MOVIES CALLED
CRIME FOES

NEW YORK, March 12.-Prof
Raymond Moley, of President
Roosevelt's so-called Brain Trust,
asserted yesterday that motion pic
lures prevent and discourage
crime rather than foster it. At
a luncheon in the Motion Picture
Club, he said:
Overwhelming evidence Is
that there are more factors in
the motion picture situation
that tend to the repression
and elimination of crime than
on the other side. Will Hays
and his organization have rec
ognized the vast pOtentialities
the movies possess and have
sought to utilize it in a whole
some way.
II believe constant warfare
against crime rests on all of
us. The motion picture has a
definite responsibility which
the industry is wisely recog-
nizing."

Laws Must
BeWisely
Enforced
Rules Generalization
Should Be Avoided
When Possible.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

IN THE children's world, as in the
adults, laws must be carefully
scrutinized before they are passed, and
wisely, most wisely, administered once
they are established. When something
goes wrong it seems so easy to make a
law. Something in us seems to take
great satisfaction in saying, Thou
shalt not" thou meaning everybody.
The satisfaction is not always per-
manent. 1t is one thing to make a
law, but hundred million or so other
things to administer it. Life has or
dained that people-and children are
people-must live as one and one.
They may act in concert If they
choose, but each must think and feel
and behave and suffer and rejoice
within the narrow confines Of his own
being. Every one of us knows well
how narrow those are when unhappi-
ness enters. 1t behooves us to be
chary about making laws. The fewer
laws we have to administer, the less
We have to worry about.
What makes laws so hard to enforce
IL lIlC 4dCI bl1dO OAANy 0AC o"OCRAAS
generalizationS, while those for whom
they are made are particulars, and
insist upon behaving like particulars.
The teacher, irritated by procession
leaving the room, loses patience and
announces, Nobody else Is to leave
this room this session" That settles
that, and she proceeds with the work.
Unfortunately, there is Billy. He is
so constituted that he must leave the
room. And that settles that. Billy Is
more important than the law, and out
he goes. But that makes trouble for
the teacher who has declared the law.
Better not have made the law, for 1t
is one that concerns individuals in a
particular manner. The generaliza-
ton will not work.
So it is for most of what touches
the lives of children. We are wiser
not to make sweeping statements,
wiser not to make laws to settle irri-
tating interruptions and annoying
outbursts. Nor are We safe when we
make laws to safeguard children. mo
ghost stories are to be told children"
sounds well in the ears of those who
are dealing with stricken chill
dren. But all children are not fear
stricken, and many of them enjoy a
good ghost story, laughing heartily
and going about their play as gayly as
ever. mo movies for children under
H." sounds good to some people who
are dealing with children who are
deeply affected by exciting pictures.
But all children under IL are not so.
"Al children of 6 years Of age must
be in bed at half past g." says an
authority on child training. But what
are you going to do with the one who
does not sleep at half past 6. nor at
half past z?
Some laws there must be. The Ten
Commandments are fine. After that,
move cautiously lest you ambarrass
yourself and confuse the children. II
is far worse to make laws and be
forced to watch the children break
them because they must, than to have
to put up with infractions OF discipline
by other children who are exceptional.
Few laws, wisely administered, are
better for the health and character OF
the children concerned.

TT is all because Of the feminine
turn that fashion has taken that
bows are SO good. Vionnet uses
i them down the front Of q lovely
afternoon dress; sometimes they are
fastened, just like hustle, at the
waistline in back. There are tiny
rhinestone bows for elegant afternoon
or evening things and bows made
of fabric for simpler dresses.
Right under the chin the enormous
bow that trims the smart little dress
illustrated today does its bit toward
making this design one Of the incest
and most becoming things you could
find. It, of itself, is quite sufficient
adornment, so the rest of the frock
is very simple. Just big sleeves gath
cred into cuff at the wrist, and q
blouse with v cut out Of the front

Exercising
VitalAid to
Longevity
BY JAMES BARTON.

