BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-"Hitler-
Beast Of Berlin" a Hollywood movie,
was rejected yesterday by the New
York State movie censors.
Irwin Esmond, director of the re-
viewing board, said the film was
turned down because it was found
to be "inhuman, sacrilegious and
tended to incite to crime"
Henry Rathner, the producers
representative, declared the decision
was a violation of constitutional
rights and said, We'll fight this to

Boston Police
Have Halloween
Headache EurIy
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON. Oct. 31.-Police Com
missioner Joseph E. Timilty had
that beforehand headache today
which goes with throwing a big
party, but he hoped his second an
nual spook festival for 100000
Boston kids would ease the usual
morning-after- Halloween headaches.
Between buying great gobs of good
things to eat, arranging for enter
tainment and trying to fix his
schedule so as to attend every one
of the So police parties to be given
In the city tonight, Mr.. Timilty
commented that the normal Hal
loween damage in Boston, estimated
at $50,000, was cut in half when
10000 children showed up at Is
police stations for the first expert
mental party last year.
With facilities for keeping the
city's small fry off the streets almost
tripled this year, Mr.. Timilty ex-
pressed hope that damage would be
almost negligible tonight.

Bankhead Denies Gag"
Earlier Speaker Bankhead joined
in denying that the proposed pro-
gram is a gag rule"
Il do not think that there is any
possible ground for legitimate criti-
clsm of the rule in that regard"
Meanwhile Majority Leader Ray
burn made known that he would
ask the House to meet at IL am.
tomorrow, an hour earlier than
usual. A night session is not ex-
pected today, but the hour of ad-
journment tomorrow has not been

Fish Sees Chance for Upset.
Representative Boland of Penn
sylvania, the Democratic whip, an
nounced today that on the basis of
more than half completed poll of
Democratic members he was certain
no major change would be made in
the Senate measure. But Repre-
sentative Fish said there was a
chance that administration plans
could be upset
Under the procedure approved by
the Rules Committee after a stormy
hearing yesterday, the House would
vote on setting up Senate-House
conference committee which would
seek a compromise between:
l. The Senate bill repeating the
embargo on the sale to belligerents
of arms, ammunition and imple-
ments of war.
2. A bill passed by the House last
summer retaining the embargo on
arms and ammunition but permit
ting sale of implements of war.
Some members interpret the latter
as authorizing the sale of planes.
Both Back "Cash-and-C Carry"
Both measures would restrict
American shipping by establishing
"cash-and-carry' trade with war
ring nations.
The Rules Committee, Chairman
SABBATH said, did not take a record
vote yesterday on the parliament
tary procedure which it recon-
mended to the House. At one point
in the committee discussion, Repre-
sentative SABBATH said the Germans
would not have captured the Ameri-
can freighter City of Flint if the
Senate bill had been on the statute
books.
Representative Cox replied:
The seizure of the City of Flint
has been seized upon by those con-
Quoting the campaign to stimulate
war spirit Nothing has been
said about the seizure of Is of our
ships by Great Britain"
Mr.. Cox supported the adminis-
tration procedure, although COM
menting that he was mot at all
happy about it," because amend
ments to the bill would not be per-
mitted.
Conferees Selected.
During the day Speaker Bankhead
announced that the House repre-
sentatives on the Conference Com
mittee would be Chairman Bloom of
the Foreign Affairs Committee and
Representatives Luther A. johnson.
Democrat, of Texas; Kee, Democrat,
OF West Virginia; Fish and Eaton,
Republicans, of New Jersey, top
ranking members of the committee.
Mr.. Fish protested during the
Rules Committees session that the
legislation would be written by a
packed" group of conferees. Rep
resentative Cox objected to so strong
a word and suggested that it had
just happened that the majority of
those who ordinarily would be ap-
pointed conferees favored the ad-
miniStration' bill.

strongest elements advocating war
for Germany.
There is a grim fascination in
watching the test Of brute strength
between England and Germany as
the Britons try to tighten their
blockade into complete strangle-
hold about the fiercely resisting
Reich. Or success or failure of the
blockade may depend the outcome
of the European upheaval.
Unfortunately, if blockade is
successful it means hunger for
civilians. The approach Of starva-
ton was the immediate cause of
Germany's collapse in the last war.
1t took the English Navy two
years to squeeze Germany badly. BY
the winter of 1916, however, the
fatherland and Austria were suffer-
ing terrible distress, and it was only

