TIDEWATER POTOMAC
HISTORY IS DEPICTED
Paul Wilstach Describes Important
Place Occupied by 100.
Mile Stretch.

The important place in American
history occupied by the 120-mile stretch
of the tidewater Potomac from Little
Falls to the Chesapeake was described
for members of the National Geographic
Society last night by Paul Wilstach in
an address at the Washington Audito-
rum. Mr.. Wilstach has written q num-
Der of books about this region.
Beginning at old ST. Mary's, where
Lord Baltimore's colony made Its first
settlement, the speaker traced the grad
ual development up the river, where
many of the finest of the great colonial
manor houses were erected While some
of the famous old residences have fallen
into ruin or have been destroyed by
fire, as was Wakefield, birthplace OF
George Washington, many others are In
good repair today, Mr.. Wilstach pointed
out. Views were shown of Stratford
Hail. the ancestral home of the Lees;
Gunston Hall, Carlisle House. Airing
ton and Tudor Place, the latter in
Georgetown.
Other photographs showed the life
of today in some of the backwater
reaches of the tidal region, where sur
roundings and Customs have changed
little in the past 200 years.
A considerable part of Mr.. Wilstachs
talk was devoted to Mount Vernon and
its gardens. He praised the work of the
Mount Vernon Ladies' Association and
depicted the results of its activities by
exhibiting first photograph of the
house In its shabby condition at the
time of the Civil War and Immediately
afterWard view of the place after the
associations restoration.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 5.-The right
Of the authorities invested with the is
suance of licenses for motion pictures to
pass judgment also on the dialogue, in
case the films are sound pictures, is
challenged in an injunction proceeding
filed in the New York Supreme Court
yesterday by the Pathe Exchange, Inc.
Upon the latter's application Justice
Mitchell issued temporary injunction
forbidding Frank p. Graves, State COM
missioner OF education, and Gen. James
Wingate, director of the motion picture
division of the State education depart
ment. to interfere with the exhibition
of the sound picture "Sal of Singapore"
pending the outcome of the proceeding.
The Pathe Exchange Inc, in its petit
ton said the original of the picture and
four prints were licensed by Mr.. Win
gate on october IL. Subsequently Pathe
prepared sound dialogue for the picture.
On November 2 the Pathe company
sought licenses for six additional prints.
These were granted, but they bore the
notice that the exhibitions Of the pic
lures with dialogue or sound not APP
proved by the State education depart
ment would invalidate the licenses.
It is argued by the motion picture
company that the State education law
requires the State to license every pic
ture unless the film or any part of it
Is indecent, obscure, sacreligious or
would tend to corrupt morals or incite
to crime.

KING IS I'M PROVING,
BULLETIN REPORTS
Slight Gains Are Scored After
Marking Time for
Two Days.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, January 5.-King George
has scored another gain In his fight
for recovery. After two days in which
his majesty's condition remained
stationery, his doctors were able this
morning to report a further Slight i'm
provement
The medical bulletins. meanwhile,
have showed that the King was passing
his days more comfortably and resting
better at night. This gratifying state
OF affairs, it was taken for granted was
notably helpful in bringing about the
retirement announced today.
The morning bulletin said:
THE King has had good night and
there is slight improvement in his
majesty's condition"
Further Advance Hoped.
Palace circles regarded this mornings
bulletin with satisfaction, and hope
was expressed that the small improve
ment noted today might be followed
by further advance.
Sir Hugh Rigby, the. surgeon, who
did not call at the palace last night
for the first time since his operation
on the King during December, arrived
with Lord Dawson of Penn shortly be-
fore 10 this morning and the two doctors
remained In consultation with Sir
Stanley Hewitt for more than an hour
and half.
1t was stated that no significance was
to be attached to DR.. Rigby's visit to-
day.
Ruler Sleeping Better.
The King has been sleeping better of
late Since nothing to the contrary
was said in the official bulletins, it was
supposed today that he lad been taking
nournishment in sufficient quantity to
maintain, if not actually increase, his
strength
The importance OF inducing the King
to take nouriShment has brought into
prominence Sister Rose Simmonds, q
dietetic specialist, who had part of her
training in America. Owing her spe-
cial qualifications to study of dieteticS
at the Rockefeller Institute in the
United States, Sister Rose, after return
ing to England and reSuming her work
at the London Hospital, became head
of its dietetic department There she
has shown herself expert in preparing
food for the sick. making them by
flavorings and variations tempting to
patients who, like the King, were dis
inclined to take nourishment.
The growing confidence at the palace
over the Kings condition was further
revealed when his sons decided they
could venture shooting party lasting
several days at Sandringham. The
Dukes of York and Gloucester will GO
first, to be followed by the Prince Of
Wales.
