred Won Richthofen, the
@Red knight Of Germany" who has
been heralded as one OF the out
standing individuals produced by the
World War, may be seen in Behind
the German Lines" the official mo-
tion picture history Of Germany's
participation In the conflict. RIGHT.
hofen, il will be recalled, was the
German ace who downed some IS
enemy planes before he was himself
shet down by Captain Roy Brown Of
the Canadian Air forces.
The official war pictures have been
hailed rs the most interesting pic
torial history Of the war ever shown
in this country. The UFA company
Of Germany was assigned the duty
Of filming the war on all the fronts
by the then Imperial German gov
eminent and over one hundred cam
eramen followed the German troops
in action, Of which number over one
fourth were killed. OF particular
note Is the lack Of animosity in the
pictures. II Is simply . cool report
ing Of what took place from the Ger
man point OF view, and a subtle mes
sage for international amity may he
easily discovered in the unreeling OF
the scenes.
The picture shows the very first
days OF the war with all Europe arm
Ing itself fer the four long years Of
hardship. The first battle of the
Marne, supplemented by an animal
ed map is graphically shown, and
the eason for the defeat the very
gatets of Paris is given. Other bat
ties OF oil fronts quickly follow,
ending with the final rout Of the
German army by the concentrated
drive Of the Allied forces in the fall
Of 1918.
The pictures are released in this
country by Paramount, and will be
the feature attraction at the Queen
theater today.

large taxpayers, and the county COM
missioners will have no easy task in
deciding which of these roads they
will recommend for building to the
State roads commission.
Landover Route Favored.
An unbiased statement would appear
to be that the road leading from Lam
dover southeast to the county seat, a
distance of 10 or IL miles, is the one
from which the best results would be
obtained to the largest number of peo-
pie This road would afford direct
route to Marlboro from the thickly set
tied portions of Prince Georges County
contiguous to the District of Columbia,
including the area from Mount Rainier
to Laurel. and embracing the towns of
Mount Rainier, Cottage City, Colmar
Manor, Brentwood, Bladensburg, Hy-
attsville, Riverdale, College Park, Ber-
wyn, Branchville, Ammendale, Muirkirk,
Contee and Laurel. In order to reach
the county seat now, these people are
compelled to go through the District
Of Columbia
Other roads the early construction of
which will be asked for are the COM
pletion of the River road, running in
the rear of Bladensburg, from its pres
ent terminus, near the Alexandria
branch of the Baltimore g. Ohio Rail-
road, to the Washington Annapolis De-
Tense highway in Bladensburg, a dis
lance of little over a mile. This ex-
tension would be of concrete.
Delegations to Attend Meeting.
A large delegation will visit Marlboro
tomorrow, comprising members of the
Prince Georges County Federation of
Citizens Associations, headed by the
president of that organization, Alfred D.
Bailey; the Greater Bladensburg Citi-
zens' Association, headed by President
William G. Frerie; the Cheverly Citi-
zens' Association and the Decatur
Heights Citizens Association.

of these roads, and they are conceded
to be highly desirable and necessary,
would require considerably more funds
than are at present available. And this
is the situation that will confront the
commissioners and is expected to give
impetus to the proposition to float the
$4,000 bond issue.
Tax Allotment on Increase.
It is pointed out that the amount re-
ceived now from Federal aid and the
gasoline tax allotment will naturally in
crease each year and will probably
reach $15O,0O0 two or three years hence.
This sum, it is reasoned, will easily take
care of the annual interest, which will
not. it is argued, be over per cent, or
$25, 900. and may not be more than
per cent, or $4,000. With the Federal
and State income for roads in the
county a cer,afnty, it is believed that
the bonds can be fioated at substantial
premium.
From the above figures, 1t is pointed
out that at least $125,000 will be avail
able each year for the redemption of
the bonds, and the construction of per-
manent highways throughout the county
will mean much increase in the value of
property and therefore increased reve-
nue. to the State and county.

DAVIS MAKES SPEECH
+. AT PLANT CEREMONY
Labor Secretary at Dedication of
Mandatory Designed to Abol-
ish Manual Iron Pudding.
Ry tl1e fascinated press.

By the Associated Press.
AMBRIDGE, Pa, February 11.-Sec-
fetary Davis of the Labor Department
who began his career by learning and
working at the trade of iron pudding,
was called upon today to deliver the
speech of dedication over a new type
Peel plant which is intended to abolish
completely the manual trade of iron
Iuddling.
The plant. built for the A. M. Byer's
Co., will displace the old processes of
pudding iron by new method of COM
Sosing the material chemically without
the hand working and Rneading.
Think OF poor Secretary of Labor,
with his term expiring on March 4. who
must now learn new trade" the Sec
fetary said. 81 always liked my work
bf pudding because it was the most
Independent work man could do. The
han who was a good puddler or in
pther words good refiner of iron, de-
teloped an independence SO that. he
feared no one. He was the unshackled
workman of his day. -.
with this tightening of the work in
the making of iron there is an oppor-
tunity to continue in employment older
hen. In the long run every new process
hf method or machine that improves
br speeds production and cuts down
It's cost in money and labor is boon
to humanity.
we must welcome every new way Of
burning out wealth. But We must strive
bur utmost to open new industries as
fast as We speed up the old ones. The
hew day we face calls for whole new
Industries, with the jobs they hold out
TO those displaced from the old ones. y