Shortage of Food and Clothing.
When we got into Germany just
after the cease-fire there was
shocking shortage of both food and
clothing-a lack of most everything,
for that matter. Fats were almost
unheard Of, and because OF this
there were many people who hadn't
seen soap for years. A cake of soap
was literally worth more than a
handful of money, and was some
times used for barter trade.
Apropos of this situation was an
experience had in Cologne. Dur
ing a conference with war corre-

naughty person. demanded why the
allies weren't rushing food and

Acting as spokesman, told him
the allies were too busy feeding the

Manners of the
Moment

Until the day comes when thea
ters are fixed so that one can smoke
inside them, I do think that people
should be mindful of the exits IN
the intermissions.
There are some people who get to
the exit first, establish themselves
there in such a fashion that no one
can pass them, and happily light
their cigarettes. And you, who hap
pen to have been stuck in the mid
die of a row filled with immovable
men and women with large knees,
are completely frustrated.
OF course you may grow reckless
and say to yourself, We'll, it's not
my fault that I can't get out into
the lobby" Thus you persuade
yourself that it would be all right
for you to smoke inside the theater.
But just then one of those snappy
little ushers comes along and chirps
at you that you're not allowed to
smoke inside.
The only thing to do is to break
right through the doorway blockade
with your elbows out Some one has
to break through the line, and it
might as we'll be you.
But it would be nice If people
would remember that a theater
doorway isn't the Vassar daisy
chain. JEAN.

MRS. D. C. H.
Answer-With your two fireplaces
you will need balance but not ex-
actly the same thing over each
mantel. Suggest you use a mirror
in the darker end, away from the
windows as it will reflect light. Use
a portrait, or painting over the
other, and accessories on the mantel
such as candle sticks, bits of porce-
lain, or bowls of flowers which are
about the same size in mass,
but not twins in design. You will
naturally sit near the windows dur
ing the day so that group will have
your own table and chair for read
ing and sewing with another chair
for a friend. Avoid placing a large
sofa across the middle of the room
to cut it in two. Place the sofa
against the wall and use two chairs
with a table between them or a
corner chair so that the two fire
place groups will tend to work in
together when you have a large
group. If you have them made, con-
slider using two round rugs-they
seem to work out very well.

Dorothy Dix Says
Wife Must Outsmart Siren if
She Wants to Keep Husband

Of the home and that their Marias
were their hearts desires.
But predatory lady happened
along and marked one of these
Darbys for good thing. BY tricks
that are dark and ways that are
vain she proceeded to purloin him
from his rightful owner. If she was
young and good looking, she turned
all her batteries of attraction on
him. If she was older and not so
pulchritudinous, she understood"
him and made him believe that the
wife who had known him for IS
years didn't. In either case she
doped him up on overdoses of fiat
terry, and before he knew it he, who
had always walked the straight and
narrow way, found himself swinging
down the primrose path. He never
knew how 1t happened, but the
woman who tolled him away from
his home and wife and children
knew.
And, Of course, when a husband
is stolen it is very often due to the
negligence Of the wife. She thought
she had something she couldn't lose,
so she didn't keep it under lock
and key or bother about its safety.
She let herself get slouchy, and
there we're other women who were
easy on the eyes waiting to grab
him. She let home life get dull and
she nagged and fretted him, and
there were gay places to go to and
gay ladies waiting for him.
And 50 she lost him because she
didn't take the trouble to keep him.
There are always thieves waiting for
pickups. DOROTHY DIX.

When a married man forsakes his
legal spouse for younger and fairer
lady with more umph to her, his wife
invariably claims that he was stolen
from her. Thus does she save her
face and prepare an air-tight alibi
for him in case he discovers that
forbidden sweets have become dust
and ashes in his teeth and he desires
to return to home and mother.
Now. without doubt the wives are
in the right Of it in many cases, for
there are enough authenticated in
stances of women who have had
their husbands snitched from under
their very eyes when they happened
to be looking another way for a
moment to lend color to the love-
thief legend. Nor can any one deny
that many wives have found that it
was just about as safe to leave their
husbands alone with their best
friends as it was to leave their pearl
necklaces in an unlocked drawer.
For to many women to see thing is
to want it, and the mere fact that
it belongs to some one else does not
restrain them from taking it.
Still and all, the love thief who
rates more than an amateur stand
ing and gets beyond mild Irritation
with another woman's husband is
comparatively rare. It is seldom
that one has the skill and knowledge
of how to jimmy a way into a mans
heart or carries enough TINT in her
personality to blow up his conscience
and his fear OF Mrs. Grundy and
make away with him If he puts up
any sort Of fight, or tries to protect
himself against her. So we are led
to the conclusion that when a hus-
band Is stolen it is generally an in
side job and that he was, at least,
accessory before the crime.
OF course, there are exceptions to
this rule. All of us know staid, do
mestic, unromantic, middle-aged
married men who have been stolen
from their wives as ruthlessly as q
stick of candy is taken from q baby.
Left alone, these men would have
been faithful husbands and gone
contentedly on to their golden we'd
ding days believing in the sanctity

