the past few weeks would not have been necessary. It is true that the producers allied with the above or ganization agreed to accept the code, but unfortunately there was loophole in the agreement.
 The producers provided for them selves a court to which they could appeal ill case they did not agree
 with the action of the association Ill cleaning up" or censoring a par .Icu4ar film. The producers them 5eyes sat on this court of appeals and the result was that the value of the code was lost because it -ouid not be enforced.
 The motion picture business is one of the biggest in the country. Even in the depression year of I933, oO,00O,00O of our citizens at tended the movies weekly. There are nearly I3,UO0 motion picture theaters in operation and the in Iustry employs nearly 3O0,00O people. The annual payroll of eight maJOr companies alone, in the year Iyo2, which marked the bottom of .he depression, was SI35, 5,000,00O and the film industry pays more than SI00,OO0.O00 a year in taxes.
 The motion picture plays an i'm porUant part Ill our every day life, and mas an important part in the urectug oI the lueas of the rising generation. Certainly the industry .tse.l has uuty to perform, even .nougn it Is purely a business insLi- tuJloH, and that duty Is to provide Us wItn clean, wholesome entertain ment.

 Although criticized for moral lax hess ill it's productions, the motion picture industry has never been as guilty of misconduct as the so- | caIIed legitimate theater and the | book industry. Plays and vaudeville acts are produced nightly on the stage which the screen would not

 cals are printed weekly which have
 a moral stratum several hundred | feet below the lowest of motion pie ture productions. That, however does not excuse the motion picture I TOT any transgressicns.

 duty. But why not continue the

expressed that improvement thus far

Drugs.-Strength in the primary
market has been reflected by advanc-
ing quotations in menthol according
to drug interests. Prices range from
1925 TO S3.35 a pound. Consuming
demand is only moderate.
Pig Iron.-Current shipments are
estimated at about even with the COM
paratively low volume in August.
Hides-Reports from the Chicago
spot market say that 10000 hides
have been taken by tanners during
the last few days on a slightly rising
scale of prices up TO II. cents a
pound for light native COWS.
Cocoa.-New York warehouse stocks
of cocoa beans continued to decline
during the week to 935,715 bags, &C
cording to the New York Cocoa Ex-
change. The reduction in stocks, in
the opinion of the exchange, Cub
stantiated private reports that manu-
facturers are unusually busy and are
being forced to withdraw steadily
