CHURCHPAPER
CLAIMS FILM
REFORM SURE

NEW YORK, July ID. U.P) -
Complete capitulation of Hollywood
to a religious drive for clean pic
lures was claimed by a promi-
nent Catholic publication today
while the largest Protestant Or
ganization in the country joined the
Catholic hierarchy in a film boy
colt.
The Catholic news claimed a
rigorous code Of ethics drawn up
in 1880 by the Rev. Daniel A.
Lord, S. j., for the guidance of
producers now would be enforced.
The code was adopted by the Mo-
ton Picture Producers and Distrib-
utors, of which Will Hays is presi-
dent. but was entirely ignored
thereafter, the publication said.
The federal council Of churches
of Christ, representing Protestant
organizations with a membership of
% 100000, approved a united front"
with the Legion Of Decency. a
boycott organization sponsored by
Catholics. The interdenominational
conference of the conference ap-
proved a campaign 10 obtain signed
pledges from Protestants agreeing
TO boycott smutty shows. The
pledges will be circularized i'm
mediately
The code revealed by the Cath
olic news provides complete
frame for the production of pic
lures. 1t sets rules and makes
bans for presentation Of themes
concerning sex, crime, conduct and
/ speech, churches ard countries.
\ Seduction may be suggested only;
never shown by explicit method.
Adultery is admitted as some
times necessary plot material but
/ it cannot be explicitly treated or
justified. Scenes Of passions are
forbidden if not essential to plot.

SPECIALIZATION
PROGRAM To
GET STARTED

WASHINGTON, July Ia U.P) -
The first definite step in the Roose-
selt Administrations specialization
program. aimed at bringing secu-
rity and good housing to every per-
son in America, was outlined today
as a system for non-profit farm
and manufacturing enterprises un-
der government auspices.
The experiment is to be tried
out in Washington, D. c., and eX-
tended to the country as conditions
warrant.
Other provisions of the sociali-
zation program, to be worked into
legislation at the next session of
cong,-ss. cover unemployment in
surancel old age pensions and new
opportunities for home ownership
President Roosevelt sent a mes
sage TO congress on the subject but
the time was too short for enact
ment Of legislation at the session
which ended last month.
His officials here are studying
various proposals during the sum-
mer. The Presidents return from
Hawaii will give emphasis to for
nation of a definite program for
the next congress.
In its initial stages the self-help
plan is for creation of government
corporations which will take per-
sons off the local relief rolls and
put them on farms and in factS
ries. The theory is that food anc
goods will be produced in this way
which will go to the workers and
others needing help but unable to
work.
None Of the materials will go in
TO the channels of private business,
as persons now on the relief rolls
become rehabilitated it is hoped
that more and more will be absorb
ed into regular jobs.

GERMANY IN
TIGHT PLACE
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, July IA. GERMANY
seemed confronted today with the
alternative OF adhering to an east
ern European security treaty or
facing encirclement of hostile ma
tions
As the result of a statement of
British approval of the proposed
treaty by Sir John Simon, foreign
minister, one Of two courses seemed
certain:
l. That Germany would adhere
to the treaty, along with Russia.
Poland, Czechoslovakia, LatYia, Lii
tijuana mad Esthonia; that Russia
would join the League Of Nations
and Germany would cancel its res
ignation; that France would agree
to a German army of 100000 in
stead of 10000 but would insist on
maintaining its own army at its
preseri. strength of 584 1000 and that
the disarmament conference would
be resumed.
2. That Germany would lose
British and Italian support and
France, Russia and Czechoslovakia
would form a defensive alliance;
that Russia would join the League
of Nations and become an increas-
ingly important power in European
politics as a factor for peace: and
that disarmament efforts would re-
main fruitless.
United Press dispatches from
Moscow. Berlin, Rome, Geneva and
Paris agreed that sentiment was in
favor of German adherence to the
proposed security treaty, which
would be followed by friendly ges-
lures in her favor-particularly as
regards her desire to rearm her
self to a point where national pride
would be satisfied.

cation.

trick yesterday.
Last night was the first "bank

there to receive it.
The rules, Manager Norris ex-

the money is to be presented to be
there in person. If not, the money
goes over until the next week and
doubles up, SO that some person is
going to get s100 next Friday night,
providing he or she is present in
the audience.
Managerc Norris had the check
all made out last night, ready for
presentation, but the black cat or
something else put the jinx on Mrs.

Other critics have declared 1.-The
Thin Man, to be the most unuS-

are stepped in drama and spooky
shadows, 1.-The Thin Man" is hu-
morously entertaining as we'll as

LACK OF ADEQUATE SPACE IN CITY
LIBRARY POINTED OUT IN REPORT

Proof that El Centro IS public IL
brary is serving q greater need
than ever before. due in great
measure to the number of idle
persons making use OF it. is seen
in the annual report of Agnes Fer

Mrs. Bigelow points to the con-
gested conditions in the library
which, despite the heavy demands
on it, is operating with an insult
ficient staff and on shortened

Gentlemen:
I have the honor to submit the
25th annual report of the El Gen.
tro Public Library, which covers
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1884. The summer of statistics con-
forms to the requirements of the
California Library Association.
In times of financial depression
there is always a marked increase
in the use Of Libraries. This is very
true in the present crisis and our
library has never meant more in
the community than it does today
In spite of cur cuts in budget
and staff, and the shorter hours
Of opening necessitated by this, our
circulation has averaged l8 books
per borrower this year, and more
than II books were circulated per
capita The American Library As
sociation recommends one person
on the staff for every 10000 books
circulated and our circulation has
averaged 81, ,822 books for each staff
member.
Our borrowers now number 5,971,
which is II per cent of the pop
ulation according to the last GEN.
sus.
The percentage of non-fiction
circulation has steadily increased.
The new books on economics, sci
ence and sociology have been much
in demand. The many requests
for books and material on such sub
jects as the radio; advertising, air
conditioning, placer mining and
chemistry prove that the library is
practical benefit to the public.

SISTER MARYS
D z KITCHEN

NEA Service Stan Writer


UCAN she make a cherry pie,
" Billy Boy, Billy Boy?" Re-
member the old song? I've always
agreed with Billy Boys solicitous
friend that the ability to make
good cherry. pie is really one of the
tests of whether a girl will make
a good wife or not. And now is
the time of the year to put the
matter to the test.
The big sweet cherries have
been on the market since early
in May but the season won't get
into full swing until late June and
the late varieties will last until
August, giving plenty of time for
practice before, shall we say, an
October wedding?
The big cherries make a fine
dessert or first course as they are
and a jellied salad of the juice of
tart cherries and granulated gela-
tin with stoned white cherries
sprinkled through the mold is de-
licious and colorful. This salad
can be made the day before want
ed for serving and is particularly
good if chopped nuts are added
to the mayonnaise.
