peur Before Committee
To Back House Bill

ShingtOn.-Advocate of repeal of

Southern States began arguments be-
fore the Senate Judiciary Committee,
urging that Il HouSe-approved bill to
end the law should be recommended to
the Senate, leaving it to the United
States Supreme Court to pass on its
constitutionality.
Argument for the proposed legiSla-
tion was presented by Joseph a. Pad
way, general counsel of the American
Federation of Labor, and will be fol
lowed by similar appeals to the com
mittee from the Congress of Industrial
Organizations and other groups.
The House passed the pOll-taN re-
pealer last May by Il vote of 265 to
ia, and Il Senate Judiciary Sub-com-
mittee since has approved it by ) t"

The full committee hearings, which
are expected to continue for several
days, drew quite Il Sizeable group of
spectators in the big Senate Caucus
room. and most members of the
eighteen-man committee were present to
hear the testimony.
When Mr.. Padway concluded, the
Committee recognized Lee PreSsman
general counsel of the CIO. but re,

brought to the attention of those
present that should East Liverpool

would create Il real hardship, much
worse than present. The local taking
this stand, that if no arrangements
could be made with these cities to
maintain a standard time in this dis
trict, they were definitely opposed to
the change in time here.
We had the pleasure of Il visit from
our National President James Duffy
who touched briefly on some phases Of
the drive for funds for the National
War Fund Campaign, combining the
work of II agencies, and stated that
while there might be Il house to house
canvass in Chester and Newell, there
was none being made in East Liver

trbuted to this drive to do SO at once.
President Duffy's visit was partly
due TO Il request from No. 9 to clarity
some rumorS that had been spread that
the wage scale in California was less
than that prevailing here. He traced
the progress of the efforts made by the
pioneers i'm the early days to establish
union recognition, citing the low wages
and miserable conditions which had to
be raised and overcome through the
wears that have gone since the incep-
ton of the bitter struggle to establish
living wages and decent conditions. He
stated that the generalware scale paid
in California was the same as that

Power of Movies
By AnseIo Pofyi.

The screen Is q force in the edu-
cation Of the people and 1t Is most
powerful in the education of child
hood and youth. Impressions are
easily set on the minds of children
and young people and once set they
are set for life. It is important then
that the ideas expressed in the play
on the screen shall be healthy for
the minds of the youthful audiences.
Those that seem harmful to me
are the sort that use sex, murder,
crimes of all sorts as the core Of
interest. The actions are swift
moving, exciting. and not in the
least influences for good. There is
no art, no beauty, no spiritual slim
ulation in them. There is much
to stimulate wrong thinking and
wrong conduct.
When a boy sees men shot down
in a screen drama he forgets the
unreality of the action. For the
time it is real to him. He rejoices
loudly in the destruction Of the
villain and of the next villain and

how to keep cider sweet. Years ago
I used to have plenty of cider and
the only process I ever used was
to put the cider in kettle, set over
the fire, and let it just heat until
you can see it quiver on top. Then,
simply put in fruit jars (sterilized as
for canning seal tight, and keep

to use one, it can be chilled In re-

found the cider kept perfectly and
tasted just as 1t did fresh. An
elderly lady, dead these many years,
gave me this information.

Round About the House

under the double window on both
sides Of the radiator and the owner
fails to redecorate. How can I cor
rect or cover It? Built-in shelves
offer the problem of finding q car
penter. M. A. T."
Answer-A simple remedy which
you could do yourself would be to
cover the one wall with fresh wall
tint. doubt If you could get the
sun f1ecked" idea, but that would
not be necessary. Merely select
color that will match the back
ground Of your present walls, and
with drapery interest on the window
wall you will never notice the plain
surface. If you would like to intro
duce color into the room, this will
be your opportunity. You might
tint the one wall a soft shade of
one Of the other colors In the room,
picking up upholstery shades or
some other accent Of your color
scheme. You might find this more
effective and less patched" look

the usual methods Of decoration. It

tions for making this high shelf a

Answer-T1ais would be an ideal
spot for a collection Of interesting
china plates, glass, pewter or any
other collection item that is not too
small in detail Being above eye
level puts fine detail almost out of
sight. You might also use a num-
Der OF striking small prints, such
as costume prints or block prints,
all framed alike. If there Is space
at either side Of the mantel these
might be continued down the wall
on each side to help bring the man
tel down. Another help would be
shallow containers with philoden-

We have laws regulating the
screen and the stage. We have
laws that say young children cannot
attend movies without an adult.
These laws are not enforced because
public opinion does not want them
to be enforced. In short, the fathers
and mothers of the youthful au-
diences do not want to deprive their
boys and girls of the pleasures-and
pains-of the screen drama.
I am against censorship of the

squarely on the shoulders OF the
fathers and mothers. Let them re-
member that the screen is a great