THE chief factor in longevity Qong
life) is undoubtedly heredity; that
is, If your ancestors for two or three
generations back were long lived. your
chances of living long are likewise
good. 81
However, no one with a bad family
history need despair If they avoid as
far as possible the pitfalls which led
to early or premature death of their
ancestors. This it was that enabled
the late Sir Hermann Weber to attain
the age Of 95 in full mental and
physical activity, in spite of the fact
that his father and mother died in
their sixtieth year.
In other words, both heredity and
environment or surroundings have q
bearing on attaining long life. .s
And long life means that there Is
the mental as well as the physical
activity.
DR.. r. King Brown in his British
Journal of Physical Medicine speaks
of the importance of exercises and
recreationS for those wishing to attain
long life. He stresses the importance
Of boys and girls and young men and
women learning to play the various
games such as foot ball, tennis, base
ball. cricket or other group games
because they learn to use their bodies
so that all parts-eye, ear, muscles
work together. Learning to play when
young thus makes it easier to play
when old even If there have been
many years in which no playing was
done or exercise taken.
He states further that exercise be-
gun in youth should never be given
up. Many attain strength and
physique and think this strength and
physique will be maintained without
exercise, which is a mistake.
After attaining middle age or slight
ly past middle age With a little time
to spare for sport, they plunge into
hard games with disastrous results.
Youth is the age for violent sport and
at middle age or even past 80 a man
should commence to prepare for old
age by taking up golf or some such
less violent sport. And the third point
Is that sport or exercise should be
indulged in daily, not just once or
twice a week. That is why the daily
exercise at home or in a gymnasium
is so suitable as it may be taken regu-
larly despite the weather.
The thought then is that light exer-
else Outdoors If possiblel should be
taken every day, If it is only walking.
If We are to keep active mentally and
physically.

" VERY mother wants her daugh-
- ters to get married because she
believes that marriage is the
~ career ordained by nature for
women and the one in which they.
find their greatest peace and happi-
ness.
This being true, it becomes just as
much every mothers duty to help her
girls get good husbands as to get good
Jobs, yet not one mother in a thousand
seems to feel that she has any re-
sponsibility in. the matter or raises a
finger to try to promote her daugh-
ters' matrimonial success. Most Of
them act as If whether their girls got
married or not was just pure accident,
like being struck by lightning.
Furthermore, when occasionally q
mother does attempt to push her
daughters matrimonial fortune, her
methods are nearly always so crude
and blundering that she blocks her
own game. We are all familiar with
the mother who hawks her daughters
around from Winter resort to Summer
resort until she makes them so cheap
and shopworn that no man wants
them. We also know the mother who
does her daughters husband hunting
for them, and who chases down every
eligible man until they fee for their
lives at her approach. And We also
see all about us the mother who so
overpraises Mamie's beauty and Sadie's
domesticity and Lulu's amiability that
she rouses suspicion in the breasts of
men and makes them wonder why
mother should be so anxious to get
rid of such paragons.
RUT there is a wide difference be-
tween the so-called managing
mama" and the mother who lends a
helping hand to her daughter in Sc
curing a good husband. The one
hinders, the other helps. The one
drives possible suitors away, the other
tolls them in. And every mother
virtually decides which she shall do.
One Of the things that we profess
to regard as a great mystery is why
some girls have dates to burn, while
other girls, equally pretty and attrac-
tive and clever. never have beau to
bless themselves with; why some girls
could marry three or four times over
and other girls never get a chance
to marry at all when, as far as we
can see, the two girls are equally
charming and equally fitted to make
good wives.
We shake our heads over the in
soluble mystery of attraction and say
1t Is one of the things nobody can
explain. but the real answer to the
conundrum is, in nine cases out Of 10
mother. One girls mother, from the
time her daughter was in grammar
school, has made her home a pleasant
and jolly place for all the girls and
boys to visit. She has kept the cookie
jar full, and taught the parlor rugs
to roll themselves up automatically
when the young folks wanted to dance
