Here is one thing
l must say - and l
can't say it too
strongly: You, the
movie audience, are
to blame, too, for
what Hollywood
has done. When it
made sex pictures
and crime pictures,
it did it because you
supported them.
Don't support them

fleld by the japanese, and even
worse the shelling of the field by
japanese warships, the tragic
deaths of many Of his comrades,
his experiences in the hospital
when he contracted dengue fever,
and in the hospital bomb shelter
where wounded men were brought
in and where doctors had to
operate by flashlights, experiences
under bombing when refuge was
found in fox holes and shelters,
and his experience in being buried
alive as the result of one raid by
the japanese.
With this background it was
strange and disheartening to come
home to find men in defense in
duStrieS out on strike, slowing the
deliveries of desperately needed
equipment to his comrades at Qua
dalcanal, while the fact, comment
ed on in the press, that the civilians
accepted the horrors OF shoe ra-
tioning calmly" seemed petty in
deed
In conclusion Capt. DISCARD
showed pieces of japanese equip
ment which he had collected at the
battlefront and brought home with
him.
FINE MUSIC
Setting the stage for the talk by
Capt. Bisgard, was the program Of
music by the Pipes brothers, Ken
meth, Howard, Herbert and Donald,
students in the city schools, who
under the direction of George
Burt, Central music department
head, were presented in brass
quartette numbers.
These four brothers are remark
ably fine musicians and were heard
III splendid program, Mr.. Burt
playing their accompaniments, Of
quartette numbers, with a trumpet
and trombone solo. They opened
with the national anthem, followed
by trumpet solo, by Herbert
Pipes, after which the four were
heard in service medley, arranged
by Herbert Pipes followed by a
trombone solo by Kenneth Pipes.
During the business meetin
aside from the election of officers,
the chief item of Importance was
the report by Mrs. Warren Currier,
current events chairman, who gave
a thought-provoking talk on the
necessity of planning now to meet
postwar problems, basing most of
her remarks on the labor problem
declaring it to be the biggest ma
tlonal problem.
Mrs. Currier, in scholarly, care
fully thought-out discussion, de-
scribed the English labor situation
contrasting it with the American,
analyzed this nations problems
ard corcluded with a plea to her
audience to consider carefully the
question aroused by her comments.
At the conclusion of the program
members of the clubs executive
board served tea to the group with
new members of the club as guests
of honor. The tea table was CEN
tered with a lovely arrangement of
scarlet sweet peas and white iris,
with Mrs. Hulse and Mrs. Tondro

Baskets of greenery and bouquets
of sweet peas were used in dec

SPLENDID WORK
Capt. Al BiSgard, stationed at
present at Camp FL Centro, and
who returned some weeks ago from
GUadalcanal, was guest speaker and
gave an intensely interesting ac-
count of his experiences from the
time he sailed for Pearl Harbor
until he returned to the Pacific
coast.
An easy, informal speaker, Capt.
Bisgard has nice sense of humor
which relieved the Grimness of his
story as he told something of the
tragedy and the horrors of the
warfare which American men are
undergoing at Guadalcanal. His
talk was characterized by an
earnest sincerity and he gave his
audience a better understanding
and realization of the actualities
Ct warfare.
The major portion of his talk was
devoted to his experiences at Qua
dalcanal where he described vivid

Thursday nights meeting of the
Ten Thousand clubs evening di-
vision was doubly important, not
only because the group enjoyed an
outstanding program presented by
Capt l.. NJ. Faulkner and Mrs. P.
H. Judd, but because the division
unanimously voted to disbanI for
the duration at the close of the cur
rent club year in May.
Due to the fact that so many
members are engaged in war work,
making it difficult to carry on un-
der the circumstances, the group
decided to discontinue its activities
for the duration.
FINE TALK
Capt. Faulkner, who returned re-
Gently from Guadalcanal, describ-
ed in interesting detail his expe-
riences overseas, going first to Pearl
Harbor, then to Midway, the New
Hebrides, New Caledonia, and then
to Guadalcanal.
Descriptions of bombings, of bat
ties, of all the hazards of modern
warfare were of particular interest
to Capt. Faulkners audience.
The speaker has droll wit, most
entertaining to his audience, and
this keen sense of hur r gave re-
lief to the tragic 81 his story.

Racing Aided
Rhode Island

Pawtucket, r. T., Sept. 30-Gover-
nor ]. Howard McGrath, OF Rhode
Island, replying to protest last July
10 against the reopening Of Mar
ragansett Park for its summer
meeting, said in part, Further, in
times such as these the Governor
has no right to deprive the State
or its municipalities Of substantial
sources OF revenue, making 1t nee
essary to raise this revenue from
other sources, unless such sacri-
flee Is entirely unavoidable and Of
commensurate aid to the war ef-
fort"
Complete vindication Of the chief
Executives Judgment came this
morning In the shape Of figures re-
leased by Judge James z. Dooley,
President Of NarTaganSett Park, who
said, 1.-THE State Of Rhode Island
has received $1,65&72407 as its
share Of the pari- mutuels commits
sion and breaEage during the sixty
six day season that has just con-
cluded at Narragansett Park. This
Is an increase Of $339,862 over the
season Of 1912, when the States
share amounted to $l,3l8,862.07."
Lower Tax Rate?
The vital importance of this rev.
enue in wartime and in so small a
State as Rhode Island, which has a
population of less than 800, 900, can
not be over--emphasized. 1t Is used
as follows: after collection ex-
penses (Which are very smalD have
been deducted, fifty per cent is re-
tanned by the State Government
and the remaining fifty per cent Is
divided among the other cities and
towns of the State in proportion to
the assessed valuations of their total
properties. Its purpose is the reduc-
ton of the tax rate for every citi-
ger of the nations smallest State.
An additional sum of approximately
$4,000 will be paid in corporation
taxes to the State, the Town OF East
Providence and the City of Paw
tucket, wherein the track Is located.
AS a further result of the sixty
six days racing at Narragansett the
Federal Government will receive ap-
proximately 100000 in Federal In
come Tax and an additional $4,000
approximately as Federal Admis-
sions Tax.
A total of $l28,270.5S was raised
for charitable purposes during Gan
sets 1913 season. On May 8 at the
Spring Meeting, $58,270.53 was rails
ed for the American Red Cross; on
closing day. September rs. an even
$4,000 was raised for the United
War Fund.
Racing has earned its place in the
American way OF life.
