Day at Associated Charities
The old and the Young of Ali Glasses of Life Search
Out the Desk of Miss Louise O. Beau to Find
Surcease From Their Troubles.

Senator who had heard Of her plight.
This is her story:
Il am all alone with my two young
sters. There is no one to whom I can
appeal for assistance. I must have
some money In Maryland have some
furniture with which I could furnish a
home here in Washington and could
earn livelihood by renting rooms, but
have no way of getting enough money
to hire a truck to haul the stuff to
Washington"
Miss Beall communicated with the
chapter of the Travellers Aid located in
the city in which the young woman for
merly dwelt and everything was ar
ranged to the young mothers salts
faction.
Man Turned Down.
A rather slovenly middle-aged man
entered. He asked for financial aid and
a place to sleep. It was suggested to
him that he appeal to the Emergency
Relief for work. but he informed Miss
Beall that he would not accept such a
job. Indeed not! Imagine them offer
ing him only two days work a week!
The Associated Charities would do moth
ing for him.
Miss Beall took a short period for
lunch and soon was back at her desk
An attractive young girl Is waiting to
see her. Tears streaming down her
cheeks, she makes this plea:
Daddy is so sick and all my little
brothers and sisters are so hungry
Couldn't you do something for us?"
A worker was sent at once to the
home. There she learned the mother
was dead and the father, mechanic,
was III and in need of immediate hos
pitalization. He was sent to the George
Washington Hospital, another agency
of the Community Chest. Food was
purchased and the family of six chill
dren, the oldest 18. was assured of
home and food until the father could
again become the wage-earner Of the
family.
Boy Asks for Job.
1t was growing dark and from a
window Miss Beal could see hundreds
ness when the last visitor of the day
appeared. He was l6-year r-old boy,
neat but poorly clad.
Lady, could you please get me
job? My mother is SO worried. Daddy
only makes S38 a month. and I have
been out of school for eight months and
can't find a single thing to do"
A call was made at once to large
concern which was known to be en-
ploying boys. An appointment was
made over the telephone for the youth
to interview the personnel manager on
the following morning. The boy later
got the Job and now is most enthused
about the Associated Charities.
This is a day of only one OF the
agencies maintained by the Community
Chest. There are So other agencies and
they, too. are always busy helping to
solve problems and caring for the sick,
the intirm, the youth and the aged of
Washington.

CULBERTSON LOSES
IMPORTANT POINT
Court Strikes Out Claim of
Fair Criticism in Answer
to Barclay.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 7.-Whether
Ely Culbertson must pay another con-
tract bridge expert for describing him
as more adept at bumble-puppy than
bridge, and otherwise criticizing him is
matter progressing toward decision
in the New York State Supreme Court.
Shepard Barclay, bridge writer, lee
turer, critic and club and tournament
conductor, and brother OF McClelland
Barclay, noted artist, is suing Culbert-
son for 100000 on the ground Of libel.
Since the suit was filed Barclay has
won a legal point. Justice Julius Miller
struck out from Culbertson's answer
the contention that the criticism was
justifiably fair comment. He re-
Strlcted the defendant to pleading that
partial truth Of the criticism and the
right of fair comment should mitigate
damages.
The ruling prompts the plaintiff to
hope that the sole question LETT to be
decided after CulbertsOn amends his
pleas is the amount Of damages. Cll-
bertson processes confidence that the
damages will be shown to have been MI.
He has three weeks in which to change
his answer.
Annually in the Saturday Evening
Post Barclay ranks the 10 best con-
tract players. Last March he rated P.
Hal Sims, great rival of Culbertson,
first He omitted Culbertson, saying
the latter did not enter the tournament
play until the end Of the season COW

The best 10 were selected on the basis
of performances in Journeys Of the

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. October T.
For six weeks prior to the recent break

FILMS INFLUENCE
ON NATNESPROBED
Leauue of Nations Mandate
Commission Begins Full
Inquiry.
nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA. October THE powerful
influence of motion pictures on the
population of the native dependencies
has started an inquiry by the Mandates
Commission of the League of Nations
with a view to checking the showing
of pictures unsuitable to the mentalltles
of such races
If rightly used by persons who are
familiar with the reactions of such
races. it was said, the movies can have
q very useful educative influence, where
as unsuitable pictures may constitute an
international menace.
During the commissions discussion on
the subject one member proposed that
the whole question of the dissemination
of ideas among natives by modern
methods should be examined as Whole
and include not only motion pictures,
but also wireless. gramophone recording,
and other methods.
Offers Illustration.
He pointed out the use that might be
made of these modern inventions for
opaganda purposes in colonies, and
mentioned as an example the case
which occurred in a colony bordering
on Portuguese territory.
In that territory, the member said,
some one had persuaded a chief to make
a talking machine record for the pur-
pose of inducing those members of his
tribe who were in Portuguese territory
to leave it and go back to work in the
neighboring country. The record had
then been circulated. Colonial officials
and missionaries had reported that the
movies had often helped to increase
criminality to greater extent among
natives than among civilized races.
Another member stated that motion
pictures were of great Importance not
only for instruction. but also for educa-
tion and maintenance of public order
At Dakar, Africa, to give an example
the exhibition of certain films had been
followed by a regular epidemic Of burg
laries.
Colonies Included.
1t was emphasized that the problems
raised concerned. not only inundated
territories, but also all colonies.
The Cinematographic Institute, 1t
was said, was studying this question on
a broad basis and had Nalready pub
lished some preliminary conclusions. It
had also been dealt with by the Inter-
national Colonial Institute, which re-
Gently published one or two reports on
the subject
Finally, the Mandates Commission
decided to recommend to the Council
that inquiries should be made in view
OF their importance for the education
and moral welfare of the inhabitants of
the inundated territories.
