Representatives Of dozen embassies

Secretary Stimson instructed the
Latin American Division of the State

The Secretary is studying the whole

And while he was down there in the

rabbit he growled:
Well, guess I'll take some nib
bles before I curl up for my long

Wiggily!'
well, 1 guess you will not!" cried
the rabbit. With that he took the
sharp end OF a carrot and he tickled
that Bear SO much in his ribs that
the Bear laughted and turned a
somersault and went head over

of the cellar. Then Uncle Wiggily
locked the door and brought up
bushels and bushels of vegetables to

THE MOVIES

MUCH criticism is directed as a matter
LII of course at the motion picture indus
try. Many blame it for at least portion
of responsibility for the alarming in
crease in crime, others are continually
harping at the undesirability of various
types of films, the poor stories on which
they are founded and the poor acting
which is used to portray them.
Few of US stop to realize that the
movies are still in their infancy and that
the transition from silent to sound pic
lures entirely revolutionized the indus
try.
1t is quite likely that those connected
with the industry would be the first to
admit the existence of faults enumerated
here.
On the other side of the ledger, the
movies must be credited with providing
entertainment which would otherwise be
denied them, for the great mass Of peo-
pie. The best in acting and musical
talent is presented to us at a figure with
which the speaking stage cannot COM
pete. Far away lands which few of us
would ever have the opportunity of see
ing, are brought near through the medi-
UNI of the screen.
Whatever faults the motion picture in
dustry may have, stinginess is not among
them. No worthy cause ever appeals to
the film world without success. Its rec
ord during the World War was outstand-
ing among the industries of the nation.
Next week the films are giving another
exhibition of their attitude toward the
people. Every motion picture house in
the United States, at some time or other
during the week starting November p,
and eding November %, will have bene-
fit performance, the proceeds of which
will be turned over to aid the unemploy-
ed and the needy.
When one stops to think what splen-
did thing this is, the movies faults be-
come minor ones indeed. If every indus
try in the country did as much, there
would be few women and children COM
PEELED to go hungry or cold this winter.
If we remember rightly, the distin-
guished member of the United States SUI
preme court, who was honored by all
when he observed his 18th birthday last
week. at one time was considered not good
enough to adorn the bench