Answering
Readers
Queries
Fee to Clergyman
After a Funeral
Not Necessary
By EMILY POST,

Dear Mrs. Post: What is the reg
ular fee given to a minister who
has oficiated at funeral? And
what is generally given to the Or
ganist who provided the music?
Answer: I can't answer about all
churches, but in all those about
which I happen to know personally
protestant ones) the clergymen
never expect, and only on occasion
receive, anything as a fee for q
funeral. 1t Is true that a clergy
man does receive fee for q mar
riage, but that is quite a different
thing, since the bridegroom pre-
pares in advance for the giving of
this fee. A funeral. on the other
hand, comes at the end of perhaps
very long expense for illness and
with the family facing the other
necessary expenses for funeral ar
rangements, and the family is often
in a position where any added
burden would be uncomfortable. At
the same time, those who can afford
to pay generally do either give a
fee to the clergyman personality or
make q contribution to his parish.
Quite apart from this, the bill for
opening the church, which includes
heating and lighting and busting,
and music-whether it be that of
an organist or a full choir-is al
ways rendered to the family, except
of course in q case where the
organist or the soloist is a friend
Of the family who has volunteered
his or her services.
Dear Mrs. Post: (a) When
Swedish pancakes are passed
around for dessert, how many cakes
Is each one supposed to take? CO.
And I have noticed that a small
knife and fork are provided. Since
1t doesn't seem necessary to me to
cut these cakes with q knife, is it
improper to cut them with a fork
alone and pay no attention to the
knife? Perhaps the knife is pro-
vided just because it's etiquette to
do so.
Answer: (a) This depends to q
certain extent upon the height and
number Of the stacks Of cakes and
the number of people for whom the
stacks are intended. In other
words, when the supply is moderate,
you must be sure not to take more
than your portion Of whatever the
amount might be, divided equally.
When the platter Is stacked plenti-
fully, you take as many, or as few,
as you ike-one inch, two inches
or even two and half inches! (b)
You need never use an implement
that is not necessary. If q knife
is supplied and you want to use
it, then use 1t. In the same way,
when q fork and q spoon are
brought in on the dessert plate,
you may use both If you want to,
or on the other hand, you may use
whichever one you prefer, alone.

continue using it. During the holi-
days one of the back legs was
broken off, and the wood seems
to be dry and spongey and will
not hold the necessary number of
screws to strengthen 1t. Can you
give me advice on what could be
done so that this article might
still be useful?
MRS. F. D. G.
Answer
Unless one of your family has car
pentering tendencies you will have
to take your sofa to a repair man.
If the leg is solid enough he may
put heavy dowel pin into the leg
and then set it into the main frame.
The dowel pin takes the place of the
wooden joint, which I imagine has
been broken. He will also strengthen
it with an angle iron, which is at
tached to the main frame and the
leg and will take much of the strain
which the leg would ordinarily get.
1t will probably last for years after
this treatment.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
My husbands hobby is tropical
fish and he has the incest, sunniest
window in the dining room for this.
1t is bay window and he has three
aquariums just alike. They are at
tractive, but I would like to use some
color at the windows and have potted
plants in it instead of having it look
like pet shop. Can you suggest
how we could make the window
attractive, and let the tropical fish
survive? MRS. B. L. r.
Answer
The tropical fish need warmth, so
why not build stand for them
over the radiators and set one
aquarium in the center of each
window? Frame your windows in
decorative white wire. place glass
shelves across them and for color
use plants in c6lored pots and tiny
porcelain birds and figures. Ivy can
be trained through the wire and
trailing things in hanging pots can
vary the design and fill in the empty
spots. This will keep your plants
where it is cool, your fish where it
is warm and will make your win
dow most attractive, as the plants
are an accent to the watery green
of the fish bowls.
