What is the effect of too many
movies on the children?

Scientific data is now at hand" say
the doctors in this bulletin, "to show
that every time a child goes to the
ordinary evening picture show he loses
the equivalent of three hours of sleer
above and beyond the hours by which
the show may delay his regular bed
time. This finding alone is sufficient
to warrant parents in barring movies
from the regular program of the child
of school age"
was arrived at in exact experiments by
psychologists of the country under the
auspices of the Payne fund, working
out just how the movies affect the
health and morals of children
BY means of an inconspicuous cleo
trical device attached to the beds OF
the children, the restlessness on a
movie night, compared with the normal
when the children had not been stimu-
lated by the pictures, was accurately
measured. The experiment was tried
out for some time on groups of boys
and girls in institutions. Increased
restlessness, so disturbing to rest that
it amounted to a three-hour loss of
sleep, was invariably noted. The pic
lures seen in the experiment were not
selected The resultant restleSsneSs
showed itself early in the night during
the hours which constitute the most
restful and valuable period.
Loss of sleep is serious matter to
the health of all children" the doctors
comment For highly sensitive, weak
and unstable children, it is worse.
Probably it is not necessary to ban
all pictures" they conclude. Some few

Steel ingot production has risen this

The upturn in the demand for steel
during the past three weeks is seasonal
in some respects, but probably is more
the result of depleted stocks in all

Business men and others of Pineville still talk of how Waldo Frank, New York writer who brought committee here to dis tribute food among the miners, and Allan Taub, New York attor- ney, were taken for one of these Fresh Air Taxicab" rides a short time back.
 After returning to their hotel, Frank and Taub were seized by citizens and officers, placed in an auto (driven by a Pineville mer- chant) and taken on a midnight ride to the Tennessee line. There, lights on all the cars were extin- guished. In the darkness, Frank and Taub were badly beaten.
 Another chapter in the story of Pineville is the indictment, charg- ing criminal syndicalism, that still bends against Theodore Dreiser, who led a committee here to inves- tigate conditions among the miners.
 County Attorney Smith says peo- pie like Dreiser and Frank come in here not to help the miners, but to get publicity for themselves on books they plan to write.

 Chief Osborne took me upstairs to the office of County Attorney Walter B. Smith, the official prose- cutor. MT Smith, though only 29 years old, is the dictator of Bell county. He runs everything. He is the official who publicly elected the visiting college students.
 Been out talking to those miners at Dean Branch, Walter" Chief Osborne announced as he motioned me to a seat. Took some pictures, too, and now he says he hasn't got them"
 From some mysterious source, Chief Smith seemed to know ali about my movements.
 Prosecutor Smith seemed equaI- ly skeptical. I told him I was not communist, had no communist sympathies and was merely bent upon making fair and impartial investigation of conditions. He too, demanded to see the missing notes and pictures.
 After considerable questioning, he finally released me.

The Food Crisis { Is Solved By

By ROBERT VALLEY NEA Service Writer

Pineville, Ky.-If any of the two
 busioads of eastern college stu
 dents, bent upon Investigating con- ditions in the coal regions of
 southeastern Kentucky = Harlan and Bell counties--had avoided be- ing turned back by Kentucky citi- gems at the state border and had entered the area, here's what they would have found:
 1--Suspension of all rights and all liberties in community where in there are ten thousand persons -obless miners, their wives and children--living in rickety shacks, and kept alive only by such meager relief as can be afforded bey local organisations
 2-The mines in which these men were employed operating only on part tmie, with such coal as is mined selling at price which the operators claim to be below the cost of mining
 3-Miners who are working three or four days a week drawing from $2 to $3 per day in company scrip, not in cash, and compelled to purchase all supplies from com parly stores at price which opera tors admit represents sufficient profit to the operators to help ab- sorb the deficit represented in the sale of the coal
 4-Headed by a dictator in the person of County Attorney Walter B. Smith, of Bell county, there is the picture of the business inter- ests, the churches, local commun- ity clubs, the American Legion and residents generally banded to- gether as unit to prevent any outside interference whatsoever in the community affairs
 5--In Harlan or Bell counties your sympathies must be entirely with these local community groups mentioned above as opposed to the miners or you're a "Red"-
 6-Strikes or other radical move- ments have been put down during the past year by force. About a dozen were killed in labor wars in this area during the past year
 7-As the result of labor trou- bles the various citizens organiza- tions regard the situation as now under control. and their process for maintaining quiet includes: arresting anyone not known to them; holding suspected commu- nists under charges of criminal sHndicalism; demanding that all visitors give satisfactory ac- counting of their reason for being | there.

More Improvement
In Business Seen

While trade continued irregular IN
many directions last week, evidence OF
Improvement In major branches were
more numerously apparent, according
to r. G. Dun and company.
A better tone pervades the entire
list of reports from widely-scattereo
districts, and the general adoption OF
rigid economy in management at tne
low-priced structure now developed is
aiding the progress Of commercial &C.
tivity and strengthening the general
financial foundation. Some retarda-
ton of advancement has been the re-
suit of impending governmental action
relative to taxation; in industrial
planning, unsettled commodity prices
continue to exert restraining In
fluence.
Retail trade reveals slight i'm
provement over the showing OF last
month, and internal adjustments are
in process which are calculated to
stimulate the seasonal gains anticipat-
ed in the second quarter. While the
movement continues at low levels, the
general feeling of encouragement has
given way to more constructive atti-
tude. Most retailers are becoming
reconciled to smaller profits, and
evince a healthier acceptance of the
more stabilized current conditions.

statement reveals q situation more
alarming than all panics and hard
times to date. It reveals the meaning
Of truths told and warnings flown by
Thomas jefferson, Andrew jackson,
Abraham Lincoln and other states
men of their day when opposing a
private banking system. It reveals
the dangers and wrongs condemned by
Jesus Christ when the Temple of God
was polluted by the presence Of the
money changers. The public Is asked
to believe that the banks can and
do loan 40,460. $4,000 when, in
truth and fact, there are but eight
billions Of money, all told, in the
U. S. A. If these generous bankers
can perform such miracles as this
then they could well afford to give
the poor Of this state few millions
of dollars, and they would never miss
it. All they would have to do would
be to call to their assistance some
of this legerdemain and they would
have it all back in their banks again.
Will wonders never cease? Is 1t any
wonder that they fight the issuance
of new money? II you had q con-
tract requiring that you garner into
your corral all the jackrabbits Of this
state, and you had them all in but a
very few, and then you found that
some guy up in the Red river valley
was dumping in another car load.
would it not cause your gorge to rise?
That is the situation here with the
banks. They have all the gold and

a heluvatime they will have in gath
ering it all into their Golfers and
tills.
