PLAYS SO HARD
He BECOMES BLIND
Lad Also Is Unconscious
Five Hours; Stricken at
School; Receivers.

Violent play, with improper respi-
ration, was blamed today by DR.. w.
L. Jennings for the sudden blind
ness and inconsistencies of LIE Roy
Rothrock, 8, son of Mr.. and Mrs,
George Rothrock, DreXel Gardens,
while playing at the DreXel Gardens
school Tuesday afternoon.
The lad, blind and unconscious
for five hours, regained conscious
ness Tuesday night and also re-
gained his eyesight. His condition
this morning was improved and it
is believed he will return to school
soon.
Declaring the case an unusual
one, DR.. Jennings gave as an example
the person who remains in a closed
garage with an automobile running.
Fumes from the exhaust will cause
blindness and inconsistencies,
death following in some cases.
The Rothrock boy was engaged IN
hard play at the time he was
stricken and DR.. Jennings says he
attributes the lads Inconsistencies
to the fact the boys lungs did not
take in enough oxygen and elim1-
nate sufficient wastes.
The result was that the wastes
poisoned the lad and overcame him,
DR.. Jennings believes.

Says Dictator.

GnIbfO fleSS stan correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, March 26.-The
screen colony has anxious eyes on
New York this week, wondering
what Will Hays and the members
of the motion picture producers and
distributors are going to do about
a code OF ethics for The talking pic
lures.
Hays. reports here indicate. is
whipping the code into shape pre-
paratory to placing it before the
eastern organization at its annual
meeting on March 81.
The code, q virtual censorship
from within the industry, was sug-
gested and passed by Hays western
group. the Association of Motion
Picture Producers.
Adoption of the code has become
of increasing Importance since Rep
resentative Grant M. Hudson of
Michigan has been pressing con-
greSs to pass his bill for federal
censorship of motion pictures.
No RidicuIe for Law
In general. the code commands
that no member of the Hays organ
ization produce a picture which will
lower the moral standards of life
subject only to the requirements
of the drama-be SAown and that
no picture shall ridiCule law.
Among matters specifically out
lawed by the code is the presenta-
ton of crime in such a way as to
throw sympathy to the criminal or
to inspire desire for imitation.
Furthermore, the methods of
crime shall not be detailed.
The code also holds that illegal
drug traffic never must be repre-
sented.
THE sanctity of the institution
Of marriage and the home shall be
upheld" the code reads. Adultery,
sometimes necessary plot material,
must not be justified nor treated at
tractively."
Other sections Of the code provide
That scenes of passion must not be
treated in manner to stimulate the
lower and baSer elements.
That white slavery shall not be
used at all.
That obscenity In word, gesture
reference, song or by suggestion is
forbidden.
Ban Placed on Nudity
That complete nudity never will
be permitted. That indecent or un-
due exposure is forbidden.
That no film may throw ridicule
on any religious faith. That minis
tiers should not be used as comic
characters or villains.
That saIacious, indecent or OBJ
scene titles must not be used.
The code concludes with para
graph that demands the following
subjects be treated with good
taste: Actual hangings or electro
cutions, third degree methods. bru-
tally and possible grewsomeness
branding of people or animals, ap-
parent cruelty to children or ami
male, woman selling her virtue.
